It needs to stop. Scott Galloway. Scott Galloway is a professor at NYU Stern School of Business. The Howard Stern of the business work. We have a little schick for you today. We want to ask you the 10 spiciest burning questions today that we had. A long time to give up edibles, but far away. I am living large and I love it I am so good at spending money I

0:21.6

spend money like a 50s gangster just diagnosed with ass cancer Scott you want to get into this sucker

0:26.3

let's go I feel like I can rule the world I know I could be what I want to

0:31.9

I put my all in it like no days off on the road let's try to you want me to be is people, negative comments, making sure that people really believe I'm not running for president based on my answers?

0:43.3

Like, are we going to all Saul's with no chip here? What are we doing?

0:47.3

All right, so you did this post the other day, which was pretty hilarious.

0:50.3

You said, I finally know what it feels like to be an attractive woman because I'm at Davos and everyone's looking down at my chest and deciding if they're going to talk to me or not. It was great. I loved your Davos stuff. You actually said something amazing. You were like, I don't even want to be here. I'd rather be at home with my kids. And I thought that was awesome. But what I want to know is when you're around all these incredibly successful people, people who are actually like in the Illuminati, who had the most gravity towards them? Who were you drawn to?

1:14.2

Oh, hands down, Governor Newsom. Wow. I walked down, there's this in the Congress hall. First off, I haven't been back to Davos in 27 years. I peaked early. Like, I came out of the gate strong, and then divorce, dot-com implosion, great financial recession.

1:31.6

My career went sideways for 10 or 15 years, so it's taken me 27 years to get back to Davos.

1:35.6

And I'm walking around, I'm like, I'm not running for office, I'm not raising money.

1:37.4

I'm not pitching anything.

1:38.3

Why the fuck am I here?

1:43.4

In my favorite moment, I walked down into the main area of the Congress Hall.

2:19.8

Gavin Newsom was walking around like, I'm the president, and everyone believed him. He had an entourage. That guy has such star power. And this was the nicest moment for me, because I'm desperate for other people's affirmation. He's walking with an entourage. He spots me in the corner of his eye, and it comes over to me, and and he hugs me and he says, keep doing what you're doing. Governor Newsom has that star power. Hands down, star power on the other side of the spectrum, I saw this old man with a pod belly walking around desperate to find someone to talk to and no one was interested and it was Lindsey Graham and that gave me a lot of joy. Did you, you know, you're incredibly successful.

2:21.2

You're incredibly influential.

2:24.6

But when you're at Davos, you're around, like, literally the people controlling the world.

2:26.0

They're the most famous, powerful people on Earth.

2:27.8

Was there anything that you learned?

2:32.4

I don't think I was able to discern differences or draw anything,

2:33.9

conclusions around these type of people.

2:35.1

The things I walked away from Davos with is that the last time I was there in 99, it was about e-commerce and the U.S. brand was
