The James Altucher Show

Lewis Howes is doing a TV show... he was told "no, not now" from Ellen Degeneres's team. And six months later told "yes" by Facebook. I wanted to know how he made it happen, what it's about and WHY he pressed forward. (A hint: it has to do with energy).    Links and Resources "Inspiring Life with Lewis Howes" "The School of Greatness: A Real-World Guide to Living Bigger, Loving Deeper, and Leaving a Legacy" by Lewis Howes  "The Mask of Masculinity: How Men Can Embrace Vulnerability, Create Strong Relationships, and Live Their Fullest Lives" by Lewis Howes  Visit Lewis' website and subscribe to his newsletter  Listen to his podcast "The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes"  Follow Lewis on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram   Also Mentioned Comedian Steven Wright Jerry Seinfeld "Failing Up" by Leslie Odom Jr Ramit Sethi Gabby Bernstein Jay Shetty Gretchen Rubin Lewis on Ellen Degeneres Tom vs. Time (Tom Brady's Facebook show)  Jada Pinkett Smith's Facebook show  Tony Robbins Scott Adams' "talent stack" theory Lewis' podcast interview with Tony Hawk My podcast with Tony Hawk Uber's collaboration with Spike Lee James Altucher Show animated podcast series (made possible thnks to Jon Briggs and FoodFight Studios) Access to my ebook "FAQ Me"    I write about all my podcasts!

Cal Fussman was the Editor at Large at Esquire for years where he got to interview Muhammad Ali, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Robert DeNiro and hundreds more. So he's really known as an all star interviewer. He asks big questions. And now he's interviewing me, which is also live on his podcast "Big Questions." He named the episode "James Altucher on Reaching For Your Future and Letting Go of Your Past." So, I guess that's what this episode is about. He said, "I'd like to go to the start and see the arch of your life." And I hope you let this episode be an invitation for you to explore your own story arch, too.

This is a must listen for anyone interested in money, wealth creation, investing strategy, crypto, psychology, economics, etc. Roy Niederhoffer is a super investor. And founder of a billion dollar hedge fund. He started earning six-figures at age 13! He taught himself how to code and then started a software company with his friends. He used the money he made to fund his education at Harvard, where he studied neuroscience. And now he applies what he learned about the brain and human behavior to the market. And it only gets more impressive when you find out that he really came from humble beginnings (his father was a cop). So, this interview will cover everything from investing strategy to the future of currency PLUS book recommendations, methods to stay motivated and more.     Also Mentioned Monroe Trout Toby Cravel Paul Jones  Space Invaders video game TSR-80 Pac-Man Ms. Pac-Man Scott Adams Beethovens' Symphony No. 5  Daniel Kahneman author of "Thinking Fast and Slow"  "The Blank Slate" by Steven Pinker Joseph Stiglitz "Antifragile" by Nassim Taleb     I write about all my podcasts!

Seth Godin is best known as marketer and an author. But I think of him as one of the great thinkers we have today. He doesn't create for the masses. He creates for a core group of people. Seth says to imagine this (it's the essence of his creation, his art and his business): "You have a microphone, what are you going to do with it? My formula is I wake up in the morning and think about the people I seek to serve. That's all I do. And I don't reverse engineer it. I make it so that I can actually do my work." He asks himself, "What change am I trying to make here?" And he wants you to ask yourself this, too.   Links and Resources "Purple Cow" by Seth Godin "Gracefully" by Seth Godin Akimbo (Seth's new podcast)  Seth's blog "This Might Work" by Seth Godin Seth Godin's online course Alt-MBA    Also Mentioned Krista Tippett and her podcast "On Being"  Malcolm Gladwell's podcast "Revisionist History"  The Davinci Code Gangnam Style Chris Anderson Kevin Kelly's article "1,000 True Fans" "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm gladwell "Freakonomics" by Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt  Choose Yourself by me, James Altucher Jerry Seinfeld Sweet Green Howard Schultz (founder of Starbucks) Ayn Rand (author of "Atlas Shrugged" Zig Ziglar Warby Parker Wharton Business School Adam Grant author of "Originals" James Cook "The War of Art" by Stephen Pressfield Jiro Dreams of Sushi (a Netflix documentary)   I write about all my podcasts!

Bishop T.D. Jakes was not born with "Bishop" in his name. He's a preacher. The first one on my podcast. But he's ALSO an entrepreneur (His business is his church and he has an entertainment company called TDJ enterprises). Every week, Bishop T.D. Jakes gives sermons to tens of thousands of people on multiple platforms (online and off). And people watch from all over the country. So I asked him about that (building an audience, find what you love, pursuing it, etc.) And I asked about his business. He gave me so much knowledge about entrepreneurship. And his most recent book, "Soar!: Build Your Vision From the Ground Up" says how anyone (from beginner to expert) can adopt his principles. We packed so much valuable information into the hour we were together. Everything from reinventing the choices we make to "purpose over profit" to why failure is priceless.

Five years ago I interviewed one of my all-time favorite authors and brilliant thinkers. Now, I'm bringing this interview about mastery back to the surface. Before you can master something, you have to know what that "something" is. We all want to master something. And live to our full potential. That's why we ask ourselves questions like, "What's my passion?" and "What do I love?" Robert Greene told me his theory: find your voice, connect with your likes and dislikes. He digs into these strategies but also talks about seduction, manipulation, regret, writing and why he thinks everybody has creative potential.   Links and Resources "48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene "Mastery" by Robert Greene "Art of Seduction: An Indispensible Primer on the Ultimate Form of Power" by Robert Greene Also Mentioned "FAQ ME" - a free ebook for my podcast listeners!

Sasha Cohen is a World Champion ice skater. She won silver in the 2006 Winter Olympics when she was just 22 years old. Which means she had to start early. I wanted to know how she figured out what her dream was. (Because I think that's hard at any age.) And I wanted to know how she became one of the best in the world at her thing. Her pursuit is relentless. Her focus is obsessive. And now she's sharing how to chase your dreams. And then make it happen...

I wanted someone to interview me. And Amy Morin was the perfect choice. She's the author of "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do" and she's been on the podcast twice before this. For Part 1 of this interview, we cover a lot... Here's a list: - WHY you should invest in yourself & how to diversify that investment - Why process is more important than goals - "Vulnerability hangovers" - Anxiety - Writing - Reinvention - How to say "no" (and when to say "yes") And more.
