Jordan Harbinger is one of the most popular podcasters in North America, but it all started by accident. As a young University of Michigan grad, Jordan decided to go to law school because it was something to do after college and eventually ended up at a Wall Street firm. A multi-linguist, Jordan traveled and met new people all over the world. He eventually started teaching networking to other young adults.
The tapes—compact discs, actually—of his presentations became so popular that he decided to upload them to a central server. Thus did he unintentionally become a very early podcaster. Today, "The Jordan Harbinger Show” generates over 10 million downloads per month and features conversations with huge guests like Ray Dalio, Simon Sinek, Mark Cuban, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Tony Hawk, and hundreds more.
In this conversation, Jordan and I discuss:
What job interviewers are really looking for
The thing he asked Kobe Bryant, just months before the basketball star’s death
The difference between NY and London law firms
Why he won’t accept gambling ads on his show
The scandals other prominent podcasters have faced recently and what Jordan believes he owes his audience in terms of the ethics of his own behavior
