When you think of someone in the inner circle of billionaires and political giants, you don't usually imagine them whistling Duke Ellington tunes in corporate meeting rooms. Chris Ullman defies that stereotype; a virtuoso whistler, he has performed in venues as diverse as the Oval Office and the top of the Washington Monument. Join James Altucher in part one of this extraordinary interview as they delve into Chris's passion for whistling, which he explored in his book "Find Your Whistle."From a young age of 13, Chris committed himself to whistling. He credits his father for the initial inspiration, but becoming a champion took hard work and unique sacrifices-like abstaining from kissing 24 hours before a performance. Chris and James discuss the perception of whistling as a "novelty," contrasting it with other forms of art and sports. Yet, Chris believes that whistling is the great equalizer; it's a universal joy that resonates with everyone from grandparents to billionaire bosses. In fact, this underestimated art has brought Chris "more joy than he could have ever imagined."This conversation sets the stage for part two, where James and Chris will discuss Chris's latest book, "Four Billionaires and a Parking Attendant." But for now, enjoy this deep dive into an art form that's both ancient and modern, simple and intricate, and understand how Chris Ullman has built a life around spreading joy and inspiring others to find their own "whistle."-----------What do YOU think of the show?
