A Note from James:

So Chef Curtis Duffy—he’s won Michelin Stars, a James Beard Award. He’s been on Netflix’s Iron Chef, was a judge on Top Chef season 21, and he’s even shown up in The Bear. He runs the Chicago restaurants Ever and Grace, and he wrote this incredible memoir called Fireproof: Memoir of a Chef.

I could list all the accolades, but what really got me was his story—it's one of the most intense and heartbreaking I’ve ever read. The kind of story that stops you in your tracks. We talk about all of it—the trauma he lived through, the discipline he built, and what it takes to truly be great at anything. If you're chasing excellence in any part of your life, this episode will hit hard.

Episode Description:

James sits down with acclaimed chef Curtis Duffy for a raw and powerful conversation that goes far beyond the kitchen. From the trauma of losing both parents in a murder-suicide to earning multiple Michelin stars, Duffy shares the personal and professional disciplines that shaped his life. This isn’t just a story about food—it’s about resilience, focus, and the high cost of mastery. Whether you're building a business, learning a craft, or rebuilding your life, Curtis’s story offers something rare: clarity on what it really takes.

What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between discipline and motivation—and why only one sustains greatness.
• How Curtis transformed personal tragedy into a lifelong drive for excellence.
• What separates a 2-star Michelin restaurant from a 3-star—and why consistency matters more than you think.

A Note from James:

Miesha Tate—at first, I’ve got to admit, I didn’t know much about UFC or MMA. But Miesha was the World Bantamweight Champion, and she fought Ronda Rousey—probably the most famous female fighter in the sport. I watched one of their fights, and honestly, I don’t know how I’d survive even a quarter of a second.

But the conversation we had wasn’t what I expected. Miesha opened up about the mindset behind championship success, the weight of public expectations, and how depression can still hit even after you’ve reached the top. We talked about how personal growth sometimes means burning down everything and rebuilding. This wasn’t just about fighting—it was about resilience, reinvention, and figuring out what matters when the title belt doesn’t solve your problems.

It was raw, honest, and eye-opening. I look forward to talking with her again.

Episode Description:

What happens when you reach the top of your field—and it still doesn’t fix what’s broken inside?

Former UFC Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate shares the brutal truth about chasing success, surviving toxic relationships, and rebuilding her life from rock bottom. In this candid conversation, Miesha and James explore the psychology of high performance, the danger of tying self-worth to achievement, and how to know when it's time to walk away—even from something you love.

She tells stories from her early wrestling days to her UFC career, opens up about depression, and explains why learning to fail—and rebuilding—might be the most important skill of all.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why reaching your ultimate goal might make you feel worse, not better
• The hidden costs of high achievement and fame
• How to identify toxic environments and take back control
• Why learning to “rebuild your metaphorical home” is essential to resilience
• How Miesha used mindset—not just physical training—to fight through adversity

A Note from James:

One of the funniest guys I’ve ever spoken to—Dave Barry. I always love talking to him. He’s been America’s top humorist since the early ’80s with a syndicated column in 500 newspapers and a long list of bestselling books. This is his third time on the podcast, and his latest book, Class Clown: Memoirs of a Professional Wiseass, is out now.

We get into everything—his process, his adventures, and his signature style of humor that’s made him a legend. It’s always fun with Dave.

Episode Description:

James sits down with Dave Barry to explore the surprising journey behind his new memoir, Class Clown. Dave shares how his humor evolved from playful everyman columns to a more personal, story-driven style. They talk about his outrageous adventures, from picking up his son in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile to getting booed by telemarketers and dedicating a sewage station in his honor. They also break down the shifting landscape of writing, how syndication shaped Dave’s career, and why modern humor feels trapped in political silos.

This is a rare chance to hear how one of America’s greatest humorists built a career by doing things to write about them—and why his readers became his closest allies.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why Dave Barry was initially reluctant to write a memoir.
• How performing outrageous stunts became central to his writing.
• The critical role of reader engagement in building the success of his humor column.
• How the writing industry—and the path to building an audience—has radically changed.

Notes from James:

I had no idea this conversation would go where it did. I thought we’d talk chess. Instead, we talked about life, trauma, manipulation, redemption… and how one of the world’s most popular games can be both a tormentor and a savior.

Episode Description:

In this raw and powerful episode, I sat down with Danny Rensch—International Master, Chief Chess Officer of Chess.com, and author of the upcoming memoir Dark Squares—to uncover a story that’s anything but a typical chess tale. Raised in a spiritual cult obsessed with chess, Danny’s path to mastery involved trauma, isolation, and resilience. We go deep into the psychological aftermath of cult life, the beauty and torment of the game that saved him, and how he helped turn Chess.com into a global phenomenon with over 200 million users.

This isn’t just an episode about chess. It’s about survival, identity, and how to turn pain into purpose.

What You’ll Learn:

• How Danny’s obsession with chess began inside a controlling cult
• The complicated relationship between talent, trauma, and identity
• How being taken from his family at age 12 shaped his worldview
• How Chess.com exploded from 100k subscribers to millions after The Queen’s Gambit
• Why cheating in chess is a growing threat—and how they’re fighting it
• What the Hans Niemann scandal revealed about the future of the game
• How to build resilience and purpose from even the darkest beginnings

A Note from James:

Man, what a fascinating career Robert Rosenkranz has had—multi-billionaire, involved in virtually every part of finance and American industry. He wrote a book called The Stoic Capitalist, and what really stands out is how he's actively applied stoic principles to achieve immense success throughout his career. Even from a young age, stoicism played a crucial role, guiding him through critical business decisions. It's a real pleasure speaking with Robert—an American icon.

James welcomes Robert Rosenkranz, author of The Stoic Capitalist: Advice for the Exceptionally Ambitious, to discuss how applying stoicism's timeless principles helped him navigate pivotal career decisions and financial challenges.

Notes from James:

When I turned 40, I was depressed. I checked the top 50 chess players and saw only one person around my age: Viswanathan Anand. That moment gave me hope.

Episode Description:

I met one of my lifelong heroes—five-time World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand—and got to sit down with him at the Norway Summit to unpack what it really takes to stay at the top… for four decades. We didn’t just talk about chess—we talked about life, legacy, improvement, and how to overcome self-doubt at any age.

Vishy and I broke down how talent evolves, why confidence matters more than skill early on, and how he battled through plateaus, age, and even failure to remain among the world’s elite players—well into his 50s. This episode is a masterclass in longevity, performance, and reinvention.

Whether you're into chess or not, Vishy's insights apply to anyone striving to master their craft, overcome obstacles, and stay in the game.

What You’ll Learn:

• The real reason most people plateau—and how to push through it
• Why youth is powered by “inaccurate self-confidence” (and why that’s not a bad thing)
• How to adapt when the game—or the world—changes faster than you can keep up
• What to do when your best effort still leads to loss
• How to retrain your mindset after failure or self-doubt
• Why reinvention is a lifelong skill, not a one-time fix

A Note from James:

So I’ve been doing this podcast for a long time—over 1500 episodes—and I’ve spoken to everyone from billionaires to best-selling authors, athletes to entrepreneurs. But there are a handful of episodes that still ring in my ears years later. One of them was Episode 156 with Gary Vaynerchuk.

I was just re-listening to it while pulling together notes for a potential book, and I realized this conversation is timeless. It’s not about hype. It’s about freedom. Gary’s blueprint—learn, build, create community, stay self-aware—is the real deal. No shortcuts. No tricks. Just pure, actionable wisdom. Whether you’re 23 or 53, if you're serious about building the life you want, this one’s worth a listen.

Send it to your kids. Your friends. Your future self.

Thanks again for listening.

Episode Description:

In this re-release of one of the most downloaded episodes of The James Altucher Show, James sits down with Gary Vaynerchuk just before the release of his book #AskGaryVee. What unfolds is a candid, highly tactical conversation about business, content creation, self-awareness, and the true meaning of entrepreneurship.

Gary breaks down his framework for success—from selling wine via YouTube in the early 2000s to launching VaynerMedia and investing in Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. He also explains why patience, practicality, and micro-failure are essential ingredients for long-term freedom.

This isn’t motivational fluff. It’s the strategy, mindset, and playbook of someone who’s been in the trenches—and is still hungry.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why "entrepreneurship" is really just a path to freedom—not fast cash
• How Gary made (and learned from) multiple startup failures in 2009
• Why content marketing is about sincerity, not SEO hacks
• How to test new business ideas through arbitrage—like flipping Jets gear on Amazon
• A tactical breakdown of self-awareness (and how to get it from people you trust)

A Note from James:

So the question is, I really feel that in order to get not good at something, but great at something, you have to be obsessed. You can't just wake up and decide to be obsessed—it has to be deep, almost irrational. Obsession is like addiction. It throws your life off balance, and yet... there’s this insane joy when you enter the subculture of your obsession and get better at it.

I’ve seen this recently in crypto. I saw it in chess in Norway, commenting on what might’ve been the best chess tournament ever. And I felt it again when I sat down with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam from New In Chess.

We didn’t just talk about chess. We talked about obsession, aging, failing at something you love, and trying to find your place in a subculture that’s moved on without you.

If you care about learning, obsession, or just love chess, you’re going to get something out of this episode. Dirk and I recorded this in Stavanger, Norway. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did being a part of it.

Episode Description:

What does it mean to return to your first love after nearly 30 years away? In this special crossover episode, James Altucher sits down with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam, editor of New In Chess magazine, to reflect on his lifelong (and recently rekindled) obsession with chess. They explore how obsession shapes mastery, why wisdom sometimes trumps raw skill, and what it’s like to try and reclaim an old identity as an older version of yourself.

James opens up about losing games to kids half his age, obsessively chasing improvement, and why it still might be okay to fail—as long as the journey is honest. From teenage blitz tournaments to dinner with Garry Kasparov, from neuroscience to narrative writing, this episode is as much about how to live as it is about how to play.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why obsession is both a superpower and a danger
• How James approaches relearning chess after a 27-year break
• What changes in the brain as we age—and how to work with it
• The surprising ways chess opens doors in life, business, and writing
• Why storytelling and vulnerability matter more than "success" alone

A Note from James:

Michael Dell. Founder of Dell. I remember in college, hearing about this kid who was building computers in his dorm and making millions. I thought it was a myth. It wasn’t. He’s the real thing—and he just kept going.

I wanted to understand what drove him, what it felt like to deal with Carl Icahn trying to wrestle his company from him, and what success feels like after decades of being in the game. Also: I had to ask why Dell didn’t invent Google. That, plus how he’s now thinking about AI, cancer, and what “focus” really means.

Episode Description:

James Altucher sits down with Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, to trace the entire arc of Dell's career—from building computers in a college dorm room to defending his company against Carl Icahn and taking it private. In this candid conversation, Dell shares how early obsession with tech and business turned into a multibillion-dollar global enterprise, the lessons he’s learned about leadership, and how he’s positioning for the future with AI, cybersecurity, and gene tech on the horizon.

This is more than a business story. It’s about risk, conviction, reinvention—and knowing when to walk away from Steve Jobs.

What You’ll Learn:

• How Dell’s dorm-room business scaled to $80,000/month before he even left college
• What Michael Dell really thought during his showdown with Carl Icahn
• Why most big companies fail to innovate—and how to keep a startup mindset

Notes from James:

Most people get stuck at the idea stage. That’s why I’m sharing frameworks—so you’re not staring at a blank screen. These techniques have helped hundreds of people (including me) go from idea to published book in just 30 days.

Episode Descriptions:

In Part 5 of my 30-day writing series, I unveil four of the most powerful book-writing frameworks I’ve ever used or taught—and they’ve helped hundreds of people write their first book in just a month. These aren’t theoretical. They’re real-world, repeatable methods that have led to bestsellers, media appearances, consulting gigs, and new careers.

From the "101 List Technique" to the "Jesus Diet" method, each framework simplifies your creative process, helps you structure your ideas fast, and shows you how to turn your interests into income. I even share how you can write a book using past podcast interviews or unreadable academic research.

If you’ve ever thought, “I have an idea, but I don’t know how to turn it into a book,” this episode gives you the blueprint—four times over.

What You’ll Learn:

• The “101 List” format and why people LOVE books with lists
• How to turn your podcast (or other content) into a book—step by step
• The “Jesus Diet” method and how to combine timeless concepts with trending topics
• Why academic research papers are gold mines (and how to use them to write your book)
• How to choose a niche, research efficiently, and find your book’s unique angle
• The truth about book length—and why shorter can be better
