Episode 512: The Best of Habits&Hustle: Jordan Belfort (Wolf Of Wall Street)
19 Dec 2025
How do you rebuild your life when everyone thinks they already know your story? How do you stay sharp and influential when every move you make is judged and dissected? In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Jordan Belfort, the real-life inspiration behind Martin Scorsese’s acclaimed film The Wolf of Wall Street based on his bestselling autobiography. We get into the mindset behind high-stakes decisions, the psychology of influence, and how he built a system that turns underdogs into top performers. Jordan talks about rebuilding credibility, the habits that keep him steady now, and what extreme pressure taught him about discipline. He breaks down what persuasive leaders actually do differently and why charisma alone never gets you there. If you want a sharper understanding of communication, conviction, and reinvention, this one will land. Jordan Belfort is an entrepreneur, bestselling author, global sales trainer, and creator of the Straight Line System. After rising fast, falling hard, and rebuilding his life from the ground up, he has become one of the most recognizable thinkers in sales psychology, persuasion, and personal reinvention today.
