Andy sits down with John LeFevre former Salomon Brothers and Citigroup banker, author of The New York Times bestseller Straight To Hell, and owner of the popular Twitter/X account Goldman Sachs Elevator. They kick things off by revisiting John’s career in global finance—from climbing the ranks at Citigroup to managing deals across New York and Hong Kong—and the moments that led him to walk away from it all.
The conversation turns to the infamous Goldman Sachs Elevator account, exploring its meteoric rise and the humor that resonated with millions. They unpack how the finance industry has evolved since his departure, touching on everything from a softer Wall Street culture to the implications of DEI initiatives in corporate America.
John and Andy also discuss the shifting political climate with Trump’s return, its impact on global business, and the future of American influence. From regulatory changes to cultural overhauls, John offers his unfiltered take on where things are headed. Wrapping up, they delve into life beyond finance—John’s thoughts on fatherhood, the value of family, and how stepping away from Wall Street shaped his perspective on what really matters.
