1412: Leo Mann | Don't Sign That Contract Before You Listen to This

You know that story you would absolutely never tell with your parents in the room? There's a podcast built around those stories. It's called Risk. People tell true stories they never thought they'd dare to share. And we're talking about things like being kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel. It's a little beyond, hey, I had a weird weekend. But the hook isn't just how wild these stories get, it's hearing someone say the thing most people would leave out. The embarrassing detail, the terrible decision, the part that makes them look human instead of heroic. If you like the conversations on this show where somebody drops the polished version and tells you what actually happened, This other podcast is right up your alley. Some stories are funny, some are intense. You might find yourself thinking, I cannot believe you're telling this into a microphone, which honestly is a pretty good reason to keep listening. Listen to and follow Risk wherever you get your podcasts. Coming up next on The Jordan Harbinger Show.

My entire profession is basically a fire department that quietly sells matches. I think is like the dirty little secret of the legal world. We make billions cleaning up contracts after they explode in your face. The most dangerous sentence in American life to me is that the one you've heard a hundred times and salesperson says Don't worry, it's standard. Stand it means common. You know what else is common? The flu. The chaos and confusion is the strategy. Somebody got a huge Christmas bonus for making that paragraph unreadable. What's the problem? They keep coming in my apartment parents to do yoga.
