684: James Altucher - Proven Strategies for Getting Ahead in Life While Doing the Things You Actually Love

<p>As I've navigated shifts in my career over the past decade, James Altucher is a trusted voice I've turned to many times for insight and wisdom on how to start from scratch when I left a decade long career in the software industry to get started in Christian publishing, a space where I had little to no traction.</p> <p>James has been to the school of hard knocks, losing multiple fortunes and building his way back up from the bottom. His new book <a href="https://amzn.to/39QT96v" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><em>Skip the Line</em></a>, distills the best lessons he's learned along the way.</p> <p>In the interview, we talk about the impact hosting a podcast has had in James' life, how to decide whether you should self-publish or traditionally publish a book, the importance of sticking to a daily practice, why you need to write down ten new ideas every day, and so much more.</p> <p>James has long been on my podcast guest bucket list.
