Lloyd Blankfein's Commencement at LaGuardia Community College
Definitely inspiring and always interesting to hear Lloyd's speeches. Thought some monkeys might want to give it a listen. Please post any other commencement speeches that were motivational and inspiring to some of you.
Great speech.
"certainly not the easiest of economic times"-no kidding

I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but that was a fantastic speech.
Steve jobs' speech is well worth a watch.
I don't have enough points to post the link but these two are great: "Jamie Dimon Adress to HBS MBA Class of 2009" and "Steve Schwarzman Delivers Commencement Address at Quinnipiac".
I wonder what the connect to Laguardia Community College is
I'm guessing you didn't listen to the speech
Blankfein and inspiring do not belong in the same sentence...
Thanks for sharing!
I actually highly recommend Conan O'Brien's speech at Dartmouth. I know he's not in finance, but this was given right around after he took over for Jay Leno and then was pushed out. He goes into good detail of what it feels like to put in all the work to get to your dream job, and then have it suddenly pulled out from under you. It's does a great job discussing what mindset you need to have to succeed, and definitely entertaining.
There is a long lead up but if you want to skip to the substance go to around 15:30
Like him or not, he did a great job with this speech and shed some light on his hard work that helped him leave the projects. Llloyd was very inspiring in this. In general, he is a fairly good public speaker. I imagine if Dimon gave a commencement speech it would go something along the lines of "That's why I am richer than you."
Without a doubt the best commencement speech ever:
Incredible speech. Inspiring for all of us poor guys trying to make it.
or underlvled pokemon!
I like Ali G's harvard commencement address better. "Big up Princeton!"
Surprisingly good speech.
Nice. But my fav. Blankfein 'speech' has always been the folloiwng (pay attention to detail...):
East NY ain't an easy place...tremendous speech
