Highly Recommend 👍

I have been an avid podcast listener for many years, and I have to say that The James Altucher Show is one of the very best! James is an excellent host, having a sharp, curiosity driven mind, coupled with an engaging free flowing style that makes every show a joy to listen to. He has a wealth of experience in numerous diverse areas, which he draws from to give listeners deep, yet humble insight. He attracts stellar, high performing interviewees to the show and has meaningful and entertaining discussions with them on their struggles and successes in life. James is a best-selling author, who provides lots of entertainment, wisdom, and helpful advice. I highly recommend this show.

Game-changer!

This podcast has been my constant companion for four years now and it has not only saved my life but inspired me to take action towards my goal.

James is super articulate, honest, vulnerable, self deprecating and yet so generous with tons and tons of ideas.

The podcast has given me so many ideas, it’s actually ridiculous. I don’t know where James gets his energy or content from but 99.9% of the content is truly amazing and it has inspired me to try and keep up with my own content creation.

Plus it has the best audio quality of any podcast and I say that listening to the podcasts of many well know people.

If you want to make a shift in your life and are tired of the “gurus” out there, this podcast is the refreshing change you need.

Thank you James and keep doing what you do so well. 🙏

Best wishes,

Zac (from sunny Ireland)
