About This Episode: There was a time when James Altcuher was losing a million dollars a week… In just a few months, his bank account went from $15 million to $143. Also he was in the middle of a divorce. He had to sell his apartment. He had nowhere to live, no job, no friends to turn to. Then he began to realize something: success in today’s world ONLY happens you choose yourself. And when he began to understand that, little by little, he started to pull himself off the floor. That was many years ago and a lot has happened since then. He now gets to do what he loves every day. He gets to write books that mean something to him, and he gets to share his thoughts on his blog. He gets to interview really incredible people on his top-10 rated podcast, “The James Altucher Show.” He contributes articles to sites like The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo! Finance, and Business Insider. And it’s all in pursuit of his greatest mission: to help other people choose themselves, too.
