The ABCs of How to Commit Corporate Fraud:Step 1: Have high-up government connections.Step 2: Deal with a service so complicated that you don't need to explain it.Step 3: Transfer balances between your own entities to pump up valuations.Step 4: Payoff the accountants (or don't have a CFO at all!).Enron, WorldCom, Madoff Securities, FTX. All of these companies have had Icarus-like rises and collapses and they all followed the same playbook. Is it a coincidence that the man who returned $20 billion to Enron's creditors will now oversee FTX through Chapter 11 bankruptcy? Today, Antonio Reza (Head of Finance for Google Cloud EMEA, ex-Microsoft Azure, ex-GE) joins James to discuss the greatest fall of them all, Enron, and its similarities to the recent plummet of FTX. Antonio's recent thread about Enron is a must-read and his Twitter account is full of similar insights.------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

"If there are three ways to win status: one is dominance, one is success, and one is virtue." Fan favorite guest Andrew Gold returns to the show for a 2-part, 2-hour meta-interview focusing on the thornier aspects of interviewing polarizing guests and how the public reacts.In recent years, Andrew Gold has hosted psychopaths, gang members, accused murderers, and cult members. James has taken an apolitical - or possibly anti-political - approach to the guests on his show. While Andrew has been relatively unscathed, James continues to receive backlash from both sides of the political spectrum when interviewing polarizing figures.Enjoy the show's first episode recorded in person at James' house in Georgia!Also make sure to check out his podcast with the link below:https://podfollow.com/on-the-edge-with-andrew-gold------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Today, former Make You a Millionaire mentee James Quandahl hosts James on his one-on-one podcast, "The James Quandahl Show". Below are the notes James Quandahl wrote to accompany the interview:This is a very special episode because I finally had a chance to record a conversation with someone who needs no introduction for the listeners of this show... my good friend and mentor James Altucher.During today's episode, we discussed why James believes hosting a podcast is like taking classes from the best professors ever.The negative effect social media has on our focus, careers, life, etc.Why we have the tendency to do what is bad for us... even when we know it is bad.And how James feels it may be good to be a little anxious.We dig into why he doesn't consider his writing or podcast to be in the self-help category, and instead how his books are a story of how he helped himself.Finally, we spoke about the ramifications of James's viral article, NYC is Dead Forever, Here's Why, and if James writes to be controversial.We discussed all of this and so much more in today's episode, so please give it a listen and send me a message with your thoughts @JamesQuandahl on Instagram and Twitter...

When the most powerful people in the world are trying to destroy you and you refuse to die, it starts to cross your mind, "What's coming next?" In 2015, Andrew was a world kickboxing champion known to James as the son of International Chess Master Emory Tate. The two started conversing in the wake of Emory's untimely passing and have sporadically kept in touch.Seven years later, Andrew - retired from competitive contact sports - has taken the internet's mantle as a self-proclaimed free speech advocate "embroiled in a battle against The Matrix". Having been de-platformed from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter despite multi-million followers on each site, James reached out to Andrew looking for clarity into his current situation as an impartial third party.What follows is an unfiltered hour of provocative and polarizing conversation.------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

"I thought I was a joke or a test!"Douglas Rushkoff was led into a room at a desert resort where five mysterious billionaires awaited him. They peppered the media theorist and author with binary questions: Bitcoin or Ethereum? Virtual reality or augmented reality?

He continues to serve as a consultant to the committee and previously served as an expert witness for the French Chess Federation, the Bulgarian Chess Federation and other governing bodies of chess.Additional topics include:How does the chess rating system work?

Nerdwriter's YouTube channel has helped me through the lockdown. I especially enjoy the video where he breaks down Louis C.K.'s joke about playing monopoly with his daughter, and how his daughter learned a valuable adult lesson from the game! I have watched that video over and over, more than 10 times! In this episode, I am fortunate enough to have the creator of Nerdwriter, Evan Puschak, an American video essayist, and journalist on to talk about his new book, Escape into Meaning: Essays on Superman, Public Benches, and Other Obsessions!It's such a fascinating book! We broke down some of the videos from Nerdwriter, especially Louis C.K.'s video, Darth Vader, Jerry Seinfeld, and also How Donald Trump Answers a Question!! We also talked about what drove Evan to write this book, how he grow his YouTube channel, and what motivates him to keep creating content!Visit Notepd.com to read more idea lists, or sign up and create your own idea list!My new book Skip The Line is out!

This might be one of the most pessimist episodes that I have done! The China-Taiwan tension has been rising every day since The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan. The question is what is she doing there? Why is she there? What brought her to Taiwan?With all the questions that I have, I invited General Robert Spalding, retired United States Air Force brigadier general, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, this work focuses on U.S.-China relations, economic and national security, and the Asia-Pacific military balance, and basically asked him, will the US win if the war breaks out?We break down whether was it propaganda when the media says China is enraged at the US because Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan. How much did China control? How much does the US rely on China in terms of Supply Chain? Could China have been sabotaging us all these years?Listen to the episode, and let us know what you think!Visit Notepd.com to read more idea lists, or sign up and create your own idea list!My new book Skip The Line is out!

I think there should be an Adulting 101 course out there!In this episode, my wife, Robyn, and I talked about why weren't some subject taught in high school. Like, as how to do laundry, how to take care or rent an apartment, how to cook for one person, and so on...Of course, Robyn has her own takes on those subjects! She thinks that parents should be the ones that teach the kids those skills as part of their parenting method! However, we both agree on high school should at least teach the kids about doing taxes, how to prepare for job interviews, and also teach basic probability and statistics! (A note from Jay the Engineer, we did learn those in our high school in Malaysia. Not taxes, but basic accounting.)Robyn and I also discuss how to have a healthy relationship with your spouse, and how having unique skills and/ or unique experiences can win you in life!Listen to the episode, and if you like episodes like these, make sure you give it a like, tweet at me @jaltucher, and leave a review!Visit Notepd.com to read more idea lists, or sign up and create your own idea list!My new book Skip The Line is out!

What is going on with the world in the past 3 years, especially the past few weeks? There is news about inflation, the economy, and reports of big tech companies planning to lay off their employees.With the uncertainties looming, we need something to take our minds off the news and calm our anxiety. I remember the podcast that I did with Julia Cameron, an American teacher, artist, poet, playwright, novelist, filmmaker, composer, journalist, and most of all, the author of "The Artist Way".In the episode, Julia talked about her morning pages, we discussed the 10,000 hours rules, and how can we use all the practices to help our creativity juice flow. Eventually, the episode led me into writing, Skip The Line, and then created the idea list website, notepd.com.Listen to the episode, I hope the conversation with Julia in this episode helps you as it helped me.If you want to see an example of what Notepd's list looks like, check out my post here: https://notepd.com/idea/the-ultimate-guide-to-becoming-an-idea-machine-317Visit Notepd.com to read more idea lists, or sign up and create your own idea list!My new book Skip The Line is out!
