    IG Q&A - Retail Investing "Masterclass"

    IG Q&A - Retail Investing "Masterclass"

    IG Live is back! Back in March 2020 when the lockdown started, I started doing IG Live to translate what's going on in the news, the lockdown, the economy, the virus, and I also figured people needed some entertainment as well. But back in August 2020, there's rarely news about the economy, viruses, and I also experience social media burnt out as well, so I stopped doing them.

    However, now IG LIVE IS BACK AGAIN! There was a lot of movement in the stock market, GameStop incident created a wave of new retail investor who has no idea what and how to invest and/or buying stock. In this episode, Robyn and I sat down to talk about the "What" and the "How" in retail investing!

    697 - Think About Probable Impossibilities with Alan Lightman

    Another bucket list guest checked off my list! I have one of my idols, Alan Lightman, an American physicist, writer, and social entrepreneur, to talk about his new book, Probable Impossibilities, and also one of his older books, Einstein's Dreams. We also talked about Alan's constant self-reinvention. His best quote that stuck with me is, "People should reinvent themselves every 10 years."

    695 - How to Run For President (2.0) from the Campaign Manager's POV with Phillip Stutts

    695 - How to Run For President (2.0) from the Campaign Manager's POV with Phillip Stutts

    Last month, I wrote an article about why I really want to Run For President in 2024, and Why You Should Run for President. I strongly believe that the two political party system is out of date, and everyone should have a platform and everyone should have a voice! To try to make this come true, and I have on the former Presidential Campaign Manager, Phillip Stutts, to talk about how do one runs for President, what should the narrative and platform be? 

    Life should be full of experiments, and this will be one of the experiments that I will be doing!

    694 - Steven Pressfield: How do you find the "CODE" that you want to live your life by.

    694 - Steven Pressfield: How do you find the "CODE" that you want to live your life by.

    "I sacrificed everything to do my writing" - Steven Pressfield said it in his first appearance on The James Altucher Show back in 2016, I didn't pursue the statement then.

    And now, Steven Pressfield, an American author of historical fiction, non-fiction, and screenplays, and also the author of one of my favorite books, The War of Art, comes on again to talk about this new book/ novel, MAN AT ARMS! This time, I used this opportunity to pursue the statement that he made in 2016. What does he mean by sacrificed everything to do his writing? On top of that, we also talked about character writing, development, film, and also how do you find the "CODE" that you want to live by!

QUALITY PRODUCTION

I love this podcast!! So very informative yet funny and entertaining. I appreciate how James is egoless yet points out his frailties and shortcomings on the road to “success”. I recently started reading “Skip The Line” and have been educated and entertained. Keep up the Great Work James!! Subscribe, if you haven’t subscribed.
