Larry Lawton (@LawrenceRLawton) stole over $18m in diamonds and spent 11 years in some of the toughest federal prisons in the country. He works with The Reality Check Program to keep youth out of trouble that would land them in prison, and is the co-author of Gangster Redemption: How America's Most Notorious Jewel Robber Got Rich, Got Caught, and Got His Life Back on Track. This is part one of a two-part episode. Stay tuned for the rest later in the week! What We Discuss with Larry Lawton: How young Larry fattened his wallet with $125 a week in 1972 (equivalent to over $750 a week today) with various scams, thefts, and hustles. How Larry wound up getting into the jewelry robbery game, and what he did to maintain control over the situation when he had a gun pulled on him his first time out. Why Larry spent over $10,000 to get a professional education in the jewelry trade when he decided this would be the focus of his criminal career. How a business owner can ensure their place isn't the one chosen when a potential robber is casing businesses in search of an easy target. How Larry would plan and execute a heist when he was a career criminal, and what he would do afterward to hide his trail from the inevitable investigation. And much more...

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/431 On This Week's Stereo Sunday, We Talk About Resilience: Resilience is a quality that is literally life-defining. It can make or break a career, open or close doors, and mean the difference between failing and succeeding. What is resilience? When we talk about resilience, what we’re really talking about is the ability to survive the ups and downs of life without taking too much of a hit. We don’t have control over everything that happens to us in life, but we do have control over what it means and how it affects us. Why does resilience matter? The more resilient you are, the greater your chances of overcoming adversity and succeeding. The less resilient you are, the more likely you are to hit a wall, give up, or drop off when things get tough. How do we cultivate resilience? Because it's not a skill like learning a language By making meaning out of adversity, developing and nurturing strong relationships, and seeking out new experiences. Resilience is a process. It’s not a skill you acquire once and then never have to work on again. And no matter how resilient you become, you can always become more resilient, you can always build up more grit -- and you should, because you can never have enough!

You've been trying to set boundaries with your bipolar mother about not calling during work hours unless it's important, but she calls you three to five times before noon every day just to talk. How can you help her to understand that her perspective isn't authoritative? We'll cover this and more here on Feedback Friday!

You've been trying to set boundaries with your bipolar mother about not calling during work hours unless it's important, but she calls you three to five times before noon every day just to talk. How can you help her to understand that her perspective isn't authoritative? You've had to fire and sue a general contractor who bilked you on a house renovation, and now you're forced to live in expensive, short term rentals while you find someone reliable to finish the job. How do you keep your sanity and identity intact while languishing in limbo? A friend with whom you reconnected has been diagnosed with depression, but would rather keep rehashing the same conversations with you rather than seek professional therapy. How can you bow out of your unintentional counseling role so she can get the help she really needs?  You were recently selected by your company for “reverse mentoring” -- a program that connects senior-level managers with younger and less experienced employees in order to exchange fresh perspectives. Your mentee will be the CEO of the company. How do you make this unique opportunity valuable for both of you? You've been strengthening your network thanks to following our free Six-Minute Networking exercises, and now you've been getting clients for your new photography business.

Greg McKeown (@GregoryMcKeown) is the host of the What's Essential podcast and author of the New York Times bestseller Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, which challenges core assumptions about achievement (e.g., “more is better”) to get to the essence of what really drives success — on one’s own terms. What We Discuss with Greg McKeown: Essentialism: the antidote to the problems of feeling busy but not productive, stretched too thin in one area of life, and fulfilling the agendas of others but not our own. Learn how to live by design, not by default. Find out how to say “no” effectively without getting in trouble at home — or fired. Discover how to set hard boundaries between work and play. Learn why folks who are originally very good at essentialism can end up ruining their career and their sanity by letting these boundaries slip over time. And much more...

Jenny Radcliffe (@Jenny_Radcliffe) of Human Factor Security is an ethical social engineer hired to smash security measures using psychology, con-artistry, subliminal linguistics, cunning, and guile. She is also the host of award-winning podcast The Human Factor. What We Discuss with Jenny Radcliffe: How a childhood incident that took place in '70s Liverpool led to Jenny's resolution that she would never again allow herself to be helpless against bad people. What a thrilling break-in to the local zoo's lion exhibit in the middle of the night and an accidental sleepover in a mortuary with a dead body taught Jenny about the illusion of security. How breaking into places to test security for people went from being a side hustle (with assignments that may or may not have been legitimate or free of life-risking consequences) to Jenny's main calling. The strange, supernatural-seeming things someone might experience while alone in massive buildings after hours or asylums abandoned to the elements. What it was like to track people before the Internet, how social media made Jenny's job exponentially easier, and what you can do to protect yourself against being tracked. And much more...

Your sister's new boyfriend is a flag-waving neo-Nazi who admires what Hitler did for "his people and country." And even though she insists he's somehow one of those rare non-racist neo-Nazis, she herself has cut off contact with previously close Black and Jewish friends. How do you help her see why all of this is so wrong and counter to your inclusive upbringing? We'll tackle this and more here on Feedback Friday!

"If a decision is reversible, the biggest risk is moving too slow. If a decision is irreversible, the biggest risk is moving too fast." -James Clear How do you get your sister to see why dating her new neo-Nazi boyfriend and alienating her formerly close Jewish and Black friends is wrong on so many levels?

Anthony S. Luciano Raimondi was born into the world of organized crime, spent much of his life as a mob enforcer, has played part in heists and assassinations, and is the author of When the Bullet Hits the Bone. This is part two of a two-part episode. Check out part one here! What We Discuss with Anthony S. Luciano Raimondi: The joke Anthony told to distract the bodyguard of an African drug lord he was sent to dispose of in Nigeria. How young Anthony came to the startling discovery that his father wasn't a longshoreman, but an assassin in the mob. Why Anthony likes animals a lot more than he likes people. What happened to people in Anthony's organization who unwisely brought attention to their part in the infamous Lufthansa heist by overspending. The code by which Anthony lived, the lines even he would never cross in his business, and why he left that world behind. And much more...

The many creative ways mobsters have gotten rid of bodies over the years. How Anthony's father taught him to deal with a bully in Catholic school without getting smacked around by the nuns -- or going to jail.

Billy McFarland co-founded the ill-fated 2017 Fyre Festival, and is currently serving six years in federal prison for defrauding investors of $27.4 million. What We Discuss with Billy McFarland: The ideas that sparked what Fyre Festival was trying to achieve on an epic scale and the shortcomings that transformed it into a fraudulent, failed mess. The countless things Billy would do differently if he could have a do-over. The numerous ways in which prisons are warehouses of unmet potential. How Billy stays safe and sane when he's in solitary confinement. Billy's biggest regrets and what he hopes to have a chance to accomplish after he's served the time he agrees he deserves.

Renee DiResta (@noUpside) is the technical research manager at Stanford Internet Observatory. She studies the role that tech platforms and curatorial algorithms play in the proliferation of disinformation and conspiracy theories, terrorist activities, and state-sponsored information warfare. What We Discuss with Renee DiResta: How the anti-vaxx movement, the Tea Party, and militia groups learned early on to market and cross-pollinate their messages across social media to receptive segments of the populace with shocking success. The challenges faced by the US government in trying to stem the tide of social media exploitation by fringe groups and terrorists for the purposes of recruitment, generating sympathy for their causes, and fueling general chaos. How entire networks of disinformation evolve to support and perpetuate interconnected webs of conspiracy theories, pseudoscientific bunk, fringe political views, and propaganda planted by hostile states and bad actors. Why foreign organizations like Russia's Internet Research Agency and China's 50 Cent Party have promoted tribalism in the United States to keep us fighting among ourselves, how it serves their interests at our expense, and why we're so receptive to their influence. Why memes and hashtags are so effective as short-form vehicles to promote simple ideas powerfully across wide demographics. And much more...

David Shimer (@davidashimer) is a historian, foreign policy analyst, and author of Rigged: America, Russia, and One Hundred Years of Covert Electoral Interference. What We Discuss with David Shimer: Why the more polarized a democracy, the more vulnerable it is to foreign subversion. While we know that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and is working to interfere in the 2020 election, it's actually been attempting to subvert the integrity of our elections for the past century. Why every American, of every political persuasion, should be concerned about the interference of Russia -- or any other foreign power -- in our elections. What Russia really seeks to gain from undermining the democratic process not only in the United States, but around the world. Countermeasures the United States can use to defend itself against this kind of interference. And much more...

Here's how to deal with unsolicited, underage nudes. [Thanks to our attorney friend Corbin Payne for helping us with this one!] After efficiently streamlining and automating the duties of your new job -- for which you got a hefty raise -- you find you're really only working 20 to 30 minutes per day. How can you come to terms with working smarter rather than harder without feeling like you're taking unfair advantage of your company? Your brother has little in the way of dating experience, and is now in a relationship with a recently divorced mother of two, 11 years his senior, who can most politely be described as "mean and controlling." How might you help him see for himself that he deserves better from a partner? You have a coworker who neglects aspects of her job in a way that could erode the public's trust in your profession. You genuinely like this coworker and don't want to destroy her life, so how can you get her to change her ways before resorting to bringing it to the boss' attention? In spite of making decent enough money with the business you co-founded, you've never felt comfortable playing the role of entrepreneur.

What&rsquo;s the best time to appear before a judge? How transparency in our lives can often backfire.

John Perkins (@jperkinsauthor) is an economist who has advised the World Bank, United Nations, Fortune 500 corporations, and the US government. He is the author of The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. What We Discuss with John Perkins: How corporations and governments use economic hit men (like John in a previous life) to coerce developing countries to auction off their most valuable resources like rainforests, oil, and mines at bargain-basement prices. Why these predatory capitalist policies are commonplace and above scrutiny -- even though your tax dollars are massively subsidizing them. The dire consequences that transpire when the leaders of these developing nations refuse to play ball. How false economics, false promises, threats, bribes, extortion, debt, deception, coups, assassinations, and unbridled military power are used to dominate the developing world now more than ever before. What John has learned from his time inside this corrupt system that we can use to transform what he calls a Death Economy into a Life Economy. And much more...

You suspect your father-in-law took a large loan from the mafia in the Eastern European country where you now reside, and that they may come to you for it because you're American and they assume you're rich (which you're not). What can you do to keep your family safe? Texting &ldquo;Did they pull the plug yet?&rdquo; when your daughter was on life support a few months back was insensitive of your wife's friend. Should it be chalked up to an innocent lack of self-awareness, or is this a clear sign the friendship has run its course? You work in an industry that allows you a flexible schedule, teaches you new skills, and pays well.

Jonah Berger (@j1berger) is a professor at Wharton and a world-renowned expert on word of mouth, social influence, consumer behavior, and how products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. He's also a bestselling author; his latest book is The Catalyst: How to Change Anyone's Mind. What We Discuss with Jonah Berger: How the ingrained anti-persuasion radar we all possess makes it harder for us to follow even the best advice. Why providing someone with a "menu" of options is a far more effective method of persuasion than giving them a single option. While pushing works well when we want to move furniture, we're better off identifying obstacles and removing them when we want to guide another person in a certain direction. How effective advertising overcomes our anti-persuasion radar and gets us invested in the idea of buying products. Why most anti-smoking campaigns have an effect opposite of their intentions, and how a Thai campaign cleverly adopted a tactic that actually worked. And much more...

Mark Edward is a professional mentalist who specializes in magic of the mind -- including a convincing stint as a fake psychic. He's the author of Psychic Blues: Confessions of a Conflicted Medium. What We Discuss with Mark Edward: What is mentalism, and how does it use our desire for the outlandish to be true against us? Why all so-called psychics are frauds, though a small percentage genuinely believes their own hype. Cold reading vs. hot reading, and how psychics use the results of these readings to convince you they're able to consult supernatural entities. What it was like to work for the Psychic Friends Network, and how Mark used his mentalist superpowers to mine information from people over the phone -- and keep them calling back. How big-name celebrity psychics ply their trade in front of large studio audiences while keeping the scam safely under control. And much more...

Oliver Stone (@TheOliverStone) is a film director, producer, and writer known for tackling controversial political issues in films like JFK and Platoon. He is also the author of Chasing the Light: Writing, Directing, and Surviving Platoon, Midnight Express, Scarface, Salvador, and the Movie Game. What We Discuss with Oliver Stone: The lesson Oliver learned about humanity -- when he was a cab driver prior to becoming a world-famous director -- that still rings true for him today. Why Oliver chose to serve in the infantry during the Vietnam War when a lot of his contemporaries (including several presidents) did all they could do to avoid going. What happened when Oliver snuck an obscene amount of LSD into his uptight father's scotch one night. The projects Oliver has had to abandon in recent years, and why some of his earlier films would be impossible to make now. Oliver's candid thoughts on Vladimir Putin, the CIA, cyberwarfare, and the culpability of the American media in current affairs. And much more...

Lt. General H.R. McMaster (@ltghrmcmaster) was the 26th National Security Advisor and author of Dereliction of Duty and Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World. Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/410 What We Discuss with Lt. General H.R. McMaster: The problem with taking a "George Constanza approach" to warfare if we want to resolve conflict instead of just drawing it out longer than it needs to be. Why does the United States keep fighting, as H.R. said on 60 Minutes, "a one-year war 20 times" in Afghanistan? The importance of exercising strategic empathy in order to understand how opposing states think rather than allowing strategic narcissism to convince us that they have the same motivations and think like us. Why immigration is good for the United States and we should be encouraging it as a way to compete instead of discouraging it. If H.R. believes that climate change is one of our greatest threats and challenges, why did he support a US withdrawal from the Paris Accords? And much more...

Your mentally ill father has threatened to call the FBI on you because he interprets a photo you took of your three-year-old son with a headband on as somehow "sexualizing" him. How do you even find the right kind of lawyer to preemptively deal with this? We'll tackle this and more here on Feedback Friday!

Here's how to gain a reality-based perspective (even if reality's not seeming so great right now). Your mentally ill father has threatened to call the FBI on you because he interprets a photo you took of your three-year-old son with a headband on as somehow "sexualizing" him. How do you even find the right kind of lawyer to preemptively deal with this? You're a landscaper who's been asked to destroy a cannabis crop being grown by squatters on an absentee landlord's property. Said landlord doesn't want the cops involved. In how many ways is it a bad idea to accept this job? You've always been decent looking and you're now as healthy and in shape as you were in high school, but being legally blind has kept you from really throwing your hat in the dating ring. What can you do to find your way to romance with someone accepting of your situation? You love that you can whip through books, podcasts, and videos at 3x, but it seems to have lowered your tolerance for slow talkers and people who can't get to the point quickly in a conversation. Should you learn how to take things a little...more...slowly? After being laid off, you're currently in the process of networking and making a career shift. You've been able to secure cold calls with higher-ups that seem to have gone well, but how do you move from a cold call toward a job offer?

Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield) is an engineer, former Royal Canadian Air Force fighter pilot, retired astronaut, the first Canadian to walk in space, and author of&nbsp;An Astronaut&rsquo;s Guide to Life on Earth&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Darkest Dark. What We Discuss with Chris Hadfield: The difference between "I want to be" and "I want to turn myself into." Enjoying small victories along a path of preparation and personal growth vs. grand "make it or break it" expectations. How intense is imposter syndrome for a newly selected astronaut? What's the astronaut's (as well as earthling's) best antidote for fear? What really happens when you sneeze in space? And much more...

Mosab Hassan Yousef grew up as the son of a Hamas co-founder, then worked undercover with Israel security service Shin Bet to root out terrorist plots. He is the author of Son of Hamas: A Gripping Account of Terror, Betrayal, Political Unthinkable Choices and is featured in the documentary The Green Prince. What We Discuss with Mosab Hassan Yousef: What it was like growing up in one of the first families of Palestinian terrorist group Hamas -- and why Mosab considers it "the greatest school of [his] life." The turning point when Mosab no longer saw Hamas as the "good" guys. How Mosab dealt with the loneliness of working undercover for Israeli intelligence against his former friends and family. What Mosab feels about the well-meaning but -- he believes to be misguided -- "free Palestine" movement. What prompted Mosab to get out of undercover work and chronicle his story for others to read (and watch on television). And much more...

You wound up fathering a child during a relationship with an escort-turned-very-wealthy madam, but struggle with constant custody battles since you're not the one running a cash-only business.

Even though it's a life goal, you don't feel ready to accept the role of CFO you've been offered and it's filling you with dread instead of elation. How do you proceed cautiously without blowing a possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Your mother-in-law gets jealous if you and your spouse spend too much time with your family, and it causes friction at home. What can you do to make her realize that closeness with your family is not a crime? As a manager, you find that if you give your senior-level employees too much direction, they don't like being micromanaged. But if you're not super specific with your expectations, they tend to drop the ball and not manage their time well. How do you strike the right balance in leadership? In the workplace, how do you change subjects gracefully when you feel uncomfortable with someone oversharing or asking intrusive questions?

Harri Hursti (@HarriHursti) is an ethical hacker and researcher, co-founder of Nordic Innovation Labs, and has been featured in the HBO documentaries Hacking Democracy and Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America's Elections. What We Discuss with Harri Hursti: Who's trying to hack our elections and why. Why all Americans lose if we allow enemies of the state to tamper with our election results -- even if our "side" emerges victorious this time around. Why electronic voting machines are more vulnerable to fraudulent manipulation than mail-in ballots and other forms of voting that leave an auditable paper trail. What we know about hacking strategies that have worked on other countries -- because every single NATO country has had Russian interference in their election. How fostering the public's eroding trust in our election system is the ultimate goal of our enemies. And much more...

What We Discuss with Guy Raz: Guy's number one secret to getting a great interview. What's the one teachable quality all entrepreneurs seem to have in common? How much truth is there to the American folk tale that opportunity comes to anyone who's just willing to put in the work? What a guest has to gain by being asked difficult questions during an interview.

Cheryl Strayed (@CherylStrayed) co-hosts the Dear Sugars podcast and is the award-winning author of several books, including Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail. What We Discuss with Cheryl Strayed: Why sometimes the only way to do something right is to do some things wrong. Why we give our best advice to others even when we can't follow through with it for ourselves. The value of&nbsp;surrendering to your own mediocrity&nbsp;in order to finish what you've started.

Robert Wittman (@robertwittman) is the former senior investigator/creator of the FBI's national art crime team and author of Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures. What We Discuss with Robert Wittman: Why criminal and terrorist organizations find art less risky to smuggle than contraband like cash, drugs, or guns. The three things that make an art piece valuable: provenance, authenticity, and good title. Why the US has only relatively recently begun to take art crime seriously, whereas Italy's art crime team has a freaking submarine! Simple but effective tactics for remaining undercover without arousing suspicion from the targets. Why losing his fear instinct was a clear signal for Robert to retire from undercover work for good.

Your neighbor's in the doghouse and doesn't even know it for letting his convivial canine crap all over your yard. What's the best way to preserve peace between your houses? You were raised to care about others and your community, but it's never made you rich. Should you raise your child to be the kind of person who puts himself first -- even if it sometimes means stepping on others to get ahead?

Jennifer L. Eberhardt is a professor of psychology at Stanford University whose research explores race, bias, and inequality; she is the author of Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do. What We Discuss with Jennifer L. Eberhardt: What's going on in the brain that creates and maintains bias. How bias can alter what we feel and even what we see. How bias is contagious, and why we may have evolved bias in the first place. Why bias doesn&rsquo;t just hurt the person who is on the receiving end of it.

Danny Trejo (@officialDannyT) is an instantly-recognizable actor, producer, and restauranteur with a resume that includes crime, hard time, and battling his own addictions while helping troubled youth overcome theirs. His latest project is the documentary Inmate #1: The Rise of Danny Trejo.

Before passing away earlier this year, Dr. Anders Ericsson was the cognitive psychologist who discovered that deliberate practice, not natural talent, is the key to developing expertise. He was the co-author of Peak: Secrets From The New Science Of Expertise. What We Discuss with Dr. Anders Ericsson: Why innate talent is a myth. How to set up a deliberate practice regimen to become more effective at anything you do. The truth about the 10,000-hour rule to mastery popularized by Malcolm Gladwell.

Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) is the founder of Bridgewater Associates -- the largest and best-performing hedge fund in the world -- and author of New York Times bestseller Principles: Life and Work and the upcoming The Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed and Fail.&nbsp;This is part two of a two-part episode; make sure to catch part one here! What We Discuss with Ray Dalio: Why your success has more to do with how you handle what you don't know than what you do know. Good habits come from thinking in a principled way, but good thinking comes from exploring the reasoning behind principles.

Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) is the founder of Bridgewater Associates -- the largest and best-performing hedge fund in the world -- and author of New York Times bestseller Principles: Life and Work and the upcoming The Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed and Fail.&nbsp;This is part one of a two-part episode; be on the lookout for part two later in the week! What We Discuss with Ray Dalio: The predictable cycles that contribute to the rise and fall of great and once-great nations on the world stage -- and where Ray sees these cycles heading now. Why there are so many people denying the current pandemic as a hoax in spite of endless evidence before their very eyes. How we, as emotional human beings, should prepare ourselves for the less comfortable cycles we're bound to experience in the future. Ray's firsthand account of China's rapid evolution into a technological superpower over just the past few decades. Why we have Ray to thank (or blame) for the invention of the Chicken McNugget.

Tom Wainwright (@t_wainwright) of The Economist shares the harrowing and sometimes grisly experiences he endured while writing Narconomics: How to Run a Drug Cartel. What We Discuss with Tom Wainwright: The parallels between the drug trade and regular businesses. How ideas of economics and business apply to any entrepreneurial or business venture. How drug cartels engage in corporate social responsibility, branding, and even PR campaigns. Why drug cartels franchise, regulate labor, branch out online, and diversify into legal (and ubiquitous) industries. How an economist gets discovered wearing a GPS device to a meeting with a drug lord and lives to tell the tale!

Amanda Knox (@amandaknox) is an exoneree, journalist, public speaker, and author of Waiting to Be Heard. She was the host of The Scarlet Letter Reports and currently co-hosts The Truth About True Crime podcast. What We Discuss with Amanda Knox: How Amanda was coerced into wrongfully confessing that she was at the scene of her roommate's murder without being made aware of her rights or being given access to a lawyer. Why not understanding the difference between being questioned as a witness and interrogated as a suspect landed Amanda in custody for 1,428 days without being allowed to see her family. How even a false confession, once made, often sways a jury to convict a defendant before any of the evidence is even considered, and why it's not uncommon for a completely innocent person to give a false confession to a skilled interrogator looking to close a case quickly. Why a police department investigating a case under the scrutiny of a worldwide media frenzy might be less interested in carrying out justice than covering up its own countless acts of gross incompetence. Why a populace literate in its own legal rights is the only real way to combat the manipulation of ignorance -- by both prosecution and defense -- in the court system that leads to so many wrong outcomes.

Should you give them the benefit of the doubt that they've learned from their mistake, or back off now?

What can you do between now and then to make sure it's still there when the new year rolls around?
