Si vous pensiez, ne serait-ce qu'une seule seconde, passer cet épisode, vous feriez une ÉNORME erreur. Vraiment. Cet épisode, c'est un vol en rafale. Une plongée dans l'armée de l'air avec tout ce que cela peut nous apporter à nous, en tant qu'humain, que salarié ou que dirigeant d'entreprise. Donc ne passez pas votre chemin, vous passeriez à côté d'une trop belle expérience et de beaucoup trop d'apprentissages de qualité. C'est une immense claque que Virginie nous offre. De ses débuts à sa retraite et sa reconversion, de ses moments de gloire à ses moments de doute, la pilote nous raconte tout, nous immerge dans l'armée de l'air et nous fait une petite place dans son rafale. Elle nous explique comment la pré-ado de 12 ans est tombée amoureuse de l'aéronautique. Comment à partir de ce moment là elle a mit toutes les chances de son côté, quittant sa famille pour intégrer un collège puis un lycée militaire. Comment elle a monté les échelons petit à petit, à force de volonté. Enchaîné les rendez-vous médicaux, les épreuves, les débriefs et les vols. “J'ai passé des soirées dans ma chambre avec un manche à balais à répéter ce que j'allais devoir faire le lendemain.”De l'importance de la tradition militaire à celle, sacro-sainte du débriefing que nous devrions tous mettre en place dans nos entreprises, du syndrome de stress post-traumatique à la gestion du stress tout court. Elle nous partage tout et nous livre tous ses conseils et bonnes pratiques. . “J'ai toujours peur de ne pas être à la hauteur.”Parmi les choses qu'elle nous partage, Virginie revient sur ses moments de doute et c'est peut-être ça aussi la force de son parcours et de cet épisode. Loin d'avoir peur d'en parler, elle nous apprend comment passer outre, comment cesser de s'autocensurer et nous donne envie de poursuivre nos rêves à notre tour. “Il y a suffisamment de freins qui nous tombent dessus sans avoir besoin de s'en mettre soi-même.”TIMELINE : 00:00:00 : Quitter le nid familial à 12 ans pour se donner les moyens de ses ambitions00:22:00 : Réussir seule et en équipe00:40:00 : Comment se dépasser sur la durée ?00:47:00 : La culture du débriefing01:20:00 : Rester lucide et agile dans les situations les plus intenses01:34:00 : Former de bons leaders01:38:00 : La nécessité de communiquer (tout le temps)01:57:00 : Viser la perfection pour atteindre l'excellence02:26:00 : La capacité d'adaptation.

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:

A Note from James:So I gave a little talk at the Full Stack Business Builder Conference. Basically, a conference for entrepreneurs, VCs, technologists, aspiring entrepreneurs. It was more of a Q&A, where the moderator, Peter Satton, asked me questions, but also took questions from the audience.A big concern for many people was, what if I have no qualifications at what I'm interested in doing? And I have to admit, I've probably never been qualified for anything I've ever done. I described how that's actually helped me achieve certain goals and ambitions of mine, even though I had no qualifications.I also talk about the importance of obsession—let's call it rational obsession—and how to find those things you're passionate about. Among other things, I shared a quasi-religious belief I hold dear and attribute much of my success to.I hope you have as much fun listening to this as I did talking about it. Definitely, there are some new and interesting stories, as well as experiences I wanted to share. Here it is.Episode Description:In this fireside chat recorded at the Full Stack Business Builder Conference, James Altucher addresses a fundamental concern for entrepreneurs: succeeding without traditional qualifications.

The stock market just had its worst day since 2020, and Trump's proposed “Liberation Day” tariffs are at the center of the storm. The administration is arguing that these sweeping international tariffs will be a win for American workers—promising to bring manufacturing back home, reduce the trade deficit, and generate revenue. But history—and economics—tell a more complicated story. Today, Nicole is joined by investor, author and podcaster James Altucher to break down what these tariffs will mean for the U.S. economy. Together, they dig into the real-world impact on inflation, jobs, trade relationships, and the markets. Is this the beginning of a new era of economic strength, or a fast track to recession?
