4d ago1:02:39

1:02:39

A Note from James There’s always been debate about whether college is worth it. But what if there’s a better alternative—one that actually prepares you to become the person you want to be? My good friend Matt Smith just wrote a book with Doug Casey called The Preparation. It’s not theory—he’s been putting his own son through it as a real-world expe…

Stoicism with Ryan Holiday - Part 2 42:41

28d ago42:41

42:41

A Note from James: We kept recording because the conversation wasn’t done. Part 1 was about writing and honesty. Part 2?

Ryan Holiday has written about ego, stillness, and obstacles. But this p…

Stoicism with Ryan Holiday - Part 1 42:01

1M ago42:01

42:01

A Note from James: Ryan Holiday is one of the few writers I consider a peer—not just because of the work he’s done, but because of the choices he's made along the way. We’ve both published a lot of books. We've both dealt with audiences, platforms, and the weight of having a “point of view” in a world that increasingly wants you to pick a side. Thi…

Crazy Finance: Episode 2 - Is College Still Worth It? 27:19

1M ago27:19

27:19

A Note from James: When I first said that college was a scam, people thought I was joking—or worse. But I wasn’t. If you’re 18 and listening to this, don’t go to college. And if you’re a parent, don’t send your kid without doing the math. College doesn’t guarantee a better life anymore. In fact, it could cost you years of freedom, tens of thousands…

Doug and I disagree on some points, and that's the fun part…

Obsession, Chess, and the Myth of Mastery | James & Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam on the "New in Chess" Podcast 1:02:12

2M ago1:02:12

1:02:12

A Note from James: So the question is, I really feel that in order to get not good at something, but great at something, you have to be obsessed. You can't just wake up and decide to be obsessed—it has to be deep, almost irrational. Obsession is like addiction. It throws your life off balance, and yet... there’s this insane joy when you enter the s…

3M ago35:08

35:08

Notes from James: Let’s be honest: most people who write a book never make money from it. Why? Because they stop at the last page. I want you to go further.
