Show Notes

With great swings, come great wins and great losses. Few companies know that better than SoftBank, the Japanese holding company made famous for its investments in Alibaba, Arm Holdings, WeWork, and other tech names that have dominated headlines from the past decade-plus. 


Alok Sama is the former President and CFO of SoftBank and the author of the new book “The Money Trap: Lost Illusions Inside the Tech Bubble.” Ricky Mulvey caught up with Sama to discuss:

  • OpenAI’s latest fundraising round.
  • “Happiness for everyone” as an investment philosophy.
  • The illusion – and reality – of power.
