Become An Idea Machine With James Altucher: Create, Experiment & Adapt

June 01, 2020 2:02:00 147.01 MB Downloads: 0
“If you don’t give yourself permission to create a new world, chances are nobody else will.”
James Altucher

The dystopia is here.

Chaos, confusion, fear and anger. Horrific racism. Generations of pain fueling rioting and violence. Death and illness. Faltering systems and leadership failures. Market crashes and jobs lost.

Communities are divided. Home lives are disrupted. Meanwhile, cities all across America are literally on fire.

How we can right the ship? Deal with these cataclysmic shifts? And move forward productively?

We can crash and burn. Or we can adapt -- a remaking of society that begins with personal reinvention.

James Altucher is a virtuoso of this process.

A prodigious intellect and abundantly talented polymath, James is a comic, chess master, entrepreneur, investor and prolific writer with over twenty books to his name, including the Wall Street Journal bestseller Choose Yourself. He's also a fellow podcaster and an unconventional thinker with an idiosyncratic lens on pretty much everything from creativity to finances.

James and his writing have appeared in major media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The New York Observer, Techcrunch, and The Financial Times. His blog, JamesAltucher.com, has attracted more than 20 million readers since its launch in 2010. And The James Altucher Show ⁠regularly appears in the top 100 podcasts on iTunes.

On the subject of self-experimentation, James' latest unconventional move was releasing his latest self-published book, Think Like a Billionaire, on Scribd.

Most compelling is James' relentless devotion to constant reinvention. Making his fourth appearance on the podcast, today we explore the importance of this trait ⁠and the habits that enable you to adapt and thrive in rapidly changing times ⁠— more critical now than ever.

Recorded pre-pandemic in mid-February, this conversation is the last in my stash of episodes banked before quarantine.

Nonetheless, I suspect you will find our discourse highly applicable to our current moment -- packed with tactics and strategies you can deploy to better acclimate to the rapidly changing circumstances that face us all.

It's about how to make better decisions. And ultimately, how to create opportunity out of calamity.

The visually inclined can watch it all go down on YouTube. And as always, the audio version streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

James is one of my most favorite people. He’s a natural and gifted conversationalist, his ideas are easily deciphered, and packed with the perfect amount of humor and data-backed insight.

To some degree, we are all being called to reinvent ourselves right now. May this conversation help serve that process.

Peace + Plants,
