Then the stories behind some of our most loved and cherished Christmas traditions and Christmas songs.

For example, did you know Jingle Bells was actually written as a Thanksgiving song?

The man was instructed to create a song for a children's choir that Thanksgiving service and couldn't come up with anything and went outside and watched a bunch of teenage boys attempting to impress girls by drag racing slaves. And he went in and immediately wrote Jingle Bells.

Then some excellent motivation to help you get to those household chores that need doing. And how to acquire the it factor that makes you so memorable to the people you meet.

So few times do we meet someone who is instantly memorable? That's what the it factor is all about.

Being able to meet someone quickly and get them to say, you know what? This person is someone I need to know more about.

All this today on something you should know.

The next time you're in the mood to explore new podcasts, I recommend you try the Jordan Harbinger show. And I say that.

Because I know a lot of people who listen to something you should know listen to the Jordan Harbinger show.

Jordan also interviews really interesting people. And yeah, we've had a few of the same people on, but mostly it's a very different podcast yet incredibly interesting.

Recently, Jordan had on Maria Konakova. She's the author of the Confidence Game talking about scam artists who they are, where they come from, and more importantly, how not to get taken by scam artists.

And Scott Galway was on. He's the host of the Professor G podcast talking about America. In fact, one of the things he explains is how in America, it's never been easier to become a billionaire, but it's never been harder to become a millionaire.

I think you'd like that. I know you're going to enjoy the Jordan Harbinger show. He is a very smart, funny, insightful guy.

In fact, I spent some time with him a few months ago. There's a lot of fun. And so is his podcast. I know how hard it is to find new podcasts that really resonate.

So instead of blindly searching for a new podcast, try my recommendation, the Jordan Harbinger show. I don't think there's a better podcast to listen to to expand your world view.

You got to hear it. Check out the Jordan Harbinger show on Apple Podcasts Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.
