Wall Street Insane! EP04: I was so miserable, I just want to get out...

Exponential Organizations 2.0, by Peter Diamandis & Salim Ismail, is a new book - and a new book format - that offers valuable insights into how companies can achieve exponential growth and impact by leveraging the latest technologies. You can now talk directly with the book that generated $1B for Procter & Gamble using OpenExO's chatbot, AI-X. You can register for free for the Exponential Organizations 2.0 Launch Event on June 6th, 2023 at 8 am PST, which will give you access to this new book as well as the ability to watch a 3-hour webinar discussing specifics of these topics with the book's authors.In today's episode, Peter and Salim discuss the billion-dollar businesses of the next decade, focusing on the 11  attributes of ExOs laid out in the book. Not all ExOs exhibit all 11 attributes, but they all incorporate many of them.The first 10 attributes of an Exponential Organization can be divided into "outward facing" and "internally facing" traits. The first five, encapsulated by the acronym SCALE, are outward-facing attributes, and the second five, encapsulated by the acronym IDEAS, are internally-facing attributes.SCALE attributes:Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP)Staff on DemandCommunity and CrowdAlgorithms and AILeveraged AssetsIDEAS attributes:InterfacesDashboardsExperimentationAutonomySocial TechnologiesFor example, a company like Uber uses a gig economy platform to hire external workers on a per-project basis (Staff on Demand) and leverages social media to engage with and learn from a community of like-minded individuals (Community and Crowd), exhibiting SCALE attributes. Meanwhile, a company that encourages experimentation in all departments of the organization and allows individual employees or teams to operate independently and effectively (Autonomy), exhibits an IDEAS attribute.In addition to these, the eleventh attribute is a culture of experimentation. This attribute refers to the importance of constantly testing new ideas and approaches in order to stay ahead of the competition and discover new opportunities for growth. For example, Google's "20% time" policy allows employees to spend 20% of their time working on their own projects, which led to the creation of innovative products like Gmail and Google Maps.This book is a must-read for anyone looking to future-proof their organization and this interview will convince you why.After you listen, remember to register for free for the Exponential Organizations 2.0 Launch Event being held June 8th, 2023 at 8 am PST!------------What to write and publish a book in 30 days?

Why do we use money? How did we get to the point where billions of US dollars can be created by the Federal Reserve with the click of a button for bills that are never printed and have no relation to the finite assets those dollars used to be pegged against? Are cryptocurrencies and the digital blockchain the next evolution of worldwide finance?The answer - according to Omid Malekan - is trust, and on today's episode of Ask Altucher, he and James take this conversation back thousands of years to the beginning of 'commodity money' and walk through its evolution to the present day.Omid has been studying the relationship between trust and money for decades, working as a stockbroker, lead cryptocurrency consultant for Citi Group, professor at Columbia Business School, and author of  several books, including Re-Architecting Trust: the Curse of History and the Crypto Cure for Money, Markets and Platforms as well as The Story of the Blockchain: A Beginner's Guide to the Technology That Nobody Understands.If you ever wanted to understand how and why the worldwide financial system operates, Omid explains it all in explicit yet accessible detail. Even seasoned financial professionals will take new nuggets of information away from this conversation.------------What to write and publish a book in 30 days?

In this engaging episode of Ask Altucher, James welcomes a special guest, the renowned podcast host and relationship/networking expert, Jordan Harbinger. Together, they dive deep into a highly sought-after question from one of our dedicated listeners, Steve Blackburn. Steve's query resonates with many of us, as he asks a fundamental question that has the potential to transform our lives: "Since you always mention you're an average of the five people you spend the most time with, how do I develop relationships with more successful people so I surround myself with a better five people?"With his wealth of knowledge and experience, Jordan Harbinger takes the reins and shares his invaluable insights on this matter. Drawing from his expertise in relationships and networking, Jordan provides practical strategies and actionable steps that can be implemented in various aspects of life, whether it's personal relationships, professional networking, or even the dynamic landscape of the media industry.Through their engaging dialogue, Jordan and James shed light on the power of intentional relationship-building, the art of networking, and the role of social media platforms in forging meaningful connections.------------What to write and publish a book in 30 days?

James sits down with renowned author and psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy to discuss Dr. Hardy's highly anticipated book, 10x Is Easier than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less, the third book he's co-authored with the accomplished entrepreneur and coach, Dan Sullivan.The conversation began with Altucher delving into the title of the book, intrigued by the idea that achieving ten times more success might be easier than merely doubling one's productivity. Benjamin emphasizes that their book challenges the widely held belief that more effort and hard work are the only paths to success. Instead, Dr. Hardy and Sullivan propose a unique approach that emphasizes simplification, focus, and leveraging one's unique abilities. By narrowing their focus, world-class entrepreneurs can strategically delegate or eliminate non-essential tasks, thereby creating more time and energy for high-impact endeavors.The conversation delved into specific strategies discussed in the book, such as creating a vivid vision for the future, setting non-negotiable boundaries to protect one's time and energy, and harnessing the power of accountability through strategic partnerships or mentorship. Dr. Hardy and Sullivan's collaborative work provide a comprehensive roadmap for entrepreneurs looking to maximize their impact while experiencing more fulfillment and balance in their lives.With the right mindset, deliberate focus, and a commitment to doing less but better, entrepreneurs can unlock unprecedented levels of success and fulfillment.------------What do YOU think of the show?
