    "Lessons from a Master Networker" - with Jordan Harbinger

    Jordan Harbinger is a former lawyer turned master networker and one of the country’s top podcasters, with 5+ million downloads per month. In this interview, we cover: How Jordan reinvented himself to become one of the country’s most successful podcasters. His unique methodology for building his network and what we can learn from it. How he consistently books top guests from the world of business, sports, arts, and politics. What top performers and world-class achievers do differently. How Jordan deals with failure, including being fired from his own show “Art of Charm”. Tips for working with a spouse (Jordan’s wife is his manager!). How he juggles running his own business with being a husband and dad. Some of his favorite guests and anecdotes. What he looks for in new hires and how he builds his teams. And more! About Jordan Harbinger:  For 11 years, Jordan hosted The Art of Charm Podcast — regularly in the iTunes top 50 and downloaded over four million times a month. Now, through the Jordan Harbinger Show, Jordan interviews the world’s top performers — from legendary musicians to intelligence operatives, iconoclastic writers to visionary change-makers. A former Wall Street attorney, Jordan speaks five languages and spent several years abroad in Europe and the developing world, including South America, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. He has also worked for various governments and NGOs overseas, traveled through war zones, and been kidnapped — twice. He’ll tell you the only reason he’s still alive and kicking is because of his ability to talk his way into (and out of) just about any type of situation.
