On this week's show, James' special guest is A.J. Jacobs, a journalist, lecturer, self-described human guinea pig and author of four New York Times bestsellers.
 
In this episode, he shares life-changing tips about how to improve your business, become healthier, and live better.
 
You see, A.J. has spent years conducting the wackiest "experiments" we've ever heard of to see what he could learn.
 
You won't believe the crazy things he has done!
 
James and A.J. discuss how to generate great ideas... and the importance of exercising the "idea muscle" in your brain. The very act of generating 40 different ideas literally made A.J. millions of dollars.
 
Other things you'll learn when you listen to this show include:
