Megan Phelps-Roper (@meganphelps) grew up in the Westboro Baptist Church, an organization widely monitored as a hate group for its anti-gay, anti-Jewish, anti-American protests. She left WBC in 2012 and has since written about her experiences in Unfollow: A Memoir of Loving and Leaving the Westboro Baptist Church. This is part one of a two-part episode. Stay tuned for the second episode coming later this week!
What We Discuss with Megan Phelps-Roper:What it was like to grow up in what documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux called "The Most Hated Family in America."Why the Westboro Baptist Church feels it's uniquely qualified to spread what it sees as the "true" word of God in a way that shocks and offends the rest of the world.How the Westboro Baptist Church interprets feelgood lessons from the Bible like "Love thy neighbor" and the tale of the good Samaritan.Why children who grow up in Westboro Baptist Church aren't educated at home, but encouraged to go to public schools.The complicated history of the church's founder (and Megan's grandfather), Fred Phelps, who championed civil rights for African-Americans as a lawyer while campaigning against homosexuals, Jewish people, dead soldiers, tsunami victims, Mr. Rogers, and others deemed "deviant" by his very specific interpretation of the Bible (e.g., everybody not belonging to Westboro Baptist Church).And much more...Full show notes and resources can be found here: https://jordanharbinger.com/302

What We Discuss with Zak Dychtwald:At 417 million strong, China has more millennials than North America, the Middle East, and Europe combined.Chinese millennials and its younger generations are experiencing -- and influencing -- a society and culture changing at 10 times the speed of what Western millennials have experienced.What this breakneck rate of change means for the childhood of someone growing up in modern China and the effect it has on his or her resulting worldview.Whether we view it as a collaborator, competitor, or consumer, this "Young China" is the single most important rising actor on the world stage.How Zak became fluent in Mandarin -- considered by the CIA to be the hardest language to learn in the world -- at the highest level in two and a half years instead of the customary six.And much more...Full show notes and resources can be found here: https://jordanharbinger.com/293

What We Discuss with Neil Pasricha:Why anxiety is at an all-time high when we live in an age of relative ease compared to what our ancestors (and even recent generations) endured. Why you need to be prepared — and willing — to lose more if you want to win more from what life has to offer.How to set up incredibly productive untouchable days where you're basically unplugged and unreachable — even when you have bosses and significant others who may be resistant to the idea.How to use the Saturday morning test to brainstorm new skills, adventures, and personal improvements you'd like to implement.A failure budget you can use to try new things, fail, and rejoin the fray — enhanced by the experience, but with relatively few scrapes and bruises.And much more…Full show notes and resources can be found here: https://jordanharbinger.com/277Sign up for Six-Minute Networking — our free networking and relationship development mini course — at jordanharbinger.com/course!
