He's back ladies and gentleman. Excited to have James Altucher join us. He is a top podcaster and has written several bestselling books.

He and I actually are meeting up for a third time (catch his first and second So Money interviews here if you missed them) on this show to talk about all the crazy stuff happening in the world. We do a lot of catching up and, of course, we talk about money. We also talk about minimalism as James is now taking on a very minimalist lifestyle... only living in airbnb's. We also talk about Bernie Madoff and how did Bernie actually get away with his crime for so many years.? I finally get the chance to ask James this question as he is the "Wall Street whiz." Also, James kindly takes time to answer some of YOUR personal, specific money questions.

Can you imagine going from fighting drug addiction, alcoholism, to then combatting PTSD to today, writing a book where the Dali Lama writes the forward? That is our guest today, Akshay Nanavati. He aspires to live a limitless lifestyle and we can too, apparently. His book is coming out this fall but he's joining us now as we celebrate independence week. This is a man who's found his own freedom.

His new book is called, "Fearvana: The Revolutionary Science of How to Turn Fear Into Health, Wealth and Happiness." The Dalai Lama has even said the following about it, "Fearvana inspires us to look beyond our own agonizing experiences and find the positive side of our lives."

To say that Akshay has an inspiring story is an understatement. He's overcome drug addiction, alcoholism and PTSD from fighting the war in Iraq. He's combined his life experiences with years of research in science and spirituality which led him to this book.

Do you think a college degree is really that important anymore? Will college even be around in 10 years? The institution, as we know it, is starting to transform thanks to visionaries like Adam Braun, our guest today, who's recently launched a college alternative called MissionU.
You may know Adam as the founder of Pencils of Promise, a non-profit that has built more than 400 schools around the developing world. Now he's launching a very different type of college experience called MissionU, a one-year program that offers students the modern skills and experience to launch a successful career.
Adam was first exposed to what he describes as a broken higher education system when he witnessed his wife's experience. She had over $100K in college debt and no bachelor's degree to show for it. MissionU became Adam's solution for a higher-quality, debt-free education that positions students for success.
