The James Altucher Show
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.

611 - Scott Adams - PERSUASION IN THE AGE OF HYPOCRISY (And...who will win the election?)
Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, and I were chatting about all the hypocrisy in the world, his latest persuasion techniques, and the question that he DESTROYED in 2016: who will win the election? He called it 18 months in advance for 2016. I want to know what he says now! And why? And I wanted therapy for dealing with social media.
So I called him and we did a podcast. Most importantly, we talked about how to turn the level of hypocrisy against the hypocrites. Surviving and thriving in the age of hypocrisy.

607 - The Ultimate Guide to Leadership with SEALFIT founder, Mark Divine!
Mark Divine, creator and founder of SEALFIT and The Unbeatable Mind Academy, and the author of Staring Down the Wolf: 7 Leadership Commitments That Forge Elite Teams, comes on to talk about how, more than ever, we all need to reach our potential and the techniques he learned in the SEALS, in the martial arts, and as an entrepreneur. Society has turned upside down. The true leaders will emerge and they will be the ones who can literally "stare down the wolf" while the rest are busy arguing mindlessly on social media.
We discuss things from the evolution of consciousness, to his daily practice, to how to directly turn pain into growth! Mark also talked about how he heard about the planned riots during the protest and what might be going on beneath the surface. Listen to the episode to learn from Mark Divine!

My good friend Stephen Dubner, co-author of Freakonomics and host of the "Freakonomics Radio" podcast, has a new podcast called "No Stupid Questions" co-hosted by Angela Duckworth, author of Grit: The Power of Passion. So I "sat" down with both of them, and discuss some of the "non-stupid" questions that they have asked on their podcast! For example, what's common between Tom Sawyer and the founder of Duo Lingo, does all creativity comes from pain, and what does it mean to be a hard worker? Listen to the episode and find out!
