360 - Joey Coleman: How to Relate to People (Customers, Partners, Bosses, Loved Ones and Cops)

Bryan Johnson has been many things in his life, but the founder of Braintree Venmo's current passion is being - in his parlance - a "Professional Rejuvenation Athlete". Over the past two years, Bryan developed Project Blueprint, a comprehensive health regimen designed to reverse the aging process and increase longevity. After struggling with unhealthy eating habits, Johnson "fired himself" and dedicated his time to researching and experimenting with different health and wellness techniques. He used data-driven approaches to optimize his diet, exercise, and other lifestyle habits, with the goal of improving his overall health and extending his lifespan.In his first year of following Project Blueprint, Johnson achieved remarkable results, reducing his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in just seven months. This amounts to an average age reversal of .73 years per month, a significant accomplishment in the field of anti-aging research.One of the unique aspects of Johnson's approach is his gamification of the age-reversal process. He created The Rejuvenation Olympics, an online leaderboard open to the public designed to motivate himself and others to stay on track with their age reversal goals and to have a public forum to share protocols and validated results for age rejuvenation. This approach helps turn the often daunting task of improving one's health into a fun and engaging game.Johnson also employs a problem-solving approach he calls Zeroth Principle Thinking, which involves breaking down complex problems into their most fundamental components and solving them systematically. This approach helped him create his Goal Alignment Problem, which involves aligning his daily actions and habits with his long-term health goals.One notable aspect of Project Blueprint is that it's available to anyone, free of charge. Johnson has made the information and tools he's developed publicly accessible, with the hope of helping as many people as possible achieve better health and a longer lifespan.Overall, Bryan Johnson's Project Blueprint represents an innovative and data-driven approach to health and longevity, with potential implications for the broader field of anti-aging research.------------What do YOU think of the show?

In this episode of the James Altucher Show, James sits down with Tim Urban, author of the popular blog "Wait But Why" to discuss his latest book What's Our Problem? A Self-Help Book for Societies.Tim Urban is known for his ability to explain complex topics in a relatable way, and this interview is no exception. James and Tim explore a variety of societal issues, including the increasing polarization of American society in the past decade. They delve into the reasons behind this polarization, including the concept of societal echo chambers versus idea labs.One of the key insights that Tim shares from his book is that there are two games being played in the socio-political world. The first game, which Tim calls "Political Disney World", is the game that both the left and the right are playing with each other. In this game, each side views themselves as heroes and the opposition as villains, with no middle ground. The second game, which is the unspoken nuance that many individuals silently agree with but are scared to voice their opinions for fear of being expelled from their spoken tribe, is what Tim calls "Game 2".Tim emphasizes the need for players of "Game 2" on both sides of the political spectrum to push back against "Game 1" because the current state of affairs is actually harmful to effectively promoting the ideals of either in the present.James and Tim also touch upon the concept of an idea spectrum, which gravitates between thinking like a scientist on one pole, a sports fan in the middle, and a zealot at the other pole. They discuss how individuals can move away from a zealot mindset and towards a more scientific mindset, which involves seeking out new information and being open to changing one's beliefs based on that new information.Throughout the conversation, Tim shares practical solutions for creating a more cohesive and harmonious society, emphasizing the importance of empathy and communication in solving societal issues.Listen on for a fresh perspective on the challenges we face as a society and actionable solutions for creating a better future. Buy What's Our Problem?

The US financial system has been going through a period of uncertainty, with various factors contributing to this state of affairs. One major issue that has been in the news recently is the occurrence of bank runs and mid-size bank insolvencies. These events have caused concerns about the stability of the banking sector and the broader financial system.Another factor that has contributed to the current uncertainty is the massive fluctuation of cryptocurrencies. The prices of popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have seen significant fluctuations, with prices soaring to record highs at times and plummeting to new lows at others. This volatility has raised questions about the role of cryptocurrencies in the financial system and their potential impact on traditional banking and finance.In addition to these domestic issues, there is also growing concern about China's increasing influence as an international deal broker. As China's economy continues to grow and expand, it is seeking to play a greater role in global finance and trade. This has led to some anxiety about the future of US financial dominance and the potential for China to become a major player in the international financial system.To shed light on these issues, James and his guest, Cal Fussman, are joined by resident financial expert Omid Malekan. Together, they discuss the root causes of the current uncertainty, the issues that are worth worrying over, and what the future may hold for the American financial system. By examining these issues in depth, they hope to provide insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the US financial system in the years ahead.------------Read Omid's book: Re-Architecting Trust: The Curse of History and the Crypto Cure for Money, Markets, and Platforms------------What do YOU think of the show?

In this podcast episode, James talks to our producer Jay Yow about the show's first ten years, James' experience with interviewing before starting the podcast, and his podcast goals for the next decade. This conversation comes after James has conducted 1300 interviews over nearly a decade.James has a rich and varied background in media and entertainment, which has informed his approach to podcasting. Prior to launching his show, James worked at HBO, where he developed and produced the web series "3 AM." This project, which followed the lives of New York City night owls, was ahead of its time and was an early example of the kind of storytelling that would come to define podcasting.After leaving HBO, James went on to help other creators launch successful podcasts, including Tim Ferriss, whose show has become one of the most popular and influential podcasts in the world. James' experience with Ferriss helped inform the importance of having a strong point of view and being willing to take risks to create something truly unique.Throughout his career as a podcast host, James has had his share of fears and favorite moments. He admits that it can be nerve-wracking to interview high-profile guests or tackle sensitive topics, but he also finds great joy in the process of discovery and the opportunity to share fascinating stories with his audience. Some of his favorite moments as a host include the times when he has been surprised by the insights or perspectives of his guests, or when he has been able to cultivate friendships with his interviewees such as chess legend Garry Kasparov.Despite the challenges and uncertainties of the industry, James remains passionate about podcasting and is excited to see where the medium will go in the years to come. His experience and perspective have helped him to create a show that is both entertaining and insightful, and he continues to push himself to take risks and explore new avenues of storytelling.What do YOU think of the show?
