Having founded brokerage house Stratton Oakmont in the late 80s, Belfort quickly grew the company to become the largest of its kind in the United States. Under Belfort’s leadership, the firm was known as one of the most dynamic and successful sales organisations in Wall Street history. It also grew to an almost unprecedented level, employing over 1,000 stockbrokers and raising over $1.5 bn.
These dizzying heights were followed by a spectacular and well-publicised fall from grace. But today, Jordan Belfort’s legacy represents the ultimate redemption story. Not only was he portrayed by Leonard Dicaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street but he’s become one of the world’s leading motivational speakers, running sales training sessions that extend far beyond asking you to sell him a pen.
Having recently joined the lucrative business of NFT’s, Belfort has completed a $440k purchase of a CryptoPunk and is quickly becoming known as a thought-leader in this space. In this exclusive Business Leader Insight interview, we talk to Jordan about leadership, NFT’s, cryptocurrency and much more.
