197. Interviewing Andrew Tate & Cults: James Altucher Part 2
Today is part 2 of my episode with James Altucher that I did out there at his home in Georgia. James is simply one of the most fascinating people I’ve ever spoken to, so I had to get him on the show. He made millions selling his website company – and then blew it all over the next couple years. He since made and lost millions many times.
