The Beverly Hills Hilton is usually bustling with activity during the day, especially during the prestigious Milken Conference. However, in the wee hours of the morning, the hotel is eerily quiet, with only a few dedicated individuals still hard at work.
One of those individuals is a news writer who is preparing to interview Disney’s Hugh Johnston following the release of the company’s earnings. Having known Johnston for many years, the writer is eager to get the conversation started, despite the early hour.
As the writer reflects on the events of the day, a few interesting tidbits come to mind. From revelations about the strained relationship between Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer to speculation about Kevin Hassett potentially becoming the next Fed chief, there is no shortage of intriguing topics to ponder.
Additionally, Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan’s thoughts on college campus protests and Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Yasmin Khorram’s experience at a recent interview with Elon Musk provide further insight into the happenings at the Milken Conference.
Despite the late hour, the writer is excited to kick off day two of the conference’s live coverage, which promises to be just as eventful as the day before. Stay tuned for more updates from the Beverly Hills Hilton as the Milken Conference continues to unfold.
