Anthony Scaramucci Says He Was 'Rolled in Broken Glass' and Put Through a 'Sausage Grinder' After Being Fired by Trump: His One Rule for Bouncing Back
Skybride Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci drew on one of the most painful chapters of his career to deliver a message to anyone facing criticism or setbacks: keep walking.
Anthony Scaramucci Says Ignore The Haters
In a post on X earlier this month, Scaramucci urged people to ignore the "naysayers" and "haters" when they are trying to accomplish something meaningful.
He also warned against letting social pressure get in the way of personal goals.
In an accompanying video, Scaramucci expanded on the message, describing the kind of resistance people can face when they try to achieve something important.
He then turned to his own experience, saying that when he was fired, he felt as though he had been "rolled in broken glass." He added that he was subsequently put through a "sausage grinder."
"But that wasn’t enough either," Scaramucci said. "I’m still walking."
Scaramucci Says Remember Where You Came From
Scaramucci’s advice is to return to your "origin" when things get difficult.
He encouraged people to remember what they represent "as a person, as a culture, as a family" and use that foundation to overcome whatever resistance they are facing.
The message ends on an upbeat note, with Scaramucci telling viewers they are capable of getting through whatever challenge is in front of them.
"You’re totally capable," he said. "You know you are."
Anthony Scaramucci Was Fired After Just 11 Days
The message carries particular weight given Scaramucci’s own experience in the White House.
During Donald Trump’s first term he appointed Scaramucci as White House communications director in July 2017. Just 11 days later, he was removed from the role after John Kelly became White House chief of staff.
The former White House communications director also failed the New York bar exam twice.
Rather than shying away from failure, Scaramucci has previously encouraged people to acknowledge their mistakes openly.
"It’s OK to own your mistakes," he said, urging people to recognize what they did right and wrong, take responsibility and then move forward.
Scaramucci, who grew up on Long Island, New York, earned a degree in economics from Tufts University before receiving his law degree from Harvard Law School. Celebrity Net Worth estimates his net worth at around $150 million.
