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.
"Everyday is a new day." ...unless you have a routine.
Then it's just "eat, sleep, shit, repeat," like they say in Billions.
"Don't you want to create memories? Don't you want to build your life resume and get as much out of life as you can?" Jesse Itzler said on my podcast.
He's the co-founder of Marquis Jets, owner of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks, endurance athlete, former-rapper and now he's an author.
"I didn't have a resume," he says. "I didn't want to have a resume. I didn't want to work for anybody."
Jesse built his life.
"I had no background, no experience and I had no connections."
He's self-made.
I don't know who's in charge of my life. Maybe me. I chose myself.
And I still do. Everyday.
But I also lend my life out. At least once every 24 hours.
"We're constantly dodging arrows," Jesse said. "Each arrow is time."
"Routines are great, but they're also a rut," he said.
"I thought wow, this is amazing. I have great balance. I have a great routine. I'm in my routine. Everything is my routine..."
And he needed to get out of it.
So he did something crazy, which you'll hear on today's episode.
And you'll learn his tricks to becoming self-made.
Then you can enjoy your life. I hope. And forget your resume too.
