A Note from James:

Ben wrote Bringing Down the House, which became the movie 21. He wrote The Accidental Billionaires, which became The Social Network. And now his latest page-turner, Checkma... more
A Note from James:
Have you ever read The Da Vinci Code?

For someone who thinks he is so smart, you'd think his episode descriptions wouldn't be so littered with spelling and grammatical errors. This guy suggests he is apolitical yet is constantly carrying water for Trump. He should just wear a MAGA hat already. Thumbs down.
One of the reasons we have podcasts - entertaining, enlightening, and educational. Been listening for years now.
Really appreciated episode. Podcast is so diverse and genuine. Thanks!
What stayed with me here is how fear and failure aren’t problems to eliminate, but signals to listen to. When leaders stop treating mistakes as verdicts and start treating them as data, confidence compounds and creativity expands. That reframe alone changes how people move. You created space for that truth with real warmth and depth, and that’s what makes this conversation quietly powerful, not just motivating.
To see a zionist extol the virtues of Peter Thiel and support apartheid. His credibility is in the gutter. I believed in James so much. He has no character. He is a shill. He is NOT a clear-eyed thinker. He’s an ideologue. Break out a giant grain of salt.
