Summary

We've all heard people say, "You've got to pay your dues" or the concept of the 10,000-hour rule. But what if it didn't have to be that way? What if you could skip the line, so to speak, and accelerate the results of your life while everyone else stands in line simply waiting for their turn.

That's what my guest today, the one and only James Altucher, and I discuss – how to use the concept of 10,000 experiments, not 10,000 hours. We talk about why "stay in your lane" is bad advice, how to become the top 1% in your field much more efficiently, how to become an idea-generating machine, harnessing the power of "idea sex," and how to creatively add value to others so you can win faster.
