Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories,

secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical

advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. Our mission is to help you

become a better informed, more critical thinker through long-form conversations with a variety

of amazing folks, from spies to CEOs, athletes, authors, thinkers, performers, even the occasional

Russian chess grandmaster, Hollywood filmmaker, cold case homicide investigator, or money-laundering

experts.

And if you're new to the show or you're looking for a handy way to tell your friends about
