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!

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.

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!

Right now, the Federal Reserve is pumping trillions of dollars of stimulus into the economy. So what does this mean? How are small businesses doing? When will people go back to work? And how does this impact the economy? I called up Jim Mckelvey. He's the co-founder of the multi-billion dollar business, Square. AND, more importantly, he's the Deputy Chair of the St. Louis Federal Reserve. He tells us how the stimulus works, what the risks are, what we should keep an eye on and more. Jim is also the author of the new book, "The Innovation Stack: Building an Unbeatable Business One Crazy Idea at a Time." It's a great guide book for today's entrepreneurs.

People are losing their jobs. And schools have stopped functioning properly. The "normal" way of society is on pause. And we don't know for how long. So I'm posting this interview with Cal Fussman about reinvention. Because it's light-hearted. And helps you find your direction within. In this podcast, you'll hear creative ideas to learn and create and build success outside of the norm, which is exactly what we need to be doing right now. Also, I highly recommend Cal's podcast called "Big Questions." He's a world-renowned interviewer and has with guests who will repeatedly blow your mind like Bruce Lee, Kobe Bryant, Larry King, me! And more. This episode is actually an episode from "Big Questions." So go check it out https://www.calfussman.com/podcast I write about all my podcasts!

AI used to be, what most people thought, was the biggest threat to our economic security. Now it's coronavirus. BUT one of the side effects of coronavirus is an acceleration of our future. Meaning that what used to seem like a "potential" truth (like robots stocking shelves, factories being automated, remote work, and so on) is all here faster than we had thought. So I brought on Kevin Surace to talk about these previous "future" predictions and show how they're happening now. AND we talk about what else we can foresee in a post coronavirus world. Kevin's been on the podcast before. He's an expert in A.I. He's built and sold AI companies and runs one right now. And he wrote this excellent article, "Our Post-COVID World," which you can read here https://medium.com/@kevinsurace/our-post-covid-world-ec3a30dc30b9 I write about all my podcasts!

I don't want to regret how I spend this time. But I also don't want to pressure myself to reinvent or write a book or create a business. I want to find the medium ground. How can I give to people who are struggling? Stay safe? And not get lost in fear? One way is to tackle the myths. Myths = fear and stupididity. So I sat down with my wife, Robyn, to talk about 13 coronavirus myths (ranging from unemployment rates, death rates, the future of work, etc.). We talk about how these 13 myths are impacting our behaviors. And what we can do differently to get enough rest, calm our minds and help take care of each other. I write about all my podcasts!

We're in lockdown. And we don't know how long it'll last. And we don't know what will come next. Mini lockdowns? Personal lockdowns? More social distancing? We don't know. So I wanted to put together a framework for how I should act during this lockdown... So I ask Jim Kwik, a brain coach with praise from Will Smith, Alex Rodriguez, Stan Lee, Quincy Jones, Maria Shriver and so many more. He also has a new book coming out soon that outlines these lessons.

Because his experience includes teaching Navy SEALs tools to manage chronic high-stress environments. And to make it all even more relevant, he explains the effects of isolation and social distancing AND how to start counteracting negative side effects to keep yourself in good spirits.
