AJ Harbinger is the CEO and co-founder of The Art of Charm. Prior to founding AOC, Harbinger pursued a Ph.D. in Cancer Biology. With no prior knowledge about social dynamics, Harbinger pored over the material, quickly mastering the fundamental concepts. His background in biology helped him to apply the scientific method, taking his book knowledge to the next level through in-field experience. While still at the University of Michigan, he founded The Art of Charm Podcast, which was later featured on SiriusXM Radio. He lives in Hollywood, California, which provides no shortage of places for him to continue to test and develop the techniques taught by The Art of Charm.

AJ's written material hits the spot. Personal Relationships and Social Dynamics are his specialty. Whether you are in a business relationship, personal relationship or simply trying to learn more about Social Dynamics, AJ and The Art of Charm are your guys. This particular post caught my eye because the line between "in need" and "neediness" can blur when starting up a new business. I didn't want to be needy, I was definitely in need of help, but wanted to provide value to all involved. This blog post really made an impression on me.

The great thing is AJ doesn't leave his reader with just a diagnosis, but wrote a followup blog post called "3 Proven Behavioral Strategies To Stop Being Needy Immediately" that I am also featuring. That post will follow next, so tune in next time for the strategies from AJ! Check out AOC and their podcast The Art of Charm Podcast.  Thanks, AJ for letting me read both of your blog posts. They make Amazing Audio!
