Summary
James Altucher is a chess master, writer, entrepreneur, investor, podcaster and comedian.
Everyone talks about compound improvements being the key to progress, but how can you systematise that into your life so you're growing every day?
And how can you harness the power of idea generation to build your mental muscles & create opportunities in your life? James explains how he experiments in his life by playing around with new ideas all the time.
This is the first in a two-part episode with James, they can be enjoyed separately or together. I figured I'd try experimenting with ideas too!
