The Jordan Harbinger Show

Annie Duke (@AnnieDuke) is a World Series poker champion, Ante Up for Africa co-founder, public speaker, and author of Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts. What We Discuss with Annie Duke: Thinking in Bets isn't really about poker -- and neither is this episode. Two things that determine the quality of our lives: the quality of our decisions and luck; we'll learn to understand the difference between the two. Common mistakes we make when evaluating decisions, namely something called resulting -- which all of us do -- which leads to worse decision quality over time. How we can become better belief calibrators, and why this helps us mitigate bias in our thinking and in our decision-making process. How Annie and other world champion poker players have formed decision-making pods with one another to help them get better at decision quality and strategy, and how you can do the same.

Ryan Michler (@orderofman) is a husband, father, Iraq combat veteran, founder of Order of Man, and author of Sovereignty: The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men. What We Discuss with Ryan Michler: How the dismissal of masculinity as a positive force in popular society has led to an alarming shortage of strong, ambitious, and self-sufficient men. The 13 virtues crucial for men to reclaim their own sovereignty -- and what this means. How men can create a battle plan to level up skill sets within these virtues. Why acknowledging the enemy inside as the source of all troubles rather than blaming external enemies is ultimately empowering. How to formulate an after action review to analyze the effectiveness of every encounter, project, or conversation and grow from the experience. And much more...

Duana Welch (@duanawelch) is known for applying social science to people’s real-life relationship issues at her Love Science blog and in her book Love Factually: 10 Proven Steps from I Wish to I Do. What We Discuss with Duana Welch: How jealousy differs from envy. The evolutionary purpose of jealousy and why it affects even the typically cooler-headed among us. How we can leverage jealousy like a human smoke detector. What makes both men and women jealous, and how we can use that jealousy to move relationships forward rather than tearing them apart. Jealousy red flags and warning signs -- and rational strategies to employ when we encounter them. And much more...

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) rejoins us to deep dive into why the fresh eyes of an amateur often spot what the professionals miss, and how we can get some of that so-called beginner's luck to rub off on us no matter how experienced we happen to be. What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: The experience paradox: while experience helps us solve problems with precision and focus, it also blinds us to alternative -- sometimes better -- solutions. Experts rely on technique and convention; amateurs are guided by insight and intuition. What Einstein understood about the importance of maintaining an amateur's mindset when tackling problems no expert had yet solved. Why making it through the amateur stage is crucial for growth -- or even beginning -- any endeavor. (If you knew then what you know now, you might not have even gone through the trouble of starting!) How we can take advantage of our expertise without losing the beginner's amateur insight. And much more...

Join award-winning journalist Will Storr as he explores our collective self-obsession in the age of social media. He dives into the roots of the neoliberal self and questions whether we’re inherently self-obsessed or if it's a learned behavior. Storr discusses the clash between our idealized identities and reality, highlighting the dangers of perfectionism and how social media fuels unhealthy comparisons. He also examines cultural differences in self-perception, urging us to embrace our strengths within realistic limits for genuine fulfillment.
