His eponymous TV interview program, The David Rubenstien Show: Peer to Peer Conversations, airs on Bloomberg TV and various PBS stations.

Quotes: “Moneymaking was never anything to me. I was happy never making money; I just was happy doing things I liked. But I fell into the money thing. I now don’t feel guilty about it, but I am determined to give away the bulk of it and enjoy doing it.” | “What do most people say on their deathbed? They don’t say, ‘I wish I’d made more money.’ What they say is, ‘I wish I’d spent more time with my family and done more for society or my community.'”
