Reasonably Happy with Paul Ollinger

Wall Street, the movie: a panel discussion - Ep 104

This week we tried out a new format—a panel discussion about the 1987 classic Oliver Stone film, Wall Street. It starred Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas, Darryl Hannah and a whole bunch of other amazing actors. The movie, which was a morality tale about financial excess, both celebrated and condemned the era's obsession with money and over-the-top luxury (clearly that’s over!). In addition to cocaine, caviar, and steak tartare, it asked us to consider: How much is enough?  How do you define success? Is greed, for lack of a better word, good? My friend A.M. Bhatt and I moderated this discussion on the Clubhouse app including previous Crazy Moneyguests: Turney Duff, author of The Buy Side Lisa Birnbach, author of The Official Preppy Handbook Brad Klontz, financial psychologist and author of Money Mammoth and other books  Get tickets to Paul’s show in Woodstock on April 22 here. Rate and review Crazy Money here.
