311 - Todd Barry: Accidental Comedian: How to Stumble Into Your Calling Jan 30, 2018

Show notes

"It's weird to do something that you didn't really plan on doing," Todd Barry said. He's a comedian and actor. But he wanted to be a musician. "I didn't go on stage with the conscious goal of pursuing comedy. In my mind, I still wanted to be in a band," he said. "And at some point, I think it was like 8 months in where, I was like, 'I guess I guess I'm doing this.'" I wanted to know what kept him going... It was simple. "Weirdly, I don't think I ever said 'I'm thinking about quitting...' which I guess is pretty telling." Maybe that's how you find your calling... By not quitting what you don't hate, you create skill. And skill becomes love. Show Notes: Read Todd's book, "Thank You for Coming to Hattiesburg: One Comedian's Tour of Not-Quite-the-Biggest Cities in the World" Listen to Todd's podcast interview with Judd Apatow This is one of my favorite jokes from Todd Barry Watch Todd in "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" with Jerry Seinfeld I write about all my podcasts!

308 - Erika Ender: Everybody Has Talent Jan 23, 2018

Show notes

Erika Ender was just nominated for "best song of the year." She wrote "Despacito." (Which has 7billion+ views on YouTube.) I first interviewed her in October '17. And I wanted to re-release our conversation to celebrate her. She has so much wisdom and gave me so many powerful takeaways. But one of my favorites is "everybody has their own talent." And when she says it, I believe her. I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!

307 - Kareem Abdul Jabbar: Becoming Kareem: Growing Up On and Off the Court Jan 22, 2018

Show notes

NBA's all-time leading scorer? Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Six-time NBA champion? Kareem Abdul Jabbar. 50 years of athleticism. THAT'S peak performance. Then he combined his career with activism, philanthropy (President Obama awarded him with "The Presidential Medal of Freedom," the nation's highest civilian honor.). He's also collaborated with HBO documentaries to create the highest rated sports documentary in history. I don't know anything about sports. But I'm grateful I got to learn from Kareem. (And now you do, too).

306 - PJ O'Rourke: The Celebrity President Jan 18, 2018

Show notes

PJ told me some unconventional ways to vote for president. "Who would you road trip with?" A lot of people might think they'd say Trump, "but think again," he said. I didn't vote. But I still wanted to know how it happened... (Also, this episode is airing just days before the one year inauguration of President Donald J. Trump.) Full show notes and links here.

305 - Bill Beteet: The Pursuit… Sacrificing Everything You Know for What You Really Love Jan 16, 2018

Show notes

It's weird. Normally, the people I interview on this podcast are at the end of their career. Bill is just starting. He spent years in law school. And then made up his mind (after a day of fasting) that he's going to be a comedian. I wanted to know why... "I calculated it out," he said. "I figured I can out work a lot of these guys. I cultivated this really huge love for stand-up and it imbued my life with meaning the more I sacrifice for it and the harder I pursued it." I feel this podcast is filled with lessons on commitment and confidence, but mostly, on being true to your pursuit. And really choosing yourself... Show Notes: "Choose Yourself" by me, James Altucher Bill's Quora page Bill's TED talk Bill's Show "If You Feel like Killing Yourself, Call Me" WTF with Marc Maron Podcast Nick Ogle "The Hidden Tools of Comedy: The Serious Business of Being Funny" by Steve Kaplan Ari Shafer youtube talk - 4 hours long The Lazy Philosopher (Bill's podcast) Thanks so much for listening!

304 - Dov Davidoff: Vulnerability is Good. (It Can Set You Apart) Jan 15, 2018

Show notes

It's easy to just be an entertainer, but it's a lot harder to be an artist. Dov Davidoff is learning this. And he taught me how he's figuring out how to use his vulnerabilities to his advantage. To set him apart. For him, humor is a way of telling the truth (in an odd sort of way). I'll explain. The truth can be hard to hear. Even if it means trashing your wife on stage. This is Dov's interpretation of comedy. And here's how your vulnerabilities can be used to your advantage... Show Notes: "Road Dog: Life and Reflections from the Road as a Stand-up Comic" by Dov Davidoff The HBO Series, Crashing The NBC Series, Shades of Blue Dov plays characters on both shows! Also Mentioned Gotham Comedy Club Sanford and Son Stockholm Syndrome The 40 Year Old Virgin Freaks and Geeks The George Lopez Show Roseanne Cheers Friends The Comedy Cellar The Village Underground "Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging" by Sebastian Junger Thanks so much for listening!
