The Dorm Room That Ate Wall Street

Michael Dell built a company in his dorm, battled Carl Icahn, and took Dell public twice. But in our latest conversation, he says everything so far was just the warm-up. From AI and blockchain to cancer cures and cybersecurity, Dell reveals what’s coming next — and why it will reshape everything.

Thrive Long and Prosper

Forget ChatGPT and robot art. The real AI revolution is happening inside your body. In this episode, I sat down with Hamed Shahbazi, CEO of WELL Health Technologies, to talk about how AI is transforming healthcare — extending lives, preventing burnout, and personalizing treatment like never before. This isn’t a future dream. It’s happening now.

These AI Tools Will Blow Your Mind

AI isn’t about to change everything, it’s already here. And I don’t want to scare you… But it’s crucial you know everything you can about what’s already here, and what’s coming next.

Shoveling Sh*t and Finding Gold

Most business books suck. But Shoveling Sht* doesn’t pretend. Mike and Kass Lazerow built, broke, and rebuilt their way to a $700 million exit—together. On my podcast, they open up about failure, therapy, ramen dinners, and the real cost of entrepreneurship. It’s raw, hilarious, and exactly what founders need to hear.

I Visited Google. AI is Just the Beginning

Years ago, I visited Google with some friends and, after almost getting arrested, my mind was blown… First, we wandered into the garage where they…

Trade, Taxes, and Trump’s New World Order

Wilbur Ross, former U.S. Commerce Secretary and Trump’s trade architect, just revealed the real goals behind Trump’s 2025 tariff playbook—targeting fentanyl, semiconductors, and supply chains with strategic precision. Whether you support it or not, this is the framework for a new economic era—and investors need to understand what’s coming

The biggest gains often start with three simple words: “I don’t know.” In Altucher’s latest breakdown, he shares the AI opportunity he's watching now—and why it could reshape everything from medicine to microcaps.

Your Bank Might Disappear

In this conversation with ex-Citi crypto lead Omid Malekan, James Altucher unpacks how blockchain is quietly reshaping finance. From hidden fees to tokenisation, the legacy banking model—on both sides of the Atlantic—is under pressure.

How to Escape Prison

Most people will never see a prison cell. But most live behind invisible bars—trapped by fear, routine, identity, or shame. On this week’s podcast, I sit down with Damon West, a former college quarterback turned inmate who rebuilt his life inside a maximum-security Texas prison. What he shares isn’t just a survival story—it’s a manual for mental freedom, forgiveness

Quantum Isn’t What They Told You

Quantum computing isn’t just science fiction anymore. It’s real, it’s weird, and it could break the internet as we know it. In this episode, we talk to two quantum insiders—one physicist, one founder—about the truth behind the hype, the risks to crypto, and why your passwords may not be safe for long.

Live Free or Die Paying Retail

I’ve interviewed billionaires, Navy SEALs, and hedge fund giants—but Chris Hutchins might be the smartest guest I’ve ever had on the show. He’s not rich from luck. He’s just hacked life at every level—travel, money, time. In one hour, he changed how I think about freedom.

I Was Wrong About Gold (and Bitcoin)

For years, I called gold a shiny rock—and backed Bitcoin instead. But now, someone’s putting physical gold directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain. This isn’t just clever. It’s the start of a much bigger wave: tokenizing the $1.4 quadrillion global asset stack. From gold to real estate to stocks, everything is about to go on-chain. Here’s what happens next—and how to get ahead of it.

Don’t Let AI Steal Your Voice

AI can mimic your voice—but it can’t steal your story. Here’s why that matters. Web Excerpt: AI can replicate almost anything—your voice, your writing, even your face. But it can’t tell your story. That’s why I’m urging you to write it down. Not because you’re trying to be famous. But because no one has lived your life but you—and in a world drowning in synthetic noise, your truth matters more than ever.

How to Lose Investors and Ruin Your Life

I turned $15 million into $143 almost overnight. What saved me wasn’t a financial strategy—it was owning my mistakes.

Everyone says quantum computers will change the world. But what does that actually mean—and how much of the hype is real? I sit down with experts from BTQ Technologies and Macquarie University to break down the truth about quantum computing, encryption, AI, and whether your Bitcoin wallet is safe. It’s simpler (and scarier) than you think.

Why Success Gurus Die in Debt

Everyone you looked up to? They’re struggling—despite doing everything right. At last week’s Full Stack conference, I was asked how to succeed when you’re not qualified. But maybe that’s the wrong question. Because the most successful people I know weren’t qualified at all. They just refused to quit. Here’s what that really looks like.

The Truth about Tariffs: Busting the Inflation Myth

When my wife’s Cybertruck got keyed, it reminded me: the more attention something gets, the harder it is to see the truth. Today, tariffs are just as misunderstood. In this new piece, I break down why tariffs don’t actually cause inflation—and why strategic trade moves matter more than ever.

You’ll Never Work Again If This Works (Again)

In 2008, I published The Forever Portfolio—and no one cared. But the few who listened made life-changing gains. Now, in 2025, I’m updating it. Not as a book—but as a living blueprint for what’s coming next. And at the center of this next wave? AI. One company, tied to Elon Musk, could anchor the next 15 years of market returns. I’ll show you why.
