The James Altucher Show

Description

James talks with former Kellogg CEO and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez about his new memoir, Sheer Will: Learning to Lead When There Is No Path. Carlos reflects on being diagnosed with ADHD at 65, rising from selling cereal in Mexico City to running Kellogg, learning to make decisions that disappoint people, negotiating with China, his opposition to broad tariffs, what business taught him that government couldn’t, and why his advice to ambitious 25-year-olds is surprisingly simple: find a great company and stay.
