"A Deal is a Deal: once you make a deal with someone, it's really important to carry it through. If you start developing the wrong reputation, it makes it impossible to make future deals. Once you shake hands, that should be it." - Donald J. Trump In this episode, we explore the ethical dilemmas faced by participants in The Apprentice, focusing on the importance of reliability, reputation, and ethical boundaries in business. Trump emphasizes that one's word should be their bond and that maintaining goodwill is crucial for future opportunities. The discussion also highlights the strategic management of tasks.

Apprentice Lesson #3: "The Art of the Deal: Negotiation is a very, very delicate art. Sometimes you have to be tough. Sometimes you have to be sweet as pie. You never know, it depends on who you're dealing with. I've always said that negotiation is not really learned, it's almost innate, it's in the genes. A negotiator is born." - Donald J. Trump

Season 1

The Art of the Deal - Chapter 4: Prudence Pays (1987)

The Art of the Deal - Chapter 3: Growing Up (1987)

"Perhaps the most important thing I learned at Wharton was not to be overly impressed by academic credentials. It didn't take me long to realize that there was nothing particularly awesome or exceptional about my classmates, and I could compete with them just fine." - Donald J. Trump Fred Trump: #Competence #Efficiency Mary Trump: #Splendor #Magnificence

The Art of the Deal - Chapter 2: Trump Cards - Elements of the Deal - Have Fun (1987)

"Life is very fragile, and success doesn’t change that. If anything, success makes it more fragile. Anything can change, without warning, and that’s why I try not to take any of what’s happened too seriously. Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game." - Donald J. Trump

The Art of the Deal - Chapter 2: Trump Cards - Elements of the Deal - Contain the Costs (1987)

"I believe in spending what you have to. But I also believe in not spending more than you should. [...] the day I can’t pick up the telephone and make a twenty-five-cent call to save $10,000 is the day I’m going to close up shop." - Donald J. Trump

The Art of the Deal - Chapter 2: Trump Cards - Elements of the Deal - Deliver the Goods (1987)

"But that experience also taught me something. Until then, I’d never understood how Jimmy Carter became president. The answer is that as poorly qualified as he was for the job, Jimmy Carter had the nerve, the guts, the balls, to ask for something extraordinary. That ability above all helped him get elected president. But then, of course, the American people caught on pretty quickly that Carter couldn’t do the job, and he lost in a landslide when he ran for reelection. Ronald Reagan is another example. He is so smooth and so effective a performer that he completely won over the American people. Only now, nearly seven years later, are people beginning to question whether there’s anything beneath that smile." - Donald J. Trump

The Art of the Deal - Chapter 2: Trump Cards - Elements of the Deal - Fight Back (1987)

"Much as it pays to emphasize the positive, there are times when the only choice is confrontation." - Donald J. Trump
