Description
Will James Altucher have the same level of success calling the White House that he did 36 years earlier, as an inquisitive twelve-year-old? Today, we learn that James' podcasting days began long before he teamed up with Stephen, as James attempted to have phone interviews with every Congressperson and the President of the United States while in elementary school. As James tells his story, we're regaled to the dulcet tones of the White House switchboard's hold music.This episode is sponsored by Magoosh.
