As a successful entrepreneur, James has expanded his portfolio to include a blog and a podcast, “The James Altucher Show” which attracts renowned guests and has had over 40 million downloads.
None of this would have been possible had he not sold his social media platform for $10 million in 2007. His next venture took him into cryptocurrency investing, despite his initial reluctance to embrace Bitcoin, describing it as a scam. His best-selling book on cryptocurrency,
Choose Yourself: Be Happy, Make Millions, Live the Dream
, is just one of many that regularly appear on the list of best business books of all time.
His first podcast was a collaboration, based on questions from Quora before he created his own show in 2014. The guest list is a fascinating mix of authors, entrepreneurs, rappers, drug dealers, and even astronauts!
Not content with being a successful entrepreneur, investor, trader, and writer, James is also a stand-up comedian and co-owns a comedy club in Manhattan. His considerable talents also include being a recognized National Chess Master.
There is no doubt that James Altucher has achieved success in whatever he sets his mind to, and his keynote speeches reveal how anybody can do the same.
