A Note from James:
"Over a billion people play chess. Even if youâre not into it, think about this: two armies on a board, going to war. Itâs the game of kings, and back in the day, kings played chess to strategize without any bloodshed. Although, if youâve ever lost a chess game, you might feel like someone just wiped you off the board. Iâve been thereâsitting for hours, putting your whole brain into it, and then losing. It feels like death. People cry. Iâve cried.
But hereâs the thing: itâs also the safest way to practice losing and bouncing back in life. Thatâs why chess is part of our cultureâfrom TV shows like The Queenâs Gambit to the background of every smart character in movies. Chess has helped me in ways I canât even measure. It got me into college, helped me land jobs, and taught me how to deal with failure.
In this episode, I sat down with Peter Doggers, an incredible chess journalist and author of The Chess Revolution. We talked about how chess is taking the world by storm, why it matters so much today, and what makes it more than just a game. If you play chess, know someone who does, or even just want to understand the cultural and intellectual explosion of chess right now, this conversation is for you. Letâs get into it."

They discuss everything from the addictive nature of chess to its impact on careers, mental resilience, and even Hollywood. Whether youâre a grandmaster or a beginner, this conversation uncovers why chess is more relevant than ever.

A Note from James:
"Oh my gosh, so many things going on with Bitcoin. Let me just summarize it. Obviously, Gary Gensler resigning is huge for Bitcoin. He was the head of the SEC, and this is the end of a regulatory cloud over crypto. Another major development is the proposal for Bitcoin to be included in U.S. strategic reserves. If the U.S. starts buying Bitcoin, which Senator Carol Loomis has proposed in a bill, Bitcoin could hit a million. I'm not even being too hyperbolic here. Plus, companies are beginning to adopt crypto, and tokenization is taking off.Today's guest is Omid Malekan, an expert in crypto who used to run crypto at Citibank. He's written extensively on the subject, and I love catching up with him to get his unique perspective on where crypto is heading. If youâre curious about Bitcoinâs future, the meme coin phenomenon, or the catalysts that might reshape the world of finance, Omid has a lot of insights to share. And trust me, youâll want to stick around for this one.â
Episode Description:In this episode, James sits down with Omid Malekan, crypto expert and author, to discuss the seismic shifts happening in the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. With Gary Gensler stepping down as SEC chair, what does this mean for the future of crypto? Omid shares his perspective on Bitcoinâs potential to become a strategic reserve asset for the U.S. government and dives into the fascinating, if controversial, world of meme coins.
From understanding why tokenization is more than just a buzzword to exploring how stablecoins and decentralized finance are disrupting traditional banking, this episode provides a clear, actionable roadmap for anyone interested in the future of money and blockchain technology.
What Youâll Learn:Why Gary Genslerâs resignation matters for Bitcoinâs future â and what it means for the regulatory environment.How tokenization could reshape financial markets â from real estate to gold and beyond.The role of meme coins in cryptoâs evolution â as both protest and possibility.The promise and potential pitfalls of stablecoins â and why theyâre more than just digital dollars.Omidâs predictions for Bitcoin and Ethereum in a post-regulatory world â and which other coins might take off.Timestamped Chapters:[01:30] Bitcoinâs Big News: Why Genslerâs resignation is a game-changer[02:52] Omid Malekanâs take on Bitcoin as a U.S. strategic reserve[05:25] The meme coin phenomenon: From joke to serious business[10:09] Whatâs next for crypto banking and decentralized finance[20:07] Stablecoins: The next big thing for the U.S. dollar[36:17] Ethereum vs. Solana: The battle for blockchain supremacy[50:07] Tokenization and the future of asset ownershipAdditional Resources:Follow Omid Malekan on TwitterLearn more about stablecoins and decentralized finance at CoinDesk.------------

A Note from James:
This week, thereâs a lot happening with Iran. Some strategies the U.S. has tried with them are just mind-boggling. My guest, Ken Timmerman, says it best: Iran is the biggest issue we face right now, and the closest weâve been to World War III. What went wrong? What could go wrong next?
Ken has been covering Iran and terrorism for 40 years. In this episode, we unpack his early days as a hostage of terrorists, the state of Iranâs nuclear ambitions, and some downright shocking conclusions. I challenge Ken on some of his points, but his insights are hard to ignore. His new book, The Iran House, is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the history and future of this volatile situation. Here's Ken Timmerman, terrorism expert and author of The Iran House.
Episode Description:James sits down with investigative journalist and war correspondent Ken Timmerman to discuss the ongoing threat posed by Iran and its nuclear ambitions. From being held captive by terrorists to winning a $6 billion court judgment against Iran for their involvement in 9/11, Kenâs experiences provide unparalleled insights into Middle Eastern politics. The episode explores why Iranâs regime remains a global threat, the role of U.S. policy in shaping the region, and whatâs needed to empower the Iranian people toward meaningful change.
What Youâll Learn:Why Iranâs leadership is considered the most significant threat to global security today.Kenâs personal story of surviving 24 days as a terrorist hostage and how faith shaped his outlook.How Iran funds terrorist organizations across Sunni and Shia divides to destabilize the region.The real impact of U.S. policies, from Obamaâs nuclear deal to Trumpâs âmaximum pressureâ campaign.How empowering the Iranian people can lead to regime change without military intervention.Timestamped Chapters:[01:30] Jamesâ introduction: Why Iran matters now more than ever.[02:58] Kenâs harrowing experience as a hostage in Beirut.[12:27] How Iranâs funding spans both Sunni and Shia terrorist groups.[18:00] The controversy of U.S. policies toward Iran: Obama vs. Trump.[39:54] Non-violent warfare: Empowering Iranians for change.[55:16] Iranâs nuclear capabilities and global implications.[01:07:23] Final thoughts: A hopeful path forward for peace.Additional Resources:Ken Timmermanâs latest book: The Iran House: Tales of Revolution, Persecution, War, and Intrigue.Kenâs memoir: And the Rest is History: Tales of Hostages, Arms Dealers, Dirty Tricks, and SpieU.S. Victims of State-Sponsored Terrorism Fund informationA history of Iranâs nuclear ambitions from the International Atomic Energy Agency------------

A Note from James:
Oh my gosh. I always feel like my IQ goes up when I talk to Jim Rickards. He has so much knowledge about so many things, but particularly, he's been there, done that when it comes to all things in the economy. Some of his stories about what he's personally seen and done are tied to some of the most famous events in the economy over the past 50 years.
Anyway, he wrote a new book, Money GPT, which is about the financial aspects of AI and how it could affect the economy. But we started off with the basics. I just wanted to ask him: What do you think is going to happen in this economy? And we go deep. So, we divided this into two parts.
Part one covers everything you need to know about the current state of the U.S. economy. This was a real education for me, and I read a lot about this stuff. So, Iâm excited to share it with you. The second part, which will come out later, is all about AI and its effects on the economy.
Here's my friend Jim Rickards. I'm sure you're going to enjoy this as much as I did. And, as always, if you have any comments or questions, let me know. And, please, subscribe to the podcast if you haven't already.
Episode Description:In this episode, James Altucher sits down with renowned economist and author Jim Rickards to break down the complexities of todayâs economy. With decades of experience and a front-row seat to some of historyâs most pivotal financial events, Jim delivers sharp insights into the forces driving economic cycles. This discussion dives into historical parallels, the impact of policy decisions, and what lies ahead for the U.S. economy under potential future administrations.
Jim also shares his take on how recession cycles play out, the legacy of interest rate hikes, and why both borrower and lender psychology matter more than Federal Reserve actions. Packed with valuable lessons, this episode offers a rare look at economic trends from a perspective few can match.
What Youâll Learn:The historical parallels between Reagan-era recessions and todayâs economic landscape.Why low interest rates arenât necessarily a stimulus and the real drivers of economic growth.How borrower and lender behavior impact recessions more than Federal Reserve policies.The role of government and corporate partnerships in shaping modern economies.What could catalyze a shift from stagnation to growth in todayâs economic climate.Timestamped Chapters:[00:01:30] Introduction to Jim Rickards and his new book, Money GPT[00:02:17] Overview of the U.S. economyâs current state[00:03:16] Historical parallels: Lessons from Reagan-era recessions[00:07:02] Interest rates: Stimulus or symptom of deeper issues?[00:10:14] Depression vs. recession: How the definitions shape our understanding[00:18:33] The psychology of lending and borrowing in recessions[00:27:20] Modern banking, bail-ins, and the Silicon Valley Bank collapse[00:34:21] The Fedâs limits: What really moves the economy[00:45:21] Government-corporate partnerships: Are we living in a new era of fascism?[00:58:22] Can Trumpâs policies truly drain the swamp and drive economic growth?Additional Resources:Jim Rickardsâ book: Money GPTJim Rickardsâ previous works: The Death of Money, Aftermath------------

A Note from James:
"So in a few hours, as I am saying this. The election of 2024 will begin. I'm doing this podcast on Monday evening, and I wanted to address a couple of important issues that people don't seem to know about in terms of how a presidential election in the United States works. And in particular, there are a couple of loopholes where I think it is possible to legally cheat in this election, and I'm not talking about either candidate but the big question that has been on my mind and on many people's minds, is it possible to quote-unquote, legally cheat in an election?"
Episode Description:
In this episode, recorded on the eve of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, I dive deep into the complexities of the U.S. electoral system and explore potential legal loopholes that might allow for what I call 'legal cheating' in an election. I clarify that this discussion is unbiased, focusing neither on Democrats nor Republicans specifically. I explain how the U.S. Constitution and state legislatures play key roles in the election process, the distinctions between a popular vote and the electoral college, and historical precedents that could impact the integrity of the election. We also explore scenarios where state legislatures could manipulate the process, the implications of Trump's impeachment for insurrection, and how these factors play out in a tightly contested election. While shedding light on these potential loopholes, I emphasize their improbability but underscore the importance of understanding them. Tune in to get informed about the intricacies and safeguards within the U.S. election system.
00:00 Introduction to the 2024 Election
00:05 Understanding Legal Cheating in Elections
02:34 The Electoral College vs. Popular Vote
05:39 Historical Examples of Electoral College Outcomes
09:28 Mechanics of the Electoral College

"That was insane. Kevin Shipp, 17 years with the CIA, then, he had some wild experiences that led to him leaving the CIA. He wrote, just published a book that he published without the CIA's permission. It's called Twilight of the Shadow Government. And I got almost scared during this interview that maybe I shouldn't even release this podcast episode. I don't want to say anything. He didn't say anything that was like crazy or off the deep end. I just got scared. And when you listen to the episode or, and read the book, you'll see why. So I'm just going to go right into it. And I'd love to hear your comments. Here it is.

A Note from James:
âOh my gosh. What a podcast with Naveen Jain. I first had Naveen on in 2014 or 2015, and he remembered it perfectly. That conversation was so fun, I still remember it like it was yesterday. Itâs crazy because Iâve done over 1,500 episodes, but that one stuck with me.
Back then, we talked about Moon Express and his journey building rockets to the moon. Now, almost ten years later, Naveen has built several other companies, including Viome, which uses cutting-edge technology to analyze your microbiome and help people live longer healthier lives. Today, weâre talking about his new book, The Youth Formula: Outsmart Your Genes and Unlock the Secrets to Longevity.
At first, Iâll admit, I was tired of hearing about longevityâeveryone seems to be saying the same thingâbut Naveen has such a unique take on it. We got into everything: from the role of microbes in our health to fecal transplants (yes, really) and how bacteria can influence personality traits. It was fascinating. We even talked about how changing your microbiome could literally alter your personality.
Thereâs so much in this episode that itâs going to blow your mind. I hope itâs not another ten years before we get Naveen back on the show. Iâm definitely going to take him up on some of his suggestions, and maybe Iâll have some results to share in a few months. Hereâs Naveen Jain.â

He explains why genes arenât destiny, how microbes may play a more important role in our health than DNA, and what steps we can take to live longer healthier lives. James and Naveen also discuss the surprising science behind fecal transplants, the future of personalized nutrition, and why finding purpose might be the ultimate key to longevity.
What Youâll Learn:How the microbiome plays a crucial role in your overall healthâand might even affect your personality.Why DNA isnât as important as you think when it comes to disease and longevity.The latest research on fecal transplants and their impact on treating various diseases.How personalized nutrition can help you optimize your health based on your unique biology.The connection between purpose, community, and living a longer life.Timestamped Chapters:[01:30] Introduction: Reconnecting with Naveen Jain after 10 years[02:44] The Youth Formula and Viome: Outsmarting your genes[03:17] Microbiomeâs role in health: 99.999% of your body is microbes[04:02] Fecal transplants and personality: Can you inherit personality traits?[06:00] Personalized nutrition: Why âhealthyâ food isnât healthy for everyone[12:00] The power of purpose: Why having a reason to live is crucial for longevity[21:32] Changing the microbiome to treat disease: Fecal transplants and immunotherapy[29:24] How microbiomes affect mental health: Serotonin and gut-brain connections[39:51] The role of AI in personalized health recommendations at Viome[46:00] Stress and the sympathetic/parasympathetic modes: Modern stressors vs. ancient survival instincts[48:01] The role of exercise: Why 30-45 minutes of movement is enough[49:00] Sleep and health: The importance of quality over quantity[56:58] Entrepreneurial insights: Why a smooth life isnât what you want as an entrepreneur[58:07] Long-term vision: How Viome is focused on extending life by improving microbiome health[65:00] Wrap-up: Jamesâs thoughts on the future of health and Naveenâs closing remarksAdditional Resources:The Youth Formula: Outsmart Your Genes and Unlock the Secret to LongevityViome: Learn more about personalized nutrition and microbiome analysis.Naveen Jain's Official Website------------

A Note from James:
Oh my gosh, every time, this is the second time I've talked to Gladys McGarey. Last year she was 102 years old, this year she's 103 years old. She wrote a book, The Well Lived Life: A 102-Year-Old Doctor's Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age, and it's coming out in paperback. And every time I read this book, I've read it twice now, and I talk to her, I almost feel like crying, and I don't really know why.
It's almost as if she was born with wisdom, but then kept even growing for the next 102 years. Like she drove a Ford Model A car, and now she's talking to me through Zoom on the internet and going on podcasts, writing books.
She was a doctor her whole life. She's been all over the world. She's had so many amazing experiences and also has suffered, of course, much loss. I don't think you're going to live to be that age and not have an incredible amount of loss that you have to learn to move past and still be positive and still live every day to its fullest.
She had, she was riding a tricycle and it threw her off into the street and she broke three ribs. And she's now totally healed and on the podcast. I really look up to this woman a lot.
Here's Gladys McGarey. We have a great conversation about all sorts of things and she's the author of The Well Lived Life.
Episode Description:
In this profound and enlightening conversation, James revisits the remarkable life of Dr. Gladys McGarey, who, at 103 years old, shares her 'six secrets to health and happiness at every age' from her book 'The Well Lived Life'. Reflecting on a life rich with experiences, from caring for patients across the globe to handling personal loss and surviving a recent tricycle accident, Dr. McGarey embodies resilience and wisdom. She discusses the importance of facing challenges, the transformative power of love and life, and how her encounters with notable figures like Milton Erickson shaped her understanding of human potential. Dr. McGarey's perspectives on aging, happiness, and living a meaningful life offer invaluable insights, emphasizing the significance of community, love, and choosing oneâs path with intention.

Hereâs a draft of your podcast show notes based on the Wilbur Ross episode:
A Note from James:Wilbur Ross, the man, the myth, the legend. Iâm going to be honest, back in 1999, I remember playing a lot of poker at the Mayfair Poker Club in New York City. There was a guy there who worked for Wilbur Ross, who was running huge private equity funds back then. I was jealous because I wanted to work for Wilbur Ross. Heâs been a consistent feature in building businesses decade after decade. Most recently, he served as Secretary of Commerce for all four years of the Trump administration.

In this episode, I analyze the surprising decision of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to suspend his presidential campaign and endorse Donald Trump, examining the potential ripple effects on the upcoming election. I address several key questions, such as how this decision could influence voter behavior, affect fundraising dynamics, and reshape election strategies for both Trump and Kamala Harris. I delved into my personal experience with RFK Jr., including his appearance on my podcast where he discussed his contentious views on vaccines, which I initially chose not to release due to their controversial nature and my inability to fact-check them at the time.
Additionally, I provide a historical perspective by examining past elections where third-party candidates acted as spoilers, such as Ralph Nader in the 2000 election and Theodore Roosevelt in the 1912 election. These examples highlight the significant impact a third-party candidate can have on election outcomes. The script further explores RFK Jr.'s speech and newly expressed concerns about chronic diseases, obesity, and ultra-processed foods in the U.S., comparing his claims with available data and trends.
I also address the concept of corporate capture of federal agencies like the FDA, providing examples of former FDA officials who moved to high-level positions in pharmaceutical companies. This discussion includes RFK Jr.'s claim that 50 percent of the FDA's funding comes from pharmaceutical companies through user fees, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
Moreover, I discuss RFK Jr.'s potential future role in a Trump administration, focusing on health policy issues, and his influence on current polling dynamics. I fact-check several of his statements and analyze their implications for American health and longevity, contrasting U.S. life expectancy with that of other countries. Finally, I explore economic policies proposed by Kamala Harris and their potential impact on the U.S. economy, emphasizing RFK Jr.'s emphasis on children's health and the possible consequences of his alignment with Trump for the upcoming election. This detailed analysis aims to provide viewers with a nuanced understanding of RFK Jr.'s endorsement and its broader political and social implications.

A Note from James:
"Marshall, you have the best name in the world for someone whoâs going to write about leadership. I would hire you as a coach just for your name aloneâMarshall Goldsmith, it just sounds perfect. For those who arenât familiar, and Iâll do an intro, youâve written an enormous number of successful leadership books, selling over 3 million copies. Youâve coached Fortune 500 CEOs, and youâre launching MarshallGoldsmith.AI, your new AI venture. Letâs get into what it means to be a good coach."

Marshall shares his insights on leadership, coaching, and the often-overlooked distinction between happiness and achievement. With a career that spans decades, Marshallâs wisdom is not just theoretical; itâs backed by his experience coaching some of the most successful leaders in the world.

A Note from James:
Is our military way behind other countries in terms of using the latest technology with AI, with drones, with biotech, with cybersecurity? I think for many years we know we're behind on supersonic weapons. Are we behind on AI? How did Hamas send undetected a thousand or so paragliders into Israel without Israel detecting it? Are we behind on the AI that's in sensors? What is going on?
So, with the help of Chris Kirchhoff, who wrote the book "Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley are Transforming the Future of War," we answer these questions and more.
Episode Description:In this episode, James Altucher hosts Christopher Kirchhoff to explore the critical question: Is the US military lagging behind in technology? They discuss the current technological shortcomings of the military, historical contexts, and how metrics of military power are evolving. Kirchhoff provides an insightful analysis of the Hamas attack as a case study to highlight technological vulnerabilities and failures. The conversation expands to cover the rise of drones, the innovative Replicator Initiative, and the crucial role of AI and machine learning in military operations. Kirchhoff shares his experiences bridging the gap between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon, offering a rare glimpse into the challenges and successes of modern military technology integration.
What Youâll Learn:Technological Shortcomings: Understand the areas where the US military is currently falling behind other nations in technology.Impact of Drones: Learn about the transformative role drones play in modern warfare and their potential to change military strategies.Replicator Initiative: Discover the Pentagon's innovative approach to building low-cost autonomous weapon systems.AI in Military Operations: Gain insights into how AI and machine learning are being integrated into military strategies and operations.Bridging Technology Gaps: Explore the challenges and successes of connecting Silicon Valley's rapid innovation with the Pentagon's strategic needs.Chapters:01:30 Introduction: Is the US Military Lagging in Technology?02:15 Current Technological Shortcomings03:20 Historical Context of Military Superiority03:59 Changing Metrics of Military Power06:42 Hamas Attack: A Case Study08:15 Technological Vulnerabilities and Failures10:22 US Military's Technological Lag11:42 The Rise of Drones in Modern Warfare14:52 The Replicator Initiative17:54 Bridging the Gap Between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon24:39 Challenges in Government Contracting28:35 Innovative Contracting Solutions31:17 Discovering Joby Aviation: The Future of Flying Cars32:24 Military Applications and Collaboration with Joby34:53 The Rise of Drones in Modern Warfare37:12 Rogue Squadron: The Military's First Commercial Drone Unit39:32 Anduril and the Future of Combat Collaborative Aircraft45:14 AI and Machine Learning in Military Operations51:31 Ethical Issues in Military Technology01:04:02 Strategic Stability and the Future of Warfare01:09:35 Conclusion: Bridging Silicon Valley and the MilitaryAdditional Resources:Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley are Transforming the Future of WarJoby AviationAnduril IndustriesDefense Innovation Unit (DIU)DARPA------------
