Hi everybody, tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday. For the long version, tune in on Wednesdays. Hi everyone, I'm Nikolai Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian Sovern Wealth Fund, and today I'm in New York and I'm in the Bloomberg offices. Now, normally when I'm in the Bloomberg offices I see a journalist or an anchor, but today I'm seeing the man himself, Michael Bloomberg. I'm very careful to not be a journalist.
Um, the one thing you can't do is get involved in the journalism if you're going to have good journalism. So there's one guy, John McLithwave, who runs it. Mike, uh, you just have one of the most extraordinary journeys in in American business, starting uh Bloomberg, being mayor for 12 years. being one of the most important philanthropists. And so perhaps we can just go all the way back the day that you I was born at an early age.
Yeah, you absolutely. Uh no, let's start with uh Salmon Brothers, because you were, you know, strangely enough, you were at some stage laid off and then the next day you started Bloomberg. So what do you th what do you think then? Um I was uh grew up in Massachusetts.
