Journey of a Renowned Banker: From Trade to Banking Success

I had never heard of Edmond Safra until I read Daniel Gross's informative and inspiring biography, A Banker's Journey.

For those who knew him and did business with him, he was everyone's favorite banker. His banks never had to write off loans, and many of his early deals were on a handshake. He never needed a government bailout, nor did he ever head to DC complaining about regulations. 

While his professional and personal story is uplifting, the Shakespearian periods of his life include the American Express saga and how he died.

During this conversation, Dan Gross gives us a dozen compelling reasons to revisit this banker's remarkable life.
