At some point all of us will likely experience a job loss or some other big life setback. While it can feel like your world is crashing down, there\u2019s one asset you’ll hopefully have at your disposal which can help you weather the storm: your social circle. <\/span><\/p>\n

My guest today<\/span> experienced the buoying power of relationships firsthand when he lost a job he held for over ten years. His name is Jordan Harbinger<\/a> and we\u2019ve had him on the podcast before. For 11 years he was the host of the Art of Charm Podcast, but recently found himself out of the host chair and without a job. But thanks to the social connections he\u2019s built up over the past decade, Jordan was able to quickly get back on his feet and now has a new show<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today<\/span> on the podcast, Jordan shares what it’s like to lose a job he held for a decade and what specific tactics he used to manage the roller coaster of emotions that come with that. We then dig into how his social circle was the key asset that helped him get back on his feet quickly and what you can do to start developing social capital today<\/span> so it can buoy you up in a time of need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lots of actionable advice in this episode. You\u2019ll want to take notes. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
