A fireside chat between Anthony Scaramucci, former White House Director of Communications under President Trump, and Jeff Johnston, Head of Subscription Finance at Wells Fargo, headlined the Monday morning session at the Symposium. Scaramucci was terrific—unquestionably the best presentation at an FFA event. He gave a ton of colorful insights into his time at the White House, the intersection of economic inequality and President Trump’s re-election chances, the 2020 Democratic field, investing in opportunity zones and interest rate policy. He kept the audience laughing for 45 minutes. While FFF does not have permission to quote Scaramucci, he may or may not have confessed to having a crush on Jeff Johnston’s Miami Vice-inspired shoes.
