James Altucher

We have another fan favorite returning to The School of Greatness!

Reinvent Yourself and Create the Future

He’s a big podcaster, a massively successful author and blogger, a genius in business, and one of the most down to earth guys I know.

Yes, James Altucher is back for his 4th episode!

He’s coming out with a new book, which we dive into in this interview, and also has made some big lifestyle shifts that are fascinating.

I love talking to James because he is such a straight-shooter, but also because he always gets me to think differently about my life and the assumptions I’m making.

James’ newest book is all about reinventing yourself, and we ended up talking about an example from my own life of doing this.

It got me thinking about all the times I’ve chosen to reinvent myself and the value I’ve seen as a result. There’s no way I would have gotten to where I am today without being willing to reinvent several times.

So whether or not you’re ready for a change, listen up to why it might be exactly what you’re needing to do in Episode 425 with James Altucher.
