Episode description

Our world is filled with opportunities. We can more easily share our ideas and pursue our dreams. Even though it’s easier than before, the path is still challenging. If you want to pursue your dreams, you’ll enjoy hearing about how you can skip the line. It’s possible to get catapulted to the front of any discipline in an ethical way. James Altucher shares the path we can follow.

He has started more than twenty companies and is invested in over thirty. He is the author of more than 20 books, including the bestsellers The Power of No and Choose Yourself. His writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, The Observer, Financial Times, Huffington Post, and TechCrunch. He also writes a popular blog and hosts a successful podcast, The James Altucher Show, that has had over 80,000,000 downloads. An eight-episode docuseries based on Choose Yourself was produced by DNA Films and released on Amazon in 2020.
