James Altucher — Reinvention, Accelerated Learning, and Lessons from Making (and Losing) Millions


Listen Later

James Altucher is an entrepreneur, bestselling author, investor, stand up comedian, and podcaster who has founded over 20 companies and published more than 20 books.
This was a bit of a surreal experience for me, as there are few people on the planet that have impacted my thinking and approach to business more than James. As you’ll hear in the interview, he has continuously reinvented himself throughout life and boldly thrown himself into strange and challenging situations, such as performing standup on the New York subway, attempting to buy the country Greenland, and giving away everything he owned.
In this conversation, we explore:
— What James learned from making millions and then losing everything
— How the simple practice of writing 10 ideas everyday can change your life
— Why radical vulnerability leads to freedom
— Strategies for accelerating the learning process
— The benefits of viewing yourself as having four “bodies” – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
And more.
