Summary

Jordan Harbinger, hugely successful podcaster and fascinating character in his own right, talks to Matt and Niki about his journey through involuntary hardship that he underwent a few years ago. 

A few years ago, Jordan was on a different large podcast that was not his own. During his time on the podcast, he matured and over time felt he needed a way to exit from this podcast. He had negotiated an amicable exit, but ultimately booted unceremoniously and had to deal with losing his podcast and--ultimately--his identity, as he had built up an identity as part of the old venture. 

Matt and Jordan linked up soon after this, as Brett McKay connected them, knowing that Matt had undergone a similar struggle being kicked out of an organization that he had identified with. 

Before this, he had felt like he couldn't leave. As he worked through the process, he found that getting booted was a gift. He had both the freedom and responsibility of his own brand and his own podcast. He found that those around him believed in him more than he did--a weird experience, as entrepreneurs often believe in their ventures more than anyone else. 

He had to both mourn the loss of his old project and identity while pushing forward, even when he didn't necessarily believe in his new project. 

He decided to focus on his own podcast as opposed to spending money, time, and emotionality of fighting through lawfare. He had to consider what is good for him, his new venture, and those he cared about, and that was NOT with lawsuits and bitterness.

Ultimately, he summed up the whole episode with a pithy expression many of us can relate to: "wading through the crap to get to where we are now."

Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about holiday sale or how

0:07.4

now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money

0:10.4

you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to

0:14.8

discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes

0:19.3

for people who want to work with a coach. And that called to mind how many of

0:23.1

our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real

0:27.8

life transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal

0:31.9

barbell logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals,

0:35.9

they are driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because

0:40.6

they care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that

0:45.6

price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for

0:48.9

something. But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully

0:53.0

deciding where to invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they

0:57.3

invest their time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that

1:01.8

you could waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this

1:05.6

sounds like you, I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months of two to

1:10.6

four workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we

1:14.8

will give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case

1:19.3

scenario is it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest

1:24.1

in yourself and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only

1:28.0

risk is about on yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where

your goals are. Get matched with your coach now at www.barbelllogic.com slash
