He is the founder of Moon Express, Viome, Bluedot, TalentWise, Intelius, and InfoSpace, and the co-author of Moonshots: Creating a World of Abundance. What We Discuss with Naveen Jain: How Naveen and his siblings all became wildly successful professionals in spite of growing up financially and educationally underprivileged. How to know when a billionaire really becomes successful. Why it's the thought processes -- not the habits -- of highly successful people you should be emulating if you want to succeed. Why Naveen believes sustainability is not sustainable, and why we have to create more of what we need rather than consume less of what we have. What moonshots are, and how they make seemingly impossible goals achievable. And much more...

182: How to Overcome Your Fear of Driving | Feedback Friday

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Is your significant other right to be upset that you want to spend some of your social time separately? Is spending eight years to switch careers from barber to therapist worthwhile in your mid-forties? Is there anything wrong with hiding the fact that you're in a relationship when you meet new people? You're still young, but your mindless six-figure job is wearing on you. Would it be irresponsible to drop everything and do something else? How can you overcome your intense fear and anxiety around driving? More important: should you? Our listener whose dog was attacked in episode 161 tracked down the human responsible. What's the best next step? Extensive (and very appreciated!) listener advice for helping the hoarders from last Feedback Friday. Do we ever worry that recommending podcasts we enjoy will result in fewer listeners? Life Pro Tip: When your ISP raises your bill, call in and say “cancel service” to the automated operator. You’ll be sent to their retention team. They will usually take $10-20 off your monthly bill for a year. I do this once a year with Comcast. Recommendation of the Week: Why Not Home?

181: How to Stop Blaming Other People | Deep Dive

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into why the impulse for blaming other people is a phenomenon familiar to most of us, and how we can curb it in ourselves without defaulting to always taking the fall when it’s undeserved. What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: Why the externalization of blaming other people when you're at fault robs you of being truly in control of your own life. Why the internalization of blaming yourself when you're not at fault is just as toxic as externalization. How you can use the Accountability Spectrum to find an appropriate balance between externalization and internalization. What true accountability requires of you and what it gives you in return. The best antidote to blaming. And much more... Sign up for Six-Minute Networking — our free networking and relationship development mini course — at jordanharbinger.com/course!

180: Zvi Band | Success Is in Your Sphere

Zvi Band (@skeevis) is the founder and CEO of Contactually, and author of the upcoming Success Is in Your Sphere: Leverage the Power of Relationships to Achieve Your Business Goals. What We Discuss with Zvi Band: Why your network isn't just some intangible asset you tend at your convenience -- it's a crucial resource you neglect at your peril. Why a network is the best way to increase your luck surface area -- the number of chances you have to get lucky when things aren't going your way. How and why relationships decay -- especially in this day and age when we're ostensibly connected to everyone we know on social media. How to prioritize your relationships -- not merely organize them. How you can easily add value to your network and relationships -- even if you've convinced yourself you've got nothing to offer.

179: How to Really Help a Hoarder | Feedback Friday

Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason DeFillippo (@jpdef) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: What can you do when your parents are hoarders with health issues who get enraged when you try to help them? Your calmness under stress seems like a positive trait in a medical professional. But are your peers right to call you disinterested? When you dislike idle chit chat, how do you respond to the small talk question "How's business?" without being uncivil? Is becoming a police officer because you want to help people a good idea for someone who's never really dealt with trauma, or could you be throwing yourself in the deep end? How might an over-55 sales professional re-entering the job market go about starting a consulting career? Jake from Intuit stops by to help us cope with financial crises around tax time. How do you beat feeling envious of others who maintain the discipline to see their self-improvements through? When you're serious about networking, should you regularly cull connections on LinkedIn with people you don't really know? Life Pro Tip (via Mark Frauenfelder's Recomendo Newsletter): For Starbucks people traveling. When you're leaving a foreign country and still have some of the local currency, take it to a Starbucks and load it onto a gift card. You can use the card later in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Mexico, and the Republic of Ireland. Recommendations of the Week: The Dropout Podcast, The Dropout on 20/20, and The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley Quick shoutouts to Benjamin Torrero in Mexico City, Ankie Hille Hagen in Norway, and Officer Tim De La Pena!

177: Beau Lotto | Why You See Differently When You Deviate

Beau Lotto (@beaulotto) is a world-renowned neuroscientist who specializes in the biology and psychology of perception. He is the author of Deviate: The Science of Seeing Differently. What We Discuss with Beau Lotto: Why our brains evolved to experience the world differently from reality.

Why the more complex your environment is, the more complex your brain will be. How our assumptions control our perceptions and what we can do to break free from assumptions that don't serve us.

176: How to Cope with the Burden of Being the Ugly Friend | Feedback Friday

Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason DeFillippo (@jpdef) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Is it wrong to be mad at your recently widowed parent for proposing to a rebound fling just six months after the funeral? You're sick of picking up the slack for your 70-year-old coworker who chooses not to retire. What should you do? How do you rebuild your business when your last 10 years has suddenly pulled out from under you? We might have some advice. As a job seeker, when is the right time to disclose that you have regular medical needs that require creative scheduling? We've talked about the wrong reasons to move, but what are some of the right reasons? When do the pros outweigh the cons? How do you shake the feeling of playing second fiddle when you're pretty sure you're the ugly friend in a two-person dynamic? You seem to be the only one in your neighborhood concerned about environmental apocalypse. How do you lead by example without blowing a gasket? What meaningful gifts can you get for mentors -- or anyone else for that matter -- who already seem to have everything they need? Life Pro Tip: When responding to advice, say "You're right" instead of "I know." It shows that you're actually listening to someone, that you care about what they say, and give them credit for trying to help. Recommendation of the Week: Leaving Neverland Quick shoutouts to people Jordan met at Podfest and SXSW! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

175: Brian Scudamore | How Failure Can Be Your Key to Success

Brian Scudamore (@BrianScudamore) pioneered the industry of professional junk removal with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? at age 18, scaled that success into three more home-service brands, and is the author of WTF?! (Willing to Fail): How Failure Can Be Your Key to Success. What We Discuss with Brian Scudamore: How Brian turned a trash removal business that began with a $700 investment into an international, multimillion dollar service franchise. The $29 gimmick Brian used to prove to his franchise partners they didn't need to spend big bucks on traditional marketing tactics to get their small business known. Why high school dropout Brian didn't sell his business and retire in his 20s -- even when competitors offered him millions of dollars. Brian's WTF (willing to fail) philosophy that has allowed him to harness the smaller failures along the way to avoid ultimate catastrophe in the long run (with examples). Practical exercises you can use -- for entrepreneurship as well as personal enrichment -- to similarly WTF your way forward. And much more...
