0:00.0	I can't tell you how much fun it is to interview someone who's been an inspiration to me such as Jordan Harbinger
0:07.1	He's been podcasting for over a decade. It's hard to believe when you look at him. He's got such a baby face
0:12.2	But the things you're going to learn today really set you off on a path to either succeed as a podcaster, do so with authenticity, or perhaps seek out new paths in your career,
0:23.5	in your relationships, and in any other endeavor
0:26.3	which requires some amount of creativity,
0:28.4	some amount of introspection,
0:30.0	some amount of reflection on what it really means
0:33.3	to be a completely fully rounded individual.
0:36.0	And Jordan is one of the best I know.
0:37.8	He does such deep research from all of his guests.

0:52.5	He's really a rising star, pun intended.
0:56.2	But the fact that he's been rising for well over a decade
0:58.9	tells you that he's on a path to go summer extremely special.
1:02.2	So I hope you'll enjoy this episode recorded over the
1:04.8	summer 2020 and making use of probably more time than he intended to give to me but he's such a
1:10.2	generous person such an influence and I want to thank Jordan for all he's done for me personally and all he does for the planet.
1:17.0	How many people can you say that about?
1:19.0	Enjoy this interview with none other than the eponymous Jordan Harbinger. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
1:39.8	From Magic.
