Summary
Since the 4th of July holiday is upon us, we're going to re-run an interview we did with Ken Langone, the legendary financier, who helped take a bunch of companies public before co-founding Home Depot. He joined us a few years back to talk about his book, I Love Capitalism!: An American Story, but really it was just a fascinating conversation with a guy who grew up in a working-class family, put himself through school, and after some hard work and smart decisions and a few guardian angels, became one of the most successful businessmen in the country.
