James Altucher interviews the world's leading peak performers in every area of life. But instead of giving you the typical success story, James digs deeper to find the "Choose Yourself" story - these are the moments we relate to... when someone rises up from personal struggle to reinvent themselves. The James Altucher Show brings you into the lives of peak-performers: billionaires, best-selling authors, rappers, astronauts, athletes, comedians, actors, and the world champions in every field, all who forged their own paths, found financial freedom and harnessed the power to create more meaningful and fulfilling lives.
Eric Adams was beat by the police at age 15. "They kicked us in the groin over and over again. We were urinating blood for seven days." So when Eric grew up, he became a cop. "I had no idea I was going to last for 22 years," he said. "I thought I would be there a year. And then they'd say, 'Get rid of this guy. This guy's a trouble maker." But that never happened. He got promoted. "I was driven. The plan was to go in there with a mission. The mission was to find ways to make communities safe without being in disgrace. How do you turn this noble profession into what it ought to be?" Later on, Eric became a state senator and now he's Brooklyn Borough President with a new mission to become mayor. In this episode, you'll hear Eric talk about his drive. And how he turns visions into missions. With real hope. And real possibility. -- New announcement.
