He Repaired My Marriage And Then We Lost Him Forever - Mike Maimone

from Open Book with Anthony Scaramucci · host SALT & Goalhanger

I got fired from the White House, my marriage was falling apart, and the guy who talked me off the ledge was my publicist, Howard Bragman, a man so full of life he'd call you 'numbnuts' one minute and heal your family the next. On this episode of Open Book, musician Mike Maimone tells me what it was like to love Howard, lose him, and turn that grief into the most honest book I've read all year. Mike Maimone is a singer-songwriter, pianist, and producer. He has written and published more than two hundred songs, many heard on TV, in movies, and on the radio. He has played festivals such as Lollapalooza, headlined legendary venues like the Metro and the Troubador, performed on keys with Stevie Wonder, and toured in support of OK Go, Plain White T's, Blues Traveler, and more. I loved his late husband, Howard Bragman, and I loved this book, Guess What? I Love You , which I recommend you pick up ASAP. Anthony Scaramucci is the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge, a global alternative investment firm, and founder and chairman of SALT, a global thought leadership forum and venture studio. Pre-order my next book, All the Wrong Moves: How Three Catastrophic Decisions Led to the Rise of Trump, out on the 17th of September in the UK and the 22nd of September in the US: ⁠https://www.scaramucci.net/allthewrongmoves Learn more about your ad choices.
