Is public market investors we often see the result of a deal which comes down to the

cash and stock option for it?

But I think this book was a good reminder of just how personal a lot of this ends up being

and it's not based on an exact formula.

I'm Mary Long and that is a steamed monthly full-money book club member, Ricky Mulby.

To cap off our weekend of entertainment focus shows, I sat down with Ricky and Diedra

to talk through Bob Eiger's 2019 memoir, The Ride of a Lifetime.

We discuss the difference between being a deal maker and being a visionary, what it takes

to bring big deals to the table and see them through to fruition.

Plus some leadership advice from Bob Eiger, that Bob Eiger himself may want to consider.

If you've read The Ride of a Lifetime and have takeaways or quibbles that you'd like

to share, let us know at podcasts at fool.com or on Twitter at monthly full-money.

We're open to wrecks for the next book club.

We all want to believe we're irreplaceable.

The trick is to be self-aware enough that you don't cling to the notion that you are the

only person who can do this job.

As wise words from Bob Eiger's memoir The Ride of a Lifetime, which we are discussing

today for monthly full-money book club joining us for it, Steve D'Roullard and Mary Long

good to see you both.

Good to be here, Ricky.

Yeah, I'm excited here.

I'm very excited.
