You're listening to the Creating a Brand podcast where we deliver weekly interviews on topics to help entrepreneurs make their first or next step in business the right one.

I am your host, Alex San Felipe. We've all been in a place where we are the new person. Whether we switch job industries or decided to create a new business for ourselves,

it's all something that we're unfamiliar with.

And because of this, people tell us it's going to take us years to understand the ropes of whatever it is that we're starting to do.

Some would even tell you that it will take 10,000 hours to become the best of the best in the space that you are in.

But today's guest has a different idea.

He calls it skipping the line.

In this episode, we are joined by James Altiture.

James is an angel investor, author, stand-up comedian, podcaster, and chess master.

Yes, he has done a lot.

James tells us in his book titled Skip the Line that we can reach our goals faster

if we experiment and think differently about what it is that we are

trying to accomplish. For links to resources that will be mentioned during this episode, please

Altiture, about skipping the line. James, welcome to the Creating a Brand podcast.

So excited to have you with us today.

Alex, thank you so much for having me on your podcast.

I really appreciate it.

Absolutely.

This book, Skip the Line, is one of the most impactful books I've ever read.

You did a phenomenal job with this.

I appreciate it.
