A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of chatting with James Altucher. James is a serial entrepreneur, angel investor, bestselling author, and host of The James Altucher Show. In the first part of our interview, James wanted to learn more about black holes, wormholes, and the origin of the universe, so we explored these topics in detail.

In this second part, we moved away from physics and talked about the complexities of the Israel-Gaza conflict, campus politics, podcasting, and more! Enjoy.
