A Note from James:"The Year of Living Constitutionally." I mentioned this episode last week during our discussion with AJ Jacobs, but here we delve into his book, "The Year of Living Constitutionally." AJ not only researched and wrote about the Constitution, but he also spent a year living as if it were 1790, adhering to the U.S. Constitution literally. He even carried a musket and applied to be a pirate in Congress, referencing Article One, which grants Congress the power to commission pirates.The book is filled with facts, debates, and information about the newfound powers of the Supreme Court, Congress, and the President, as well as the pros and cons of states' rights versus federal rights. It covers the reasons behind various amendments and the ongoing debates about the Electoral College.AJ not only researched this; he lived it. I discussed his unique method of immersing himself in his subjects on last week's podcast, a method that has proven successful in creating bestsellers. With his humor, talent, and depth of information, AJ brings a fresh perspective to the U.S. Constitution in "The Year of Living Constitutionally: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Constitution's Original Meaning."And here's my good friend, AJ Jacobs.Episode Description:In this compelling episode of 'The James Altucher Show', James sits down with the endlessly curious and ever-experimenting AJ Jacobs, the author behind the intriguing ‘The Year of Living Constitutionally'. Delving into AJ's unique journey of trying to live by the U.S. Constitution's original tenets, this conversation unfolds a treasure trove of insights, historical quirks, and the profound impact of such an experiment on one's understanding of democracy and personal freedoms today.James and AJ unpack the myriad lessons learned from this year-long adventure, touching upon the original intent behind the Constitution's creation, the contemporary relevance of its mandates, and the often humorous, sometimes bizarre challenges of adhering to its original rules in the modern world. From carrying a musket in New York City to applying to become a legal pirate, AJ's experiences provide a unique lens through which we explore the founding document of the United States.Beyond the historical anecdotes and constitutional debates, this episode shines a light on the dynamic interplay between law, personal belief, and the evolving landscape of American democracy. James and AJ's dialogue ventures into the complexities of freedom of speech, the implications of the Electoral College, and the changing powers of the presidency, offering listeners a nuanced perspective on what the Constitution means in today's context.More than just a discussion, this episode is an invitation to reflect on the living spirit of the Constitution, encouraging us to consider how its foundational principles influence our lives and society at large.Episode Summary:00:00 Diving Into the Year of Living Constitutionally01:11 AJ Jacobs' Unique Method of Experiencing History02:56 Exploring the Original Meaning of the U.S. Constitution07:09 The Surprising Realities of Early American Laws15:26 The Evolution of Free Speech in America21:11 The Supreme Court's Role and the 14th Amendment23:37 The Growing Power of the Presidency24:21 Historical Debates and the Idea of Multiple Presidents26:04 The Evolution of Presidential Powers29:54 The Founders' Flexibility and the Constitution's Compromises37:49 The Challenges of Federal Regulation and Overregulation42:02 Reforming the Constitution for Modern Times45:42 AJ Jacobs on Writing and Future ProjectsAdditional ResourcesAJ Jacobs: https://ajjacobs.com/The Year of Living Biblically by AJ JacobsThe Year of Living Constitutionally (Link will be added once available)Federalist Papers - Authored by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James MadisonJames Altucher ------------What do YOU think of the show?

As the country shifts into full-fledged Draft Mode, the name “Chase Griffin” may not ring a bell. You won't see the UCLA quarterback's name appear in mock drafts. Griffin still has one year of eligibility and the former Gatorade Player of the Year in Texas hasn't seen the field a ton.However, his impact off the field has been substantial. The two-time “NIL Athlete of the Year” has shown all college athletes how to navigate this new wild west. Griffin is the first active college athlete to testify in front of Congress on NIL (Name, Image and Likeness), launched The Athlete's Bureau on Substack and has arguably been the most public voice on the subject. (You can follow Griffin on X and IG.)This is all strange new terrain for college sports with 19- and 20-year-olds jumping in and out of the transfer portral. What does the future hold? Griffin helps us make sense of it all. You can listen to the audio above or inside the Go Long Podcast feeds on Apple, Spotify and YouTube. Video is below.Also, for more, check out this piece on Griffin at Dave Campbell's Texas Football, written by Carter Yates. Thanks, all.Miss Part I of our Mailbag this week?

We're going back to the union drive at KCVG in Northern Kentucky, Amazon's largest air hub in the world. Griffin Ritze is the latest worker to be fired by Amazon as part of their shameful anti-union campaign—he was fired for no other reason than for helping to organize the union. Hear from Griffin about Amazon's slimy union-busting tactics, how the union is leveraging Amazon's attacks against them, and how they're ramping up organizing structures to build the kind of campaign that can win. The KCVG union drive has been receiving increasing attention as workers fight for a $30 an hour starting wage, 180 hours paid time off, union representation at disciplinary meetings, and translation rights for all workers. Amazon is terrified of this democratic, rank-and-file union campaign, and they've shown again and again that they're prepared to use every dirty — and illegal — tactic in the book to try to crush it.  KCVG workers aren't taking this lying down—they're using all of Amazon's union-busting attacks to further build momentum to win union recognition and a strong contract.

IF you choose to avail yourself of this exquisite journey you will find Art that is beautifully integrated into its surroundings in "Farm Forms" as well as "Pasture Performances" filled with music, merriment and mirth and (as if that wasn't enough) fermented culinary treats at area "Food Chain" marketplaces filled with food, art and ideas.  Jay Salinas is the Director of Special Projects & Outreach at the Wormfarm Institute which coordinates the Farm/Art D'Tour.  Jay is an artist, farmer and co-founder of Wormfarm. He coordinates the Artist Residency program, and leads food and agriculture outreach initiatives. He helped conceptualize the Farm/Art D'Tour and has served as juror, logistics and Food Chain coordinator from 2011-2020. Trained as a sculptor, Jay holds a BFA from University of IL Champaign and an MFA from University of Cincinnati. He has operated a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm since 1995.

China's growing power like tentacles of an octopus, enveloping the world

Segment 1 - Dr. Mark Christian, how a committed Muslim converted to Christianity; Segment 2 - David Fiorazo, how Disney's depravity and power have been growing for decades. Daily podcast, relevant articles on issues pertaining to Christians and more can be found on Stand Up For The Truth.

Since Trump never went away like a good ex-president should, we must continue to be vigilant, as his hapless followers are determined to wreak havoc on our democracy. There are many strains of this toxicity. One of the most pernicious is the Christian Nationalism movement. It just ain't going away. In these 2 episodes from March 2022 we speak with Rev. Nathaniel Manderson. He's a Baptist minister who is working hard to make a case that Evangelicals should not support this oppressive, bigoted movement.

Why is Putin pushing for Control over Ukraine?, Who is Influencing Putin in his Decisions on Invading Ukraine?, Will  Western NATO forces be Able to Deter Putin?, Is Pakistan Threatened by the Taliban's Growing Power in Afghanistan? Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience. 1)  Why is Putin pushing for Control over Ukraine?   Putin has made claims that Ukraine should not become a NATO member.   It threatens Russian security.  But he also is trying to annex Crimea fully into Russian territory,  and supports 'independent state status' for territory in Eastern Ukraine.  Does he have a point that these Russian-speaking areas should be returned to control of Russia or become independent?2)  Who is Influencing Putin in his Decisions on Invading Ukraine?:   The Western media suggests that Putin is in control over the decision to invade Ukraine.  Is that true?  Doesn't the Russian military, the intelligence service and other groups have any say?  If so,  what are they saying?  3)  Will  Western NATO forces be Able to Deter Putin?:   The NATO members seem to have gained strength in facing down this Russian aggression.  Has Putin miscalculated in his hopes to fragment Europe from the USA?  4)  Is Pakistan Threatened by the Taliban's Growing Power in Afghanistan?:  For years, Pakistan supported the Afghan Taliban, and allowed their high command to operate from Quetta,  Pakistan.  Reportedly the Pakistan intelligence even helped arm and train Taliban fighters.  But now the Taliban inside Pakistan is causing trouble and attacking the Pakistan Army.  They want nuclear-armed Pakistan to become a true 'Islamic Caliphate'.  What is going on?  CHOICE PEST MANAGEMENT for South Florida High-grade pest control services in Stuart, Vero Beach, Palm city, Port St. Lucie , and Fort PierceCoastal Complete Direct Primary Care Redefining your expectations for quality medical care.

This special episode of the ChinaPower Podcast is the fifth of six featuring the audio from the China Power Project's sixth annual conference. This keynote took place on December 14, 2021 and featured US Senator Steve Daines' discussion of Congress' outlook on the challenges and opportunities posed by China's growing power.   Senator Daines has served as a U.S. Senator for Montana since 2015. He is currently the Co-Chair of the Senate US-China Working Group, which works to strengthen U.S. dialogue with China through monthly briefings to share expertise from key business, academic, and political leaders. In addition, Senator Daines is a Commissioner on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, which works to establish a framework of relations with China on a wide variety of issues such as human rights, civil society, and rule of law. He also serves on the Senate Committees on Finance, Banking Housing and Urban Affairs; Energy and Natural Resources; and Indian Affairs.   This event is made possible by the generous support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

While the cat's away, the mice will play. For the sake of this metaphor, the cat represents school parents and their children — waylaid by a global pandemic — with little to do save for purchasing better webcams and hope the tiny picture inside the screen knows what it's talking about. That leaves our mice — fascinating little buggers. For example, did you know the most prominent temperament associated with mice is dominance? …and so we have our teachers unions, flexing on the nation's education system, whilst parents juggle a job, remote learning, and the never-ending search for that Google Classroom login info. All that's to say, we've been distracted. And teachers unions like the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have been making some controversial changes — expanding their influence and power over policy — while most of us can't even muster the strength to get out to a PTA meeting.

Can a controversial or provocative podcast always get you big downloads? Is it worth it for you, your brand or for your audience and community? Vincent Pugliese recently shared a post on Social Media (Facebook in this case) on a Joe Rogan interview with Dr. Robert Malone. NO - This isn't about politics or state of healthcare. It's about 11 MILLION DOWNLOADS. It's about surpassing traditional television. It's about the evolution of podcasting and it's undeniable growth. So the question for today is: What is the landscape in podcasting and where does it fit in media? Does a podcast have to have a divisive topic to go viral?

There are two great Will Allens in organic agriculture. One is a 6'7” former professional basketball player and founder of Growing Power in Milwaukee, the renowned urban agriculture training center. The other Will Allen is an organic farming pioneer and activist who started out as a professor at UC Santa Barbara, but was fired and jailed for his anti-Vietnam war activism. No longer able to work in academia, he took up farming following in his father's footsteps. Will's zeal for justice and reform was transferred to agriculture. He founded the Sustainable Cotton Project (SCP) in 1990, which helped farmers transition to organic while reducing farmworker exposure to pesticides. SCP created markets for organic cotton selling to major manufacturers like Patagonia, Esprit, Levis, Marks and Spencer, and Nike. Understanding that war creates more victims than heroes, Will became a founding member of Farms Not Arms (now the Farmer Veteran Coalition), which helps veterans heal from the trauma of war by training them for jobs in agriculture. Will moved from California to Vermont to farm and became active in the Vermont GMO labeling law campaign. He farms with his wife Kate Duesterberg on 40 acres, producing a diversity of vegetables and fruits, grains, oil sunflower, dry beans, and ornamental and cut flowers. The farm has a certified kitchen producing organic products, and an organic coffee shop. The Cedar Circle Farm educational program hosts over a thousand school kids each year. I sat down with Will at the 2016 Eco Farm Conference to talk about his work with Regeneration Vermont that promotes climate-friendly agriculture, social justice for farmworkers, stewardship of the natural environment and the production of healthy food. At the age of 80, Will is still a vital and transformative force, steadily pushing the food system to be more accountable, more in tune with nature and to be in service of human and ecosystem health. Listen to the excerpt of my interview with Will Allen below.

In a digital world, the ability to code – to train a computer, using its own language – is key, hence the enormous push to make people literate in programming languages. “Don't just play on your phone,” urged President Barack Obama in 2013, “program it.”  But today the demand for digital applications outstrips the programming talent. The became especially clear during COVID-19, when digital accessibility became a necessity. Enter low-code and no-code application development: Platforms where software is configured visually, using drag and drop interfaces. They're faster and cheaper to use than traditional coding, but how well do they work?   On today's Brainstorm, Brian O'Keefe and Fortune's Robert Hackett discuss the promise of low-code and no-code platforms, and how they've stood the test of emergency situations brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Laela Sturdy is a general partner at CapitalG, Alphabet's independent growth fund, which helps growth-stage tech companies scale. She says the attraction of these platforms is to enable creators and non-technical people to access the power and magic of code.   Michael Beckley is the Chief Technology Officer of Appian, the first company to go public as a low-code vendor. He says low-code has the power to deliver clients perfectly tailored software in half the time.   Also in this episode, Veronica Soto, director of San Antonio's Neighborhood and Housing Services Department describes digitizing an entire rental assistance program in a week, at the outset of the pandemic, in partnership with low-code platform Mendix.  

In this episode, Glenn Pasch and Mark Beal, Professor at Rutgers School of Communication, discuss this influential group. As Mark states, “This generation will truly transform the world.”   They discuss how businesses need to attract and retain this talent; what they are looking for in companies and careers. Also they discuss how companies need to market to them; what they look for and where they consume content.   A fascinating discussion based on Mark's years of study on this issue and working with this generation every day in his classroom.   Not an episode you want to miss if you are expecting to remain in business in the next decade.   Don't forget to subscribe.

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Chris Garaffa, editor of Tech for the People for another edition of our weekly segment “Tech For The People.” They discuss CDC's renewal of its partnership with data analytics behemoth Palantir and how the growing power of the surveillance state made it so easy for the Trump administration to obtain the records of critical journalists and Democrats.

Bad reviews. Well, nobody likes to get bad reviews, but maybe I can reframe your thinking a little. You just might see how they can be used to your advantage. You really can't stop bad reviews. I mean, you can certainly decrease them to almost zero like I have by being fanatical about customer service. In fact, research that's come to light is showing that being pretty much perfect can have negative effects.

The football: We apply the 'Peter Parker Principle' to football statistics, asking if the growing power of data should be wielded in a more responsible way. Can a player's performance be measured by anything other than measurable metrics, and if not, how can there still be room for artistry, and other more intangible, non-data-driven elements of the game? The food: We are asking for your suggestions of local food banks that you'd like us to mention, as while we're unable to eat together, some are finding it hard to eat at all, and we'd like you to use us to promote a local cause that's doing work you admire. Let us know at setpiecemenu@gmail.com And we have another listener soccer story, so send us yours and we could be reading it out on a future show!

What should the future of agriculture look like? What if instead of focusing on growing food to feed our cities, we pivoted to growing food within our cities? This seemingly revolutionary concept is the inspiration behind a growing number of urban farms across the country. To learn more about the power and possibilities presented by growing food in a modern American city, we sat down with Yemi Amu, founder of Oko Farms in Brooklyn. In our thought-provoking conversation we cover: Why aquaponics is such a revolutionary, yet surprisingly ancient, way to grow food. How urban farms like Oko help increase food security, mitigate climate change, increase biodiversity, and even reduce stormwater runoff. Why Yemi uses the term "food swamp" instead of "food desert." What's stopping urban farming from making the jump from a niche concept to a truly viable way of feeding more communities in America. Get ready to dive into the weeds of sustainable farming and urban gardening, quite literally! Episode Show Notes:You can learn more about Yemi's work at the Oko Farm website and Instagram. Some other notable urban farmers that came up in our conversation include Will Allen of Growing Power and Leah Penniman of Soul Fire Farm. Yemi recommends reading "Microbia: A journey into the unseen world around you" by Eugenia Bone. Yemi is an fan of Yute, and underrated vegetable. Yemi's go-to karaoke song is Pretty Young Thing by the one and only Michael Jackson.

Asian Americans are the fastest growing voting bloc in the country according to Pew Research data. A recent Asian American Voter Survey shows they have strong enthusiasm for this year’s election. Yet, outreach to Asian American voters remains low. The same survey reported that 58 percent of Asian Americans say they received no contact from either Democrats or Republicans this election cycle. In addition to low outreach efforts, a lack of bilingual voting information can discourage turnout for Asian American voters who have limited English proficiency -- especially this year with the increase in mail-in voting. We’ll look at efforts to turn out Asian American voters.

President Trump has vowed to remove the United States from the historic Paris climate agreement, which every nation on Earth has now signed onto. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has said one of his first acts as president, should he win, will be to keep America in that accord. In this special episode of Climate 2020, the director of WWF's U.S. climate program and We Are Still In movement co-founder Elan Strait talks about the growing power of the sub-national movement in America - and what it means beyond this election cycle.

K-pop and social justice...two things that, in the past, would have never been associated with each other, but how things have changed. The growing power of K-pop and its global base of young and tech savvy fans is changing the narrative. Loyal fans of popular groups like BTS are moving beyond the stereotype of the obsessed screaming girl to a place where they have real power and influence to incite change. Whether it's the Black Lives Matter movement or throwing off Donald Trump's campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, K-pop fans are making their mark in surprising ways. In this episode, May speaks to Hye Jin Lee, a scholar who studies K-pop and global fandom, about the continuing evolution of K-pop. May also gets perspective from a devoted BTS fan whose activism has been inspired by the mega-group.

Will Allen is an urban farmer who is transforming the cultivation, production, and delivery of healthy foods to underserved, urban populations. After a brief career in professional basketball, and a number of years in corporate marketing at Procter & Gamble, Will returned to his roots as a farmer, using his retirement package to purchase a plot of inner city land with greenhouses where he has built the country's pre-eminent urban farm.  He is now the CEO of Growing Power (www.growingpower.org), an organization that develops community food systems.  In 2008, Will was named a John D. and Katherine T.
