#66 - Life Coins, Amazon FBA Rollups & Going Back In Time

All right, we got a friend of the show here, Jordan Harbinger. He's one of the guys who's been advising us on how to build this podcast because his podcast is way more successful than ours and has been around. He's been doing podcasting for like twelve and a half years, which Jordan, that's gotta be as long as podcasting has existed, right? Yeah, I think podcasts have been around for like fourteen years and I've or fifteen and I've been around for thirteen of those. So yeah, when I started there was no way there were no iPhones. So you couldn't get podcasts on your phone. You had to use an iPod. To play them. Straight to cassette. That's how that's how long this guy's been doing it. Um so so Jordan, uh you know, I like I like your show. I've been binging it while in quarantine because, you know, what else am I gonna do besides try to learn something new or improve myself in some way? And I gotta say I like it because

You do the tr you know, the interview style show where you go deep with a guest. I think uh you know, you had it I was listening to the one with Tony Hawk, which was pretty awesome. And I gotta say, I like that you don't do the kind of surface level, you know, just just P you know, pity padding around with the questions or trying to do you know, inspirational fluff where you're just saying, Go, you can do this. Um With that episode with Tony Hawk, what was that like?'Cause Tony Hawk's an icon. How was it uh you know, interviewing Tony Hawk? It was great. He's a really interesting guy, really open and fun, and he told some pretty funny stories. One which was very apropos of what's going on right now is One day he walked into his agent or some sort of marketing team that he'd hired. He walked into their office. This is like at the height of video games where he's making, I don't know, well fifty million bucks off these skating games and these brands. And he goes in and he says, Look, I got this backpack that was made pretty shoddily and it's got my name and face on it. I don't want any more stuff like that. And as the agent marketer whatever is sort of nodding his head in understanding, Tony goes, wait, what's that on your shelf? And it was a roll of toilet paper with Tony Hawk's name, face, and logo on it. And he goes, What the hell is that?

And the guy goes, Oh yeah, anything we put your name and face on does so well. We were joking that we could put your face on toilet paper and we'd still be able to sell it. And he fired them on the spot because it was clear that they didn't value his brand. Which I thought was a funny story. He's got a ton of stuff like that that he talked about on the show. That is epic. Uh you know, I actually met Tony Hawk, uh we went on a trip to Africa, a charity trip together, and believe it or not, we were halfway up a up a mountain in Ethiopia where you know it's a like this is a mountain village And somebody saw him there and they were like Tony Hawk. You know, that's probably the only English word they said to us all day. They identified Tony Hawk on a mountain in Ethiopia. That's how famous that guy is. So that's an amazing uh guest to have on the show. Imagine being that famous that you get recognized in the middle of countries where like nobody speaks your language and they m maybe don't even have skateboards. Yeah, we were there trying to give people clean water. They didn't even have water, but they knew Tony Hawk. That's how that's how famous I got. Amazing. Awesome. Well, if you want to uh hear more from Jordan, we're gonna be having him on uh more and more. He's a friend of the friend of the house.
