-James Altucher, on protecting your downside
James Altucher’s story is by turns heartbreaking and inspiring. He’s an entrepreneur, chess master, best-seller writer and host of three high ranking podcasts, but what makes him so compelling isn’t his many successes: it’s his many failures and the candor in which he speaks about them. In a climate where so many of us do everything we can to polish out any chinks in our armor and paint a portrait of ourselves as flawless uber-humans, James presents himself as we all really are-- very human and very flawed.
The best lessons are often learned the hard way, and James shares his many lessons learned on his candid, quirky and personal blog The Altucher confidential (with over 25 million readers), in his 17 books (including WSJ and USA Today best-sellers: The Power of No and the motivational self published WSJ bestseller: Choose Yourself) and on his podcasts "The James Altucher Show" and "Question of the Day" together with Stephen J. Dubner (co-author of Freakonomics).
Chase welcomes James to 30 Days of Genius to talk about the habits that serve us and the habits that stifle us.
