So this is part two, but it's completely different from part one, completely different topics, 100%.

And what this episode ultimately boiled down to is when should you give up on something

that's important to you?

And we also talk about some BS that's been happening in college campuses lately and, you know, some things that have been personally hitting both of us.

So here's Brian Keating again. Enjoy. This isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host.

This is the James Altager show. So yeah, we haven't really caught up. What's new? What is going on with you? What's the stuff well you know things are things are kind of

interesting for me I've finally gotten to a point where you know I don't really have

I would say I am I've accomplished a lot of stuff in the last few years I've had last year is my best year you know that I've ever had my whole life I had just incredible trips and and fun family time and great stuff at work and I was on your podcast a couple times

The highlight of the year and you helped me prepare for my Joe Rogan podcast. That was the last time we talked back in August I think and then I went on Joe

Rogan and I was on Jordan Peterson's podcast and I was I did some teaching for

Jordan Peterson's online university and you know it was just a great year

except for the you know really horrific

terrorist attack in Israel which happened about a week after I was there

celebrating my bar mitzvah with my family in Israel.

You know, basically a week or two later,

we got back and all hell broke loose

and then that was really, I mean,

it kind of compensated for all the joy in some sense in the year and really just left it as as

you know a very a very negative year overall because of you know my connections to

Israel how's how's US because of you know my connections to Israel.

How's US, how's UCSD University of California,

and San Diego? How is it reacting to all of this?
