James Altucher interviews Scott Adams
I enjoyed listening to the audiobook of How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, which Amazon appears to be currently selling for just $3.84, HERE.

Scott Adams, creator of the comic strip Dilbert and author of How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big is my guest this week on The James Altucher Show.
Scott’s story is an inspiration for anyone that feels that they are stuck in their job and don’t know the next step to take. Scott worked in a corporate job for over 25 years before he was able to become a cartoonist full time. Flash forward 10 years and Adam’s cartoon, Dilbert, is syndicated in over 2000 newspapers.
Before Scott was able to succeed, he failed at hundreds of different “good” ideas. But those failures are exactly what led him to his major success.
