AJ and Jordan Harbinger are Michigan natives and founders of the Social Dynamics interview show, Pickup Podcast, the Game On radio show and The Art of Charm coaching program. Both are self-made Social Dynamics experts who have turned their experience and passion into a successful business helping both men and women establish and maintain healthy, strong relationships.
Jordan’s original career choice put him on the path to becoming a Wall Street Lawyer, but it was the method he used to get into law school that introduced him to the area of social influence and dynamics.
His grades were not strong enough to gain acceptance to the University Of Michigan School of Law, so Jordan talked his way into the program. Bolstered by the success of his endeavor, Jordan’s passion for the power of effective social influence skills, and their value in the lives of those who possess them, was ignited. He began studying Social Dynamics while also working on his law degree at Michigan, and undertook a search to find those at the top of the field.
Jordan graduated and headed to New York City where he went on to be a lawyer at a prestigious Wall Street firm. His interest in Social Dynamics never waned and in fact, it exploded with his introduction to effective and proven social dynamists Johnny Dzubak & Alex Weber. Through his relationships with Dzubak and Weber, Harbinger realized his destiny in the field of Social Dynamics.
Jordan introduced to the idea of Social Dynamics to AJ in 2004. AJ had been using these skills, but never thought of it as a teachable concept. He joined Jordan in pursuit of Social Dynamics at the University of Michigan, where he was in graduate school studying biology. Together they learned of their own social influence aptitude through a series of “real life” experiments. AJ was hooked and the two began teaching social dynamics on a part-time basis.
In 2006 they launched their first Social Dynamics venture in Pickup Podcast, a relationship advice and social dynamics interview program that developed a sizable following. The experience convinced Jordan of the need for new innovation and development within the industry, a task he would take on as a personal challenge.
Jordan would eventually quit his law job and establish The Art of Charm, a Social Dynamics training program for both men and women. AJ later joined, and together they developed The Art of Charm into a successful business. SiriusXM Sattellite Radio later developed a show called “Game On” for AJ and Jordan in 2008.
AJ and Jordan insist that their approach and methodology is more than just mere dating advice. Instead, they have combined their past relationship and family experience with the knowledge of their studies and their natural abilities to foster a program which helps develop strong, long-lasting relationships.
Jordan sums up their philosophy in relationships and business by stating, “A core principle of my own life, and upon which this company was founded, is that one should leave everything and everyone better than they were before we met. By bringing positivity and abundance to others, you can’t go wrong.”
