James Altucher has spent his life building businesses and learning from his mistakes. He's founded 20 companies in all, 17 of which have failed. But each setback only encouraged him to bounce back stronger and smarter than before, and the ones that worked more than made up for it.
After earning a computer science degree from Cornell University, James founded a company that was acquired for $15 million. That first exit kicked off a career that has moved across entrepreneurship, investing, venture capital, and media, often all at once.
He's amassed hundreds of thousands of followers thanks to his ideas on entrepreneurship, cryptocurrency, investing, and life philosophy. You may have seen him on CNBC or Fox Business, where he's known for making accurate market predictions. His work has been featured in Entrepreneur, Forbes, the New York Times, and TED, and he's contributed to the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, and the Huffington Post. His podcast, The James Altucher Show, has been downloaded over 20 million times. His book Choose Yourself hit No. 1 on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list and sold over half a million copies.
