| 0:00.0 | When we can experience a source of potential pain before it even happens, |
| 0:05.2 | then what ends up happening is we suffer in advance. And we set ourselves up to suffer again |
| 0:11.5 | when that source of pain actually shows up in our lives. And for many of us that like anticipated |
| 0:16.8 | suffering is even worse. All right, welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. As always, |
| 0:23.8 | I'm here with my producer Jason DeFilippo. On this episode, we're talking with my friend Gabriel |
| 0:28.8 | Mizrahi. We're doing a deep dive on the secrets to avoiding suffering. And it's not really a secret |
| 0:34.2 | and it's not really avoiding suffering, but that's the title of the article. It's on JordanHarbinger.com. |
| 0:38.6 | If you'd rather read it, although you're listening to a podcast, so you obviously like listening. |
| 0:43.0 | This is a really interesting article for me because it's about suffering. It's about |
| 0:47.6 | key takeaways and how to avoid slash suffer at the right time. And of course, why action is always |
| 0:54.4 | better than victimhood, I would say. And we're going to focus on sources over symptoms and give you |
| 1:00.5 | some takeaways on how to deal with this. Now, a quick caveat. We do talk about the breakup of the show, |
| 1:05.5 | which everyone is so sick of hearing about, but the way that we do this, I hope comes across as |
| 1:10.5 | relatable because it's less about, oh my gosh, this thing happened and we feel so bad about it, |
| 1:14.5 | and more along lines of the takeaways that we've gotten from this situation so that other people |
| 1:19.6 | who are going through some ish can apply this stuff for themselves. So it's supposed to be a |
| 1:23.6 | learning thing. And if you're sick and tired of hearing about the whole corporate trauma, |
| 1:28.8 | then you're in for a treat because it's not going to be something that we do all that we sit in |
| 1:32.8 | and roll around in. It's going to be something that we extract goodness from in my opinion. What do |
| 1:37.6 | you think, Jason? I think so. I don't think anybody who's tired of hearing about this wine about |
| 1:42.5 | the breakup will be disappointed by this episode because this is all about practical advice on how |
| 1:47.7 | to get past suffering. Yes. And trust me, nobody's more sick of hearing about it than me and Jason. |
