The Jordan Harbinger Show

Gretchen Rubin (@gretchenrubin) is a former lawyer turned podcaster and best-selling author. Her latest book is The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People's Lives Better, Too). What We Discuss with Gretchen Rubin: We tend toward one of four archetypes based on how we respond to expectations: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Understanding these tendencies improves the ways we motivate and influence ourselves and others. We explore each tendency and how we can optimize our mental models and self-talk to get ourselves on the right track. We learn how to spot these tendencies in others and ensure we're using the right types of incentives and communication to get the best from those around us. Take the quiz 600,000 others have taken to better understand how these frameworks can galvanize significant and lasting change. And much more...

Tali Sharot (@affectivebrain) is an associate professor of cognitive neuroscience, the founder and director of the Affective Brain Lab at University College London, and author of The Influential Mind: What the Brain Reveals About Our Power to Change Others. What We Discuss with Tali Sharot: When hope is a better motivator than fear -- and vice versa. Facts and figures don't tend to change minds already aligned to a certain opinion -- in fact, they can have a backfire effect that further entrenches people in their beliefs. The four factors that determine whether or not we're likely to change our beliefs. What happens when new evidence doesn't fit our beliefs, but it fits what we want to believe. When trying to persuade, it's better to seed a new belief than to contradict the old one. And much more...

"We're not paying attention to maintaining the relationships that we claim are important to us." -Joey Coleman What We Discussed with Joey Coleman: Why everyone has customers -- even if we don't own a business. Why the first hundred days of a customer life cycle are the most important -- and if you can get the experience right within this time frame, you've got a customer for life. The eight phases of a customer journey and how they apply to business and personal relationships. The experience mindset -- why it's important and how we can develop it. Why Joey's only gotten three tickets in spite of being pulled over by the police 81 times. And much more...

Dan Heath is a Senior Fellow at Duke University's CASE center and co-author of Decisive, Switch, Made to Stick, and most recently The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact. What We Discuss with Dan Heath: Why we remember certain defining moments over others across the countless experiences of a lifetime. How we can use the defining moment formula to create such moments for ourselves and others. The opportunity most companies miss when hiring a new employee and how one organization goes over the top to get it right. Action leads to insight more often than insight leads to action. Why time seems to go faster as we age. And much more... Sign up for Six-Minute Networking -- our free networking and relationship development mini course -- at jordanharbinger.com/course!

How do you add value for people in your network when you don't feel like you're bringing anything to the table? What's the way forward when a juvenile criminal record and a dysfunctional family keep you from achieving your dreams now that you've worked so hard to better yourself?

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into three surprising ways to cope with suffering that we've learned during our recent period of massive change, stress, and uncertainty. "All experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." -The Declaration of Independence What We Discuss in This Deep Dive: The difference between suffering and pain. The three thoughts that make up the architecture of suffering. The phenomenon of meta-suffering. How much of the suffering we endure is actually under our control? The beliefs and mindsets we can adopt to manage suffering more effectively. And much more...

Ed Latimore (@EdLatimore) is a heavyweight boxer, physics major, chess nerd, survivor of Pittsburgh's public housing projects, and author of Not Caring What Other People Think Is A Superpower. "I'm so happy that I learned to like books instead of social approval." -Ed Latimore What We Discuss with Ed Latimore: What Ed Latimore learned from growing up in one of the worst environments in America. Why it's never too late to make big changes in your life -- and how to kick off the process if you're feeling resistant to making those changes. How Ed rebuilt his life from the ground up after one of his biggest defeats. Fear is a more powerful motivator than the desire to change. Why would someone who pulled Cs and Ds in high school math choose to double major in math and physics on a second try at college? And much more...

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Having multiple dreams to pursue can feel like a Choose Your Own Adventure book. Do you have to settle on one page's outcome, or can you cut and paste your way to happiness? Do you really want to travel for a month with a spiteful, knife-wielding grump who begrudges the good fortune of his peers and is loath to follow the sacred A-Team pledge to "never leave a man behind" when hiking in the wilderness? How does Jordan read so much in order to prep for podcast guests? How does an immigrant struggling to understand American culture make meaningful connections in a small town? Would living in a bigger city make things easier? Can you accurately gauge whether or not someone's romantically interested in you purely by text messaging? What's the next level for a relationship between two people whose core values don't even come close to aligning? Why should the most ambitious person in a relationship be expected to make all the sacrifices? Recommendation of the Week: Voyeur Quick shoutouts to Isabelle Yong and Max Rooke!

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: New beginnings! New excitement! New puppies! New levels of sleep deprivation! Here's a trick to convey contemplation rather than grumpitude if you've got one of those resting faces. How do you turn from a Fibbing Freddy into a Trustworthy Terry? How do we prepare for a show? (If you're interested in the longer story, tell us!) Do you like this show? Please tell your friends about it -- we're starting from scratch and need your help! Why should a woman who has more in common with her boyfriend and his friends be forced to hang out with the girlfriend group at social occasions? Sometimes people who are stuck in a rut don't even realize it. Is there a delicate way to tell them? There's something to be said for having the confidence to make mistakes (or dress like a kangaroo at the bar) without being embarrassed.

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) takes a deep dive with us into one of life's scariest constants: instability. We'll discuss why it's crucial for personal growth and how to embrace what it has to offer rather than trying to outrun its transient discomforts. "Instability isn't just a thing we need to deal with in life -- it is life." -Gabriel Mizrahi What We Discuss in This Deep Dive: No matter how stable life might seem at any given moment, we should always count on one constant: instability. Change -- whether big or small -- is inevitable. Rather than trying to avoid or expel the uncertainty we experience in moments of instability, we should be taking notes and learning from it. At its core, uncertainty is really a function of how much information we have versus how much information we want. Uncertainty makes unpleasant events more unpleasant, but it also makes pleasant events more pleasant. Why you should trust that uncertainty exists to serve you. And much more...

He is the author of Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice. "I made a vow on that morning to Sergei Magnitsky's memory, to his family, and to myself, that I was going to go after the people who killed him and make sure that they face justice." -Bill Browder What We Discuss with Bill Browder: How someone who grew up in a family of communist academics became one of today's most successful capitalists. How Bill Browder saw and continues to see and profit from opportunities that others discount as foolish. How Russian oligarchs rip off and defraud minority and foreign shareholders. How an Interpol Red Notice could mean arrest and extradition to Russia to face torture. Who was Sergei Magnitsky, and how is Bill seeking justice for his murder by the Russian state? And much more...

What We Discuss with Frank Abagnale: How the constant rush to get untested new technology on the market for the appeasement of investors makes us all vulnerable to security breaches. Why Frank believes it's much easier to pull off scams these days than it was 50 years ago in his fraudulent heyday. Why, according to Frank, there is no technology that can defeat social engineering, and there never will be -- not even AI. Why Frank says that passwords are for treehouses, and what he envisions as a more foolproof way to protect our data from would-be scammers.
