WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
THIS IS A BLUEPRINT FOR UNSHAKABLE RESILIENCE
WHEN YOU FEEL THE LEAST ABLE TO SUCCEED.
I don't care about your politics. This isn't a book for political junkies. It's a book for people who want some straightforward advice on how to get through anything life throws you.
I'm an open book, sharing my journey's ups and downs, wins and losses. People call me "The Mooch," and whether you're a friend or a foe, my story is bound to grab your attention and teach you a thing or two.
​
From being a big shot on Wall Street to landing a gig as the White House Communications Director and then bouncing back into the financial world, it's been quite the rollercoaster. But hey, it's not just about the ride; it's about what you learn along the way.
​
"From Wall Street to the White House and Back" isn't your typical success story. It's more like a crash course in overcoming setbacks. With each page, I reveal what went down behind the scenes in the Oval Office, share some wild tales from chilling in the Bahamas with crypto bigwig Sam Bankman-Fried, and discuss encounters with various business, politics, and cultural characters.
​
In each chapter, you'll encounter unexpected people like Eminem, Leo Tolstoy, Sigmund Freud, and Tony Robbins. They're all part of the colorful backdrop to my journey— one filled with persistence, lessons learned, and, of course, redemption.
With my usual honesty and some humor, I've gathered twenty-five lessons from my crazy ride of ups and downs, successes and failures. These aren't just stories; they're the real-deal wisdom I've picked up along the way after every setback.
​
Consider this book your go-to guide if you're feeling a bit lost in life, your career or just trying to figure out where to go next. I've been through the wringer—humiliation, career crashes, you name it—but I've come out with insights that I know you need to hear.
​
Setbacks aren't the end of the road; they're just detours on the way to success. Whether you've hit a rough patch, tasted failure, or are simply looking for some guidance in this crazy journey we call life, "From Wall Street to the White House and Back," tells it to you straight. It's all about resilience, learning from our mistakes, and realizing that reinvention is always on the table.

“I talked about embracing failure in my book, and I can say that Anthony’s book is a great tool for anyone that wants to learn how to bounce back from setbacks and failure.”
​- Arnold Schwarzenegger, 38th
Governor of the State of California
“We all fall. We all know life will bring struggle and suffering. The idea that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is only true if you know how to turn a challenge into an opportunity. That's what Anthony teaches us in this book. It is a gift.”
-Chris Cuomo, Anchor Newsnation
"Love him or hate him, there is nobody quite like my friend "The Mooch." From the world of finance to D.C., his illustrious career is filled with successes, failures, and, most importantly, stories that only Anthony could tell. His experience both leading up to, and following, his 11 memorable days in the Trump White House is the kind of unique journey that makes this book a real page-turner, filled equally with lessons and laughs; and, an in-depth look into the life of one of the most interesting people I know."
- Robert Wolf, Founder 32 Ventures, former Chairman UBS Americas
