CNBC and Yahoo Finance Interviews

I was interviewed today by both CNBC and Yahoo Finance about the book. This was supposed to be the book’s release date so talking about it when nobody can read it might be seen as anticlimactic, but it’s also the anniversary of the day GameStop went from a dud retailer to the biggest financial story of 2021. Anyway, stay tuned for more media appearances!

On CNBC for GameStop Mania Anniversary

I spoke about the book (out in a week!!!!) with CNBC this morning. I’m no natural on TV and always a bit nervous about condensing the insights of a whole column, much less a 320 page book, into a series of soundbites. But I think Andrew Ross Sorkin’s questions were sharp and my answers were acceptably concise. Check it out:
