This is James Altatour and I am really happy you're listening here now on the very first

episode of the James Altatour show.

We're going to have a guest coming up in a little bit, Tucker Maxx, the well-known author

of As**** Finish First.

We'll find out if it's true if As**** actually do finish first, but first I'm going to talk

to you about what I want to accomplish with this radio show.

Why am I doing this radio show?

Who am I?

So first off, I've run hedge funds, I've managed money, I've built up in sold businesses,

I've destroyed businesses so thoroughly, you can't even find them on the internet, I've

destroyed them so badly, I've succeeded, I've failed, I've gone up, I've gone down, I've

been so depressed and suicidal over failures that it took me years of hard work to come

back and then I would lose it all again and I'd have to come back again so I'm going

to talk a little bit about that process, how we as individuals can reinvent ourselves,

nobody's perfect.

We always get this impression that everybody deal with is perfect, we have the perfect

flaws or the perfect colleagues or everyone driving around in their cars is perfect.

You see this on Facebook all the time.

Nobody ever puts a sad picture on Facebook, they're always having a party and they're

always like having a party and they're holding a glass of alcohol.

If aliens came down and landed on the planet earth and said, okay, let's look at Facebook

to learn what these humans are like, you would think all we do is party and drink alcohol.
