Notes from James:When I turned 40, I was depressed. I checked the top 50 chess players and saw only one person around my age: Viswanathan Anand. That moment gave me hope.Episode Description:I met one of my lifelong heroes—five-time World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand—and got to sit down with him at the Norway Summit to unpack what it really takes to stay at the top… for four decades. We didn’t just talk about chess—we talked about life, legacy, improvement, and how to overcome self-doubt at any age.Vishy and I broke down how talent evolves, why confidence matters more than skill early on, and how he battled through plateaus, age, and even failure to remain among the world’s elite players—well into his 50s.

A Note from James:So I’ve been doing this podcast for a long time—over 1500 episodes—and I’ve spoken to everyone from billionaires to best-selling authors, athletes to entrepreneurs. But there are a handful of episodes that still ring in my ears years later. One of them was Episode 156 with Gary Vaynerchuk.I was just re-listening to it while pulling together notes for a potential book, and I realized this conversation is timeless. It’s not about hype. It’s about freedom. Gary’s blueprint—learn, build, create community, stay self-aware—is the real deal. No shortcuts. No tricks. Just pure, actionable wisdom. Whether you’re 23 or 53, if you're serious about building the life you want, this one’s worth a listen.Send it to your kids. Your friends. Your future self.Thanks again for listening.Episode Description:In this re-release of one of the most downloaded episodes of The James Altucher Show, James sits down with Gary Vaynerchuk just before the release of his book #AskGaryVee. What unfolds is a candid, highly tactical conversation about business, content creation, self-awareness, and the true meaning of entrepreneurship.Gary breaks down his framework for success—from selling wine via YouTube in the early 2000s to launching VaynerMedia and investing in Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. He also explains why patience, practicality, and micro-failure are essential ingredients for long-term freedom.This isn’t motivational fluff. It’s the strategy, mindset, and playbook of someone who’s been in the trenches—and is still hungry.What You’ll Learn:Why "entrepreneurship" is really just a path to freedom—not fast cashHow Gary made (and learned from) multiple startup failures in 2009Why content marketing is about sincerity, not SEO hacksHow to test new business ideas through arbitrage—like flipping Jets gear on AmazonA tactical breakdown of self-awareness (and how to get it from people you trust)Timestamped Chapters:[00:00] Leisure vs. Freedom: What You’re Really Trading[01:00] Recommending Competitors as a Sales Tactic[03:00] Early YouTube, Wine Library, and ROI Before Social Was “Social”[06:00] Entrepreneurship vs. Lifestyle Marketing[08:00] Ego, Confidence, and What Scares Gary Vee[10:00] The Trainwreck Year: 2009 and Four Failed Startups[12:00] Experiments, Micro-Failures, and Million-Dollar Misses[14:00] Offense vs. Defense in Business[15:00] Building Trust Through Sincerity in Content[18:00] Self-Awareness: Gary’s Most Important Entrepreneurial Trait[22:00] The Real Numbers: What It Means to Be in the 1%[25:00] Leisure Costs More Than You Think[29:00] Why Gary Loves Losing and Chasing More Than Winning[34:00] The Self-Awareness Dinner Party Hack[38:00] Redefining Success: From $213K to $87K and Happy[42:00] Clouds and Dirt: Finding Your North Star and Executing in the Weeds[43:00] The Arbitrage Blueprint: eBay to Amazon[47:00] Community Building Through Twitter and Micro-Engagement[49:00] Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook (And What People Get Wrong About It)[52:00] Avoiding Negative Energy in Business and Relationships[54:00] Tactical Social Media Growth: Commenting, Listening, Engaging[56:00] Scaling Beyond Arbitrage: Events, Podcasts, ProductsAdditional Resources:#AskGaryVee: One Entrepreneur's Take on Leadership, Social Media, and Self-Awareness (Amazon)Gary Vaynerchuk’s TwitterWine Library TV ArchivesVaynerMediaDailyVee on YouTubeOur Sponsors:Pack up and go even further with the Defender 110.

A Note from James:So the question is, I really feel that in order to get not good at something, but great at something, you have to be obsessed. You can't just wake up and decide to be obsessed—it has to be deep, almost irrational. Obsession is like addiction. It throws your life off balance, and yet... there’s this insane joy when you enter the subculture of your obsession and get better at it.I’ve seen this recently in crypto. I saw it in chess in Norway, commenting on what might’ve been the best chess tournament ever. And I felt it again when I sat down with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam from New In Chess.We didn’t just talk about chess. We talked about obsession, aging, failing at something you love, and trying to find your place in a subculture that’s moved on without you.If you care about learning, obsession, or just love chess, you’re going to get something out of this episode. Dirk and I recorded this in Stavanger, Norway. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did being a part of it.Episode Description:What does it mean to return to your first love after nearly 30 years away? In this special crossover episode, James Altucher sits down with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam, editor of New In Chess magazine, to reflect on his lifelong (and recently rekindled) obsession with chess. They explore how obsession shapes mastery, why wisdom sometimes trumps raw skill, and what it’s like to try and reclaim an old identity as an older version of yourself.James opens up about losing games to kids half his age, obsessively chasing improvement, and why it still might be okay to fail—as long as the journey is honest. From teenage blitz tournaments to dinner with Garry Kasparov, from neuroscience to narrative writing, this episode is as much about how to live as it is about how to play.What You’ll Learn:Why obsession is both a superpower and a dangerHow James approaches relearning chess after a 27-year breakWhat changes in the brain as we age—and how to work with itThe surprising ways chess opens doors in life, business, and writingWhy storytelling and vulnerability matter more than "success" aloneTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] The Power of Obsession[01:00] Travel Tales: Norway and Crypto[03:00] Chess Commentary and Podcasting with Dirk Jan[05:00] Dirk Jan's Intro on James Altucher[08:00] James' Curiosity and Love of Learning[10:00] Starting Chess at 17 and Becoming Addicted[13:00] Losing to Irena Krush and Facing Limits[17:00] Chess, Ego, and Real-World Consequences[22:00] How Chess Skills Apply to Business Problems[26:00] Writing as a Path Through Vulnerability[33:00] Returning to Chess: Memory, Aging, and Rediscovery[37:00] Eric Rosen, Coaches, and Mental Decline[41:00] Pattern Recognition vs. Calculation[47:00] What Makes Chess Players Unique[50:00] Interviewing Kasparov, Judit Polgar, Hikaru[56:00] Obsession and the Myth of Talent[58:00] Will the Book Get Written?[60:00] The James Altucher Invitational[62:00] Reflecting on the JourneyAdditional Resources:📘 New In Chess Magazine – The legendary publication covering elite and amateur chess alike🎙️ New In Chess Podcast – Hosted by Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam📚 Choose Yourself by James Altucher📺 Eric Rosen’s YouTube Channel – Where James first relearned modern chess💻 Chess.com – Popular online chess platform♟️ lichess.org – Free, open-source chess platform📘 Game Changer by Matthew Sadler & Natasha Regan – On AlphaZero’s influence on modern chess🧠 Andrew Huberman's Podcast – Neuroscience insights referenced in the episodeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A Note from James:Michael Dell. Founder of Dell. I remember in college, hearing about this kid who was building computers in his dorm and making millions. I thought it was a myth. It wasn’t. He’s the real thing—and he just kept going.I wanted to understand what drove him, what it felt like to deal with Carl Icahn trying to wrestle his company from him, and what success feels like after decades of being in the game. Also: I had to ask why Dell didn’t invent Google. That, plus how he’s now thinking about AI, cancer, and what “focus” really means.Episode Description:James Altucher sits down with Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, to trace the entire arc of Dell's career—from building computers in a college dorm room to defending his company against Carl Icahn and taking it private. In this candid conversation, Dell shares how early obsession with tech and business turned into a multibillion-dollar global enterprise, the lessons he’s learned about leadership, and how he’s positioning for the future with AI, cybersecurity, and gene tech on the horizon.This is more than a business story. It’s about risk, conviction, reinvention—and knowing when to walk away from Steve Jobs.What You’ll Learn:How Dell’s dorm-room business scaled to $80,000/month before he even left collegeWhat Michael Dell really thought during his showdown with Carl IcahnWhy most big companies fail to innovate—and how to keep a startup mindsetHow Dell Technologies is preparing for the explosion in AI and edge computingWhat makes a good leader at the head of a $100 billion companyTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] James introduces Michael Dell and the origin story of Dell Computers[01:00] The economics of building PCs in the early 1980s[03:00] Winning state bids with a bike and a dorm room[05:00] Pressure to become a doctor—and the 10-day “intervention”[10:00] Meeting Steve Jobs and licensing DOS from Bill Gates[13:00] Dell’s early B2B focus and international expansion[15:00] Going public and the Icahn showdown[18:00] How activist investors play poker with billion-dollar stakes[21:00] What focus really means in business[24:00] Defining leadership at global scale[26:00] Encouraging innovation inside massive companies[28:00] The failed Mac OS licensing deal[30:00] Philanthropy, education, and urban poverty[33:00] COVID lockdowns and a $100M response[35:00] The future of work and city migration[39:00] AI, edge computing, and exponential data[42:00] Gene editing, mRNA vaccines, and solving cancer[45:00] Blockchain in enterprise (no bitcoin on Dell’s balance sheet—yet)[47:00] Why cybersecurity is an arms race\Additional Resources:Play Nice But Win – Michael Dell’s memoir (Amazon)Dell Technologies – Official websiteJudge rejects Icahn's move on Dell buyout – CT InsiderRichard Florida on the future of cities – Vital City NYC interviewWhat is CRISPR? – Broad InstituteHistory of MS‑DOS – WikipediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A Note from James:Well, you can't get more information about tariffs and the economy than what I just got and you're about to listen to. Wilbur Ross, who was Secretary of Commerce under the first administration of Trump, just came on the podcast. I got to ask any question I wanted—about tariffs, the economy, everything.Don't forget, in Trump’s first administration, we saw steel and aluminum tariffs, and there were all the same concerns—about the economy, inflation, political blowback. Wilbur Ross was right at the center of it. And now, he’s giving me the full picture on what’s happening today and where it’s all heading.This is a guy who built entire industries, served in the Cabinet, and is worth billions. He’s also the author of Risks and Returns: Creating Success in Business and Life, which I highly recommend. He’s an economic and business inspiration. I learned a lot from this conversation—I’m sure you will too.Please share this episode with anyone who wants to better understand what’s really going on with tariffs and the economy. Enjoy!Episode Description:James sits down with Wilbur Ross, former Secretary of Commerce and seasoned investor, for a candid and highly detailed discussion on tariffs, China, inflation, pharmaceutical policy, and the state of the U.S. economy. Ross offers a firsthand look at the economic strategies being proposed for a possible second Trump administration—explaining why blanket tariffs might make sense, what’s really going on with China and rare earths, and how executive power is being used to bypass bureaucratic gridlock.Listeners will get a rare window into how economic policy is being formed, the political forces shaping it, and what it all means for growth, inflation, and American manufacturing.What You’ll Learn:Why blanket tariffs are being reconsidered—and how they differ from past policiesThe strategic role of tariffs in foreign policy, especially with ChinaHow U.S. dependence on China for pharmaceuticals and rare earths is being challengedWhat role executive orders and emergency powers play in trade and healthcare reformThe real economic trade-offs between inflation, recession, and reshoring productionTimestamped Chapters:[00:03] Complexity of Tariffs and China's Role[03:18] Trump's Tariff Strategy and Economic Impact[07:21] China's Influence on Global Supply Chains[16:13] Pharmaceutical Dependencies and Economic Policies[26:47] Impact of Tariffs on Inflation and Recession[45:18] Conclusion and Final ThoughtsAdditional Resources:Wilbur Ross’s Book: Risks and Returns: Creating Success in Business and LifeInternational Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA): Legal summary on IEEPANaked Wines (Podcast Sponsor): https://www.nakedwines.com/jamesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
