A Note from James:So the question is, I really feel that in order to get not good at something, but great at something, you have to be obsessed. You can't just wake up and decide to be obsessed—it has to be deep, almost irrational. Obsession is like addiction. It throws your life off balance, and yet... there's this insane joy when you enter the subculture of your obsession and get better at it.I've seen this recently in crypto. I saw it in chess in Norway, commenting on what might've been the best chess tournament ever. And I felt it again when I sat down with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam from New In Chess.We didn't just talk about chess. We talked about obsession, aging, failing at something you love, and trying to find your place in a subculture that's moved on without you.If you care about learning, obsession, or just love chess, you're going to get something out of this episode. Dirk and I recorded this in Stavanger, Norway. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did being a part of it.Episode Description:What does it mean to return to your first love after nearly 30 years away? In this special crossover episode, James Altucher sits down with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam, editor of New In Chess magazine, to reflect on his lifelong (and recently rekindled) obsession with chess. They explore how obsession shapes mastery, why wisdom sometimes trumps raw skill, and what it's like to try and reclaim an old identity as an older version of yourself.James opens up about losing games to kids half his age, obsessively chasing improvement, and why it still might be okay to fail—as long as the journey is honest. From teenage blitz tournaments to dinner with Garry Kasparov, from neuroscience to narrative writing, this episode is as much about how to live as it is about how to play.What You'll Learn:Why obsession is both a superpower and a dangerHow James approaches relearning chess after a 27-year breakWhat changes in the brain as we age—and how to work with itThe surprising ways chess opens doors in life, business, and writingWhy storytelling and vulnerability matter more than "success" aloneTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] The Power of Obsession[01:00] Travel Tales: Norway and Crypto[03:00] Chess Commentary and Podcasting with Dirk Jan[05:00] Dirk Jan's Intro on James Altucher[08:00] James' Curiosity and Love of Learning[10:00] Starting Chess at 17 and Becoming Addicted[13:00] Losing to Irena Krush and Facing Limits[17:00] Chess, Ego, and Real-World Consequences[22:00] How Chess Skills Apply to Business Problems[26:00] Writing as a Path Through Vulnerability[33:00] Returning to Chess: Memory, Aging, and Rediscovery[37:00] Eric Rosen, Coaches, and Mental Decline[41:00] Pattern Recognition vs. Calculation[47:00] What Makes Chess Players Unique[50:00] Interviewing Kasparov, Judit Polgar, Hikaru[56:00] Obsession and the Myth of Talent[58:00] Will the Book Get Written?[60:00] The James Altucher Invitational[62:00] Reflecting on the JourneyAdditional Resources:

What if the root of your team's challenges isn't the people, but the system they're working in? Are you solving problems… or just putting out fires over and over again? In this episode, along with Jessica Maine, we talk about how using an “ecosystem” mindset can change the way businesses solve problems and build stronger teams. We share a clip from one of our live Soul Collective training sessions, where we explain why seeing a business as a connected system helps leaders find the real cause of ongoing issues. With tools like the five whys and the fishbone diagram, leaders can fix the root problems instead of just patching things up. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how these methods work in our community. We show how open conversations, teamwork, and creative thinking lead to better results. If you're a leader in strategy or operations, a coach, or someone helping teams grow, this episode is full of practical tips and real examples.

In this episode, I explore the profound similarities between endurance running and building a successful business. Drawing from my own journey as both a business owner and runner over the past three years, I break down three key parallels: how building an aerobic base through boring, consistent Zone 2 training mirrors the slow, unglamorous daily work required in business; how proper nutrition for athletic performance parallels feeding your mind with quality information while weeding out negativity; and how advanced race fueling strategies compare to leveraging mentors and conferences to accelerate business growth. I explain why there's no overnight success in either discipline—only the compound effect of small, consistent efforts over time that eventually create the "hockey stick" growth curve everyone wants. This perspective has transformed how I approach both running and business, reminding me that excellence in any area requires the same core principles of consistency, patience, and strategic improvement.

This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to eliminate the risk that cost businesses thousands of $ per second of downtime. My guest is Ozan Unlu, Founder and CEO of Edge Delta. Ozan has had an unconventional career path that spans multiple disciplines. He started as a nanoscientist and researcher before transitioning into the tech world. His professional journey includes roles at major tech companies. He worked as a Software Development Lead and Program Manager at Microsoft, and as a Senior Solutions Architect at Sumo Logic. In September 2018, he founded Edge Delta after recognizing the need for a new approach to handling the exponential growth of data in modern organizations. Their mission: Change the way enterprises manage their data - particularly in mission-critical systems. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Ozan to my podcast. We explore what it takes to navigate the complexities of building a successful B2B SaaS company in a competitive landscape. He elaborates on his approach to solving mission-critical problems and building credibility in deep-tech enterprise markets around a new category. Ozan also shares how he's maintaining a long-term vision while addressing urgent needs - and what he's doing differently to assemble and align a world-class team. Lastly, he discusses the challenges of market education, gaining early adopters, and scaling efficiently.  Here's one of his quotes If you're at an early-stage startup, look at how you're solving problems. Don't put more problems on other people's plates. Say, “Hey, this is how I'm solving a problem. This is what I think is the best approach.” And if people disagree with you, just make sure you're walking away with a mutual commitment.  We do this all the time, whether it's myself or someone else at the company where you say, You know what, I disagree, but I'm committed. Let's go do it that way.  That's super important because when you're dealing with companies that make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits a day, that is very hard to fight against if you aren't all in lockstep and marching forward. During this interview, you will learn four things: What he learned from their rapid growth period (6x employees in one year) and what he'd do differently next time. Why he's saying no to companies like Apple (even though they might be able to help them). Why he continues to focus on solving big technical problems rather than taking an easier route. What he's done to build credibility and trust in the market.

Scott Hebner, an experienced AI analyst and former IBM executive, brings a wealth of knowledge on the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. After transitioning from a corporate role to advisory work, Hebner has focused on how AI is transforming industries, particularly small businesses. He highlights the shift from traditional predictive AI models to powerful generative AI tools that are democratizing access to cutting-edge technology. Small businesses, in particular, are benefiting from AI's ability to streamline operations, improve decision-making, and increase productivity, leveling the playing field with larger enterprises. As AI continues to evolve, the next big leap is goal-oriented AI agents—systems that autonomously pursue objectives and solve complex business problems. Hebner emphasizes how businesses must adapt quickly to this fast-paced development and invest in AI talent to stay competitive. The demand for skilled AI professionals is growing, but the supply is lagging, creating an urgent need for investments in education and training to build the workforce of the future. The intersection of AI and decision-making is also transforming industries, with causal AI emerging as a powerful tool for understanding cause and effect in business scenarios. To stay up-to-date on the latest AI trends and developments, follow Scott Hebner and explore theCUBE Research newsletters for in-depth and expert insights on the cutting edge of AI and technology.  Whether you're a small business owner or a tech enthusiast, these resources are a great way to stay informed and ahead of the curve in the AI revolution.

When business owners and entrepreneurs struggle to resolve an intractable problem, they often blame everyone and everything but the true culprit. Themselves. Often, what they should be thinking, says Steve McCready — who spent more than 15 years as a psychotherapist before becoming a business coach — is, “It's not you, it's me.” Steve is a “magic eraser” for the root causes of many business problems, including owner self-doubt, lack of focus, and feeling overwhelmed. You don't have to lie on the couch while listening to this week's podcast, Steve assures listeners, but you will want to be comfortable and create a psychologically safe space.

Guest: Gene Kim, AuthorOn Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/realgenekim/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/RealGeneKim____________________________Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber]On ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/sean-martin____________________________This Episode's SponsorsImperva | https://itspm.ag/imperva277117988Pentera | https://itspm.ag/penteri67a___________________________Episode NotesIn this episode of Redefining CyberSecurity on the ITSPmagazine Podcast Network, host Sean Martin engages in an insightful conversation with Gene Kim, co-author of "Wiring the Winning Organization". The discussion revolves around the transformative concept of 'Shifting Left' in DevOps, a strategy that has allowed tech giants like Amazon to achieve a staggering 136,000 deployments per day.Kim likens this breakthrough to a collaborative effort between developers and operators, comparing it to the teamwork required to move a couch. He also explores the crucial role of information security in this process, underlining the necessity for security to equip developers with the tools to work independently, thereby serving as the first line of defense. Don't let security sit on the couch while you're trying to move it!The conversation transitions into an exploration of the three mechanisms of performance: slowification, simplification, and amplification. Kim uses relatable real-life examples to elucidate these concepts, emphasizing the importance of timely and accurate information for effective decision-making and problem-solving. The more you know up front, the better off you'll be.Drawing on his extensive work on the state of DevOps research, Kim discusses the predictors of high performance and how these principles apply to DevOps. He also points to the growing trend of specialization within DevOps and the emerging need for 'platform engineering,' a system that enables developers to focus on solving business problems while specialists handle the complex technical aspects.This episode provides listeners with a deeper understanding of the evolution and future of DevOps, the importance of information security, and how these principles can be applied to enhance overall security programs. It also serves as an introduction to the Gene co-authored with Steven J. Spear. Be sure to listen to the podcast that Marco Ciappelli had with Spear on his Redefining Society Podcast.About the bookForget vision, grit, or culture. Wiring the Winning Organization reveals the hidden circuitry that drives organizational excellence.Drawing on decades of meticulous research of high-performing organizations and cross-population surveys of tens of thousands of employees, award-winning authors Gene Kim and Dr. Steven J. Spear introduce a groundbreaking new theory of organizational management. Organizations win by using three mechanisms to slowify, simplify, and amplify, which systematically moves problem-solving from high-risk danger zones to low-risk winning zones.Wiring the Winning Organization shines an investigative light on some of the most famous organizations, including Toyota, Amazon, Apple, and NASA, revealing how leaders create the social wiring that enables exceptional results.This is not feel-good inspiration or armchair philosophy but a data-driven prescriptive playbook for creating excellence grounded in real-world results and proven theory. This is the rare business book that delivers concrete tools―not platitudes―to convert mediocrity into mastery.____________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:
