#62 - Lambda School for Secretaries, Billionaire of The Week, Deepfakes & More

Okay, we got um friend of the show, Jordan Harbinger's here. Jordan, how you doing, man? Thanks for having me on, man. I'm just uh chilling, self-isolating, you know, the us. We are all isolating, but I like I appreciate you dropping in on the show, just parachuting in, uh just for a couple minutes. It's always fun to have you. You know, this is a a crazy time. Twenty twenty's been a crazy year. We got coronavirus. And we also had, you know, the sad tragic passing of Kobe Bryant Who was A guest on your show. How how did how did that happen? How do you get Kobe? Yeah, you know what was funny is I was pitching a publicity team for a different guest that I can't even rem remember now'cause he was about one percent as famous as Kobe Bryant and they booked it and it was it was like some comedian, which I of course was really excited about. They booked it and they canceled it and I got really annoyed and they said well

Would you consider interviewing Kobe Bryant instead? And I said, Yeah, of course I would consider that. Let's do that. So we set it up and I flew down to Kobe's office and went over there and hung out for a while and did the interview right there. And it was it was incredible. It was a really interesting experience to be there with his team as well for that. Yeah. And uh honestly it was probably September of twenty nineteen, so the timing was r was interesting. And y you know me, I asked him all kinds of questions that had nothing to do with basketball, including about creativity business hiring and firing because you wonder how a guy like Kobe Bryant decides who to hire and how he lets people go. I don't know if I'd want to be on the wrong side of him. And uh I I did end up asking him about uh his life and what he's gonna do for his second act and if he ever creepily I asked him if he ever thinks about what he's gonna do if he were gone because he has kids and and he was really, really honest in the interview. He was really, really uh straightforward and I admire that. It was a really good interview in my opinion. Yeah, that is um

Intense, high stakes interviewing, uh to say the least. And was he like an idol of yours before you did the interview? No, man. Honestly, I look, who doesn't love watching basketball, but I wasn't even I'm just not a fanboy of athletes in general. So it was a great unique opportunity, but I wasn't nervous because of that. I was more nervous because you just never know if your audio equipment's gonna f screw up. So I was more nervous like make sure it's recording than I was nervous to be sitting in front of Kobe Bryant. Honestly he's so he was so friendly and unassuming. And not very loud. In fact, we even had audio issues recording it'cause we're like, hey, we gotta turn him up really high and I said, You're really quiet and he goes, Yeah, I'm just not a loud guy, man. And I was like, Oh my God, can you be loud for like the next forty five minutes? So it w it was a really unique experience. I'll I'll be thankful for that for a long time to come. That is amazing. You know, when we started this show, we were doing the interview style thing and I made a a bucket list, a wish list of all the guests that I would want. Uh you know, Coby was on there and Uh when I look at your show and I've been going I've been plowing through the archive of episodes that you got
