In the premiere episode of Beyond the Wolf, the companion podcast to The Real Wolf of Wall Street, Amy Palmer sits down with former Stratton Oakmont employee Donna Schlessinger. Donna shares how Jordan Belfort personally recruited her, what it was like walking into Stratton’s chaotic trading floor, and her firsthand memories of the extravagant parties, luxury yachts, Quaaludes and relentless pursuit of wealth. Looking back more than 30 years later, she separates the Hollywood mythology from the reality of living inside a world that was thrilling, excessive, and destined to collapse.
