🐮 Wall Street, Satire, and Corporate Chaos with Amran Gowani (Beyond the Pasture)

Author Amran Gowani joins Rob Jung and Michael David MacBride on Beyond the Pasture for a lively conversation about his debut novel, LEVERAGE, a darkly funny Wall Street satire about ambition, power, money, identity, and the corrupting pull of corporate capitalism. Not only does his book feel particularly timely and engaging, but Amran feels like someone who is comfortable in any room, with any group of people. We immediately picked up the conversation as if we were old friends.

Amran brings a sharp and unusual background to the conversation: former organic chemist, former financial analyst, full-time author, stay-at-home dad, and fearless satirist of the systems that shape contemporary life. In this episode, we talk about how his experiences in Big Pharma and Wall Street helped shape LEVERAGE, how satire can expose uncomfortable truths, and why fiction is such a powerful way to explore politics, culture, capitalism, and survival.

LEVERAGE follows Ali “Al” Jafar, a hedge fund analyst whose career and life spiral after one disastrous investment loss. Facing an impossible ultimatum from his firm’s powerful founder, Al is pulled deeper into the darker side of high finance, where ambition, greed, pressure, and self-worth collide.
