The David Rubenstein Show: Robert F. Smith

[@jimmymungai522]

I came here after the Morehouse College announcement!! This man is something else, I tell you!

[@samanthajwright4839]

Yes...

[@ZankhnaPatel-ys4hu]

The first thing I do in the morning is hear your interview Robert Smith. I have actually memorized your whole interview. Truly inspirational and thanks for doing this interview. Ui have really enjoyed your insights

[@RashidKapadia]

These "Peer-to-Peer Conversations" / interviews are consistently top class. I greatly enjoy watching them. And I learn a lot. Specially from this interview. New to me. Quick paced conversation. Inspiring guest. Both interviewer and interviewee are good role models. Good balance of content, mutual respect, and humility. Thanks posting and sharing. Please keep them coming : )

@Michael Hinton His name sounds Indian so its likely that he isn't American ( like me ) and hence he might not know this gentlemen being interviewed.

[@evelynramos445]

The top don't get there by any other than hard work and kept up the class! Came w it!

[@evelynramos445]

"Mutual respect," nice wording to add of acknowledgments and exchanges, respectfully.

[@levarhaffoney6117]

Great interview. Robert Smith is a wonderful inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and anyone who is working on becoming the best version of themselves.

[@sjlomax2061]

Smith is a tax cheat, the individual who funded Vista Equity initially (Robert Brockman) has been indicted for tax crimes, money laundering, human trafficking...truly despicable.

I find the David Rubenstein Show to be a great and informative show. He has great guests and great interviews. I am very happy for Robert F. Smith and the success and good works he has been able to do. I wish his shows were translated (subbed/dubbed) -- the content is globally relevant. It is amazingly educational, informational, and at times inspirational.

[@ebonyhoffman4239]

[@ayveelrobinson5225]

Such an amazing story. I think it is interesting to point out the connects he made in his second year in business school. Ken Chenault, Stan O'Neil, John Utendahl, etc. It shows that yes hard work can pay off, but access to power is the lifter and enabler of his kind of story. Much respect to Robert Smith. Doing so many awesome things in various communities.

This was one of the most classiest and intelligent interviews that I have ever seen. It is so encouraging to see how the interviewer and interviewee have such mutual respect for each other.

I agree…but no man wants battle the world and come home and fight a battle in his home. Too many of our women believe that conflict resolution requires the love and hip-hop model: aggressive, abrasive, emasculating. It’s the same reason a lot of Black women are also willing to choose euro-men because they don’t want to have to struggle with men who aren’t about their discipline… We both have a disconnect. Unfortunately, the gap is widening and I don’t even know how we fix it.

You either let it destroy you or you brush it off and keep moving just like this man did. There is not 1 white man stopping you or anyone you know including myself from making better decisions, getting and education and working hard. So what is this oppression you speak of ? Now, if we were in say North Korea, Cuba or Venezuela, now that’s a different story, that right there is real oppression. Name me 1 oppression holding black folks down.

I am concerned by hepatic steatosis, fatty liver disease, a condition where the liver due to an accumulation of fats becomes enlarged, inflamed, and less flexible. Obesity is one of the causes. In the USA it affects 1 out of 3 adults. It is possibile congenital but surely attributable to very bad dietary habits leading to metabolic disorders. Some medicines can also alter liver functioning, which could worsen the situation. I would like to know how this medical condition is treated in the US? Is there an association of different enzymes that can treat it? How are they administered? Are they costly? Can they be purchased over the counter at local pharmacies? Are they reinbursed by medical insurance? Thanks for your help.
