Jordan Harbinger is an American podcaster[1][2], radio personality and former pickup artist.

Education and early career

Harbinger studied law at the University of Michigan[2] and subsequently practiced as a lawyer. In 2007, he was employed by a Wall Street firm to work on mortgage-backed securities and was later made redundant during the 2008 financial crisis.[3]

Harbinger later promoted himself as an "adventure traveller" who travelled to unsafe locations and was subsequently kidnapped on two separate occasions, once in Mexico and again in Serbia.[4] He was later hired as a tour guide for "Rebel Tours" (circa 2013–2016) facilitating travel for Westerners into North Korea via China.[5][6]

Media career

While in law school, Harbinger experimented with date coaching and networking and later created The PickUp Podcast.[2][7] After graduating, Harbinger moved to New York[7] and formed a company called The Art of Charm.[7][8][3][7]

In 2010 he launched an app, and in 2011 he co-hosted a radio talk show with Joshua Pellicer called Game On on both Sirius and XM Satellite.[7][9][10] The show concluded its run in 2011[2] with Harbinger creating new businesses in Los Angeles.[7][11]

In early 2018, Harbinger split from his former partners, left The Art of Charm podcast, and started a new podcast The Jordan Harbinger Show under his own name.[12][13][14][9][15] In 2021, Harbinger signed a renewal deal on the PodcastOne network.[16] His self-help podcast was listed by Apple as one of the top 25 most downloaded new shows of 2018.[17][18][19][20][21][1][22][10] In 2023, according to Entrepreneur, the show averaged 5 to 10 million downloads a month.

Other appearances

In 2013 Harbinger demonstrated at DEF CON how easily a person can be manipulated into divulging information to someone who may not be what they claim to be,[23] based on the Robin Sage experiment of 2010.[24]

In 2020 Harbinger interviewed Billy McFarland while McFarland was in federal prison.[25] During the interview, McFarland admitted guilt publicly for the first time. The interview was filmed by ABC News and featured in season 1, episode 4 of The Con.[26][27][28]

Harbinger has contributed articles to Newsweek Magazine[29][30][31] and Entrepreneur.[32] He also made recurring appearances on The Adam Carolla Show.[33]
