Summary
This week we talk to Jordan Harbinger about the power of awareness and intention
Jordan Harbinger is the founder of The Art of Charm. The Art of Charm helps men to improve their social skills so that they can succeed in business and life. The truth is that I originally turned Jordan down twice to be on the show because I thought he was a "pick-up" artist. I clearly didn't think that was a good fit for our show. But as I learned more about him and what he does I realized that his focus is to help men become better people. The success follows from that. One of his core principles that he teaches is to leave everything and everyone better than before he was there. That's a pretty good way to feed the good wolf.
In addition his podcast has really excellent guests and he is a great interviewer.
I'm glad we had him on because it was a really good conversation.
In This Interview Jordan and I Discuss...
The One You Feed parable.
Being intentional in all aspects of life.
How if your not feeding the good wolf you might be feeding the bad wolf.
Not making a decision is a decision in itself.
How good our brains are at rationalizing things.
How systems can help in all aspects of our lives.
Being excellent is a matter of habit.
Being more aware of our choices.
How being too busy is the best excuse we have.
Try replacing "I don't have time" with "I'm not prioritizing that right now"
Feeding the good wolf is about being intentional.
How feeding the good wolf takes time and consistency.
Discipline is doing the right thing when it is hard.
Changing perspective.
How bad our mood is as a decision tool.
Doing what we planned, not what we feel like.
The pitfalls of comparing ourselves to others.
Comparing our insides to other peoples outsides.

| 0:00.0 | That's discipline. It doesn't count when you feel like doing it. It only counts when you don't. |
| 0:13.5 | Welcome to the One You Feed. Through our time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of |
| 0:18.6 | the thoughts we have, quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think, ring true, |
| 0:25.6 | and yet for many of us our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend toward negativity, |
| 0:31.7 | self-pity, jealousy, or fear. We see what we don't have instead of what we do. We think things that |
| 0:38.4 | hold us back and dampen our spirit. But it's not just about thinking. Our actions matter. It takes |
| 0:44.9 | conscious, consistent, and creative effort to make a life worth living. This podcast is about how |
| 0:50.7 | other people keep themselves moving in the right direction. How they feed their good wolf. |
| 1:10.5 | Hi, it's Elvis Jaran on my new podcast, Thinking Out Loud with Elvis Jaran. I'll be bringing you |
| 1:16.1 | candid and maybe sometimes a little crazy interviews with people from all walks of life. We'll touch |
| 1:20.8 | on subjects that you just can't talk about on the radio, like life, love, success, failure, whatever |
| 1:25.6 | else comes to mind, but all jacked up because after being in this business for as long as I have, |
| 1:30.4 | I want to get to the bottom of what makes people tick. And listen to my new podcast, Thinking Out Loud |
| 1:36.0 | on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 1:40.8 | Thanks for joining us. Our guest today is Jordan Harbinger, creator of The Art of Charm. |
| 1:49.4 | Through Jordan's book, website, and podcast, he teaches men to harness the power of social dynamics |
| 1:55.6 | to win friends, earn the respect of their peers, and get the girl of their dreams. |
| 2:00.2 | And it all comes down to one simple plan, becoming a better man. Here's the interview. |
| 2:06.8 | Let's start the way we always do with the parable. So our podcast is called The One You Feed, |
| 2:13.3 | and it's based on the parable of two wolves, where there's a grandfather who's talking with his |
| 2:17.7 | grandson, and he says in life, there are two wolves inside of us. One is a good wolf, which represents |
| 2:23.6 | things like kindness and bravery and love, and the other is a bad wolf, which represents things |
