Schwarzman Is a Boss

Take note, monkeys: if you ever actually "make it" in this business, this is how you want to sound in an interview. The word indefatigable comes to mind as he laughs off the factors that give everyone else on Wall Street ulcers. He calls himself "irrelevant" in the context of the juggernaut he founded. He manages to find the positive in everything. And he insists on ethical behavior at every level. This is a great interview.

schwarzman is a baller though #positiveeffectsofsmallmancomplex

I hate to disagree here but this Bloomberg interview is not really representative of Schwarzman's usual demeanor. He appears very mellow in this one, like a kind grandpa talking patiently to his grandkids.

The real Mr. Schwarzman is much sharper and intense with his signature sense of humor. I think the following clip provides a much better glimpse of what his usual demeanor is like and what one would expect when sitting down with him at a boardroom.

Incidentally, I saw that the post "how to bribe into restaurants" is back on the homepage again. Like most commenters to that post, I would not pay a cover charge/bribe just to get into a supposedly exclusive restaurant. I would, however, do what is necessary to secure a seat at the Al Smith Dinner.

Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep.

Possibly the most private equity-y word ever uttered.

At what point in the clip does he use it?

oh do pay attention WKDD, Ed Brav is using it to decribe swarz
