I’m a sociopath. Or a narcissist. Or a fraud. A scam. A con. A criminal. A bad son. Asperger’s. Money is my “religion”. “Crazy!” It’s a good thing everyone else is so perfect. That way after I upset them they can tell me very clearly what I am. My friend recently was broken up with […]

A big thanks to “Wealthy Gorilla” for collecting these 29 quotes that inspired him from my writing. It was nice to be reminded of some of the things I’ve written over the years. So I’m sharing them below. — 1.) “Always say to yourself, I’d rather be healthy than right. Because the infection of someone […]

As I’m writing this, I’m about to interview Justice Sonia Sotomayor. The first time a Supreme Court Justice has ever been on a podcast. The first, first time. As usual, I am very nervous. I’m terrified. I’ve done 500 episodes of “The James Altucher Show” and maybe 1,000 other podcasts but I still get nervous […]

Let me tell you about the worst text I got since publishing my phone number online (and eight other questions from this interview)… 1. With such a varied career, how do you primarily see yourself? As a writer, an entrepreneur, something else…? Entrepreneurship is too painful. I’ve started over 18 businesses, failed at 16 of […]
