Thank you for having me on the podcast Anthony.
Love history
It was an honor. Thank you for joining me, Robert!
Amazing.
Hallo! My dark streak is a 4-lane Highway. I focus on hospital humor (Radiology flavor) 🤯 and satire. 😈
Mr Scaramucci, Thank you for this insightful conversation. The references and knowledge you yourself bring to the table shines through as well as creates the soil from which this highly educational conversation grew.
Insecure people are the most dangerous. My biggest mistake was underestimating the malicious nature of people
Thanks so much for listening! I hope you're enjoying the show.
Hi Anthony and Robert Greene getting ready to listen to this and hear what both you gentleman have to say.
The fact that this leader was taking notes over such a "theraputic" discussion (for me at least) makes me believe that his private part is probably as glorious and maje"stick" as his white house exit "speech".
Anthony: I was very surprised to see you in the Donald administration!. Your show gives you some me a totally different view of you👏👏.
Hello from the Midwest🙋♂️
Yeah I gave my daughter the 50th Law, and she went on to read 50 cents Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter. Helped her so much because she works in an hostile work environment she was able to go back to work with a better mindset.
outstanding, perhaps the best. Thank you for turning me on to this genius.
Sure could relate to only going half way.
Trump and COVID WOKE me up. Great motivating guest. Thanks Mooch.💖
When you're in the middle of a deep serious interview and slowly things start going to gossip about the white house and tea is tea❤😂:
Great podcast 👏 wow Robert Greene is an extraordinary writer. He knows his history and Anthony so do you. You men are very sophisticated and it was a learning experience for me. Thank you
I love Robert Greene. His books help me so much. Thank You.
Fascinating & very educational info here. Thanks for this extremely interesting discussion!
Great interview!! Brilliant conversation. Thank you Anthony S.
Thank you for this interview. I loved the examples when I read this book ( and another one of Greenes). I worked in large multinationals at top levels and couldn’t work out what was going on around me at times. it was all foggy. I realised it was power play. Very eye opening to read the methods that people were employing around me. I was pretty naive but Greene helped me to understand how people who use power actually operate. Quite a few of the techniques are not my way of operating but it sure helped me to understand the way others might be trying to strategise around me……
My father preached the 11th commandment: “Do not bullshit thy father.” I naively took that into my career and I was used. ☹️
I so enjoy this conversation which is so deeply honest & raw open publicly. It is rare and I truly can not see a woman unveil & get nude on such secretive feelings. My opinion
I am definitely going to check your book Robert Greene.
The subject is much too case sensitive to me
And, right or wrong, you, Robert Greene, are an HSP or highly sensitive person which also means that you are highly strong.
To survive highly sensitive singularity makes one very strong 🇫🇷🇺🇸
Thank you Anthony Scaramucci
Loving these conversations, regards from Australia.
Thanks, Anthony! I’m really enjoying this series. I enjoyed MoochFM too, but these interviews are really relatable for me.
Didnt think Id ever bother listening to a podcast by Anthony "The Mooch" Scaramucci, but that speaks to the power of Robert Greene 😂
Great interview. I enjoyed it immensely!! Bravo
Ego: how do we keep our ego in check?
Be aware that you have one - self absorbed and insecure - wound to ego - you check your ego by being aware of it.
Arguments lead to nothing productive -
Monitor yourself - how much of your behavior is trigger by your Ego?
Great discussion between two high level individuals, very thought provoking conversation. Definitely a part 2 needed.
Genius to start this channel. Thank you. The GOP is sinking like the Titanic. So scary as a moderate conservative to see this unfolding.
Zig Ziglar, "Every obnoxious act is a cry for help."
It means to look into each person's heart.
Also, think of Peter Drucker's work in observing organizations. The cream rises to the top until it sours.
The Behavior Panel has helped me from a management point of view.
Yaaasssss!!
Insecurities became my motivation…didn’t like it, but it made me work harder. Wound up in the top 5% of my profession.
Loved thiis interview! I have admiration for Robert. The interviewer's questions were very pertinent too! Great questions!
Referring to the section around TC 18:30:
agreed that everything will pass. However, I personally think that there is a line for making that the guideline for our decisions: when a situation would cost people their wellbeing, their lives, their loved ones, their peace, or their freedom. It a case like that I think we have to think and act very smartly and very actively. Because sure, there were, for example, other democracies that just died. But this came always with the terrible suffering of human beings. Speaking as a German here who watches in horror what's happening in the US right now becasue it feels in a way so terribly familiar
Countries we never imagined struggling with Authoritarian tendencies in 2020's. Couple to name; Italy, Baltics, Isreal, Hungary and others.
Rachael Maddow has good series you may like "ultra" and "Deja News". BagMan is Nixon days.
Normally i have no patience to
watch long videos, but i really enjoy it.Thank you.
Brilliant discussion, Thank you.
Very good, thanks. Always enjoy the personal insights.
Glad to see that you have regained your vigor Robert! Stay healthy. Thanks for this episode Anthony!
Amazing content
Robert Green💚, so glad to have discovered😀🙌
I really enjoyed the conversation
Thanks for sharing
I think narcissism is in denial or unaware of the dark side.
Great insights in that book
Greene is a good man.
can't wait for SublimeLL brilliant minds
Anthony. What you said about Melania is the sin of gossip and detraction. Go to confession.
Excellent interview. Thank you and God bless!
i am shocked that this video has not blown up! all the better for me. I'm sort of glad this is a low profile video
Thank you for your honest thoughts. I'm afraid at the moment what's going on globally. I'm German and belong to the post-war generation.
Good luck ❤
We have free will- faith or destiny?kind of guides our life?
According Neuroscience - we don’t have free will but we have Free won’t !we are driving by our impulses - to which we say yes or no-
😊
I love the room Mr Greene is in... are those pet food dishes by the wall register?
Only a fool doesn't know . Never outshine the master. 👍👏
Some time the dark side dont feel good to me, its a negative, it can hurt others , so i dont like it so i rarely show a dark- side unless someone aim is to trigger it and has pushed my limits to abuse my NICE nature, so i hope there other out there too who rather be natural nice kind person- makes me feel better person inside
"Validation" is an inherent life force - Like the other elements in life. All thinking creatures must have it. It's like the 5th element. When a man feels lack, his compulsions drive him to compensate.
Sometimes, a man's childhood leaves him with a void - without a strong sense of validation. His unconscious, seeking to bring the balance back, will drive him to compensate for this lack of validation.
Because it is driven by unconscious forces, it is far more powerful than conscious reason! Our conscious awareness is a new acquisition for humans. It is weak and prone to error. The unconscious drives are going to overtake conscious reason. This happens when the man feels he is not valid. His unconscious might drive him to compensate through the pathological or gluttonous pursuit of avarice, celebrity, power, etc. Or even to take the lives of others; or, to even make human sacrifices to the gods.
To be sure, Validation is the 5th Element. Man's unconscious will try always to bring the balance back. That might involve serial murder or celebrity, or some other symbolic compensation.
What up Mucc
👍
Simple don’t trust people 80% of they time, they will lie to you.
Thanks. Enjoyed it till about half way through. Then my blood sugar spiked because i ate two oranges and a banana (as part of a nutritious breakfast . . . haha). My patience was at an end. Amateur philosopher here and life long bible student. Been in psychotherapy. So none of this is new to me. Thx again. Gonna watch THE NAKED CITY (1948) now. I need to actually SEE the dark side in action. Words alone aren't compelling enough for my ego. I crave excitement. Dr. Abraham Low wrote about former nervous and mental patients. *WE EXCITE OURSELVES IN DEVIOUS WAYS.*

Ahh ok I see
Lay not up your treasures where thieves break in and steal…but instead lay up your treasures in heaven where thief’s do not break in and steal…
I like Robert Greene and the majority of the things he says but I ultimately wonder if he is trying to tell us to also be a conformist. Don't outshine the master is a form of conforming.
Guns of august - on Kennedy’s night stand .
This guy, I swear. Bringing out the worst in people, which some people hail as great psychology. It’s great psychology for cheating, lying rats.
