More About This Show
Gabriel Mizrahi and Jordan Harbinger have years of experience interviewing people with backgrounds ranging from entertainment industry stalwarts to national security honchos to secular philosophers to productivity gurus to spacewalking astronauts. And while Gabriel and Jordan have each been interviewed on other programs, this might be the first time in nearly a decade that Jordan has been interviewed on his own show.
But 2016 is a strange year, and it ain’t over yet.
This episode came about largely in part because The Art of Charm gets a lot of email from listeners who are looking for ways to improve their lives — and a change in career or striking out as an entrepreneur is often the first thing they’ll try. But what happens when someone pursues something they really care about and, a year into it, they just can’t get the traction to succeed? How long does anyone need to struggle before giving up on a dream?
Gabriel and Jordan have each taken this journey and seem to be doing all right for themselves (knock on wood!), so they share the ensuing conversation with the rest of us in this extended episode of The Art of Charm. It doesn’t matter if you’re not interested in a career change or becoming an entrepreneur, because the conversation covers plenty of other territory too.
Listen to it in its entirety if you want to learn more about the origins of The Art of Charm, what led to Jordan’s choice to go to law school, the dangers of default thinking, how to tell when someone’s peddling legitimate life advice or a self-help pyramid scheme, Jordan’s experiences with imposter syndrome, the best way Jordan was ever fired, why the most memorable success stories are rarely the whole stories, the risks of turning your hobby into a job, where startups and marketers go wrong, why it can be tempting to go down the wrong path for the sake of ego, how to stay curious as you get older and more mature, and lots more.
