Customer Reviews
James Altucher is real.
James Altucher is real. Honest. Raw. Things that almost no one seems to be in this day and age.
So far So great
Bumped into this fellow in the new & noteworthy section. Have only listened to the first episode, but if it's any indication of what's to come...I am a loyal listener now. Educational and insightful in a real and raw way - no buzzwordy BS nonsense here. Awesome stuff. Keep up the good work!
Choose yourself
James is unique and refreshing in a word of airbrushed photoshopped falseness, a real gem! I really enjoy the book, and
the blog,and now the podcast ... Keep it coming!!!
