“True professionals rehearse so much that it looks like they didn’t rehearse at all.” - Jordan Harbinger (click to tweet)
Starting over requires channeling frustration into focus.
Instead of thinking of “the past” as a object to cast aside, remembering the struggle can enhance performance—to create something bigger and better.

On today’s episode of Steal the Show, we are joined by Jordan Harbinger to discuss how he recently started over. In 2006, Jordan was one of the first to podcasting, co-founding the very popular show, The Art of Charm. Just last year, Jordan parted ways from that team to start his own venture, The Jordan Harbinger Show. In the 11 weeks it’s been on air, his new podcast has received over 3 million downloads.
In this conversation, we unpack everything from what makes a great public speaker to how working is the best form of recovery during times of crisis. Whether or not you’re starting over, tune in to learn these lessons so you know what to do in case that situation presents itself.

“You will drive yourself to the brink of exhaustion, burnout, and craziness if you try to do everything yourself.” - Jordan Harbinger (click to tweet)
Steal the Points Emotionally positive people should be key supporters in times of crisis. Simultaneously build technical and interpersonal skills; focusing on one will give competition the advantage. Ignore the temptation to do everything yourself; instead, outsource tasks to save time. Resist the temptation to seek out shortcuts that negatively affect quality. Work ethic supersedes talent. The best performers are the ones who rehearse the most. Be skeptical of the public speaking classes that don’t deliver results. Craft is a mastery of skills, not a formula. Transformation is normal when working with a master coach or director.
