Have you ever wanted to get into the minds of some of the most inspirational dealmakers in the business world? After working at CNBC for almost a decade, I have been lucky enough to talk to some of them on a regular basis. Realizing not everyone has that kind of access, I decided to open up my “trillion dollar” rolodex (it’s called that in my industry since I have a trillion dollar money manager, a dozen billionaires and countless millionaires in it) and ask them to open up and reveal some of their winning strategies on how they view a crisis (particularly the fire sale of Bear Stearns, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the credit crisis) but more importantly *how* and *why* they executed certain strategies.

It’s hard to beat the movie Apollo 13 for drama. Over 200,000 miles from Earth, in the vacuum of space, an explosion disabled a space capsule on its way to the Moon.
The mission was over. And it would have been reasonable to assume the astronauts’ lives were over, too. Yet three days later, the astronauts were standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
