"If there are three ways to win status: one is dominance, one is success, and one is virtue." Fan favorite guest Andrew Gold returns to the show for a 2-part, 2-hour meta-interview focusing on the thornier aspects of interviewing polarizing guests and how the public reacts.In recent years, Andrew Gold has hosted psychopaths, gang members, accused murderers, and cult members. James has taken an apolitical - or possibly anti-political - approach to the guests on his show. While Andrew has been relatively unscathed, James continues to receive backlash from both sides of the political spectrum when interviewing polarizing figures.Enjoy the show's first episode recorded in person at James' house in Georgia!Also make sure to check out his podcast with the link below:https://podfollow.com/on-the-edge-with-andrew-gold------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Today, former Make You a Millionaire mentee James Quandahl hosts James on his one-on-one podcast,  "The James Quandahl Show". Below are the notes James Quandahl wrote to accompany the interview:This is a very special episode because I finally had a chance to record a conversation with someone who needs no introduction for the listeners of this show... my good friend and mentor James Altucher.During today's episode, we discussed why James believes hosting a podcast is like taking classes from the best professors ever.The negative effect social media has on our focus, careers, life, etc.Why we have the tendency to do what is bad for us... even when we know it is bad.And how James feels it may be good to be a little anxious.We dig into why he doesn't consider his writing or podcast to be in the self-help category, and instead how his books are a story of how he helped himself.Finally, we spoke about the ramifications of James's viral article, NYC is Dead Forever, Here's Why, and if James writes to be controversial.We discussed all of this and so much more in today's episode, so please give it a listen and send me a message with your thoughts @JamesQuandahl on Instagram and Twitter...

When the most powerful people in the world are trying to destroy you and you refuse to die, it starts to cross your mind, "What's coming next?" In 2015, Andrew was a world kickboxing champion known to James as the son of International Chess Master Emory Tate.  The two started conversing in the wake of Emory's untimely passing and have sporadically kept in touch.Seven years later, Andrew - retired from competitive contact sports - has taken the internet's mantle as a self-proclaimed free speech advocate "embroiled in a battle against The Matrix". Having been de-platformed from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter despite multi-million followers on each site, James reached out to Andrew looking for clarity into his current situation as an impartial third party.What follows is an unfiltered hour of provocative and polarizing conversation.------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!
