Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Money Trap
Alok Sama · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Raza Jaffrey
65/100
👎 Skip It
An insider's candid look at SoftBank dealmaking with a self-aware, reflective streak rather than just tech-bubble bragging — that's a real strength. But the details beyond publisher and press summaries are thin, so it lands as mixed rather than a confident recommend, and Raza Jaffrey's narration is a solid, professional listen.
