From James: Oh, my God, I'm so excited about this, because Amy Morin she doesn't know it, but she's my therapist. Amy doesn't realize it, but whenever she comes on my podcast or I go on her podcast, it's like I'm going into a therapy session.Of course, you know her as the author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, sold millions of copies. She's been on my podcast five or six times or more, and I'm really happy this episode is her interviewing me from her podcast. And it's me having a therapy session. Here we go!Episode Description:In this episode of Mentally Stronger, Amy Morin engages in a spirited discussion with James about the concept of quests and their transformative potential. They discuss how engaging in a quest, whether it's learning a new skill, exploring a hobby, or pursuing a wild idea, can invigorate life, foster creativity, and build mental strength. They also highlight how quests are journeys of learning, personal growth, and potentially surprising benefits, even if the end goal is not achieved. Additionally, they explore the necessity of shifting and changing quests as needed and the compelling connections between quests and mental strength.Episode Summary:00:00 Introduction to the Concept of Quests01:56 The Importance of Goals and Quests in Mental Strength03:23 The Role of Quests in Personal Growth04:43 Exploring the Concept of Quests with James Altucher05:23 Defining a Quest and its Impact on Life10:32 The Quest of Visiting Every State in the U.S.15:14 The Quest of Interviewing People at 3am19:01 The Quest of Returning to Chess28:25 The Power of Pursuing a Quest28:32 The Role of Passion and Experimentation29:50 Exploring the World of Forged Artworks30:58 The Impact of Quests on Personal Growth31:47 The Challenges and Rewards of Chess Mastery32:14 The Importance of a Positive Mindset33:28 The Value of Safe Practice and Failure33:52 The Joy of Personal Achievement34:10 The Role of a Trainer in Achieving Goals35:17 The Journey of Learning and Improvement37:09 The Intricacies of Pursuing a Quest46:37 The Unexpected Adventure of Buying Greenland53:18 The Therapist's Take on Mental Strength-Building StrategiesEpisode Summary: ------------What do YOU think of the show?

From James: So this is part two of our interview with astrophysicist Brian Keating, but it's completely different from part one. Completely different topics, 100%. What this episode ultimately boiled down to is: When should you give up on something that's important to you? And we also talk about some BS that's been happening in college campuses lately and some things that have been personally hitting both of us. So, here's Brian Keating again. Enjoy!Episode Description:In part two of our interview with astrophysicist and UCSD Professor Brian Keating, the conversation turns away from physics and toward how Brian's visit to Israel at the time of a devastating terrorist attack plays a significant part in defining his year. Brian and James explore the recent tragic events in Israel, the devasting terror, the response of universities like UCSD, and the broader implications on global geopolitics and campus culture. The discussion also touches upon the experiences of Arab Israeli citizens and Brian's reflections on his career, research, and the significant impact of his podcast. Episode Summary:00:00 Introduction and Personal Updates00:11 Reflecting on a Year of Achievements and Challenges00:45 Discussing the Impact of Terrorism in Israel01:14 Analyzing the Response of Universities to Global Events02:51 Debating the Complexities of the Israel-Gaza Conflict04:37 Exploring the Reality of Life in Israel06:31 Confronting Antisemitism and its Impact09:08 Navigating the Challenges of Campus Politics14:40 Reflecting on Career Progress and Future Projects20:15 The Struggles of Podcasting and Advertising21:05 The Purpose and Future of Podcasting21:18 The Power of YouTube and Subscriber Growth22:11 Meeting Influential People in the Industry25:07 The Journey of Chess Mastery27:20 The Struggle of Improvement and the Concept of Age32:46 The Importance of Numbers and the Balance of Fun35:27 The Future Plans and the Art of Writing36:29 The Conclusion and Future Collaborations Reflecting on Success, Challenges, and Pursuits | Part 2   ------------What do YOU think of the show?

From James: For the past 10 years, I have been dying for this guy to write a book. I think I've told him at least once a year, "Write a book already. You have so much interesting knowledge!" I still remember when he first came to my podcast in 2014, he gave me advice. I still do it to this day. And we talk about "The Coffee Challenge", as he calls it. And then he gave me more advice that I'm sure 10 years from now, I'm still going to be doing. So he just came out with Million Dollar Weekend: Noah Kagan. He was like the 12th employee at Facebook and the fourth employee at Mint, and he was fired from both places. He's had an incredible entrepreneurial journey but loves these challenges and experiments.You just got to listen to him talk!Episode Description:Join Noah Kagan, the creator of AppSumo and former employee at Facebook and Mint, in a straightforward talk about transforming fear into action and modest goals into profitable businesses. Drawing on insights from his book 'Million Dollar Weekend,' Kagan will discuss his experiences in starting and growing successful companies. He'll explain the 'coffee challenge' and his approach to the 'dollar challenge,' offering practical advice on developing and testing business ideas, focusing on customer needs, and measuring success by customer profits instead of just invested funds. Kagan will share stories from his diverse background, including playing chess with actor Jamie Foxx, to motivate you to face the fear of rejection and the uncertainty of starting something new. He'll emphasize the importance of consistent hard work, resilience, and learning from failures for entrepreneurial success.Episode Summary:01:38 Introduction02:04 The Long-Awaited Book: Million Dollar Weekend03:52 The Power of Asking: The Coffee Challenge04:45 The Art of Rejection and Negotiation05:46 The Journey of Starting a Business12:57 The Dollar Challenge: A New Perspective on Business15:39 The Importance of Getting Started and Sticking with It32:19 The Story of AppSumo: From Idea to Successful Business34:08 The Power of Software and the Art of Messaging35:08 The Art of Cold Emailing and Building Connections35:31 The Three W's of Business35:50 The Power of Asking and Leveraging Opportunities36:26 The Journey of AppSumo: From a Single Sale to a Million-Dollar Business36:40 The Importance of Validating Business Ideas37:03 The Power of Execution and Overcoming Fear of Failure37:39 The Story of Jake: Turning Dreams into Reality39:34 The Power of Feedback in Business40:34 The Importance of Understanding Your Business Model (1)40:34 The Importance of Understanding Your Market and Business Opportunity (2)43:25 The Power of Networking and Offering Value46:57 The Journey of Jake: Scaling His Golf Trips Business52:39 The Power of Testing and Investing in Business52:45 The Importance of Doubling Down on What Works01:05:01 The Power of Being Resourceful in Entrepreneurship01:07:02 Creating Business Opportunities from Personal Pain Points01:07:19 Exploring Business Ideas through Personal Interests01:08:48 Identifying Business Opportunities through Conversations01:09:33 The Importance of Validating Business Ideas01:09:58 The Journey of Becoming a Better Chess Player01:11:03 The Potential of a Chess Coaching Business01:11:54 The Challenges of Starting a Business01:13:08 The Power of Persistence in Business01:15:05 The Value of Entrepreneurship01:16:11 The Role of Mindset in Business Success01:17:21 The Importance of Asking for Money in Business01:19:07 The Impact of Personal Development on Business Success01:21:20 The Role of Fun in Business01:23:30 The Power of Networking in Business01:25:25 The Importance of Embracing Rejection in Business01:27:31 The Power of Saying 'Yes' in Business01:29:13 The Importance of Being Assertive in Business01:30:36 The Power of Solving Problems in Business01:32:06 The Role of Passion in Business Success01:33:31 The Importance of Persistence in Business01:35:11 The Power of Entrepreneurship01:36:19 The Importance of Taking Risks in Business01:37:35 The Power of Networking in Business ------------What do YOU think of the show?

He draws upon personal experiences and shares inspiring stories of ordinary individuals displaying extraordinary generosity. He also presents a novel concept of forming 'generosity groups', highlighting how collective efforts can enable community development and create a global impact. The conversation also delves into the power of storytelling, the true significance of community, and how we can learn from the generosity showcased in various 'Blue Zones' around the world.Notable Topics: the contagious nature of generosity, shifting trends on the internet towards positivity, the link between generosity and longevity, and the idea of 'group efforts' generating significant community change.Episode Timeline (timestamps may not account for ads):00:00:00 Introduction and Welcoming Chris Anderson00:01:43 Discussing the Impact of TED Talks00:02:50 Exploring the Concept of Infectious Generosity00:03:15 The Connection Between Gratitude and Generosity00:04:59 The Role of Generosity in Happiness00:06:01 The Power of Generosity in Changing One's Perspective00:08:05 Discussing the Fear of Innovation00:09:07 The Need to Take Back the Internet00:11:59 The Shift from Social Networking to Social Media00:12:34 The Power of Generosity in Building Brands00:17:32 The Impact of Generosity on Reputation00:20:50 The Role of Generosity in Viral Content00:23:28 The Potential of Generosity in Changing Internet Culture00:24:09 Exploring Unique Ways to Practice Generosity00:32:02 The Power of Unreported Stories00:32:55 The Virality of Good News00:33:44 The Impact of Negativity00:34:33 Understanding Our Instincts00:34:55 The Influence of Media00:35:27 The Slow Progress of Good Things00:37:07 The Power of Positive Stories00:37:48 The Shift Towards Good News00:38:20 The Challenge of Changing Media Trends00:38:59 The Potential of Positive Media00:40:38 The Impact of Personal Stories00:42:50 The Power of Generosity00:44:54 The Infectious Nature of Generosity00:48:42 The Role of Community in Generosity00:55:39 The Potential of Local Initiatives01:02:13 The Future of Infectious Generosity ------------What do YOU think of the show?

One of the smartest people in history, the author of Losing the Nobel Prize and Think Like a Nobel Prize Winner - and he did almost win the Nobel Prize. Maybe he will one day do it. -  Professor Brian Keating, physicist extraordinaire!We've divided this conversation in two because first, I was really curious about black holes, wormholes, and the beginning of the universe. So we talk about that and he answers some of my questions, which I'm sure some of you might have as well, once you hear them. Next Friday, we have part two on just the weird things he's seen on college campuses lately. We also talk in general about when it is worth giving up on a goal or a life path. Here’s part one, all about the mysteries of the cosmos with Brian Keating!------------Discussion on IQ and Intelligence [00:01:30]: The interview begins with a discussion about the perception of high IQ and its social implications, comparing it to questions on platforms like Quora.History of the Alphabet and Rosetta Stone [00:02:33 - 00:03:59]: They explore the history of the alphabet, particularly its Phoenician and Hebrew origins, and delve into the story and skepticism around the Rosetta Stone.Webb Telescope Discovery and Black Holes [00:03:59 - 00:05:44]: The conversation shifts to a recent Webb Telescope discovery of a massive black hole, discussing its implications for our understanding of the universe and the concept of primordial black holes.Concepts of Space-Time and Black Holes [00:05:44 - 00:08:01]: Keating explains the idealized form of a black hole and the inseparability of space and time in the context of Einstein's theories.Relationship Between Time and Gravity [00:08:01 - 00:12:37]: They discuss the complex relationship between time and gravity, particularly how it is influenced by the presence of massive objects like black holes.Theories of the Universe and Dark Matter [00:12:37 - 00:17:03]: The interview covers various theories about the origin and nature of the universe, including speculations on dark matter and its potential origins.Einstein's Theories and Mercury's Orbit [00:17:03 - 00:29:50]: Keating elaborates on Einstein's contributions to physics, particularly how his theories explained the peculiar behavior of Mercury's orbit.The Ether Theory and Propagation of Light [00:29:50 - 00:35:04]: The discussion turns to the historical ether theory and its role in understanding the propagation of light, leading to Einstein's revolutionary ideas.Wormholes, Black Holes, and Universe Theories [00:35:04 - 00:40:23]: They explore the concepts of wormholes and black holes, discussing various theoretical models about the universe, including multi-dimensional theories.Limits of Light Speed and Einstein's Relativity [00:40:23 - 00:44:19]: Keating and Altucher delve into why the speed of light is a fundamental limit and how Einstein's theory of relativity explains this.Future Research and Discoveries in Cosmology [00:44:19 - End]: The interview concludes with discussions on future research directions in cosmology, including the search for primordial waves of gravity and the oldest signals from the Big Bang.------------What do YOU think of the show?

"How is it possible to bring order out of memory?"This quote begins Beryl Markham's West with the Night, the memoirs of the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic from East to West."I should like to begin at the beginning patiently like a weaver at his loom.

 Jay tricked me... So as you know, Jay Yow is the producer of this podcast.  We were talking casually and he asked me about a lot of different things I've been obsessed with ever since I was a little kid and this "Power of Obsession" has driven my entire life for better and for worse.We're just casually talking about it and then I realized he's recording, so we made an episode about The Power of Obsession... You kind of hear in the beginning, I didn't want to do an episode on it. But, then I realized,  this has been an interesting thing for me, and this aspect, this Power of Obsession, has had an overall very positive effect on my life.So here we go—the Power of Obsession. ------------What do YOU think of the show?

 What a great book! For anyone who's ever been interested, even for a second in the personal development/ inspirational category, this book, Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential by Brian Johnson... You have to visually see this book. It's 451 chapters, a thousand pages. It's almost like a little cube, but it's very fast to read because every chapter is just one or two pages and it's well done.It interweaves all these hundreds of stories and different authors and philosophers into one cohesive strategy for living your best life. The word Arate means, essentially, everyday living the best life. And this book is about how to do it.  There are hundreds of stories and examples.It's also Brian Johnson and his own stories, and we talk about it from various perspectives. In the very beginning, we're talking about how his son is super-interested in chess, which is coincidental to me. So we talk about how he's using Arate with his son, but then we dive into so many different subjects about what it means to activate your heroic potential.One of the funnest podcasts that I've done, I really recommend listening to this one.

 So much happening in crypto last yesterday. There was a flash crash, of Bitcoin when there was rumors that the Bitcoin ETF might not happen. But there's a lot of other news, a lot of other catalysts for big moves in crypto.  I brought on my good friend and super crypto expert, Omid Malekan. Omid is a professor of crypto at Columbia business school.

When my children or good friends have problems and difficulties in life, you would think I would recommend to them my book Choose Yourself, which describes times when I've had hardships and the ways I used to pick myself out of being broke or sick or depressed.But that is not the book I give people. I usually give them The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod, and starting today, I’ll be giving them The Miracle Morning Update and Expanded Edition: The Not So Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life(Before 8 AM) by Hal Elrod. It's the 10th anniversary of the original book, it's an expanded edition. He now includes The Miracle Evening, The Miracle Life, and more!Imagine you wake up one morning, your lung has collapsed, you have cancer, and you're told you're going to die in two or three weeks. Hal Elrod had been doing the Miracle Morning for years when that happened to him, and he shows how it applied during a situation like that. It helped him when he was going broke and losing his house and when he got into a car accident and was declared dead three times on the way to the hospital. It has helped the hundreds of thousands of people who participate in his community and have embraced the ideas in this book and his SAVERS acronym.We talk about it all, and he's one of my favorite people. Here’s Hal Elrod.

“If this idea… the idea of overcoming one fear a day scares you, then keep reading.”I wrote this line three years ago.I was doing a photo challenge. I asked Chase Jarvis, one of the best photographers in the world and the founder of Creative Live, “What should I do?”I wanted to know how to take a good photo.He asked me what I liked.I said, “Sad people.”So he told me to shoot through the lens of “connection.” So I went inside. And looked for my inner compass.I went to eat.Then I saw the man. He was a balding guy in his 60s waiting to be served. He told me he just arrived after a 17-hour trip from Italy. He said, "I am tired."And I shot him.I shot him before my daughter left for college. Before I became a stepdad. Before stand-up comedy. Before Trump. Before #metoo. Before phone addiction (sort of). Before a lot of things.“That photograph is evidence,” Chase said. “It’s evidence that we’re all creative… Wildy.”But not everyone believes that.Because they’ve blocked it for too many years.But you can get it back.Chase explains how in his book, “Creative Calling: Establish a Daily Practice, Infuse Your World with Meaning, and Succeed in Work + Life.”And he explains the DNA of creativity on my podcast. Here’s a list of everything we talk about. Including quotes from Chase and tips on how to start your daily creative process today:I introduce Chase Jarvis, one of the best photographers in the world and founder of Creative Live – [3:35]How Chase helped me hone my creative muscle three years ago – [4:32]“We’re all creative, wildly” – Chase Jarvis – [8:18]The wrong way to think about creativity – [8:48]“When you’re in your purest element of creativity, you’re not judging. You can’t be creative and judging at the same time.” – Chase Jarvis – [10:20]Three key principles of Chase’s book:1. Everyone is creative2. Creativity is not a skill. It’s a habit. It’s a process, not a product.3. Creativity is a muscle. – [13:08]How creating in small ways every day leads to the habit of creativity – [15:29]The myth of creativity: some people are creative and some people aren’t. Chase explains where this myth came from – [16:49]Proof that we are “self-expression machines.” And proof that society makes us scared to be creative – [19:11]I ask Chase about mastery – [21:19]Chase tells us what Creative Live is and what kind of classes they have available for you – [23:56]I ask Chase about fear and self-doubt- [24:51]How to get to know the things you’re supposed to be doing in this world. And how Chase figured this out for himself, too – [25:25]I ask Chase if building a business made him fearful of losing his roots in photography -[27:22]How to know if something is the right path for you – [28:05]Know when to shift directions. How to know if you’re following the flame in your life. Or not – [29:45]Why you’re loved ones don’t support your dreams and want you to do what’s safe…- [30:14]“Now is the riskiest time in human history to do the thing that has always been safe. Because the world is changing so fast. If you don’t have a life and connection and a passion for what you’re doing, you’re going to be isolated. You’re going to be lonely. You’re going to be sick. It’s not safe to do what everybody else wants. The safest thing, in your journey, is to be inexcusable unapologetically you.” – Chase Jarvis – [31:00]We look at how Chase combined two passions and became the best in the world at the intersection of his two passions – [32:22]Why society doesn’t teach us to be creative – [34:01]The power of experimentation – [35:21]I ask Chase how he initially started developing his internal flame and love for photography – [36:00]Why Chase doesn’t give The A-Z steps to find your path… because everyone’s path is different and unique. – [39:40]How a teacher killed Chase’s dreams. And shift led to his identity. – [42:00]How Chase rediscovered his creativity 20 years after his teacher crushed him – [44:00]How to be more in tune with yourself. Chase says how he realized he was denying his creative self – [47:40]How Chase taught himself how to take pictures – [48:20]Tip: learn from virtual mentors – [50:29]Why do you have to document your work and analyze it for improvement? – [52:40]Chase talks about trading food for the ability to learn – [55:00]“Learning gets easy when you’re doing something that resonates internally” – Chase Jarvis – [55:56]When you start anything, you’re going to suck. Embrace this. – [57:03]Measure how much you love something. vs how much you’re frustrated by something. Then use this to know where the flame is for you – [58:24]The importance of having the right community… one where you feel welcome – [1:00:14]How to develop a community around your work – [1:01:18]Article recommendation: “A Thousand True Fans” by Kevin Kelly – [1:01:46]Every path is different. The best time to start a new creative endeavor is 10 years ago. And today – [1:02:28]The advantage and danger of having competition in your community – [1:03:25]The importance of asking yourself, “How does this make me feel?” about a person or community or task, job, creative project, etc. – [1:04:21]Why not paying attention to how people and situations can make you feel leads you down the wrong path – [1:05:12]How to tell who your people are. And who they aren’t. – [1:06:09]Listen to your calling. “It’s not always a trumpet,” Chase said. “It’s a whisper and that whisper is inside of you. And it doesn’t look like a map. Because a map shows you, ‘I’m here and I’m going to follow this path and I’m going to end up here.’ It’s way more a compass. And a compass is just an arrow that gets you in a direction.” – [1:07:15]How Chase dealt with burnout at the peak of his career – [1:08:23]The first photo-sharing app was created by Chase. He said, “That ended up being one of my biggest professional successes and failures at the same time” –  [1:10:18]I ask Chase what mistakes he made in creating his photo-sharing app – [1:11:38]Six critical lessons to learn from Chase – [1:14:30]I ask Chris how someone who’s 40, 50, 60 years old can start to listen to their inner compass when it’s been blocked for so long – [1:15:24]Step 1: call yourself a creative. Math is creative. Science is creative. No matter what you do, somehow you’re creating in small ways – [1:17:08]Chase gives some experiments that you can do to start today – [1:18:42]Why this book resonated with me – [1:21:45]Rejection therapy. Try this to advance in ability faster – [1:22:34]“Being willing to be uncomfortable is a huge opportunity.” – Chase Jarvis – [1:24:42]Proof that “people want to help you when you do crazy shit”- [1:26:46]The one exercise Chase does every morning to make himself get out of his comfort zone – [1:28:22]I thank Chase for coming on the show and breaking down the DNA of creativity. And why his book is the Bible of creativity – [1:29:05]-----------What do YOU think of the show?

James welcomes renowned author Robert Greene back on the show to discuss the intricacies of power, strategy, and human nature, as explored in Greene's bestselling book, "The 48 Laws of Power." The episode kicks off with James sharing his journey to reclaim his old chess ranking, a challenge that's not only about the game but also about rediscovering and harnessing personal strengths and strategies. This journey has inspired James to pen a book, and the conversation naturally flows into the writing process and the lessons learned from such endeavors.The spotlight then turns to the special 25th Anniversary edition of "The 48 Laws of Power." James and Robert discuss the significance of a book's packaging, emphasizing how the design and presentation of a book can frame the story within, creating an immersive experience for the reader. This new edition is not just a repackaging but a celebration of the book's timeless lessons. As they explore the content, Robert explains his unique approach to writing, focusing on the multitude of historical examples and stories that form the backbone of each chapter. He shares his reasoning for not including personal anecdotes in his books, preferring to draw from rich historical contexts.The discussion deepens as they delve into some of the most compelling examples from "The 48 Laws of Power." They explore how figures like Napoleon's chief diplomat, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, navigated the treacherous waters of successive revolutions with astute power plays. The story of Victor Lustig's audacious con of Al Capone, and the tale of the advisor who cunningly manipulated Genghis Khan through his self-interest, are dissected to reveal the intricate workings of power and influence. Throughout, James and Robert unravel the fascinating question of how Robert, at 38 and without direct experience of power, managed to write such a compelling and enduringly popular book, offering listeners a rare glimpse into the mind of a master strategist.-----------What do YOU think of the show?

20 years ago, I used to make a living by statistically analyzing the behavior of stocks.

I bet you always wanted to know how to make a few billion dollars.Well, I wanted to know too, so I read the book “How to Make a Few Billion Dollars” by Brad Jacobs.But, I had questions...Luckily for us, Brad agreed to come on the show!  Brad has founded seven companies―all billion-dollar or multi-billion-dollar corporations―completed approximately 500 M&A transactions, and raised $30 billion of debt and equity capital through private and public offerings, including three IPOs. He began his career at age 23 when he founded Amerex Oil Associates, followed by Hamilton Resources, both privately held. He subsequently created five publicly traded companies―United Waste Systems, United Rentals, XPO, and XPO’s two spin-offs, GXO Logistics and RXO.I asked my questions, some related to making billions of dollars, but also stuff that had completely nothing to do with it. Although...maybe it *does* have something to do with making billions of dollars after all...-----------What do YOU think of the show?

Nick Shaw, an executive coach who has faced the unimaginable sorrow of losing a child, joins James to discuss his profound journey and the insights he shares in his book My Teacher, My Son: Lessons on Life, Loss, and Love. This conversation is not just about coping with grief but about the transformative lessons that can emerge from it. Shaw's reflections offer a poignant look at how personal loss can inform and deepen one's approach to life and work.Shaw's narrative begins with a day that turned from idyllic to tragic, resulting in the loss of his nine-year-old son, William. In the throes of mourning, Shaw experienced a moment of revelation: his son had been his teacher all along, imparting wisdom that would carry him forward. "My Teacher, My Son" is more than Shaw's memoir—it's a guidebook for anyone grappling with the complexities of being present, letting go, and seeking connection in the wake of loss.Throughout the episode, we explore the themes of resilience, the search for meaning, and the ways in which tragedy can illuminate our most significant life lessons.Shaw’s experiences as a father and coach converge, providing unique insights into embracing life's unpredictability with grace and fortitude.

 The Age of Prediction is such a fascinating book! After reading it, I really do think the job people should be preparing for is “data analyst” or “predictor”, because that's going to be used in every single industry, more than prompt engineers or AI coders - because AI is going to write its own code. Being able to understand what data to look at and why and how to make use of it, whether it's the medical industry or sports or stocks or insurance or art, this is going to be such a valuable skill to have, and it's a just beginning field. The creativity there is going to be amazing.The Age of Prediction: Algorithms, AI, and the Shifting Shadows of Risk by Christopher Mason and Igor Tulchinsky is like a guidebook to what's happened, what's going to be happening, and all the different ways people use will prediction technology.Igor has a $7 billion hedge fund, which analyzes millions of pieces of data around the world to predict stocks, whether something will happen tomorrow, or an hour from now, or 10 seconds from now.Christopher Mason is geneticist and computational biologist who has been a Principal Investigator and Co-investigator of many NASA missions and projects. I wanted to know: What is the state of this industry? How much can we really predict? How can we get better at it? What are the limitations? How close are we to manipulating DNA for disease gene removal? Can single-gene editing be done within a living human? We talk about all of that, and then just have a fun time while I pitched different ideas. Enjoy our interview with Igor and Chris, authors of The Age of Prediction.-----------What do YOU think of the show?

Join James in conversation with Bill O'Reilly, exploring the dark and tumultuous period of the Salem Witch Trials as depicted in O'Reilly's newest addition to the "Killing" series, "Killing The Witches." The dialogue plunges into the chaotic world of Salem, where the accusations of young girls led to a horrific chain of events - a somber chapter of American history that saw 20 individuals executed and hundreds jailed based on dubious testimonies.The narrative takes an intriguing twist as a young Benjamin Franklin steps onto the scene. Intrigued by the unfolding hysteria, Franklin's interaction with the notorious witch hunter, Cotton Mather, leads him to a profound realization about the destructive force of unchecked religious fervor. This episode illuminates how the grim events of Salem resonated through the psyche of one of America's founding fathers, potentially influencing the ethos of a budding nation.As James and Bill dissect the intricate details, they venture beyond the surface-level horrors of the witch hunts, diving into the nuanced, unintended consequences that rippled through society and the impressions it left on the minds of key historical figures. Later, the conversation shifts to the present-day news media and political dynamic, which O'Reilly views as a "cancel culture witch hunt" organized as a defense strategy by the progressive far-left.-----------What do YOU think of the show?

Round two with A.J. Jacobs and it's a trip down the democracy lane, but with a twist! A.J. throws a quirky curveball - randomocracy. It's democracy's distant cousin, the one that shows up uninvited but makes the party unforgettable. We dissect it, play around with it, and wonder, could this be a real alternative? A.J., with his Constitution-living lens, breaks down randomocracy's nuts and bolts, and I gotta say, it's tickling the brain. It’s weird, it’s fascinating, and it’s a hearty meal for thought. We're not just thinking outside the box; we're kind of tearing the box apart. And hey, I'm all ears and now I'm handing the mic to you. What do you think about stepping into a randomocracy? Tweet me @JAltucher, share the episode, and let's stir the pot.------------What do YOU think of the show?

3 years ago when Suzanne Somers came on the podcast to discuss her book A New Way to Age, I was blown away by her depth of knowledge and personal results in the field. Suzanne passed away this week, 23 years after her cancer diagnosis. Today, we're re-airing her episode about living a vibrant life._____________Suzanne Somers has sex twice a day.She’s 73.“I’m horniest on the 12th day of the month,” she said. “When there’s a full moon.”“I’ll never look at a full moon the same ever again,” I said.She laughed. And told me why she’s feeling younger… even though she’s getting older. Which she writes about in her new bestselling book, “A New Way to Age: The Most Cutting-Edge Advances in Antiaging.”Some might say “an actress” isn’t qualified to write a scientific book about aging.But that’s stupid. One: she’s human. With human problems that lead her to see real doctors. The best doctors. With cutting-edge formulas to beat aging.She told me, “I’ve beat cancer three times,” she said. And now she plans to live into her hundreds.But with a caveat…“If I’m going to be alive, then I want to be alive. What’s alive? I want to have a sex drive. I want to have nice shiny hair. I don’t want to have unexplained weight gain. I don’t want to have insomnia. I don’t want to have night sweats. I don’t want to have hot flashes. I don’t want to be forgetful.”That’s what this book and this podcast is about. She breaks down:– how to prevent memory loss– how to keep your sex drive even as you age– how to have a good quality of life into your hundreds– how to access the latest age-defying technologyAnd we invited our friend Dr. Dean Mitchell to help back up her research.And give us the science we need to be just as horny.Full moon.

When you think of someone in the inner circle of billionaires and political giants, you don't usually imagine them whistling Duke Ellington tunes in corporate meeting rooms. Chris Ullman defies that stereotype; a virtuoso whistler, he has performed in venues as diverse as the Oval Office and the top of the Washington Monument. Join James Altucher in part one of this extraordinary interview as they delve into Chris's passion for whistling, which he explored in his book "Find Your Whistle."From a young age of 13, Chris committed himself to whistling. He credits his father for the initial inspiration, but becoming a champion took hard work and unique sacrifices—like abstaining from kissing 24 hours before a performance. Chris and James discuss the perception of whistling as a "novelty," contrasting it with other forms of art and sports. Yet, Chris believes that whistling is the great equalizer; it's a universal joy that resonates with everyone from grandparents to billionaire bosses. In fact, this underestimated art has brought Chris "more joy than he could have ever imagined."This conversation sets the stage for part two, where James and Chris will discuss Chris's latest book, "Four Billionaires and a Parking Attendant." But for now, enjoy this deep dive into an art form that's both ancient and modern, simple and intricate, and understand how Chris Ullman has built a life around spreading joy and inspiring others to find their own "whistle."-----------What do YOU think of the show?

Is it important to leave a legacy? Should your life's mission revolve around creating something that outlasts you? Episode #6 of "Ask Altucher" grapples with these questions as Jay and James offer contrasting perspectives. Jay strongly believes that leaving a legacy should be a driving force in life. James counters with a cautionary note, arguing that the pursuit of a legacy beyond your immediate family can lead to discontentment, as you'll never experience the benefits after you pass away.The conversation takes an even deeper turn when James raises the concern about one legacy he would NOT want to leave: death by suicide and the collateral emotional damage inflicted upon family and friends. This poignant moment adds another layer to an already complex debate, making listeners ponder the legacies they are consciously or unconsciously leaving behind.But the duo doesn't stop there. Jay ups the ante by introducing two philosophical dilemmas that challenge conventional thinking: "Would you choose immediate suicide to save the planet?" and "Given the choice only for immediate death or immortality, which would you pick?" These thought-provoking questions elevate the episode from a simple discussion on legacy to a broader contemplation of life, death, and the ethical considerations in between.Whether you've contemplated your own legacy or never given it a second thought, this episode offers a compelling dive into what it means to leave something behind, the cost of doing so, and the moral complexities that come with it. A must-listen for anyone pondering the bigger questions of life.------------What do YOU think of the show?

Chris Tucker is a former air traffic controller who was working in New York City on 9/11. Tucker spent the whole day trying to keep the passengers of two hijacked planes safe. This episode is his story. It's heroic, and it saved lives. But as Chris says, "I was just doing my job."Episode Notes:I welcome Chris Tucker on the show. The reason I had him on is because I heard him speak at an event. And it was riveting. Chris spoke about his personal experience trying to keep the passengers of two hijacked planes safe – [2:55]I tell Chris my experience that morning. I was a hedge fund manager. It was one of the most beautiful days in New York City. I saw the plane. And my business partner thought it was the president. The plane flew over us. Everyone ducked. It was so loud. And so fast. And we watched the plane go right into the building – [4:06]Chris says why he became an air traffic controller – [6:56]Why New York City is too stressful to live in – [8:02]How Chris’ solo sailboat trip gave him clarity. And helped him see what he wanted to do with his life. He said, “The nice thing about being in the middle of the ocean with no one else around you is that you can find some clarity that for some bizarre reason is not attainable when you’re in the normal world.” – [8:57]I ask “How long does it take to get a pilot’s license?” He breaks down the process. – [9:54]“Flying is, in general, very safe, but that having been said, airplanes can find ways to kill you that you can’t even dream of.” – [12:18]Chris’ scariest moment aboard a plane. He says it was very similar to what happened to JFK Jr. – [12:32]How Chris transitioned from pilot to air traffic controller – [16:37]I ask Chris, “How close can two jets get before they start to affect each other?” – [19:33]Chris gives an example of how two aircraft accidentally impacted each other. And caused turbulence. “That aircraft had to make an emergency landing. But that’s extremely rare,” he said. [22:13]Chris Tucker’s training: he does 3 months and is in the top 40%. He moves to New York and starts apprenticing. It took 3 and a half years to become fully certified. “And the very first day was terrifying.” – [22:45]Chris gives some background information. This helps set the setting for September 11. So we can understand what makes being an air traffic controller so stressful – [23:40]How private jets and small planes impact regular planes – [26:33]Why there’s a 0% chance I’ll get a pilot’s license… Chris tells a story about a time he almost crashed directly into another plane – [29:20]In 1981, Ronald Reagan fired 11,345 air traffic controllers who had a union strike. I ask Chris, “Why did he think he could do that? And why did we survive that?” – [32:06]Chris Tucker starts to tell us about his day on September 11, 2001 – [33:58]Chris was working departures out of JFK airport. And he explains the structure he has to follow to make sure arrivals and departures don’t conflict with each other – [34:45]“I had a lot of work to do,” Chris says as he explains the number of planes he has to vector before ever learning about the hijacked planes – [37:20]The moment Chris finds out there’s a hijacked plane… – [39:13]Everyone was experiencing denial. Chris explains why they didn’t believe there was a real hijack at first… and how that changed – [40:00]The controllers in Boston could hear the hijackers making announcements to the passengers – [41:12]Things change… the hijackers turn off their transponder. “Now we can’t see the altitude the aircraft is broadcasting.” – [43:01]I ask if the military could have intervened in any way. – [45:03]“One of the flight attendants on board called American Airlines and told them that the aircraft had been hijacked and that they had murdered the pilots.” – [46:23]Chris says what they thought the hijackers were going to do… and why they didn’t think a crash was possible – [47:03]Chris calls the military – [47:47]“Every eye in the room is staring at this target…” But they still had other planes to watch. And they did. “It’s part of the job,” Chris said, “…this division of attention.” – [49:20]“In the beginning, it’s like the fog of war. It’s unsettling. It’s disconcerting. Everybody’s not feeling right. And we weren’t trained to project what might happen in the future and what we can do about it. Air traffic controllers keep airplanes apart from one another. And apart from the ground. That’s our job.” – Chris Tucker – [49:49]How Chris learned the North Tower of the World Trade Center was on fire. – [53:01]Chris describes the tension in the room – [54:45]The moment Chris started praying – [1:00:27]How Chris stopped two planes that were 8 miles apart from colliding – [1:00:46]The radar updates every 12 seconds. Chris and his colleagues watch the two hijacked planes on the screen. And debate whether they’re going to land… or if they’re going to crash – [1:07:50]After the planes crashed… Chris screamed at the radar. They didn’t know what to do next. “But at the same time, I had work to do,” Chris said. Because there were other planes in the air that needed to land – [1:09:11]Chris explains the devastating emotional effects crashes have on air traffic controllers – [1:10:30]A few minutes after they watched the plane crash on the radar, Chris and his colleagues discovered it crashed into the World Trade Center. – [1:11:35]We discuss the military’s involvement. And why there was nothing they could do – [1:13:31]The horrifying alternative realities Chris has had to face… – [1:15:21]Chris says how connecting with a particular passenger helped him avoid suffering PTSD – [1:18:53]Chris decided to see a psychiatrist. He said, “I wasn’t suffering too bad… But nobody in the country, let alone New Yorkers, could get those images out of their head that day, the next day, the next week, the next month.” – [1:20:30]Chris gets an invite from the FFA to meet with the Critical Incidents Stress Management Team. – [1:22:12]I ask Chris, “What are the odds that this can happen again?” [1:25:23]How the airline industry has changed – [1:26:57]What measures of airport security are effective vs. just reactive? – [1:30:39]I thank Chris for everything he did on September 11. And we talk about what he’s up to now – [1:33:37]Chris talks about some of the new technology air traffic controllers are using – [1:35:39]We end on a light note. You’ll hear me ask two naive questions that get Chris laughing – [1:37:19]------------What do YOU think of the show?

Step into the world of the 1987-88 NBA season with author Rich Cohen as he discusses his new book, "When the Game Was War: The NBA's Greatest Season," with James. In this seminal season, Hall of Famers spanned the entire history of the league, from Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who played with players that existed before the NBA, to young talents like Reggie Miller and Scotty Pippen. It was also the time when Cohen fell in love with pro basketball, ignited by game six of the 1988 NBA Finals. The Detroit Pistons were on the brink of closing out the Lakers and making history, but Isaiah Thomas had other plans. Despite rolling his ankle, he delivered a performance for the ages, scoring an incredible 25 points in the third quarter alone—a playoff record that still stands.The core of the book narrows down to four games that encapsulated the era's four dynasties—Magic Johnson’s Los Angeles Lakers, Larry Bird’s Boston Celtics, Isiah Thomas’ Detroit Pistons, and Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls. These teams went to "war" with each other, their skirmishes defining the era. By the time you get to the fourth game in the book, Cohen promises you'll know every player on the floor. This episode offers a deep dive into the emotional gravity of the season that connected fans like never before.Whether you're an ardent NBA follower or a casual fan, this episode with Rich Cohen is a must-listen. It will evoke nostalgia, inspire you with stories of perseverance and skill, and offer a masterclass on the art of storytelling and sports history.------------What do YOU think of the show?

Welcome back to "Hooked on the First Line," where James and master storyteller Cal Fussman dig deep into what makes the opening lines of novels so captivating. Today's focal point is the notoriously controversial but beautifully penned 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. "Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta." These opening lines are as alluring as they are unsettling, a fitting introduction to Nabokov's tale.The episode doesn't stop at 'Lolita'; it branches out into the first lines of Nabokov's 'Ada' and 'Laughter in the Dark,' showing that the author's skill in gripping the reader is not a one-off but a recurring theme in his work. James and Cal talk about the stylistic elements, the melody in the words, and the ethical conundrums posed right from the first sentence. How do these lines affect our perception of the characters and the unfolding story? And how does Nabokov manage to lure us into complex emotional landscapes with just a few words? Discover the craftsmanship behind some of literature's most iconic opening lines.------------What do YOU think of the show?

Before he could legally drink, Ian Bick was already in the thick of the nightclub scene, not as a patron, but as the owner of Tuxedo Junction in Connecticut. Drawing from the excitement of youthful partying, Bick's events were anything but your typical high school get-togethers. But when the glitz started to fade, and the revenue wasn't flowing as he'd imagined, desperation knocked on his door. Instead of seeking advice or potentially shutting down, Bick veered down a dangerous path, one that entangled him in a web of deceit, old debts, and new investors. On this episode of the James Altucher Show, hear from Ian Bick himself – how youthful ambition can quickly take a wrong turn, and how a teenager found himself running a $500,000 Ponzi Scheme. From the highs of Tuxedo Junction to the lows of a prison cell, Bick's tale is a cautionary one, now featured on HBO Max's "Generation Hustle."Listen to Ian's Podcast: Locked In with Ian Bick | Podcast on SpotifyVisit Ian's Website: Ian Bick------------What do YOU think of the show?

Join us as we delve into the captivating world of Wall Street's most unexpected profits. In this episode, we interview Scott Patterson, acclaimed Wall Street Journal reporter and author of the fascinating book, Chaos Kings: How Traders Make Billions in the New Age of Crisis.Drawing upon his extensive research and insider knowledge, Scott reveals the secrets of how traders manage to transform unprecedented events, such as the 'Black Swan' and  'Dragon King' phenomena into extraordinary profit-making opportunities.One faction, led by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, bestselling author of The Black Swan, believes humans can never see the big disaster coming. In their view, while inevitable, extreme events—so-called Black Swans—will always catch us by surprise. In 2007, Taleb’s longtime collaborator, Mark Spitznagel, launched the Universa hedge fund, which would make billions protecting investors against unforeseen chaos in the market.A second faction, which relies on complex formulas, believes looming chaos can be detected. Chief among these risk prognosticators is Didier Sornette, a colorful French mathematician who enjoys riding his motorcycle at speeds over 170 miles per hour. When Sornette looks out from what he calls his Financial Crisis Observatory in Zurich, Switzerland, what he sees are "Dragon Kings"—punishing events that are unlikely to occur but have probabilities that can be predicted…and defended against.Patterson reveals the intricate strategies employed by these traders, who possess an uncanny ability to navigate and capitalize on market upheavals. From analyzing the impact of unforeseen events to the psychology of risk-taking, he and James shed light on the inner workings of betting on high-stakes world events.Throughout the interview, we explore the thrilling stories and characters that make up the fabric of Wall Street's most profitable moments. Scott Patterson's journalistic expertise and intimate understanding of the financial landscape give listeners a unique perspective on the elusive world of traders who have mastered the art of profiting from chaos.-----------What to write and publish a book in 30 days?

In April 2023, a seismic shift occurred in the world of art and creativity. The prestigious Sony World Photography Awards, renowned for celebrating human talent and vision, awarded a prize to an AI-generated photograph. This groundbreaking moment marked a turning point, showcasing the capabilities of generative AI in producing art that could rival human creations. It left many questioning the boundaries between human and machine creativity.Simultaneously, another event unfolded. A new single, seemingly performed by beloved artists Drake and The Weeknd, took the internet by storm, captivating fans across the globe. However, as the excitement reached its peak, the truth emerged—it was an AI creation, flawlessly imitating the artists' musical styles and voices. This incident exposed the potential for AI to deceive and manipulate, blurring the lines between authenticity and imitation.This era of generative AI has ushered in a new paradigm, where not only are judges and fans being fooled, but malicious actors are exploiting the technology for personal gain. Voice cloning, powered by AI, has become a tool for scammers to steal personal information and deceive unsuspecting victims out of their money. The implications are far-reaching, challenging notions of trust and raising concerns about privacy and security in an increasingly AI-driven world.Amidst these pivotal developments, the esteemed musician and technology enthusiast, Vernon Reid, enters the stage. Known as one of Rolling Stone's '100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,' Reid brings a unique perspective to the conversation. With his vast experience and passion for technology, he joins James in a discussion that delves into the evolving creative process and the profound implications of Large Language Models (LLMs) in shaping today's culture.Together, they navigate the complex landscape of AI's impact on creativity, touching upon questions surrounding artistic authenticity, the role of human intuition in the creative process, and the ethical considerations raised by the potential misuse of AI. Reid's insights shed light on the opportunities and challenges presented by LLMs, and their profound implications for the future of art, music, and human expression.To book this guest, contact Cricket PR: 212-363-0654------------What to write and publish a book in 30 days?

What does it sound like when you change your mind?That’s the name of the book Seth Godin was about to publish when James interviewed him. He only printed 5,500 copies. And he’s not printing anymore.He doesn’t view a book as just pages surrounded by two covers. He makes a 3-dimensional object that’s beautiful to look at and read.“It’s not new,” he said on my podcast. “It’s the best of the last four years of my work. And it’s illustrated with hundreds of photos by Thomas Hawk, who’s the most prolific and talented internet photographer.”The book weighs 18 pounds. And it’s 800 pages long.I asked him about art and marketing… and he told me about life.A) START FROM THE BEGINNING“No business, no project, no novel ever started big,” Seth said.It started with fear, uncertainty, excitement, possibility. Tons of “what if’s” that lead to real action. And real action halts the what if’s. The "what if’s" turn to "what is".Seth said, “Instead of saying, ‘I need to leap to the middle,’ say, ‘I’m going to start with people who want to engage with me.'”All successes start with one person. That’s it. One person, then two, then three.Success is a curve. We all know it. Don’t try to cheat the curve.B) KNOW YOUR WORLDI asked Seth, “How do you know what the world wants to hear?”“Well, first of all, never the whole world,” he said. “You pick your world.”Where do you hurt? Where do you feel a knot? Can you loosen it up and ease the pressure?Can you create something for the people (or person) who want to love what you want to love?C) WHAT DO YOU CARE ENOUGH TO SAY?We talked about Facebook. And the Lays Potato Chip guy who re-designed the bag. His job was to make it sound crunchier.Kids had slamming competitions. Who could slam a soda the fastest? So Coke-A-Cola created a bottle with a mouthpiece meant to maximize chugging efficiency.They sold products. But it’s the message that matters.I always say: message over money.Invention happens at the edges. Between heart and lungs, breath and vocal cords is the message. It’s the thing you want to say. The thing you’re afraid to say.“What really matters isn’t what time you posted on Facebook,” Seth said. “What matters is, what did you care enough to say?D) ANYONE CAN LEAD…“’Purple Cow‘ says, ‘How do I sit in my office and make a thing that people talk about?'”“What ‘Tribes‘ says is ‘Now that anyone can stand up and lead (because anyone can have a media channel… because anyone can make a connection) will you choose to lead? And if you’re going to lead, who will you lead? How will you connect with the people you’re leading? That is marketing, but it’s also life.”E) CULTURE BEATS EVERYTHING“No one has a Suzuki tattoo,” Seth said.“What’s a Suzuki tattoo?” I asked.Then I got it. Harley Davidson makes half their revenue licensing its brand. T-shirts, jackets, etc.“If you’re in the Harley tribe, you can’t show up on a Suzuki,” he said.“Tribes aren’t about the alpha to the omega. Leaders always go away. The alpha person dies or moves on. But the tribe doesn’t. The tribe persists. Because culture beats everything. Scenes have a culture. Tribes have a culture. It’s the culture that determines how an organization makes its choices, how a nation will evolve.”I’ve said this before. It doesn’t matter who the president is. What matters is who you surround yourself with. Who’s in your tribe? Who’s in your heart?And if they’re toxic to your creativity or well-being, detox now.“The Beatles didn’t invent teenagers. I’m not saying we invent our tribe. We just show up to lead them.”I didn’t invent the choose yourself community. The cubicle job did.F) SHOW UPI’ll never say what other people should do. I just say what I like to do. I say what gets me past just getting by.“Half my blog posts are below average,” Seth said.I asked if he feels bad.Intellectually, I understand failure. But it still hurts. It can turn your life upside down. I lost everything more than once. And maybe you’re reading this because you have to… or you’re afraid of losing everything.“I’m talking about [creating] generous work with good intent… that didn’t work.” That’s the failure we need to show up for.“I show up,” Seth said.G) DON’T WRESTLE WITH INFINITYI didn’t know what that meant.“I am almost done wrestling with infinity,” he said.We had half an hour left in the interview. I didn’t interrupt.I couldn’t.I was captivated. My mind expands when I’m seconds away from hearing someone’s genius. My vision slows and the inside of my ears soften. It’s like my body is creating room.“I made the book I wanted.”“I only printed 5,500 copies of the book. And there’s not going to be a second printing. That’s all there is.”He doesn’t have to chase. He already broke even and the best part is he chose himself.“Now there’s not an infinity of upside.”He didn’t need approval from publishers, his boss, a network… He didn’t write for a bestseller list. He was compelled. And he created.He made what he wanted to make.  “Here’s my definition of art,” he said. “Art is when a human being does something that might not work…”And my whole body nodded.He went on… changing my mind.Links and Resources:Seth’s upcoming book “What Does It Sound Like When You Change Your Mind?”Read Seth’s books:The New York Times, BusinessWeek, and Wall Street Journal bestseller, “Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us“A New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller, “The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick)“A New York Times bestseller, “Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?““Purple Cow, Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable““All Marketers are Liars: The Underground Classic That Explains How Marketing Really Works–and Why Authenticity Is the Best Marketing of All““Permission Marketing: Turning Strangers into Friends and Friends into Customers“Join Seth’s newsletter and get his latest blog posts at SethGodin.comSeth’s “alt MBA” courseFollow Seth on Facebook + TwitterAlso by Seth Godin:The Icarus Deception““Poke the Box““We Are All Weird““Whatcha Gonna Do with That Duck?““V Is for Vulnerable““Meatball Sundae““Free Prize Inside““Unleashing The Ideavirus““Small Is The New Big““Survival Is Not Enough““The Big Red Fez“Also Mentioned:Thomas Hawk Photography ------------What to write and publish a book in 30 days?

Exponential Organizations 2.0, by Peter Diamandis & Salim Ismail, is a new book - and a new book format - that offers valuable insights into how companies can achieve exponential growth and impact by leveraging the latest technologies. You can now talk directly with the book that generated $1B for Procter & Gamble using OpenExO's chatbot, AI-X. You can register for free for the Exponential Organizations 2.0 Launch Event on June 6th, 2023 at 8 am PST, which will give you access to this new book as well as the ability to watch a 3-hour webinar discussing specifics of these topics with the book's authors.In today's episode, Peter and Salim discuss the billion-dollar businesses of the next decade, focusing on the 11  attributes of ExOs laid out in the book. Not all ExOs exhibit all 11 attributes, but they all incorporate many of them.The first 10 attributes of an Exponential Organization can be divided into “outward facing” and “internally facing” traits. The first five, encapsulated by the acronym SCALE, are outward-facing attributes, and the second five, encapsulated by the acronym IDEAS, are internally-facing attributes.SCALE attributes:Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP)Staff on DemandCommunity and CrowdAlgorithms and AILeveraged AssetsIDEAS attributes:InterfacesDashboardsExperimentationAutonomySocial TechnologiesFor example, a company like Uber uses a gig economy platform to hire external workers on a per-project basis (Staff on Demand) and leverages social media to engage with and learn from a community of like-minded individuals (Community and Crowd), exhibiting SCALE attributes. Meanwhile, a company that encourages experimentation in all departments of the organization and allows individual employees or teams to operate independently and effectively (Autonomy), exhibits an IDEAS attribute.In addition to these, the eleventh attribute is a culture of experimentation. This attribute refers to the importance of constantly testing new ideas and approaches in order to stay ahead of the competition and discover new opportunities for growth. For example, Google’s “20% time” policy allows employees to spend 20% of their time working on their own projects, which led to the creation of innovative products like Gmail and Google Maps.This book is a must-read for anyone looking to future-proof their organization and this interview will convince you why.After you listen, remember to register for free for the Exponential Organizations 2.0 Launch Event being held June 8th, 2023 at 8 am PST!------------What to write and publish a book in 30 days?

Why do we use money? How did we get to the point where billions of US dollars can be created by the Federal Reserve with the click of a button for bills that are never printed and have no relation to the finite assets those dollars used to be pegged against? Are cryptocurrencies and the digital blockchain the next evolution of worldwide finance?The answer - according to Omid Malekan - is trust, and on today's episode of Ask Altucher, he and James take this conversation back thousands of years to the beginning of 'commodity money' and walk through its evolution to the present day.Omid has been studying the relationship between trust and money for decades, working as a stockbroker, lead cryptocurrency consultant for Citi Group, professor at Columbia Business School, and author of  several books, including Re-Architecting Trust: the Curse of History and the Crypto Cure for Money, Markets and Platforms as well as The Story of the Blockchain: A Beginner’s Guide to the Technology That Nobody Understands.If you ever wanted to understand how and why the worldwide financial system operates, Omid explains it all in explicit yet accessible detail. Even seasoned financial professionals will take new nuggets of information away from this conversation.------------What to write and publish a book in 30 days?

James sits down with renowned author and psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy to discuss Dr. Hardy's highly anticipated book, 10x Is Easier than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less, the third book he's co-authored with the accomplished entrepreneur and coach, Dan Sullivan.The conversation began with Altucher delving into the title of the book, intrigued by the idea that achieving ten times more success might be easier than merely doubling one's productivity. Benjamin emphasizes that their book challenges the widely held belief that more effort and hard work are the only paths to success. Instead, Dr. Hardy and Sullivan propose a unique approach that emphasizes simplification, focus, and leveraging one's unique abilities. By narrowing their focus, world-class entrepreneurs can strategically delegate or eliminate non-essential tasks, thereby creating more time and energy for high-impact endeavors.The conversation delved into specific strategies discussed in the book, such as creating a vivid vision for the future, setting non-negotiable boundaries to protect one's time and energy, and harnessing the power of accountability through strategic partnerships or mentorship. Dr. Hardy and Sullivan's collaborative work provide a comprehensive roadmap for entrepreneurs looking to maximize their impact while experiencing more fulfillment and balance in their lives.With the right mindset, deliberate focus, and a commitment to doing less but better, entrepreneurs can unlock unprecedented levels of success and fulfillment.------------What do YOU think of the show?

"Small mistakes can have big consequences."When Hasard Lee was learning to dogfight in the F-16 fighter jet, he made a minor error while maneuvering the plane vertically and his airspeed dropped to 0. With afterburners fully engaged - sending a 30 ft flame from the back of the plane - he and the $70m jet were going backward. The nose of the plane suddenly snapped downward, and - at negative 2.4 G's - he's being pulled upward with over 500 pounds of force. With alarms blaring, he's heading into an out-of-control spin toward the Earth. 5 seconds before impact, Lee was able to stabilize the craft and regain airspeed. Based on years of experience making high-stakes, split-second decisions as a fighter pilot and later awarded 'Top Instructor Pilot of the Year' for the Air Force's largest F-16 Combat Wing, Hasard has spent the last six years cementing his knowledge in the new book The Art of Clear Thinking, which teaches readers to make clear decisions in their everyday life.Lee has also amassed a YouTube following that's watched over 10 million times each month and a 290 million person reach across social media in just two years.In today's conversation, James and Hasard pivot between death-defying stories and the principles that help make rational clear-headed decisions to avoid disaster and succeed.Buy The Art of Clear Thinking here from your favorite retailer!Check out  Hasard's WebsiteWatch Hasard's YouTube channel, (10+ million views every month!)------------What do YOU think of the show?

Kennedy Jr. joined James for an interview at Stand Up New York, where the pair discussed RFK Jr's book American Values: Lessons I Learned from My Family amidst a wide-ranging conversation on the Kennedy Family, the role money plays in American politics, and the cost of fossil fuel-based energy compared to renewable energy sources. Around the 50-minute mark in the conversation, the topic pivots, following a discussion on the post-WW2 tax rates and the rise of billionaires such as Bill Gates. James questions Kennedy's view on Gates - given the Microsoft founder's pledge to donate large sums of money to charity and his vaccine efforts to eradicate malaria in Africa - to which Kennedy responds, "Bill Gates has done more harm to the planet than arguably anybody in history." Kennedy believes that many vaccines are ineffective and harmful to the populace and that Gates' efforts in Africa have caused the deaths of "millions and millions of children".Kennedy continues to discuss The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986, which limited the potential financial liability of vaccine manufacturers due to vaccine injury claims, and how three years later, "There was a 'gold rush' and it went from the three vaccines that [Kennedy] had, to the seventy-two vaccines kids have to get today. And suddenly, beginning in 1989, [America] saw this explosion of chronic disease in this country."Following the divisive turn in the conversation, the show decided against airing this interview. However, on April 6, 2023, Kennedy announced his plans to run for President in the 2024 election and will formally declare his candidacy at an event on April 19, 2023. Due to its topical relevance, The James Altucher Show has decided to air the previously unreleased 2019 interview in full.------------What do YOU think of the show?

In today's episode, James invites Case Kenny, a mindfulness mentor and the host of the "New Mindset, Who Dis?" podcast, to explore the topic of the "law of attraction" and whether it is a legitimate concept or just pseudoscience.

They discuss the power of journaling or self-storytelling as a tool for introspection and self-discovery, and how this practice can help people to better understand themselves and their goals. Additionally, they explore the importance of taking pride in your work, and how this mindset can lead to a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment.Finally, the pair discuss Case's series of journals, used by a community of over 300,000, including The 60 Day New Mindset Journal, Single is Your Superpower, Unbothered, and But First, Inner Peace.------------What do YOU think of the show?

Bryan Johnson has been many things in his life, but the founder of Braintree Venmo's current passion is being - in his parlance - a "Professional Rejuvenation Athlete". Over the past two years, Bryan developed Project Blueprint, a comprehensive health regimen designed to reverse the aging process and increase longevity. After struggling with unhealthy eating habits, Johnson "fired himself" and dedicated his time to researching and experimenting with different health and wellness techniques. He used data-driven approaches to optimize his diet, exercise, and other lifestyle habits, with the goal of improving his overall health and extending his lifespan.In his first year of following Project Blueprint, Johnson achieved remarkable results, reducing his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in just seven months. This amounts to an average age reversal of .73 years per month, a significant accomplishment in the field of anti-aging research.One of the unique aspects of Johnson's approach is his gamification of the age-reversal process. He created The Rejuvenation Olympics, an online leaderboard open to the public designed to motivate himself and others to stay on track with their age reversal goals and to have a public forum to share protocols and validated results for age rejuvenation. This approach helps turn the often daunting task of improving one's health into a fun and engaging game.Johnson also employs a problem-solving approach he calls Zeroth Principle Thinking, which involves breaking down complex problems into their most fundamental components and solving them systematically. This approach helped him create his Goal Alignment Problem, which involves aligning his daily actions and habits with his long-term health goals.One notable aspect of Project Blueprint is that it's available to anyone, free of charge. Johnson has made the information and tools he's developed publicly accessible, with the hope of helping as many people as possible achieve better health and a longer lifespan.Overall, Bryan Johnson's Project Blueprint represents an innovative and data-driven approach to health and longevity, with potential implications for the broader field of anti-aging research.------------What do YOU think of the show?

In this episode of the James Altucher Show, James sits down with Tim Urban, author of the popular blog "Wait But Why" to discuss his latest book What's Our Problem? A Self-Help Book for Societies.Tim Urban is known for his ability to explain complex topics in a relatable way, and this interview is no exception. James and Tim explore a variety of societal issues, including the increasing polarization of American society in the past decade. They delve into the reasons behind this polarization, including the concept of societal echo chambers versus idea labs.One of the key insights that Tim shares from his book is that there are two games being played in the socio-political world. The first game, which Tim calls "Political Disney World", is the game that both the left and the right are playing with each other. In this game, each side views themselves as heroes and the opposition as villains, with no middle ground. The second game, which is the unspoken nuance that many individuals silently agree with but are scared to voice their opinions for fear of being expelled from their spoken tribe, is what Tim calls "Game 2".Tim emphasizes the need for players of "Game 2" on both sides of the political spectrum to push back against "Game 1" because the current state of affairs is actually harmful to effectively promoting the ideals of either in the present.James and Tim also touch upon the concept of an idea spectrum, which gravitates between thinking like a scientist on one pole, a sports fan in the middle, and a zealot at the other pole. They discuss how individuals can move away from a zealot mindset and towards a more scientific mindset, which involves seeking out new information and being open to changing one's beliefs based on that new information.Throughout the conversation, Tim shares practical solutions for creating a more cohesive and harmonious society, emphasizing the importance of empathy and communication in solving societal issues.Listen on for a fresh perspective on the challenges we face as a society and actionable solutions for creating a better future. Buy What's Our Problem?

The US financial system has been going through a period of uncertainty, with various factors contributing to this state of affairs. One major issue that has been in the news recently is the occurrence of bank runs and mid-size bank insolvencies. These events have caused concerns about the stability of the banking sector and the broader financial system.Another factor that has contributed to the current uncertainty is the massive fluctuation of cryptocurrencies. The prices of popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have seen significant fluctuations, with prices soaring to record highs at times and plummeting to new lows at others. This volatility has raised questions about the role of cryptocurrencies in the financial system and their potential impact on traditional banking and finance.In addition to these domestic issues, there is also growing concern about China's increasing influence as an international deal broker. As China's economy continues to grow and expand, it is seeking to play a greater role in global finance and trade. This has led to some anxiety about the future of US financial dominance and the potential for China to become a major player in the international financial system.To shed light on these issues, James and his guest, Cal Fussman, are joined by resident financial expert Omid Malekan. Together, they discuss the root causes of the current uncertainty, the issues that are worth worrying over, and what the future may hold for the American financial system. By examining these issues in depth, they hope to provide insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the US financial system in the years ahead.------------Read Omid's book: Re-Architecting Trust: The Curse of History and the Crypto Cure for Money, Markets, and Platforms------------What do YOU think of the show?

“You have the ideal life,” I said. “You think about things. And people pay attention. And you get paid for it.” I was talking to Jordan B. Peterson. His YouTube channel has tens of millions of views. He’s a clinical psychologist, professor, and author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, and now a guest on this podcast.People stop him on the street. They say “Thank you.” They say, “You’ve changed my life.”“What did you say that helped their life?” I asked.But I already knew the answer…Because it’s true for me too.He told them what they were ready to hear. That’s it. And they acted. Sometimes people thank me. And I tell them “You did it.” Then we take a picture and I feel happy.I asked Jordan about his “12 rules for life.”“I tried to lay out the phenomenal logical landscape of humanity in this book,” Jordan said.I interrupted.“What’s phenomenal logical?”“It’s life as experienced. Ya know, you think, ‘What’s reality?’ Well, there’s material reality, but that isn’t the reality you live. You live a reality that’s full of emotions and motivations and personal experiences. That’s your reality.”I stayed silent. I was collecting.“But what’s the structure of that reality? What’s the fundamental structure of the human-lived reality?” he said. “Part of it is suffering because we’re finite and limited. But it’s suffering that’s tainted with malevolence because some of that suffering is unnecessary. You cause it, society causes it. It doesn’t have to happen. That’s the world we live in. It’s hard and it’s cruel.”Then he said, “You’re stuck with that. That’s the bottom line. So how are you going to deal with it?”I think that’s the basis of how we live. The answer to that question “how are you going to deal with it?” With losing money, hating your job, getting fired. That’s the act. The response is life.He gave me a lot of steps (for dealing with cruelty and suffering). I’ll give you some in a minute. But you should also listen to him on the podcast because he gives so much more in that one hour than I could ever collect on this page.STEP 1 – Get in touch with your dissatisfaction.STEP 2 – Take stock of your life (what can you do differently? What are the small steps? Don’t actually take them (yet). Just start by learning what you don’t like and what you do like in your life right now). Do that for a week.Those steps continue. But he also said this:“You have to choose your pathway of suffering. That’s one way of thinking about it. You can choose the suffering that’s associated with deceit, arrogance, resentment, bitterness or you can choose the suffering that’s associated with truth. The suffering that’s associated with truth transcends. It starts to make things better. Deceit makes life worse. And truth makes it better. ”I needed examples—dozens of them.I just kept throwing life problems at Jordan to see what he’d say. He told me how he solves conflicts with his wife. And how he managed his depression. He told me his thoughts on “the grind of life.”Because it’s every day. And it’s hard.But there are things we can do to make ourselves more okay with our chaos and the chatter between our ears. We can follow rules (like Jordan’s) or make our own.I’m doing both.Links and Resources12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B.

Steven Kotler believes that middle-aged adults are better learners than kids, and he has the Ivy League studies to back it up.In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kotler, the bestselling author of Gnar Country: Growing Ould, Staying Rad, and a true expert in the field of peak performance and human potential.In Gnar Country, Kotler explores the world of extreme sports and the science behind what drives these athletes to push themselves to their limits. But what's really interesting is how this knowledge can be applied to all of us, no matter our pursuits.During our conversation, Kotler introduced the concept of "dynamic deliberate play," which involves taking on new challenges and exploring the unknown with a sense of curiosity and creativity. He also talked about how this kind of play can lead to a state of "flow," which is when we're completely absorbed in the activity we're engaged in and time seems to fly by.Kotler also discussed the idea of "peak performance aging," which is the notion that we can continue to improve and achieve our goals well into our later years. He shared the latest research on how our brains and bodies age, and how we can use this knowledge to stay healthy, happy, and productive as we get older. Kotler's compiled research suggests that 'cognitive superpowers' exist which aren't neurologically available to younger humans, but there are four conditions required in order to tap into those abilities:By age 30: Solve the crisis of identity.Be age 40: Create a tight-knit match between your identity and your principal activity.By age 50: Exhibit forgiveness and empathy for yourself and others.In your 50s: Regularly engage in challenging and creative activities.We covered a lot of ground in this interview, from the science of flow to the keys to achieving your goals, and everything in between. So, whether you're an athlete, a professional, or just someone who wants to live your best life, you won't want to miss this conversation with Steven Kotler. Tune in to learn about the power of dynamic deliberate play and how it can help you achieve your full potential, no matter what your age.Visit the Gnar Country websiteVisit Steven Kotler's websiteSteven Kotler on Twitter------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Everybody is lying about the economy and I can't stand it anymore. Listen as I break down what people are misrepresenting, what is actually going on, and how I'm personally investing during this time.One stock that I own a good amount of is  Wrap Technologies, which I've owned for years (as a co-founder). I plan on owning it for hopefully 10 more years, so I don't care if people will buy it or not. Here's why I'm talking about this: I don't particularly care about what happens in the economy when I plan my investments. When I invest, I'm long-term and I'm looking for "moonshots" - exponentially growing industries that have the potential to take $1 and turn it into $100s.This interview originally appeared on Phil Stutts' Undefeated Marketing Podcast.

Sara Blakely is a self-made billionaire. She’s the founder and creator of Spanx. I interviewed her in January 2017 - over 800 episodes ago! - but all of her advice (learned directly from DOING) is still impacting me today. I had to re-listen. And I hope you do too...Some people are inspirations for life. Sara is one of those people.Sara Blakely is weird. I wish I could think the way she does. I want to be weird like her.“I look at any object and try to think of any use it has other than what people had planned for it.”And then she acts on it. She sees a pair of pantyhose, cuts off the feet (why not?), and creates a multi-billion dollar company, Spanx.She sees her 9-month pregnant belly and paints a basketball on it. And then inspires hundreds of other women to do the same. Creates a book out of it, The Belly Art Project, and donates the proceeds to charity.“All my life I was taught how to deal with failure,” she told me. “My dad would ask us at the dinner table every night: how did you fail today?” HOW DID YOU FAIL TODAY?She got comfortable with failure at an age when every other kid wants to get an A+ at everything.She got comfortable embarrassing herself. For two years she tried to be a standup comedian. “I wasn’t very good at it.” Practice embarrassing yourself…Ready. Fire. Aim.She got a huge order from Nieman Marcus even though she didn’t have the inventory or the production ready.She said, “YES!”. Then she figured out how to get the order filled.Oprah listed Spanx as one of her “favorite things” of 2000. Oprah wanted to film her office. Sara had no office.She said, “YES!”. Then she got an office and filled it up with people.Say YES! Then make things happen. Don’t argue yourself into failure.Excuses are easy. Saying “yes” and then executing is hard. Get your thinking time.“It takes me five minutes to drive to work,” she told me. “But I take 45 minutes. I use that time to think.”It’s important to think. To be creative every day.This is how she comes up with non-stop ideas to expand her brand, expand her products, and work on other projects.I suspect this is the secret to how she always sees things differently. Being creative is a practice. It’s not lightning from above.It’s taking the long route when you could’ve taken the short route. Purpose = Infectious salesmanship.While I was talking to Sara she used the word “empower” several times.Spanx clothes give women more confidence. Empowers women. The Belly Art Project empowers pregnant women.It seems like there are three parts to a project that leads to mastering salesmanship.The higher purpose for it. This gets people excited.The actual product and its benefits.ExecutionCombine all three and people will get infected with your passion for your ideas. Sara was unstoppable. Don’t volley.Don’t engage with the people who want to argue with you. That’s time wasted when you can be creative. Don’t invite ego in the door.Once you’ve worked on your project, have passion for it, and started it, be willing to take suggestions and listen to people.Ego can kill a project and close the door on good opportunities. Be aware of your mortality.Sara was selling fax machines for five years before fully launching Spanx.She could still be selling them if she never started.If she listened to all the people who tried to dissuade her.If she became afraid of the multi-billion dollar companies that could have easily squashed her. Except they didn’t. She was one person and they were billions. But they lost.We are here only this precious small amount of time. Make every moment a work of art. Make every moment move you one step forward toward your dream and purpose.Invent a new undergarment even if you have never made clothes in your life.Get 100s of women to paint their pregnant bellies and then raise money for charity with the idea.“EVERYTHING IS A CANVAS,” she told me.Which makes everyone a potential artist. What a great way to look at life.But I can’t!Why not?For anything you want to do, for anything that excites you, take the time to figure out the next step. Ready. Fire. Aim.Just why not? Why not? Links and Resources:Visit her website: Spanx  The Belly Art Project and check out the book The Belly Art Project: Moms Supporting MomsEvery Mother CountsMen’s SpanxFollow Sara on Instagram@sarablakelyFollow Sara on Facebook + TwitterAlso mentioned:“How To Be a No Limit Person” by Dr. Wayne DyerI interviewed Sara’s husband, Jesse Itzler, about his book Living with a SEAL: 31 Days Training with the Toughest Man on the Planet------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

“Terrorists have moms,” he said.Jeffrey Schilling was kidnapped in the Philippines and held hostage for 7 and a half months. The terrorists said they were torturing him.But Chris Voss didn’t fall for it.Chris is a former FBI hostage negotiator and the author of Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It.“Find a way to mention his mother’s concern for him,” Chris’ boss said.“I remember thinking, ‘That’s the dumbest idea I ever heard. A terrorist is going to care about this guys mother?’”“But my boss had great insight. And I didn’t see any downside to it. So in the middle of the negotiation I said, ‘Ya know Jeff’s mom is really worried about him.’”“What happened next?” I asked.“This murderous, sociopathic terrorist said, ‘His mother knows about this? You tell his mother he’s OK.’”Months later, Jeffrey came home.Some hostage negotiation tactics won’t work in business or with your wife.But these 5 tactics will…1. Use the “hand-cuff method”:Use this line when someone yells at you: “I can’t hear you when you’re yelling at me.”The logic is simple. People yell when they want you to listen.But if you eliminate their reward (being heard), then they have to comply. And you’ll never get yelled at again. 2. Push past threats:“People who make threats always leave themselves an out,” Chris said.But the truth is they need you. If you’re not talking, there’s no deal. They could lose out on a sale, a new employee, or millions of dollars.“The point of a negotiation is to find out how much money is on the table,” Chris said. “You have to push the other side as far as they’ll go… without insulting them.”  3. Gain the upper hand 100% of the time:“You can gain the upper hand by giving respect first,” Chris said.Which a lot of people are afraid to do...“But that’s exactly why you gain the upper hand,” Chris said.  4. Become less busy:Rest is the new hustle.“Anytime you slow down to do things more deliberately, you save time.” Chris calls this, “The delay that saves time.”  5. Show fearlessnessFear can be useful. But not in a negotiation. “Showing fearlessness is a great way to inspire confidence in you from the other side,” Chris said.Forget what you have to lose. And focus on the reward.I can’t afford to lose all my money again. So if you’re on this list… don’t listen to this interview:A) You’re related to meB) You work with meC) You want to sell me somethingEverybody else is welcome.------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Today, we're joined by the one and only Raymond Baker, author of the eye-opening book Invisible Trillions: How Financial Secrecy is in periling Capitalism and Democracy, and the Way to Renew our Broken System. That's a lot in the subtitle, but it's also a massive topic that's often swept under the rug because - as Raymond details - essentially every large corporation engages in the tax-dodging practices he details in depth in today's conversation. Raymond talks about the interweaving between capitalism and democracy, whether it's a good thing across the world, and the international ramifications. The examples Raymond provides in the book and in the actual experiences and situations he recounts on today's episode are very serious, and it really does involve trillions of dollars. You won't want to miss this fascinating conversation filled with surprising revelations and thought-provoking insights.

Brett Johnson committed tax fraud and credit card fraud from a desk inside the FBI offices for almost a year before going on a cross-country crime spree, stealing $600,000 in four months, making the US Most Wanted list, going to Disney World, getting sent to prison AND THEN ESCAPING! But let's back up…In today's episode of The James Altucher Show, we sit down with Brett Johnson, a man who has lived a double life. Once the leader of ShadowCrew & Counterfeit Library - precursors to the modern dark web - he's now a sought-after cybersecurity expert and consultant, using his insider knowledge of the criminal underworld to help organizations defend themselves against cyber threats.Brett takes us on a wild ride through his upbringing at the hands of manipulative criminal parents, his rise through the burgeoning world of cybercrime and social engineering beginning with mid-'90s eBay fraud, and how his yearning for love and acceptance concluded with his arrest by federal law enforcement.Instead of continuing down the path of criminal activity, Brett has found a way to use his expertise to make the digital world a safer place for all of us. Redemption is possible. No matter what mistakes you've made in the past, it's never too late to turn your life around and use your skills for good.------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Is it possible to time the crypto market? I  talked to Tascha from @TashaLabs, one of the smartest people I know in the crypto space. You definitely have to check out her website, Tasha Labs, and sign up for her newsletter.  We talk in great detail, not only about how you value a cryptocurrency, not only how you can time the crypto market, but about what really are some of the future use cases of crypto that will lead to ultimately a billion users, and why this is not just a fad.Back in 1999, 2000, and 2001, everyone was still saying the internet was a fad. Well, it wasn't.

Uri Levine was frustrated by traffic jams on his commute and found validation that the problem was widespread. His solution was to co-found Waze, the crowd-sourced GPS navigation platform which became a major competitor to Google Maps before being acquired by Google for $1.4 billion.But Uri's new book,  Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution: A Handbook for Entrepreneurs is not the story of Waze. It's not one story about entrepreneurship. It's completely an A-to-Z handbook for entrepreneurs with so many specific sections, like:How to do a demo,How to build a slide deckHow to make an effective presentationHow do you evaluate a term sheet?What metrics do you use to measure the growth of your company?How do you manage investors, fire people, and hire people?What deal terms need to be negotiated for the exit?This is such a valuable guide, it really is, and today's conversation builds upon these principles. Listen on as Uri & James discuss all of these topics and more, including:Waze built its maps using user GPS data, why did the first 1000 users download Waze? (00:11:22)The 4 Stages of Users: Innovators -> Early Adopters -> Early Majority -> Late Majority (00:13:14)What percentage of successes are problem-based vs innovation-based? (00:15:46)How do you distinguish between your users and your customers? (00:16:50)Did Waze ever consider charging subscriptions to the users? (00:18:37)What metrics do you look at to see if a business is on the right path? (00:39:25)Did Waze ever consider licensing navigation data?

Steven Pressfield's newest book, Govt Cheese a memoir, must jump to the top of your reading list.  Both gut-wrenching and laugh-out-loud funny, his brutally honest story is a compelling page-turner. Steven's writing career spans many genres and formats, but it almost never materialized. From US Marine to advertising copywriter, schoolteacher, tractor-trailer driver, bartender, oilfield roustabout, mental hospital attendant, migrant fruit-picker, and hack screenwriter, his debut novel - The Legend of Bagger Vance - was 30 years in the making before it was published (later to become a major motion picture). Never content with one format, his non-fiction book The War of Art has now sold over a million copies globally & his historical fiction novel Gates of Fire is on the required reading list at West Point.James and Steven touch upon all manner of concepts & credos during today's conversation, among them:What role does advertising play in an author's toolkit? (00:06:10)After writing 3 unpublished novels and 9 failed screenplays, what kept Steven motivated? (00:15:17)Did Steven ever consider suicide? (00:16:43)What breakthrough made Steven's books "publishable"? (00:19:13)The 5 stages of creative development: Desire, Craft, Soft Skills, Finishing, and Killing the Ego (00:29:43)The importance of mentorship (00:31:43)What did Steven learn from re-writing a porn script?

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, joins The James Altucher Show to discuss technology and how different systems handle disorder. As humans evolve, technology is constantly being upgraded and replaced with new concepts and ideas. Today, we use technology in almost every aspect of our lives, but do we really understand the advantages and disadvantages of constantly being computerized?In Nassim's book The Black Swan, he highlighted for readers the unusual and unpredictable events that underlie almost everything about our world.  Now with his book Antifragile, readers are presented with why we should embrace these uncertainties. The ideas and concepts that Nassim presents today for our listeners are beyond anything you have heard before. Nassim and James talk about several ways that disorder in your life will actually make you stronger. As Nassim tells James in the interview, "If you don't have variability in your life, you are not human." The key is to take these shocks and disruptions and become - as Nassim says - antifragile, making you stronger, more creative, and better able to adapt to each new challenge you face.Nothing is certain in this world; this episode will have you questioning everything you thought you knew.------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Jon Morrow might be the most successful copywriter on the web, and he's definitely the best indexed on the web. Jon (the owner of Smart Blogger) and James take today's 80 minutes to unravel the current market conditions for getting paid to write content, how to learn to do it, and how rapidly the market is going to shift over the next 5 years.In Jon's words, "The future of AI isn't to replace all writers, I think it's going to replace the word processor. Instead of going into Google Docs or Microsoft Word, you're going to go to an AI prompt and you're going to have a writing assistant who you will feed at your novel ideas and it will express them in super interesting ways that you can then choose from to publish on the web."The pair also discuss:Search-driven content vs. social media-driven contentWhat are content briefs and who are content strategists?Domain authority vs. topical authorityCopywriting vs. content writingAI-assisted SEO keyword generationHow to get paid to write from home with no prior experience!------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

"If you listen to only one podcast this year, this has to be the one." That's what James wrote after interviewing Peter Thiel in 2014 and, to begin 2023, we've remastered this classic episode for a new audience to experience. To one degree, this time-capsule episode immediately dates itself: Discussion about whether Uber can grow outside of San Francisco; Facebook was the most important social media company; talk of "new banking systems" doesn't revolve around cryptocurrencies and DFi.  Make it past the surface, however, and this episode provides 75 minutes of thoughtful and robust discourse around the principles which have made billions and created billionaires.Among the many lessons in today's episode:Capitalism and competition are antonyms. A capitalist to someone who's in the business of accumulating capital. Great companies do something unique, and because of this unique thing they have monopoly-like pricing power and can create value for all consumers.A company should start when they have a technology that is 10 times better than its closest competitor."I've never seen anyone succeed with a pitch like "1% of China will buy our refrigerator" because there will be 99 other Chinese companies for the other 99% of China, and they will drive the marginal profits to zero."It's critical to find people with whom you're fundamentally aligned and on the same page when you're starting a business. It's better to have a long pre-history with your co-founder so you understand each other's strengths and weaknesses and can speak to one another honestly. You get maximal cooperation when people's roles are defined in very differentiated ways. As a founder or manager in an early-stage startup, you need to continuously readjust the org chart, continuously redefine people's roles, and make sure that the highs and lows are differentiated so that the lows don't blow up like they might in a primitive, archaic tribe.(**Check out this incredible write-up outlining the episode from one of our listeners!**)Click here to find Peter's 2014 book, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future ------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Our conversations with astrophysicist Brian Keating Ph.D. are always wide-ranging, topical, and a little spicy (served with a side of bad puns). Today's conversation begins amidst the 5-week University of California Graduate Student Union strike, where Brian was unable to communicate with his graduate research assistants without a picket line being crossed. The discussion moves back to familiar territory from our prior encounters: imposter syndrome, winning and losing prestigious awards, and whether it's more charitable to donate anonymously or influence others to do so publicly.https://BrianKeating.com/listhttps://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

While the crypto industry is doubling down on ways to make key management and self-custody a lot easier with ideas like social backups, a revamp of the exchange industry is needed in order for major sources of wealth to stake their claims in the marketplace.Enjoy the conclusion of James' conversation with the "explainer-in-chief of crypto" Omid Malekan!------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

This might be one of the most pessimist episodes that I have done! The China-Taiwan tension has been rising every day since The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan.

I think there should be an Adulting 101 course out there!In this episode, my wife, Robyn, and I talked about why weren't some subject taught in high school. Like, as how to do laundry, how to take care or rent an apartment, how to cook for one person, and so on...Of course, Robyn has her own takes on those subjects! She thinks that parents should be the ones that teach the kids those skills as part of their parenting method! However, we both agree on high school should at least teach the kids about doing taxes, how to prepare for job interviews, and also teach basic probability and statistics! (A note from Jay the Engineer, we did learn those in our high school in Malaysia. Not taxes, but basic accounting.)Robyn and I also discuss how to have a healthy relationship with your spouse, and how having unique skills and/ or unique experiences can win you in life!Listen to the episode, and if you like episodes like these, make sure you give it a like, tweet at me @jaltucher, and leave a review!Visit Notepd.com to read more idea lists, or sign up and create your own idea list!My new book Skip The Line is out!

What is going on with the world in the past 3 years, especially the past few weeks? There is news about inflation, the economy, and reports of big tech companies planning to lay off their employees.With the uncertainties looming, we need something to take our minds off the news and calm our anxiety. I remember the podcast that I did with Julia Cameron, an American teacher, artist, poet, playwright, novelist, filmmaker, composer, journalist, and most of all, the author of "The Artist Way".In the episode, Julia talked about her morning pages, we discussed the 10,000 hours rules, and how can we use all the practices to help our creativity juice flow.

Are you a pessimist or an optimist towards the state and the economy of the world? Do you think we are finally at the bottom, and we are slowly climbing back up? Or do you think the worst had yet to come? In this episode, I had a conversation/ mild debate with Jim Rickards, an American lawyer, economist, investment banker, speaker, media commentator, and author on matters of finance and precious metals  about the state of the economy right now. We talked about what is the Fed doing about inflation, what causes inflation, and we talked about the supply chain issue, and when did the supply chain issue start?

People always put you in a box when you have become successful in "the" one field and one genre. Sometimes, when people do try something new, that didn't usually work out for them.However, this is not what happened to Brandon Webb, a former United States Navy SEAL, SEAL Sniper course Head Instructor, and author, and John David Mann, an award-winning author.They both went on from being successful in writing non-fiction to, now thriller novel writers that not just have one book, but a sequel to the previous book as well, Cold Fear.So, naturally, I have to have both of them on, to ask them, how did they do it?

It's really sad that Gilbert Gottfried, a great American stand-up comedian and actor, has recently passed away battling a long-time illness. I remember the first time meeting him, and talking to him on the podcast, I can feel his passion and love for comedy, and how he never gives up doing it!This is a re-release of the episode that I recorded with Gilbert where we talked about his passion for comedy, and how you can never please everybody in the world!-----------------------------------------------------Gilbert Gottfried started doing stand-up comedy when he was 15 years old. He dropped out of high school and within 10 years he was on Saturday Night Live. And he built his career up from there. But he's also been the center of a lot of controversies. People get upset at comedians for "going too far." But Gilbert does it for a reason... He said, "I remember, I did this show that was a tribute to Joan Rivers. It was right after there was that shooting at a gay nightclub. I started doing jokes about the shooting and the audience was laughing all the way through and you know, Joan Rivers has a large gay audience. One guy tweeted me and he said, ‘I never thought that I’d wake up crying and go to sleep laughing.'" It's easy to misunderstand people. And get upset. Whenever I'm made, I say to myself, "This means I'm not understanding something." So then I move that anger into curiosity. I kept asking Gilbert about his jokes. And we walked me through the humor. This episode will make you laugh and maybe uncomfortable but I promise the laughter makes it all worth it. The laughter is medicine for your day.-----------------------------------------------------Visit Notepd.com to read more idea lists, or sign up and create your own idea list!My new book Skip The Line is out!

One of my favorite political commentators, author, and journalist, P.J. O'Rouke has recently passed away. So I decided to re-release an older episode with him, and may he rest in peace. ----Everyone’s favorite topic… Trump. I interviewed PJ O’Rourke back in May. But today (the day this show releases) is pretty much the one year anniversary of President Trump’s inauguration. And so I explore alternate realities with PJ, a 2x New York Times bestselling author, journalist, Irish Catholic hippie and a world of other contradictions.QUESTION:  “What would the country be like if all the First Ladies ran the country?”ANSWER: “We’re out of slavery in 1800 because Sally Hemings would’ve abolished it.”(That’s a chapter in his book. PJ tells you how the world would be different. He gives you scenarios to dream up a new world.)He also asks you to vote differently… Hypothetically, who would you vote for if you picked the president based on who you’d go on a road trip with.Our conversation makes you think. And laugh. And wonder. Which are the three keys to a free mind.So I give you, PJ O’Rourke, author of “How The Hell Did This Happen: The Election of 2016”Links and ResourcesThe National Lampoon, PJ was the Editor in Chief in the 70’s (back in John Belushi days)“Parliament of Whores: A Lone Humorist Attempts to Explain the Entire U.S. Government” by PJ O’Rourke“Give War a Chance” by PJ O’Rourke“On The Wealth of Nations” by PJ O’RourkeEzra Pound (poet)East Village Other (a competitor to The National Lampoon)The Village Voice (another popular magazine back in the 70’s)NPR’s debrief on BrexitMy interview with Ron Paul“The Art of The Deal” by Donald TrumpEisenhower’s Farewell AddressMy new book Skip The Line is out!

As the world population grows every day, and methods of transportation get safer and safer every passing minute, will we run out of food supply? And will the organ transplant waitlist get longer?I was joined by Amy Webb, an American futurist, author, founder, and CEO of the Future Today Institute, and Andrew Hessel, microbiologist, geneticist, and entrepreneur, to talk about their new book, The Genesis Machine: Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology.In this episode, we talked about will the fusion of biology and computers can help us prevent a potential food hunger, the especially limited amount of organs that needed for an organ transplant, and also potentially editing the gene of your offspring, your descendants to make them either stronger or cure them of the genetic disease.However, all this also comes with a bigger question. The ethics. Is editing the gene of your soon-to-be-born baby ethical?

While I included lots of factual data to back up my proclamation, outlining everything from the city's current real-estate crisis to a rise in unemployment and loss of culture, many were quick to assume I merely had given up on New York City altogether. This is far from the truth! Listen to this episode to learn more about why I wrote this piece, what that crazy experience was like, and what I believe needs to happen to save the New York City I can assure you I love so dearly.

Rich Roll QUIT his job in his 40's. Then he started over completely. He went from lawyer to extreme athlete, bestselling author, podcaster, a speaker and more. I went on his podcast recently. And now we're airing it here. We talked all about this idea of giving yourself permission to switch passions (or follow the one you've always dreamed of). Because it's never too late. I've switched careers in my 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's. I'll keep reinventing until I die. That's how you stay alive. BUT you also don't want to have to be at the bottom when you start over. So we talk about that too. Here's a list of things you'll learn about: How to do what people told you you never could do What to do when your fear of other people's opinion is bigger than your will to change your life Why fear is IMPORTANT in reinvention How to get the courage you need every day My upcoming book, "Skip The Line" and my latest book "Think Like A Billionaire" Rich's story of leaving his job in his 40's and starting over How to transfer skills from one job to a new one The importance of experimentation How to believe in yourself How to come up with ideas for reinvention (and how to know which ideas are good ones) Goal setting (when NOT to do it. And when to do it) Hot to discover what you actually like doing in life ALSO, make sure you get yourself this snack for quarantine. I'm obsessed.

Maria Konnikova is a psychologist who studied her way into becoming a poker champion. She told me all the steps. And how this made her think better and more strategically about everything in life. She studied from scratch with one of the greatest poker players in history. Then she wrote a book about the experience, “The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win." But the book isn't just about poker. It's about chance, decision-making, measuring the likelihood of certain outcomes, cutting your losses, and more. And the game even taught her how to ask (and answer) some of life's big questions: "How do we figure out what we can control? How do we figure out what we can’t control? How do we learn the difference?" Here's a list of topics we cover: How to find the right mentor in life How to get good at decision-making How to master the skill of learning How to leverage what you already know Why it's more important to be curious than certain (and how to practice this daily) The importance of removing your ego How to always be one step ahead and think through outcomes And more.

Is the U.S. really a democracy? How does voting actually work? And who came up with these rules? I want to know who the f*** the electoral college is, why do they exist, and what democracy really looks like. And how to get there. So I called up David Litt, former speechwriter for Obama, among others. He says, “We have an electoral college for a number of reasons. And they’re all bad.” So you’ll learn about that. You’ll learn why the U.S. government technically isn’t really a democracy. And here’s a longer list of lessons: Which parts of the country get overlooked in voting Why swing states have the most power How much say we “the people” really have in voting The difference between the popular vote and electoral college How much power the electoral college really has The math behind WHY the electoral college currently favors Trump How race plays a role in our current democracy Why the number of swing states has decreases The history of states becoming “red” or “blue” How to find out if your state “matters” in the election How property rights impact voting How slavery impacts voting today And more I write about all my podcasts!

Everyone is trying to predict the markets, the economy, consumer behavior, etc. But what does the data say? I called up Phillip Stutts to find out. He just released a brand new report that reveals consumer behavior throughout the pandemic. It tells you exactly what to expect as the U.S reopens, how we'll spend money, what we'll care about, etc. The report is fueled by real data and current research (available at winbigmedia.com). In this episode, Phill and I talk about the report plus: Consumer behavoir / How people spend money during lockdown vs. what will change post-lockdown in the long and short term Why males care less now about helping others Protests and being unheard Why safety is becoming center in consumer marketing (and how businesses can do this successfully) How commercial real estate is going to change COVID19 vaccines Why I’m not afraid to fly How to measure the lifetime value of a customer Google trends Whether or not higher education is dead The election and who to bet on (and how to bet on it!)

Spike Cohen is the first anarchist AND the first millennial on the ticket for the upcoming 2020 election. He’s the Vice President Elect for the libertarian party (the third largest political party in the U.S.). He has a lot of compelling arguments about the federal reserve, inflation, freedom, centralized government versus decentralized government, etc. And you might be wondering, ‘Why does anyone run as a third party? What’s the point?’ I asked him this, too. But here’s the real reason to listen to this episode: you get to challenge the conventional ideas of politics. I’d like to hear what you think.

Blake Mycoskie is the founder of TOMS shoes, known for its "buy a pair, give a pair" model. But when Blake started he knew nothing about shoes. Or building a company. “It was just a project,” he said. And yet it became a massively successful and has donated tens of millions of shoes to people in need. I asked Blake how he got the courage to start a company he knew nothing about. I also asked him about the business model, selling the company and building his new company, MadeFor, which is new wellness company that helps you learn how to have agency over your own health. Here's a list of all the things we talk about: The origin story of TOMS, their business model and how they took off How to develop a company that gives back How to find a cause you want to help Blake's new company, MadeFor and how to have agency over your health (and what to focus on) Healthy habits you can develop NOW Hallucinogenics Blake's advice for building a business during and after the pandemic And if you go to getmadefor.com and type in MFJAMESALTUCHER then you get 20% off.

People say not reading the news = being “uninformed.” I disagree. I read books (history books, biology books, evolutionary books, economics books, etc.). But now, we live in a new world.

The world economy is full of uncertainties. People are furloughed. Or scared of being furloughed. Or fired. Or scared of losing their job. Security isn’t real right now. So we need other plans. I called up Matthew Berry, the first-ever Fantasy Sports analyst. Matthew basically invented a new industry and career entirely back in 2005. I wanted to learn the step-by-step process of starting over in uncertain times. And how we can apply these lessons today. I don't know anything about sports (real or fake). But if you're a fan of Fantasy Football, then good news for you. You can watch Matthew Berry on "The Fantasy Show" on EPSN+.

Facts are only facts for a period of time. This is true in science, in history, in economics, everywhere. But sometimes we forget that information changes. We get stuck thinking it’s stagnant. And then WE become stagnant. But if you can look at facts and information from an alternate perspective (through the lens of a rocket science), you’ll know how to get unstuck, persuade better, deal with uncertainty, have creative breakthroughs and more. In this episode you’ll learn how Einstein (and other geniuses) learned to think differently). And why this will help you deal with the current fluctuation of facts and information. Ozan Varol is a trained rocket scientist and the author of "Think Like a Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life." In this episode we talk about: How Einstein learned to think differently How to deal with unclear information and uncertain times Where scientific (and creative) breakthroughs come from (and strategies to have them more often yourself) How to embrace the unknown What makes an idea groundbreaking How to imagine beyond society's limits and create something new How to re-imagine the status quo I write about all my podcasts!

So I called him up to hear the plan. How will the U.S. government reopen to economy? And what should aspiring entrepreneurs do now?
