- In this episode of Big Shot, we sit down with Wall Street titan Leon Cooperman. The son of working-class Polish immigrants and a first-generation college graduate, Leon founded Omega Advisors after a successful 25-year career at Goldman Sachs, where he rose to become Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Despite being one of the richest men on the planet, Leon lives modestly, even still changing his own lightbulbs. In this fascinating conversation, he shares insights on achieving success in business, marriage, and family, along with his philosophy on giving back, inspired by the belief that "a man's net worth is measured not by what he earns but by what he gives away." Leon even gets political and shares his thoughts on former President Trump. We can’t wait for you to listen.

I’ve listened to every single episode and all of you guys attribute your success to hard work or your hard upbringings.
There is only one reason why and thats because the favour of YHWH rest upon His people.
i agree this is the best and i will sponsor it one day soon
Absolutely loved every second of this ❤
Love this interview! Thank you so much
Great episode
Great podcast, just discovered this channel. Great guest, wow! If I make it to 80yo, I can only hope to be that sharp and articulate! Bravo. The anti-Semitic politics, I never understood the value of cutting out a segment of society that has been such a benefit to it….then again, someone has to buy pick-up trucks, right?
Another could have been a dentist? But Mr. Cooperman could be the Big Shot Executive Producer
calm down a bit. Let the man answer the questions. He's 81, he's seen alot.
