  • 1181: Jefferson Fisher | Turning Confrontation Into Connection

    1181: Jefferson Fisher | Turning Confrontation Into Connection
    Jul 10 2025

    Arguments escalate into relationship disasters daily. Trial attorney Jefferson Fisher shares courtroom tactics he uses to turn conflict into connection!

    Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1181

    What We Discuss with Jefferson Fisher:

    • Use time to regulate emotions in conflict. Take a breath before responding and slow down your speech. This prevents escalation and keeps you in control rather than entering "ignition mode" where you say things you regret.
    • Every person has surface and depth, and hostile behavior often masks deeper struggles. Asking "What's your biggest struggle?" can transform confrontational situations into connection.
    • Approach conversations with "something to learn" not "something to prove." When you try to win arguments, you lose relationships. Focus on understanding rather than being right to achieve better outcomes.
    • Handle interruptions strategically. Let them interrupt once, resume where you left off without acknowledging their interruption, then address it directly if they interrupt again: "I can't hear you when you interrupt me."
    • Show you're listening with one simple question. Before sharing your own story or response, ask one follow-up question about what they just shared. This makes people feel heard and valued in conversation.
    • And much more...

  • 1180: Dean Spears | The Quiet Apocalypse of Global Depopulation

    1180: Dean Spears | The Quiet Apocalypse of Global Depopulation
    Jul 8 2025

    Birth rates are crashing worldwide. After the Spike author Dean Spears reveals why depopulation — not overpopulation — threatens humanity's future.

    Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1180

    What We Discuss with Dean Spears:

    • Global depopulation is coming. Birth rates are falling worldwide and will soon drop below replacement level, causing population to peak then decline rapidly within decades.
    • Depopulation won't solve climate change. Environmental problems are solved by changing what people do, not reducing population. Timing doesn't align with climate urgency.
    • Government birth rate policies largely fail. Of 26 countries with birth rates below 1.9, none have returned above 2.0 despite various incentives and programs.
    • Fewer people means fewer innovations. People generate the ideas and technologies that solve problems. Depopulation reduces humanity's capacity for progress.
    • Start conversations about population stabilization. Rather than endless decline, we can work toward stabilizing population and making parenting more feasible and fair.
    • And much more...

    1179: Sister's Bad Beau Threatens Her Share of Dough | Feedback Friday

  • 1178: Connor Beaton | How Society Engineered a Generation of Lonely Men

    1178: Connor Beaton | How Society Engineered a Generation of Lonely Men
    Jul 3 2025

    Porn, apps, and missing fathers created a male crisis of loneliness. Here, ManTalks podcast host Connor Beaton breaks down the data and offers solutions.

    Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1178

    What We Discuss with Connor Beaton:

    • Male loneliness epidemic: 15% of men report having no close friends (up from 3% in 1990), and 28% of men aged 18-24 have no close friends. This represents a massive social crisis.
    • Fatherless homes crisis: 43% of US children live without their father. This correlates with 90% of homeless youth, 85% of behavioral disorders, 85% of youth in prison, and 90% of repeat arsonists.
    • Porn addiction epidemic: Starting as young as 9-11 years old, chronic porn use creates desensitization, erectile dysfunction, unrealistic expectations, and replacement of real relationships.
    • Collapse of male spaces: Traditional male-oriented spaces like Boy Scouts have disappeared, leaving young men without mentorship or models for healthy masculinity.
    • Connor Beaton recommends that men spend two nights per week with male friends for optimal mental health. Building real friendships through taking social risks — joining teams, starting conversations — combats loneliness.
    • And much more...

    1177: Iran vs. Israel 2025 | Out of the Loop
    Jul 1 2025
    On this Out of the Loop, Jason Pack helps us understand what the conflict between Iran and Israel signifies, and where we can expect it to go from here.Note: This episode was recorded on June 25, 2025. Given the rapidly evolving nature of the Iran–Israel conflict, please be aware that some developments may have occurred since the time of recording.Welcome to what we're calling our "Out of the Loop" episodes, where we dig a little deeper into fascinating current events that may only register as a blip on the media's news cycle and have conversations with the people who find themselves immersed in them. Disorder podcast host Jason Pack is here to help us make sense of the recent escalation in conflict between Iran and Israel — how we got here, the dangers and opportunities of the moment, and what we need from world leadership to keep the problem contained.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1177On This Episode of Out of the Loop:Israel launched surprise attacks on Iran's nuclear program and leadership, setting back its nuclear capabilities by months to years while demonstrating complete intelligence penetration.The US brokered a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, but this only addresses symptoms — the underlying regional conflicts and proxy wars remain unresolved.Iran announced it's accelerating its nuclear program in response to the attacks, following the "Libya lesson" that nuclear weapons provide protection from regime change.The current moment presents a unique opportunity for comprehensive Middle East peace due to weakened Iranian proxies and shifting regional power dynamics.Success requires multilateral diplomacy involving Qatar, Europe, Gulf states, and addressing root causes — not just ceasefire management but genuine conflict resolution through shared interests.And much more!Connect with Jordan on Twitter, on Instagram, and on YouTube.

    1176: Earthing | Skeptical Sunday
    Jun 29 2025
    Earthing claims walking barefoot cures diseases through electron transfer. Jessica Wynn debunks this $5 billion pseudoscience industry on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1176On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Earthing lacks scientific credibility. The theory that touching earth transfers healing electrons to cure diseases has no legitimate scientific backing. Physics experts confirm that being "short by a few electrons" among the 10 octillion electrons in our bodies cannot influence health.The research is fundamentally flawed. The 26 studies cited by earthing proponents involve the same small group of authors citing each other, use tiny sample sizes, and employ vague language that wouldn't meet basic scientific standards.It's a massive commercial enterprise. The global earthing equipment market was valued at $5.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $9.18 billion by 2032, selling products like grounding mats, copper-threaded sheets, and earthing blankets with no proven benefits.Extreme practices pose real dangers. Some practitioners walk barefoot in snow, on freeways, or sleep directly on ground, risking frostbite, infections, injuries, and exposure to bacteria and parasites.Embrace nature connection the right way. Go outside, walk in parks, touch trees, and lie in grass — these activities genuinely benefit mental health through fresh air, sunlight, movement, and mindfulness. Just don't replace evidence-based medicine with dirt, and enjoy nature's real benefits without the pseudoscience.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
