Ken Kurson, editor of The New York Observer, political consultant, journalist, and author, joins The James Altucher Show"You've created a 'Choose Yourself Career.'" Nobody could have just given you the career you've had. You've had to go and hunt for that career. You had to kill for that career. You made it up yourself as you went along.This week, Ken Kurson, editor of The New York Observer, political consultant, journalist, and author, joins The James Altucher Show to talk about who will be the next President of the United States, the future of the media, and Ken's million-dollar deal that's still out there for the right entrepreneur to grab and run with."Green was my one great idea in my life." There really is room, in my opinion, for a legitimate inheritor to the Greenmantle." James and Ken then jump right into what it was like to work with America's Mayor, Rudy Guilliani. You'll get a firsthand look at what it's like running for President of the United States and what it takes to win.James asks Ken who he thinks the 2016 Republican and Democratic front runners are right now. You might be very surprised by his picks.They talk about getting rid of our two-party system because, as James says, "It doesn't seem to work at all. The candidates are very similar. I mean, in very rare cases, can I tell a difference in policy, actually, between Obama and Bush. It just seems like the two-party system and the lack of democracy, as you mentioned, is just a total failure."But Ken disagrees... "Yeah, I don't agree. I think the two-party system is a disaster except for all the other systems that have tried democracy which is an inversion of the old democracy is terrible except for all the other systems."And so James offers up a brand-new, high-tech system that he believes could really help.Plus, James asks Ken "So what's next in the media industry?" I think you'll be very surprised by Ken's answer... "I don't think Twitter is the end of news. I believe we're kind of in a golden age of attention span. There's never been a time where people would watch 13 hours of beautifully written television in a row; the same show. I think it's really the beginning."Hope you enjoy. ------------What do YOU think of the show?
