Justin Ross Lee: Hacking His Way To Platinum Status And Bending Rules ‘Til They Break
Episode description
When I first announced I’d be interviewing today’s guest, half the people I spoke to asked me “WHY would you interview HIM?” The other half typically responded “I can’t wait to hear THIS one.”
The NY Post calls him “The Ego That Attacked NYC” and much like Howard Stern, he relishes his status of being nearly equally loved and hated by basically everyone and he doesn’t really care as long as you don’t forget him (which would be hard to do).
Justin Ross Lee is an “asshole.” But that’s not MY opinion, he states it clearly in the title of his first major book: “Don’t You Know Who I Think I Am?: Confessions of a First-Class Asshole“
He often goes by his initials “JRL” but he’s also (in)famous for coining the term “Jew Jetter” to describe his very unique brand of travel hacking and manipulating his way to access an amazingly luxurious lifestyle. (He’s been referred to as an aristo-brat… though he may have given himself this name as well).
He's also the founder of the luxurious pocket square company: Pretentious Pocket
So Why Would I Invite Such A Person Onto My Show And Give Hime Even More Attention?
Well it wouldn’t be the first time I invited a self-confessed asshole on the show. Listeners who’ve heard my interview with 3 time NY Times Bestselling Author Tucker Max who wrote “I hope the serve beer in hell” and “Assholes Finish First” will understand why.
I believe you can learn something from (almost) anyone.
So I hope you enjoy my interview with JRL as much as I did having the conversation.
And if you want more, I highly suggest you grab his book was just released on Amazon…
