James Altucher is a legendary venture capitalist investor, an angel investor, a best-selling author, and a comedian. He’s written over 20 books, and thousands of articles, and built a fortune in the dot-com era. We kick off with James reflecting on the power of television and how it helps nurture creativity in our young minds. His love of entertainment led him to a career in stand-up comedy. He discuss the importance of confidence in public speaking and reading and controlling your audience. James also details his business ventures. He takes us through the complex world of owning a comedy club, plus how he made a terrible investment in a time machine (spoiler alert!) and learned NOT to trust his gut. He also gives his process on working with with angel investors, and how to structure your business to sell it.
