   The Making of a Narcissist: The Wolf of Wall Street

   What Drives a Man to Trade His Soul for Power? In this compelling conversation, Laura Giles takes a deep dive into the rise and unraveling of Jordan Belfort, the infamous anti-hero of The Wolf of Wall Street. What turns a clean-cut dreamer into a chaotic king of excess? Giles unpacks the hidden forces—early childhood experiences, the intoxicating pull of money, and the invisible grip of social circles—that shaped his descent. Along the way, she invites listeners to reflect on their own values, the power of influence, and why stories like Belfort’s captivate us so deeply.
