The podcast The Art of Charm strives to teach people how to become extraordinary. It encompasses topics like health and fitness. More than that, it explores productivity, social dynamics, and networking advice. The hosts strive to teach listeners how to get other people to like and trust them. They provide tips on developing and nurturing any type of relationship. It doesn't matter if it's a friendship, a romantic partnership, or a business connection.
The Art of Charm podcast started by accident. Over fifteen years before it began, AJ and Jordan Harbinger became friends. From the beginning, the pair noticed they had complementary life skills. AJ, then a cancer biologist, knew how to charm women and go out on dates. Jordan, a lawyer at the time, knew how to impress potential clients and partners. The two decided they'd teach each other their special talents.
They would go out to events together and test out different techniques like trying to read someone's body language or tone of voice. Soon, the experiment became an obsession. The duo read books and studies about the topic to improve their skills. It didn't take long before friends came to them for advice. That's when they decided to start spreading their knowledge via a podcast.
The Art of Charm is a platform that distills everything the hosts have learned over the years. In episodes titled "Toolbox," they focus on essential life skills. These include how to make small talk and how to build a social circle that adds value to life. They offer guidance on everything from negotiation tactics to navigating a breakup. Other episodes offer interviews with psychologists, HR professionals, and even CIA and FBI agents. They provide actionable advice on anything from raising children to boosting self-esteem.
Episodes of The Art of Charm after 2019 don't include Jordan. Instead, Johnny Dzubak took over cohosting. He also runs the boot camp with AJ. The conversations continue to focus on practical ways of improving the listeners' interactions. They do so with the most up-to-date scientific research. New episodes come out on Mondays.
