Ari Emanuel is an iconic Hollywood agent who inspired the character Ari Gold on HBO’s “Entourage.” Known to clients as a foul-mouthed “rage-gent” with a relentless approach to dealmaking, Emanuel has since built an entertainment industry empire, as CEO of TKO, which owns the WWE and the UFC. In this episode of Settle In, he talks with Amna Nawaz about his new memoir, “Roll the Calls,” his childhood struggles with dyslexia, the relentless drive behind his success, and growing up alongside his high-achieving brothers, politician Rahm Emanuel and bioethicist Ezekiel Emanuel.
