1126: Richard Reeves | Rethinking the Purpose of Modern Masculinity

We were promised flying cars. Somehow we got refrigerators that need software updates. I got questions. And that's a good place to start with everything everywhere daily. They got an episode called Why Are There No Flying Cars, along with episodes about NASA's human computers, the history of pizza, and all kinds of things you didn't realize you actually wanted explained. Each episode takes about ten minutes, so you can learn something interesting while you're walking the dog or doing dishes without signing yourself up for a semester. The show covers history, science, geography, technology, even mathematics. And before you say, Hey, Jordan, I'm voluntarily listening to a podcast, why would I choose math? The point is to make these subjects interesting and approachable. Start with the Flying Cars episode or NASA's human computers. Give your curiosity something better to do than refreshing the same three apps. Learn something new every single day with everything everywhere daily. Find it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. When you hear that somebody survived a parachute failure, the headline leaves out pretty much everything you want to know.

When did they realize something was wrong? What went through their mind? How do you even begin to process that afterward? That's the appeal of what was that like. People who've been through extraordinary situations sit down and tell the story themselves. Start with Sue's Parachute Failed or Leslie's House Exploded. Those titles get your attention, obviously, but hearing from the person who lived through it give you something a headline cannot. their perspective on an experience most of us can barely imagine. If you like getting past wow that's crazy and actually understanding another person's life, give this show a listen. So if you want to hear some unbelievable and inspiring firsthand stories, I invite you to check out what was that like. Every story is verified, so you know even the most bizarre are somebody's reality. Listen to what was that like on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on the app you're using right now.

Coming up next on the Jordan Harbinger Show. You roll your eyes a little bit at male behavior and judging girls and women against that. Or the other way around. And say, What's wrong with you? I have three boys, they're grown now. And I used to think I wish you were more like your sister.
