In this episode, Jennifer Morrison sits down with author Mateo Askaripour to discuss his debut novel—an instant New York Times Bestseller: Black Buck. Published in 2021, Black Buck is a satirical story about a young man given a shot at success at a mysterious, cult-like tech startup with the reader along for the ride. Based on Mateo's real-life career experiences in New York City, Jennifer discovers just how Mateo rose up the ranks from an intern to a director at 24 years old managing 30 people and making a six-figure salary in only a few years within the harsh Wolf of Wall Street environment and how his optimism allowed him to not only survive, but thrive in order to bring us Black Buck.
