The Jordan Harbinger Show

Big Tobacco's playbook is back — just with better branding and candy flavors. Jessica Wynn clears the air about vaping here on Skeptical Sunday!

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Vapes don't produce harmless vapor. • They emit aerosol, a "chemical soup" containing nicotine, heavy metals like lead and nickel, formaldehyde, and ultrafine particles that penetrate deep into lungs where filtration is impossible.
JUUL revolutionized addiction by using nicotine salts instead of freebase nicotine • — lowering the pH for smoother hits at higher concentrations, delivering a faster brain rush with less coughing, and packing one pod with the equivalent of an entire pack of cigarettes.
Many vapes labeled "nicotine-free" actually contain nicotine when tested • , and secondhand aerosol isn't safe either — it deposits residue on surfaces, harms pets, and exposes bystanders to the same toxic cocktail inhaled by the vaper.
The same playbook Big Tobacco used for decades • — targeting kids, using candy flavors, buying off scientists, and fighting regulation —
 is now deployed through sleeker devices and better branding.Quitting is possible, and the tools actually work. Programs like the Truth Initiative's "This Is Quitting" show 40% higher quit rates, and texting DITCHVAPE to 88709 connects you with free, judgment-free support designed for real people fighting real addiction.Connect with Jordan • on

On This Week's Feedback Friday:

You were raised by a manipulative mother with serious mental health issues who impersonated you to your friends and lied about your absent father. • Now at 29, you're isolated, your sister won't speak to you, and mom has vanished. 
Can you rebuild trust — and yourself — after so much damage?Your partner is loving, attentive, and supportive, but he's hiding alcohol and nicotine habits, and his lies trigger your past trauma from being cheated on. • Add in a cancer-stricken cat, job loss, and 600+ rejected applications, and you're in survival mode. 
Where do you even begin to untangle this?You and your mom swapped social media feeds and discovered just how different your political echo chambers are — and how engineered that division really is. • Now you want to burst your filter bubble and find balanced news sources. 
But in today's algorithm-driven media landscape, is that even possible? [Thanks to internet pioneer and social media critic Jaron Lanier for helping us with this one!]Recommendation of the Week: A passport holder with an AirTag attached (plus a sub-rec: personalized passport books as a holiday gift).You're pivoting from an oversaturated, unfulfilling career into cybersecurity. • You've earned the certifications, but breaking in feels impossible. Your partner, your future family plans, and a potential move to Melbourne all hinge on this career switch.

1259: Mad Mother's Lies Sever Tenuous Family Ties | Feedback Friday

Wisdom isn't about what you know — it's what you actually do. Author Ryan Holiday breaks down why virtue requires action, not just good intentions. 

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1258

What We Discuss with Ryan Holiday:

Wisdom isn't knowledge — it's the consistent application of knowledge when nobody's watching. • Ryan distinguishes between knowing something intellectually and actually living it. You can memorize every Stoic principle ever written, but if you don't apply those lessons when you're stressed, angry, or tempted, you don't possess wisdom — you just own some expensive bookshelf decorations.
Reading is a legitimate superpower that lets you download decades of human experience in hours. • Books give you access to conversations with the greatest minds across history — people you could never meet, asking questions you'd never think to ask. It's not about collecting titles; it's about systematically absorbing hard-won lessons from people who already made the mistakes.
The Dunning-Kruger effect explains why fools rarely doubt themselves while the wise remain perpetually curious. • True wisdom requires intellectual humility — acknowledging the vast ocean of what you don't know. The loudest voices in any room are usually the least informed, while genuine experts understand their knowledge has limits.
Ego is wisdom's silent assassin — it convinces you that you've already arrived when the journey never actually ends. • Ryan's refusal to obsessively check book rankings isn't false modesty; it's strategic protection against letting external validation corrupt the creative process. Soaking up applause feels good but produces nothing new.
Treat learning as a lifelong practice: absorb knowledge as if you'll live forever, but act with the urgency of someone who might not see tomorrow. • This ancient Latin wisdom reframes curiosity as non-negotiable and action as time-sensitive — a powerful combination that turns passive information consumption into meaningful, immediate application.
 • And much more...

1258: Ryan Holiday | Wisdom Takes Work

Kratom: Legal high or dangerous addiction? Nick Pell breaks down this gas station opioid alternative here on Skeptical Sunday!

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1257

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Kratom is coffee's rebel cousin with a split personality. • This plant from the coffee family produces contradictory effects based on dose: low amounts deliver stimulant energy, while high doses act as a mild opioid mimicking weak Vicodin.
Daily high-dose kratom use (10+ grams) creates opioid-like addiction. • Withdrawal symptoms mirror opioid withdrawal but milder: anxiety, muscle aches, insomnia, and flu-like symptoms lasting a week or more with minimal medical support.
Kratom exists in regulatory limbo due to supplement laws. • DSHEA (1994) treats it as food, not a drug, requiring no FDA approval. This creates quality control nightmares with zero potency or purity standards across products.
Scientific research on kratom is scandalously sparse. • Most knowledge comes from Reddit posts and YouTube videos rather than rigorous studies, leaving a potential opioid-replacement tool completely unstudied despite addiction crisis.
Informed decision-making beats fear or hype. • Research dosage, sources, and risks before trying any substance. Understanding how kratom works empowers you to make smarter choices about whether it fits your needs or should be avoided entirely.

1256: Cheatin' Heart Yearns for Return to the Start | Feedback Friday

The same tactics that con artists use to manipulate you can be used to build trust. Dr. Abbie Maroño explains the psychology of ethical social engineering. 

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1255

What We Discuss with Dr. Abbie Maroño:

Manipulation vs. Influence: It's all about intention. • The same psychological tactics can be used for good or evil. The difference? Manipulation disregards harm to others and exploits fear, while influence builds mutual benefit and makes people 
want • to collaborate with you. Con artists use manipulation because it's faster — but ethical influence wins every time over the long term.
Scammers weaponize your emotions to bypass critical thinking. • When emotions are activated, your prefrontal cortex — the brain's logic center — gets overridden. That's why con artists use artificial urgency ("only 24 hours left!") and exclusivity ("just for you"). They only need to 
appear • trustworthy, not actually 
be • it, because you'll act before you can verify.
Shame is the silent weapon that keeps victims quiet. • The reason so many scam victims never report what happened isn't denial, it's embarrassment. Shame becomes its own prison, preventing people from seeking help or warning others. This silence protects predators and perpetuates cycles of exploitation.
Short-term thinking is the con artist's best friend. • Manipulators prey on our psychological bias toward immediate rewards. Getting $100 now 
feels • more valuable than $150 later — even when it isn't. This "survival mode" mentality keeps people chasing quick wins rather than building something sustainable.
To protect yourself, remember that other people's emotions usually have nothing to do with you. • When someone pushes your buttons or creates pressure, pause and recognize it for what it is: a tactic, not a personal attack. Shelving your emotional reaction keeps your critical thinking intact — and that's your best defense against manipulation and your greatest asset in any negotiation.
 • And much more...

1255: Abbie Maroño | Mastering Persuasion with Social Engineering

Your fertility might be the canary in your body's coal mine. Urologist Dr. Justin Houman explains why this matters way beyond making babies.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1254

What We Discuss with Dr. Justin Houman:

Male fertility is a diagnostic window into overall health. • Low sperm counts correlate with cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and even earlier mortality. Your reproductive system is essentially sending you a biological memo about the state of your entire body.
Varicoceles (varicose veins of the testicles) are one of the most underdiagnosed yet treatable causes of male infertility • , low testosterone, and testicular pain. They cause blood to pool and overheat the testicles, and most men never know they have them because general practitioners rarely check for them during routine physicals.
TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) shuts down natural testosterone and sperm production • — and once you start, you essentially can't stop. Before jumping on the TRT train, explore alternatives like addressing vitamin deficiencies, improving sleep, and using medications that stimulate natural production instead.
Erectile dysfunction isn't just a bedroom problem — it's often the first warning sign of cardiovascular disease. • The same arterial issues that cause heart attacks show up in penile blood flow first, making your erection quality a surprisingly accurate early warning system for your heart health.
The foundations of long-term hormonal and sexual health are remarkably simple • : consistent strength training, quality sleep, stress management, and whole foods. Starting in your twenties and thirties, these habits build the infrastructure that keeps your systems running smoothly for decades to come.
 • And much more...

1254: Justin Houman | Wiggling Out of the Male Fertility Crisis

Bureaucracy kills more transplant patients than shortage does. Jessica Wynn harvests the truth about organ donation's dark side here on Skeptical Sunday! 

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1253

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Over 100,000 Americans wait for organs while 13 die daily • — not from organ shortage, but from systemic inefficiency, poor matching protocols, and bureaucratic bottlenecks that waste thousands of usable organs annually.
Living donation is safer than most realize. • Donors can give kidneys, liver portions, even lungs while alive and generally recover well, but workplace protections vary wildly by state, creating real financial and career risks for altruistic donors.
The organ matching system is a bureaucratic labyrinth. • HRSA, OPTN, UNOS, CMS, and CDC all overlap in managing transplants, creating inefficiencies that prevent organs from reaching recipients in time despite available technology.
Ethical nightmares haunt the system. • Scandals include surgeons nearly harvesting from living patients, global black markets exploiting the poor, and allegations of forced organ harvesting from prisoners in countries like China without consent.
Register as a donor and advocate for reform. • One donor saves up to eight lives and helps 75+ through tissue donation. Push for automated referrals, airline transport mandates, and better tracking tech to transform a broken but lifesaving system.

1252: Her Delusions You Fled; Now She's in an ER Bed | Feedback Friday

We're living in parallel realities with different "facts." Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales breaks down how trust eroded — and how we might restore it.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1251

What We Discuss with Jimmy Wales:

Wikipedia succeeded where its predecessor failed because it prioritized making contribution enjoyable. • Nobody truly works for free — people need intrinsic rewards like connecting with fellow enthusiasts, intellectual satisfaction, and the joy of building something meaningful together.
The global crisis of trust stems from people living in parallel realities with different "facts." • Productive discourse becomes impossible when opposing sides can't agree on basic data — like immigration numbers — before debating policy solutions.
"Assume good faith" isn't just a Wikipedia policy — it's a life-changing mindset. • Most people making mistakes aren't malicious; they need guidance. Approaching others with initial trust creates positive cycles, whether parenting teenagers or managing remote teams.
Trust isn't built through perfection — it's built through transparency • , especially when you have something to hide. Organizations that acknowledge mistakes, explain their processes, and openly work to improve earn more lasting credibility than those claiming flawlessness.
Want to make a meaningful impact? Just start. • The next five years will pass regardless of what you do — so test your ideas early, embrace potential failure as learning, and remember that trying something that doesn't work still beats endlessly planning something you never attempt.
 • And much more...
