1:00:41

A Note from James: So I gave a little talk at the Full Stack Business Builder Conference. Basically, a conference for entrepreneurs, VCs, technologists, aspiring entrepreneurs.

Notes from James: Here’s the truth: if my great-great-great grandfather had written anything—just 10 pages about his daily life—I’d treasure it like gold. And I promise, your great-grandkids will feel the same about your story. You don’t need to be a celebrity to write something that matters. You just need to be honest. Whether you're sharing how y…

18d ago43:16

43:16

A Note from James: I can't think of anything more boring to talk about than tariffs, but right now, I can't think of anything more interesting either. Tariffs are dominating the news, stock markets are crashing, and everyone is scared. Are tariffs good or bad? Is Trump wrecking the economy or saving it? I'm going to address these questions, looking…

"Nomadic Matt" Kepnes on Traveling the World for $75 a Day 58:02

1M ago58:02

58:02

A Note from James: Is it possible to travel around the world, live around the world, do remote work anywhere you want, and spend just $75 a day or less? When I was younger, I wish I'd tried this. Back then, you probably could have done it for even less, maybe $30 a day! Today's guest, Matt Kepnes—better known as Nomadic Matt—has spent decades trave…

1:51:08

A Note from James I had such a great conversation with my good friend, Sun Yi on his podcast, called Authentic as F*ck, and I felt like I had to say the full name of the podcast because I wanna be authentic.

The Truth about Tariffs: The Ultimate Guide to Busting Inflation Myths 25:27

2M ago25:27

25:27

Notes from James: I’ve been seeing a ton of misinformation lately about tariffs and inflation, so I had to set the record straight. People assume tariffs drive prices up across the board, but that’s just not how economics works. Inflation happens when money is printed, not when certain goods have price adjustments due to trade policies. I explain w…

27:29

Notes from James: What if I told you that we could eliminate the IRS, get rid of personal income taxes completely, and still keep the government funded? Sounds impossible, right?

Is Fort Knox Empty!? | News You Might Have Missed 31:17

2M ago31:17

31:17

A note from James: I love digging into topics that make us question everything we thought we knew. Fort Knox is one of those legendary places we just assume is full of gold, but has anyone really checked?

How Anyone Can Make Their First Million, James Altucher on My First Exit 1:13:09

2M ago1:13:09

1:13:09

A Note from James: You know what drives me crazy? When people say, "I have to build a personal brand." Usually, when something has a brand, like Coca-Cola, you think of a tasty, satisfying drink on a hot day. But really, a brand is a lie—it's the difference between perception and reality. Coca-Cola is just a sugary brown drink that's unhealthy for …

57:47

A Note from James: So we have a brand new president of the United States, and of course, everyone has their opinion about whether President Trump has been good or bad, will be good and bad.

Inside the JFK Conspiracy: How Brad Meltzer Unearthed a Forgotten Assassination Plot 43:51

43:51

A Note from James: Probably no president has fascinated this country and our history as much as John F. Kennedy, JFK.

4M ago49:29

49:29

A Note from James: The world's completely changing. Young people, including my five kids, are no longer planning on that one-job, one-career trajectory where you start at General Motors or Procter & Gamble and retire 45 years later with a gold watch. Instead, they’re hustling. They're building side hustles, working from home, and finding ways to ma…
