I’m James Altucher, And This Is How I Work
James Altucher is all over the place, and I mean that in the best way. He’s not only an investor, hedge fund manager and entrepreneur several times over (to the tune of founding 20 companies), but his writing on business, family, health and creativity shows up everywhere from the Financial Times to Thought Catalog.
I’m Dominique Leca, Co-Founder Of Sparrow, And This Is How I Work
It’s no secret that we’ve loved Mac email client Sparrow since the beginning. Its minimalist design and ability to play so well with Gmail immediately won us over. Google acquired Sparrow last year, taking co-founder Dominique Leca with it.

When (And If) You Should Ever Work For Free
I lose count of my “jobs” these days: my literary writing (that theoretically pays, or had better one day or else), a nonprofit board on which I serve as president, and the magazine I started last year.

I’m Nolan Bushnell, And This Is How I Work
You can’t talk about tech legends without including Nolan Bushnell. Best known for founding Atari, Nolan has several other companies in his decades-strong portfolio.

Nolan’s current focus is Brainrush, an online education platform that uses fast-paced games to teach subjects such as vocabulary, maths and science. We caught up with the pioneer to talk about workspaces, audiobooks, sleep routines and more.
I’m Brian Lam, And This Is How I Work
“I recommend everyone either fix your job or quit it.” No one is better suited to dish out this wisdom than Brian Lam. In 2011, after running the show at our sister site Gizmodo for five years, Brian started The Wirecutter. It’s not a blog, and it’s not a news site — it’s simply a guide to the world’s best gadgets.
