The James Altucher Show

How To #33

James Altucher interviews the world’s leading peak performers in every area of life. But instead of giving you the typical success story, James digs deeper to find the “Choose Yourself” story—these are the moments we relate to… when someone rises up from personal struggle to reinvent themselves. The James Altucher Show brings you into the lives of peak-performers: billionaires, best-selling authors, rappers, astronauts, athletes, comedians, actors, and the world champions in every field, all who forged their own paths, found financial freedom and harnessed the power to create more meaningful and fulfilling lives.

    I agree that obesity is a problem with our kids but when Michelle Obama tried to address this she was told to leave our kids alone. She tried to introduce more vegetables in school lunch. I highly doubt he will be able to change anything. He just wants power like they all do.

    Learning so much from James! Everything from life lessons to business, each podcast is packed with valuable information that is highly entertaining, inspiring, witty, and honest. It’s become a daily listen whenever I have free time.

    Apparently I Support Hamas
    According to James, if i have sympathy for innocent people dying, I support terrorism. Shame to see such an intellectual, succumb to zealotry.

    Major disappointment
    I am so disappointed. I never leave reviews. But the constant emails inspired me to join a presentation on a stock market disruption. I listen for over an hour without any option to fast-forward or rewind. Right when he was about to announce the information I was listening for my phone messed up and I lost the screen. There was no way to get back in and because I started at 9 AM. I missed the 10 AM deadline to get back into the over one hour presentation. Please reach out to me.

    Grateful to discover Altucher
    Hi James, I stumbled upon you last week in the Paradigm Press group. From the start, I found you to be fascinating. I appreciate the way you communicate, your humility, heart, drive and experience. And I love that you share it with all of us! Just listened to Podcast with Hal Elrod. I am going to give my son a copy of The Miracle Morning! And revisit my own practice, as it has helped me greatly. Much love!!

    Always interesting, great interviewer
    I’ve been following James for quite a while now, and these interviews/conversations are always REALLY interesting! Love the books too❣️. Great show! 🫶🏻
  • MauraX2
    Always interesting
    I enjoy the diverse topics on this show. It’s one of my all-time favorite podcasts.
  • ERusakova
    R.J. Kennedy podcast.
    I’m so happy that you finally released this episode. It’s about time you not afraid of controversy. This episode late - but it’s still relevant to the issues of vaccines. Highly recommend. I am glad to see another candidate for president. I’m not a democrat or republican - I will consider his candidacy- I hope he survives- course he bring all the “hot issues to the table” - which is now most people realize that our government is not functioning well… to say the least …
  • BrEpicBreen
    One of the best shows … period
    James is a genius and he is the best interviewer … what I like best about him is he asks tough questions and plays devils advocate many times … he challenges guests … also I love his vulnerability and how he shares the dark moments of entrepreneurial life … this is a must-listen-to show …

    10 ideas a day
    James Altucher has great ideas! Biggest takeaway is building idea muscle by coming up with 10 ideas a day. Love your infectious excitable motivating positive energy James!
  • Ameila Heredia
    Extremely disappointed to hear Tony Robbins guest
    Tony Robbins is a cult like “leader” with a documented and embarrassing history of discrimination, misinformation and selling snake oil health remedies. He spreads misinformation about Covid and vaccines. It’s EMBARRASSING you would invite him on your show. You’re probably getting a cut of whatever crap he’s selling now. Shame on you James for having this man on, you’ve lost the trust of your listeners for good.
  • bilbrandon
    Chemistry
    The “Millionaire” series is informative, fun, and entertaining as intended. But, Jen, Jay, and James have a real chemistry that could translate to any podcast format. It’s like being in a diner and sitting next to this table of three people who couldn’t be more different, but seem like old friends. I want to pull up a chair. Please keep it going.
  • corey nelson
    James is so open to new things
    Even though James always apologizes up front to his guests that he is a serial interrupter (and he is), it's his clear curiously and openness to try new things that make this one of my top podcasts that keeps me engaged. Always a winner.

    10/10 Highly Recommend
    10/10 Highly recommend… we should be paying you for this knowledge. Seriously Thank You!!! You’ve changed my mindset.

    JFC stop interrupting your guests
    I wanted to like this but couldn’t even finish the interview with Mary Karr. She’s one of my favorite writers, and so it would have been nice to actually hear her speak. 🙄 I don’t care if it’s an East Coast thing or what, it’s so rude to constantly interrupt people like that. I cannot listen to it.
  • Jsg122$$$&@
    Please stop the part 1 part 2 splitting of episodes
    This new thing of splitting your episodes into 2 parts adds no value, it makes it much more annoying - especially while driving. What value is It to me??? Answer - NONE! If you are going to change things please make it better, not more annoying, difficult or just plain stupid! You are making the line L O N G E R with this stupid part 1 part 2 cut. Just stop doing it. Thank you Jon
  • Camille Virginia
    Refreshing depth and vulnerability
    I've been a fan of James' for years, and was honored to be featured in an edition of The Altucher Report on how to create meaningful connections. James' transparency about his own rise and fall…and rise and fall…and rise again… is so refreshing - and he brings the same openness and transparency to his interviews. Every episode is a beautiful reminder that no successful person got to where they are without struggle and failure - and if they can make life what they want to, so can you.
  • KKJaxson
    Liven up your commute
    Intriguing guests and topics paired with the curiosity of James Altucher make this a routinely fascinating podcast
  • Alex J Sanfilippo
    Incredible show
    James is someone I consistently learn from. He brings people that he learns from onto this show. In turn, I learn even more, faster. Thank you James!

    My Favorite Podcast
    This is by far my favorite podcast. The amount of work/research James does to prepare for each episode is so evident in the questions he asks his guests. And you can tell the guests are impressed as well. James listens to what the guests are saying, but more importantly- he listens to what isn’t being said. Each episode is packed with so much value. Cannot recommend enough. Craig S.

    Great Guest and Curious Host
    James has a childlike curiosity which I appreciate, and asks the simple questions to make the most complex topics easy to understand. Great Podcast!

    Top Notch Podcast
    Listening to this podcast has been an incredible learning experience for me. Highly recommend for anyone into entrepreneurship and trying to find a new perspective for things in the business routine

    An Informed Perspective
    I’ve been listening to James on my drive to and from work and keep coming back for his insightful commentary and connections to authorities in each field he discusses. He helps expand my thinking and I’ve learned a lot about business in the process - I’m actually using some of his ideas in a business I’m launching. Definitely worth the listen, can’t wait to see what he does next!

    My Favorite podcast
    I have tried to listen to other podcasts but I always come back to this one. I’ve learned so much and continue to learn. I’ve read books I might not ever have thought to look at because of this podcast. James has great guest and asks great questions, questions I would want to ask his guests. And it’s funny too!! Keep doing what you do!
  • karim mounir
    Great show and a daily must listen
    If we could listen more from people living unconventional lives, choosing to live outside the norms of a 9-5 job, living off the grid, not having money as a key factor or decision making variable to be able to live a more free life.
  • DrewSchenck
    Excellent podcast. A giant among peers
    I highly recommend listening to the James Altucher podcast. I believe if I write him a good enough review he’ll invite me to Clubhouse LOL it really is a good podcast. I listen to every episode. This is my feeble attempt to ‘skip the line’ 😃
  • Don from Virginia
    A New Low
    I can deal with some profanity in the course of a podcast. But the recent comment James made during his Investing podcast was horrible. It was the most sexist and vile derogatory comment I’ve ever heard on a podcast and directed at, of all people, HIS WIFE!! I stopped in the middle of my run and turned it off. I’m removing James from my library.
  • Kodak8822
    Love the Podcast! Can’t stand Stephen Gundry
    Hey! Love your podcast, thanks for all you do!!! Listening to the Stephen Gundry episode now and, gotta say, I hate this guy! Enough with the personification please! Just talk to me like an adult and give me the science. I don’t know, all I hear is noise when I listen to him. It seems like he just wants to sell a book or two while guys like Andrew Huberman give it to ya straight! Anyway, sorry for the rant on Gundry. Take care and thanks again for all the interviews and content. Love it! (Even if I don’t always care for the interviewee 😏)
  • WritersRoe
    Femme Fan!
    I’m a huge fan! I’ve probably listened to almost every episode. I find this podcast enlightening, inspiring, comforting, expansive and deliberate. I find James and most of his guests to be honest, reasonable, free thinking, curious and ingenious. There is one one reason I didn’t give 5 full stars. I do however think he may be missing the opportunity to bring more women into his show and ‘tribe’. He could help more women connect to the messages he is sharing by amplifying more female voices. Women maneuver through this world differently and more uniquely than men do in almost every way. The inspiring insight that James’ guests share may also be valuable coming from a female empowered voice. Some females to consider are Soleil Moon Frye, Bethany Frankel, Alyssa Milano, Issa Rae, Sophia Amoruso, Margaret Atwood, Deborah Levy, Fran Lebowitz, Dolly Alderton, Kate Atkinson, Naomi Alderman, Betty White, Ali Wong, Tina Fey, Leslie Jones, Elaine Welteroth, Laura Wasser, Cheryl Strayed, Ina Garten and Ava DuVernay. The list of empowering females extends from here and I encourage James to engage in conversations with some of these women to expand his audience and tribe. I will always be listening and I hope to hear some of these voices amplified. Thank you James for always inspiring my day.

    QUALITY PRODUCTION
    I love this podcast!! So very informative yet funny and entertaining. I appreciate how James is egoless yet points out his frailties and shortcomings on the road to “success”. I recently started reading “Skip The Line” and have been educated and entertained. Keep up the Great Work James!! Subscribe, if you haven’t subscribed.

    Better than a degree
    An ever evolving podcast that continuously delivers great content. New episodes are great and the archive is a well of knowledge.

    James is The Real Reason!
  • King1012933
    Great podcast I’ve been listening for years now
    James as a suggestion, could you look into getting top performing visual artist on your podcast. Could be painters, sculptors, kinetic Artist.Could be fun. Keep up the good work. Doug
  • JillSaid
    Choose Yourself
    James Altucher has really given me a lot of confidence I needed to choose myself, and I don’t know if I ever would have taken such an exciting step without this encouraging and informative podcast.
  • BuffaloAlex
    Love it!
    James is innovative and curious and I find his podcast useful and inspiring to learn from many top performers. Highly recommended! I’d give it 5 stars on Yelp ;)
  • Bbg123
    Just do it.
    James is one of the best interviewers of all time in any category. I’ve been reading his blog for over 10 years and his podcast is just as good. Such a unique person doing such a good thing.
  • KWoeVAman
    One of my favorites
    Every adult should listen to this podcast. Great info and fantastic interviews. I learn something from every episode. James is fantastic!
  • rk123
    Diverse guests
    Always good diverse group of guests. Very conversational
  • J-writes
    Informative
    This has sneakily become one of my favorites. Great guests but the solo shows and side hustle shows are great too. Extremely useful content that can be applied immediately. He’s great at breaking down bigger topics. Financially, James has an interesting view ...he’s been to the top and to the bottom and back...he’s not afraid to let you learn from his mistakes...and it’s neat to see things from his perspective.
  • Checkmate master
    Brilliant
    Optimistic, upbeat. When will James be orange-pilled? Chess Mindset Business Creativity Invest in yourself Comedy And on and on James Altucher’s podcast is helpful. I how he keeps on investigating cutting edge innovations and interviews Michael Saylor or Max Keiser or Dr. John Demartini.
