The James Altucher Show

James Altucherart19.com
James Altucher interviews the world's leading peak performers in every area of life. But instead of giving you the typical success story, James digs deeper to find the "Choose Yourself" story - these are the moments we relate to... when someone rises up from personal struggle to reinvent themselves. The James Altucher Show brings you into the lives of peak-performers: billionaires, best-selling authors, rappers, astronauts, athletes, comedians, actors, and the world champions in every field, all who forged their own paths, found financial freedom and harnessed the power to create more meaningful and fulfilling lives.

602 - You Can Change Passions at ANY Point in your Life with Rich Roll

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...

599 - Obama Speech writer gave the view of democracy, David Litt

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'...

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.

596 - What They're Not Telling You About the Protests with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams

Eric Adams is the Brooklyn Borough President. He's also running for mayor. You probably remember the last time he came on. And talked about why he became a police officer... and how being physically beaten by the police inspired him to make change. Now, he's back on to explain the streams of the protests. Who's out there in peaceful protest? Who's disrupting it? Why are their professional anarchists robbing people of their chance to speak about injustice? And how do we move forward? I write abou...

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 liste...

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 wel...

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. And yesterday's information can become outdated tomorrow. So that begs the question, how do you stay informed? I called up Jack Perry, CEO of Synback, which has its finger on the pulse of all media to learn WHERE real information will be sourced in the future. And how to stay in the know.

I called up Matthew Berry, the first-ever Fantasy Sports analyst. Matthew basically invented a new industry and career entirely back in 2005.

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 ...
