I’m an entrepreneur and angel investor. I’ve achieved the rank of chess master. And I’m the author of the Wall Street Journal best-selling book “Choose Yourself.” I’ve started 20 companies, 17 of which have failed. But I’ve learned a lot along the way.
If you’ve ever been stuck—in a job you hate, in a house you can’t afford, in a life you don’t want, in your own depressed mind, anything— I want to help you.
Why? Because I get it. I’ve been there. And I want to tell you how I freed myself so maybe you can start to free yourself, too.
That was many years ago and a lot has happened since then. I now get to do what I love every day. I get to write books that mean something to me, and I get to share my thoughts on this blog. I get to interview really incredible people on my top-10 rated podcast, “The James Altucher Show.” I contribute articles to sites like The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo! Finance, and Business Insider.
And it’s all in pursuit of my greatest mission: to help other people choose themselves, too.

Although I don’t consider myself in the “entrepreneur” category of podcasts, I am grateful to be on this attached list. People often think being an entrepreneur is about risk […]

I wanted to see women naked. But I was too ugly. I was 12. I had a cyst so big I could Airbnb it out if I had it now. I had acne all over my face. My hair was tangled like dreadlocks. My glasses were huge and bent. I had braces and metal all […]
Since I launched my top-10 rated podcast back in 2014, it has millions of listeners and has gotten nearly 40 million downloads.
On my podcast, I get to talk to some of the greatest Choose Yourselfers, innovators, and peak performers in the world, including Mark Cuban, Coolio, Arianna Huffington, and Peter Thiel.
I’ve talked to authors, artists, rappers, billionaires, drug dealers, astronauts—all who forged their own paths, found financial freedom, and harnessed the power to create meaningful and fulfilling lives.
This is a good episode to start with…
