The James Altucher Show
James Altucher
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.

416 - Phillip Stutts: The Strategy To Win (Marketing in The Digital Age)
Phillip Stutts has been at the forefront of defining digital campaigning in politics. He has gotten presidents elected. He's gotten senators elected. He's gotten all sorts of political offices elected. I wanted to hear the strategy behind those wins. And how it can be applied to business. But I also wanted to ask Phillip about his rare, incurable disease. Because he set a goal to find the cure in 5 years. Even though he has absolutely zero experience in medical research or any of that, he felt inspired to "stop doing nothing." So I ask him about that inspiration and drive, too.

411- Wyclef Jean: From Poverty to The World Stage (How to Dream a New Reality)
Wyclef Jean is one of my favorite artists/rappers/creators. He came from the worst ghettos in Brooklyn. And before that, he came from Haiti. I wanted to know how he took the leap... because so many people are afraid to try. He would imagine himself singing in front of audiences when he was just singing behind the counter at Burger King. And eventually, that vision was reality. I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!

410 - AJ Jacobs: How I Reduce Stress Daily
AJ Jacobs traveled all around the world to say "thanks" to all the people involved in making his morning cup of coffee. Then he wrote about it in his new book "Thanks a Thousand." He thanked everyone from the farmers to the truckers and so on. Then I did my own gratitude experiment (during this podcast).

408 - James Frey: Breaking The Rules, Writing & Becoming Yourself Again
James Frey is a controversial writer. On purpose. He wanted to be "the most notorious writer in the world." He ran off to Paris to be a writer when he was 21. He published a bestseller 12 years later ("A Million Little Pieces"). That's 12 years of failure. He told me about those 12 years, his writing style, how he developed a voice, rehab, addiction, depression... but mostly about learning how to become yourself again. Links and Resources: Read James' books: "A Million Little Pieces" "Katerina" "My Friend Leonard" "Bright Shiny Morning" "The Final Testament of the Holy Bible" "Endgame: The Complete Training Diaries: Volumes 1, 2, and 3 (Endgame: The Training Diaries)" "Endgame: Sky Key" "Endgame: Rules of the Game" "Endgame: The Calling" "Endgame: The Complete Zero Line Chronicles (Endgame: The Zero Line Chronicles)" I write about all my podcasts!
