Great interviews with inspiring people

James Altucher is a cool dude. He’s a total geek and very loveable. He asks great questions, always interrupting his prolific guests because of his excitement. I love this show but it would improve the show massively if they invested a few hundred bucks in proper equipment. Awesome show.
