Navigating Capital Markets and Kids with Bob Diamond

Only in America can someone have the opportunity to go from being an educator to one of the most influential figures in banking and capital markets.   Bob Diamond is Founding Partner and CEO of Atlas Merchant Capital, a company that seeks to build long-term value for their investors through differentiated expertise in financial services and credit markets.   I've been friends with Bob for a long time, and he continues to fascinate me, not just by his career trajectory but also his insightfulness, charisma, and great set of values.  When I spend time with Bob, I always walk away with a new piece of wisdom that I can #ShareItForward.   On Celebrations Chatter we discuss current economic challenges such as inflation, the banking crisis, and the state of capital. We also share on the importance of having healthy relationships with your family members, and how he set his children up for success through an intentional upbringing.   Even though he's a Red Sox fan, Bob is an outstanding individual and expert in his field. You'll learn a lot by listening to this episode!     New podcast episodes released weekly on Thursday.
