The James Altucher Show

Other than eating and breathing, persuasion is the most important skill you could have. Because a pre-skill to persuasion is the ability to understand yourself and other enough to create a chain reaction of changes in life. Persuasion is what sets us up to have agency in the world. And there's a specific, 5-step framework that lets you understand how to be more persuasive in your everyday life. So I'm having Jonah Berger on the show. He's a professor at Wharton, a bestselling author and now he has a new book, "The Catalyst: How to Change Anyone's Mind." I write about all my podcasts!

Dan Carlin hosts the #1 history podcast, "Hardcore History." It has a cult following. For a lot of reasons: 1. Dan has an incredible voice. 2. his research is so weird and extensive and detailed. And 3. Dan is known for breaking rules. He went around the standard path. And decided that he didn't need to have a history degree or some pre-approved "credentials" to create the best history show out there. He just went ahead and did it. So I have him on today to find out how he gave himself permission to do what he loves. Despite all the reasons not to... So that we can give ourselves that same permission and start to do what we love. ? I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast.

People are starting to lose jobs. And gigs. And become uncertain. Uncertainty brings up fear. Which is a pandemic on its own. I keep saying, "Prepare. Don't Panic." And so do my guests. So today, I interview economist Tyler Cowen. I ask him about the stimulus package, the job market, inflation, deflation, supply and demand, what the world will look like if people keep losing work. How we can get back to work. When is it safe? Flattening the curve, and more. And if you like this update, please let us know. So we can keep bringing you information that spreads peace. Over fear.

We could all use kindness all the time. But we need it now more than ever. I asked Lewis Howes for his advice. But we recorded this a few weeks back. Before the world's pandemic. I'm glad I'm releasing it now. Because it's the best time to remember how to love people. And then DO it. And if you like this episode, make sure to check out Lewis' podcast, "The School of Greatness" Also, I've been getting great feedback on how these episodes around the coronavirus are helping people make sense in a really confusing time.

Medicine is changing everyday. We're all seeing this unfold right now. In front of our eyes. Some of the changes seems unreal. So I called up the expert of genetic engineering, Jamie Metlz to tell us what's a reality and what's science fiction. I wanted to learn what immunities we can develop? How is the current pandemic reshaping the future of medicine? And beyond that we talk about our global responsibility to reshape society. A lot of people are going to lose their jobs. And a lot of people already have. So how do you find your way in this new world? What can we do to land on our feet when the dust settles? I asked Jamie because he wasn't always a tech futurist or genomics expert. He started out as a writer. And switched careers because interest led him there. We have the opportunity to chase our interests now in a new way. Also, I've been getting great feedback on how these episodes around the coronavirus are helping people make sense in a really confusing time. So thanks for your support. Right now,

How do we know when something is wrong with us? I want to understand the testing process we have for COVID19. I want to understand "symptomatic" cases vs. "asymptomatic" cases. And who's data should we trust? So I called David Sinclair. He runs The Sinclair Lab at Harvard Medical School and is the New York Bestselling author of "Lifespan: Why We Age?and Why We Don't Have To." I also want to know how do I build up my immune systems? What steps can I take RIGHT NOW? And how do I keep this going over time? And what's going on with testing for COVID19? What are the numbers? And why are they off? David breaks this down. And he explains which coronavirus tests are bringing us into the future of science and biology. He'll also help you understand who's at risk (everyone). And how to protect yourself. AND how to protect others. Because we're in this together. Also, I've been getting great feedback on how these episodes around the coronavirus are helping people make sense in a really confusing time. So thanks for yo

I saw this line "How about some good news for a change." It was the first line in an article by Peter Diamandis, Founder & Executive Chairman of XPRIZE. The article is on his website, diamandis.com and I highly recommend checking it out. I emailed him as soon as I saw it. "Come on my podcast." And he did the next day. Because the world needs good news right now that can help us see the end of this pandemic, the truth in the numbers, and data and how to protect ourselves without panic.

For better or for worse a lot of people are not working right now. And that's going to be a serious issue in the economy. So, for anybody listening, I really stress this one thing: focus on making the right investments everyday in YOURSELF. Right now, with all this extra time, we get to learn who we are again. We get to learn new skills online. And offline. We get to be curious about old passions, try new things, get close with our kids or parents or partners, rediscover your family, etc. And if we look hard enough, we'll even find new business opportunities, or ways to help people, or get smarter. And more. So, for this episode, I called up Alex Lieberman, CEO and founder of Morning Brew, which is the only newsletter I read in the morning. I asked him about this excellent list he put together "THE ULTIMATE QUARANTINE GUIDE TO 'WHAT DO I DO NOW?'" You'll hear what's on the list. And how to make the most of your time right now. I'd love to hear which suggestions you like the most. And how you choose to spend

Everyone believes their own opinion. Fact based. Or not. We're all (somehow) political "experts." But the truth no one really knows anything. It's all speculation. But you put your opinion to the test if you get skin in the game. Which is possible now thanks to John Phillips who co-founded the site PredictIt.org. I go on there to place bets on everything from how many tweets Trump is going to make on a particular day or around a specific news event to who will win the primary. And who will win the election. The site is great because it lets you see how right you really are. And you can make real wealth if you're right. It's not just betting. It's more like a stock market. You want to buy low. And sell high. So I asked John on the podcast if he's ever seen people make $50,000 on the site. He didn't flinch, "Oh yeah. People have quit their jobs." I want to help people understand what's happening in the world right now. We're all scared. But we don't have to be. Let's get the information. And go from there. I c

"Don't believe the numbers you're seeing." This is Dr. Marty Makary's big message. The number of cases and deaths are radically underreported because a) we don't have tests, b) some countries are hiding their data, c) some people aren't showing symptoms yet, but have coronavirus and more. But listen. This podcast is not about fear. It's about knowledge and awareness and action. Right now, nobody really knows what's happening. Thew news and social media are giving us false predictions off "estimates" that don't even account for the thousands of people who can't get tested for COVID-19. Meanwhile, Amazon is out of toilet paper. People are signing their emails "Don't touch your face! Best, Joe." And I officially own two hazmat suits. But how do we really "flatten the curve?" This episode will give you the steps. And I also recorded a recap at the end to give you more of a summary. AND because this is so critical, I have a list of timestamps below. So you can rewind and fast-forward for the stats that you want

Jim McKelvey is the co-founder of Square and the founder of Invisibly. I wanted to know HOW he got his direction. Because we all have ideas. But how do we know which ones to actually pursue and execute? How can we find the winners? The ones that will provide value. And profit. In this episode, Jim tells us which markets are underserved. And how to find executable business ideas that will give you a sizable return. And he just wrote a book "The Innovation Stack: Building an Unbeatable Business One Crazy Idea at a Time" If you like this episode, you'll also like episode 553 - How to Make Money by Buying an Established, Profitable Business Using None of Your Own Money with Carl Allen And Carl has a new book on this which you can get for 20% off at carlsbook.com/james I write about all my podcasts!

The macro formula for building a business with meaning looks like this: real relationships + belief + combining experiences + fixing a problem + adaptability + (I could keep going). But these are just words. Bill Glaser, founder of Outstanding Foods and my new favorite vegan snack (pigless pork rinds) has stories. He'll tell us how convinced a handful of strategic investors to say "yes" all at once, partnered with Snoop Dogg, found a hole in the market and turned it into an opportunity & more.

There are new Coronavirus updates! I was sitting at home, and I am nervous just thinking about them.

I'm not political. But I'm interested in studying human behavior, history, marketing, what drives decision making, the power of money, perception, persuasion... that's what an election is. It's a soup. So I brought Phillip Stutts back on the show to dissect what's going to define the 2020 election. He's worked on 3 winning presidential campaigns, several governor races, senate races, AND he's also worked on losing campaigns. Which is important. Because that's how you learn your field and get better. --- I get a lot of emails from people asking how to make extra money. Or how to make a meaningful impact in life. Or both.

Kamal went to Nepal to live with monks. But most people can't do this. So I had him come on to teach me what they taught him. I recorded this episode BEFORE Kamal's trip, though. So we can compare. Before and after. Here's the before. Later, we'll hear how the monks taught Kamal how to feel less anxious. And escape the mental pain that comes from our daily inner conflicts.
