As a fellow Jersey guy who was a screwup in school, I really appreciated this interview. I also was able to overcome and succeed. Thanks for another great interview. This show/podcast, along with Pivot, are my two favorites. Bravo!

[@irmazandl]

FANTASTIC podcast today. Harvey Schwartz is such an inspiring and smart guest. WOW! Thank you all.

[@c-note]

Thanks TCAF for enriching my 2024

[@chrisd6736]

Loved hearing his backstory including his parents struggling with mental illness. Very inspiring.

[@donyaschuk6538]

I always love the ending, 'What are you doing tomorrow?' Never gets old.

[@DKHOLLA469]

Fellow Rutgers guy. Great to see others finding tremendous success.

[@MBoyer-ng6ok]

Neat trajectory for a CEO--lots of set backs in education, work, intervention of angels--and feel good story of a late bloomer in finance in some ideal places (Citi, Goldman) and times in markets (1987, through 1990's up to GFC and to present). He really understands the vulnerability and volatility of markets and the impacts on individuals and institutions. Good reflection on constant reinvention of dynamic financial industry. Least likely to succeed in high school becomes most successful (financially) on Wall Street. Also, he retained client focus from his early days in cold calling muni bonds through to the CEO level (all CEO's should have to try and cold call sell their products to understand the client as well as product)...

[@StepOneFinances]

Always great podcasts! @TheCompound

[@Frederick0220]

I’m new to finance, so I didn’t understand all of the material and jargon here, but hearing Harvey’s back story was incredibly inspiring!

[@FredSox49]

All major company CEOs should have an attitude and style like Schwartz.

[@Traci.Nelson]

LOVED this interview! Would like to hear more from this guy very interesting. thank you

[@TheCompoundNews]

Thanks!

[@nicholasblake1392]

The FAS 157 accounting rule change on April 2, 2009 was extremely important for markets and no one ever talks about it!

[@meknizdceo701]

I love these stories of how people have come into their own after a slow start.

[@zeth9965]

Great job guys

[@TheCompoundNews]

Thanks!

[@wallacemotorssuzuki4810]

Great job fellas . Not just Carlyle on a roll…

[@TheCompoundNews]

Thanks!

[@mikekanecopywriter]

Great show 🎉

[@TheCompoundNews]

Thank you!

[@mikekanecopywriter]

@ you’re welcome!

[@Nick_Cowles11b]

ive made it 3 minutes in this video and i can already tell, im going to go crazy listening to this guy keep hitting the table with his hands.... lol Edit: Just finished, great story. Another fun podcast with lots of good info. The one thing that really stuck out to me was when Harvey said "You dont need to have the best performance each year, you just need to have constant returns over time compounding" Just great advice.

[@MisanthropVIE]

haha, yeah, he is pretty hands on and it's very annoying. otherwise great show.

[@lifehacksandlessons920]

Thank you Harvey on your frankness, Micheal on your restraint and patience, Josh on your preparation. Keep running with the bulls. But I did sense the talk as another big Private Credit sales pitch, I always wonder what that long term goal is, I wouldn't be surprised if it's another angle towards ownership by PE firms.

[@marcusrogers6824]

Drop the gems 💎

[@jeffb.2469]

God opened doors for you. Great story, because Harvey gave credit to those "angels" that intervened on his behalf. That's awesome! I'd love to work for a guy like this.

[@carolmatzenbacher9961]

Very excited for this one!!

[@JimmyMoock]

excellent show... awesome to hear his story, one that so many can relate to (except maybe becoming the CEO of Carlyle, only a few will get that part lol).

[@chrisp9466]

Well done. He should write an autobiography; fascinating backstory.

[@daedalusjones3804]

He looks like a Hollywood lead in his Carlyle Bio Pic. Guess that was 15 years ago or so! A great talk and great to see Harvey being in so much command of his social graces. A definite winner with his clients no doubt.

[@lexmaultsby]

Michael Batnick with the critical question to the CEO of Carlyle, a firm started in 1987 (timing is everything, historical returns are used to raise capital): Private equity and private credit no longer have cheap, uncompetitive assets and markets to themselves, How are you managing expectations for more modest forward returns? These private, alternative vehicles are fee machines, I presume there is a diversifying benefit but I remain a skeptic.

[@irwinjones3960]

I will now be measuring everything on the Hard Ass scale

[@dingalingdingdong_123]

I need a Carlyle vest lol

[@Flygal5]

Extremely interesting path. Thanks for bringing us this story.

[@TheCompoundNews]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@georgelien]

Please come back for another podcast 😊 Explain what QE really is

[@simrans3675]

Amazing guy - salute to his journey

[@doubleclick21]

I dont know if I'll ever be sold on private credit. From equities to options, futures, bonds, even event contracts(!), etc there's plenty of self-explanatory tools in the toolshed one can use right off the shelf or combine together for more exotic purposes. Why buy into a relatively opaque box and rely on promises that it works? Anyway, inspiring backstory to this guy.

[@raisedonmetal7984]

More like this........

[@ErickaWilliamsCC]

wow just the beginning of his parents mental illness and his interview story. This is a guy who has amazing stories would love to hear more in future interviews.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

It gave context to his philanthropy too. I'd like to see him again on the show as a repeating guest. Imagine if he was on with JC Parets, he'd have a lot of fun & add unique insights.

[@aj8599]

Yesssssssss

[@HorangelLashanda]

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@Flygal5]

Please use full names or last names when referring to people. I had to stop this a lot and look up people to know who you were talking about when you’re just using a first name. Great interview

[@cookieforawookie]

Man- all of his finger taps and table tapping is getting picked up like crazy by his mic. Duncan where were you!

[@notsure9343]

Word. Only made it halfway through. Someone get this guy some media training. Sooo loud. Love you guys!

[@cookieforawookie]

@@notsure9343 same man- it annoyed the crap out of me so fast.

[@baijuthomas3716]

What a great chat how we are reminded of the regulations from 07 . Can't help but think about how much there is to build in the crypto space for institutional investment as crypto becomes part of the portfolio

[@stevenniggebrugge6514]

Michael seems totally out of place today 😂

[@davidcohen2322]

This was not a speed-talking contest. Take a breath. It's clear you want to be the hard-charging finance guy, but give everyone around you a break once in a while.
