The James Altucher Show

People say not reading the news = being "uninformed." I disagree. I read books (history books, biology books, evolutionary books, economics books, etc.). But now, we live in a new world. And yesterday's information can become outdated tomorrow. So that begs the question, how do you stay informed? I called up Jack Perry, CEO of Synback, which has its finger on the pulse of all media to learn WHERE real information will be sourced in the future. And how to stay in the know.

The world economy is full of uncertainties. People are furloughed. Or scared of being furloughed. Or fired. Or scared of losing their job. Security isn't real right now. So we need other plans. I called up Matthew Berry, the first-ever Fantasy Sports analyst. Matthew basically invented a new industry and career entirely back in 2005. I wanted to learn the step-by-step process of starting over in uncertain times. And how we can apply these lessons today. I don't know anything about sports (real or fake). But if you're a fan of Fantasy Football, then good news for you. You can watch Matthew Berry on "The Fantasy Show" on EPSN+. You can listen to him on the Fantasy Focus Football podcast and download the Fantasy Life app, which is 100% free and Matt says their alerts are the best in the business.

Facts are only facts for a period of time. This is true in science, in history, in economics, everywhere. But sometimes we forget that information changes. We get stuck thinking it's stagnant. And then WE become stagnant. But if you can look at facts and information from an alternate perspective (through the lens of a rocket science), you'll know how to get unstuck, persuade better, deal with uncertainty, have creative breakthroughs and more. In this episode you'll learn how Einstein (and other geniuses) learned to think differently). And why this will help you deal with the current fluctuation of facts and information. Ozan Varol is a trained rocket scientist and the author of "Think Like a Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life." In this episode we talk about: How Einstein learned to think differently How to deal with unclear information and uncertain times Where scientific (and creative) breakthroughs come from (and strategies to have them more often yoursel

I promise this episode will make you smarter. I've wanted Matt Ridely on the podcast my whole life. He's a major influence on my brain. Every time I read his books, I physically feel my IQ increase. His new book is "How Innovation Works: And Why It Flourishes in Freedom." And I'm already on my third read of it. Here's a break down of what we talk about: How to think like an innovator Why you don't need pre-approved credentials to have an attention-worthy point of view How to develop evidence that backs your outlook in life How to overcome credentials bias How to overcome confirmation bias How to measure if your point of view and create new arguments The difference between scientists and innovators Who's qualified to predict the future and who ISN'T And more that will help you think critically, strategically and innovatively I write about all my podcasts!

Yancey Strickler is hte founder and former CEO of Kickstarter. And he's the author of a great new book, "This Could Be Our Future," which gives a new values-driven way of looking at entrepreneurship.

Business is changing. And so is investing. Risk is higher these days. And people want predictions. But no one really knows. You can't predict something that's never happened before... You can only look at what's possible. So I called up Sam Parr. He founded The Hustle, an 8-figure company that started with an email. And NOW The Hustle has a new arm, which I'm really excited about: trends.co which tells you HOW trends are changing in real-time. It's run by a team of analysts and entrepreneurs who scour global markets for opportunities to help you make money and build businesses successfully. Definitely check them out. And Sam surprised me at the end with a special gift for our listeners so I hope you enjoy. Thanks, - James I write about all my podcasts!

Everyone remembers Ray J from the song "One Wish." His voice is beautiful. And he's well known. But at some point, he took a turn. Music stopped being his main focus.

Part of enjoying life is taking care of your brain. We're all starting to realize life is short. That's a side effect of this virus. So I wanted to invite Dr. Andrew Huberman (one of the world's leading neuroscientists) back on to tell us how to create happy chemicals in our brains (naturally) and feel good more often. Here's a list of what we talk about: how to optimize your brain to be as happy as possible, as energetic as possible and as smart as possible how to create more happy chemicals human evolution and why our brain functions the way it does the purpose of serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and how to create each of these daily why gratitude helps us slow down and connect different mental health drugs and supplements the power of sunlight cocaine how to train your brain to focus what causes good sleep puberty books we recommend How to shake off the residue of the day neotropics and more And if you want to learn more from Dr. Andrew Huberman, check out his Instagram account, @hubermanlab, which bring

John McAfee is a billionaire on the run from the government. He owes millions in taxes. And has strange and somewhat dangerous opinions on government, coronavirus, public safety, etc. (you'll see what I'm talking about). But some of his insights are worth debating. You'll hear what a totally insane person running from the government thinks about the current state of the world. And if you're asking yourself why his name is so familiar, it's because he started McAfee Associates, the anti-viral software you have on all your computers. Here's what we talked about: tax evasion the wild west running from your country people who think for themselves vs. people who don't think at all the media coronavirus and quarantine inflation The French Revolution And more.

The government doesn't innovate. But Coronavirus is forcing it too. A lot of things have to change. Right vs. left. Voting stations vs remote voting. School lunches that lead to high rates of diabetes and sickness. Healthcare costs, and more. Congressman Tim Ryan is one of the few names I see proposing bills progressively in this time. He's sharp. And funny. And gets what people need. I asked him to walk us through what's broken and how this virus is helping to lead us to a better, reformed America. I write about all my podcasts!

Joe De Sena worked for the mafia. He learned a lot from them. But then he realized you can make more money doing good. So he switched lives. Which is something a lot of people want to learn.

The White House called up Mark Cuban. They want him to help figure out how to open the economy back up. And give people their jobs, their income and access to opportunity. So I called him up to hear the plan. How will the U.S. government reopen to economy? And what should aspiring entrepreneurs do now? Here are some of the questions I asked: "Are you running for president?" "How do we avoid a Mad Max situation?" "What changes will we see in the near future? And down the road?" "How do we protect people from coronavirus while still getting back to work? What precautions will businesses have to take?" "Why did the fed give so much money to the airlines?" "Why is the market going up?" "What does innovation and entrepreneurship look like in the new normal?" And more I write about all my podcasts!

This is my networking hack: I dig through my inbox. Find an email chain from eight years ago (that I probably never responded to). Then I write back as if no time has passed at all. People love it. They forgive you for disappearing. And they're glad you got in touch. But that's my ONLY networking tip. Jordan Harbinger is the complete opposite networker than me. He's an expert at it. He's built thousands of relationships that have led to a top podcast, 6 million monthly downloads, speaking gigs, freedom to work for himself, be creative daily and more. In this episode, he tells me how he keeps track of people, build relationships, re-engages old, lost connections and what you can techniques you can use in your life starting now.

Everyone says, "Flatten the curve." But there are two curves. We all know the main one: the spread of coronavirus. The other curve is the spread of psychological viruses; fear, anxiety, worry and panic. We're all experiencing Maslow's hierarchy of needs. We started out attacking each other for basic items like toilet paper, then we moved on to connection (Zoom calls and FaceTime), but how do we get to the top of the pyramid (i.e. self-actualization)? I called up Scott Barry Kaufman, a humanistic psychologist and author of "Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization." And he had a lot of practical advice. One of his tips: We don't have to worry about finding our one true purpose. We just need to find a purpose right now and pursue it. This episode will help make a roadmap for finding your purpose and fulfillment while stuck in Quarantine. And after. I write about all my podcasts!
