Episode 1696:

James Altucher lays out a raw and honest look at what it truly means to be an entrepreneur, not when you have a business card or a dream, but when you've navigated failure, reinvented yourself, and found a way to earn back trust and money. His insights cut through the glamorized startup myths, offering a reality check that's both sobering and empowering for anyone on the entrepreneurial path.

Quotes to ponder:

"You’re not an entrepreneur when you have an idea. You’re not an entrepreneur when you have a business card."

"You’re an entrepreneur when you make a sale. When you build something valuable."

"Every time I failed, I had to reinvent myself. And it was always painful."
