The James Altucher Show

Nik Wallenda is a daredevil. He's broken 11 Guinness World Records and should be dead from all of them. But he's not. His skill is unexplainable. It's part acrobat. Part circus. Part mastermind... You might've seen him on a highwire. BLINDFOLDED. While crossing the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, between buildings in Time Square or Chicago and more. I wanted to know how Nik defeated fear... was it his childhood training? Was it his focus or ability to control his heart rate? And how does he get himself to keep doing the thing that could plunge him to death while the rest of us are scared to quit our 9-5s? Nik's talent is unbelievable. But the method behind it is accessible. And something we can all look at as a form of possibility. I write about all my podcasts!

I love having Bishop T.D. Jakes on the podcast. This is his third time on the show. And each time, he teaches me something new about turning pain into promise. So what does that mean? It means you're not melting into the pain of life. Instead, you're aware that you're not alone. And that other people could use your help if you pull yourself out of that. And lend them a hand. That's what true entrepreneurship is. And it starts by realizing that you can help people. Click play to hear T.D.'s deeply thoughtful expression of how to turn your passions and pains into something that makes life better not just for you, but for the world. I write about all my podcasts!

Any one can write a book. And publish it. You don't need a publisher. Or any gatekeeper to approve. You just need your own permission. And then you can do it yourself. So in this podcast, I walk you through how to pick your topic, how to find a unique angle to write about, how to outline your chapter, and so on. Think of this episode as a ready, fire, aim approach to writing and workshopping your own book in just 30 days flat. And! If you really want to hear how successful someone can be with self-publishing their own book, go look at my friend Kamal Ravikant. He published a short book, 50 pages or so. And still makes money off of it today. It's just passive income. And he felt good writing it. I write about all my podcasts!

His life revolves around space research, understanding how humans and tech will fuse as one, and how this will impact job security, job creation, money, opportunity... everything.

Tom Quiggin is a former military intelligence officer. And Canadian. And host of the Quiggen Report Podcast about "counter-terrorism in the age of identity politics." (i.e. how can you talk about a threat if you'll be call politically incorrect or worse racist if the threat itself happens to pertain to a certain culture?) I don't know the answer. And usually, I don't care. But I've had a lot of people come on the podcast recently and talk to me about the threat against free speech and comprise. You can take my privacy. I already know Alexa is listening. But free speech is another story. Because, if you look at history, speech is the first thing to disappear when countries collapse. Let's take a look. PLUS you'll also hear what counter-terrorism really looks like (interrogation tactics, interviews, the psychological states of a terrorist's mind and more.) I write about all my podcasts!
