The Jordan Harbinger Show

David Smalley (@davidcsmalley) is an actor, comedian, and host of the Dogma Debate podcast, in which he -- as an atheist -- regularly discusses religion and politics with preachers, pastors, comedians, and people who hold different world views. What We Discuss with David Smalley: How David Smalley went from spiritual believer to secular atheist. Why regularly challenging your own beliefs helps inoculate you against manipulation by others. The tactics car dealers and clergy use to corral people into compliance. What happens when atheists cling to faulty beliefs with the same fervor once reserved for their disavowed religions. How to debate in a way that might actually change someone's mind rather than angering them to the point of doubling down on their initial position. And much more...

Ever wondered how to get hired like a boss? Ramit Sethi (@ramit) of I Will Teach You to Be Rich joins us for this Feedback Friday to illustrate something called The Briefcase Technique, which you can use to powerfully demonstrate value to connections in your network and potential employers. As Ramit says, "The way to stand out is to not just tell people what you would do, but show them." And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason DeFillippo (@jpdef) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now let's dive in! Full show notes and resources can be found here: https://jordanharbinger.com/185. On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: How do you keep your mother from bringing her awful date -- who also happens to be your father -- to your best friend's wedding? You could retire early and enjoy time off, but you don't want to get stuck finding a new job if you get bored in a couple of years. What to do? You have questions and concerns while building a new house. How do you avoid ticking off the contractors to the point of sabotage? How do successful people balance between work they're passionate about, families they adore, and outlets they need to function at an optimal level? The dream job you landed at Harvard would be even dreamier if it paid well enough now to make a dent in your student loans. Should you stay or go? When the real nature of your job doesn't reflect what you thought you signed on for, how do you approach a contract renegotiation gracefully? How do you distinguish yourself from the competition and get hired like a boss or make new network connections stick? Ramit Sethi joins us to illustrate an almost magical tactic called The Briefcase Technique. What are the pros and cons of starting a new relationship when you describe yourself as being in an "awkward" stage in life? Life Pro Tip: Save your money on clothes, but find a fantastic tailor. A well-fitting wardrobe of thrift store finds looks way better in person than most high-end clothing. Recommendation of the Week: The Kindness Diaries (Something to ponder: How long does Leon Logothetis get stuck at gas stations waiting for people he can ask for a few drops in the tank?) A quick shoutout to Mark Serratore, who got a prison pen pal for a college course 10 years ago and still keeps in touch! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

He is the founder of Moon Express, Viome, Bluedot, TalentWise, Intelius, and InfoSpace, and the co-author of Moonshots: Creating a World of Abundance. What We Discuss with Naveen Jain: How Naveen and his siblings all became wildly successful professionals in spite of growing up financially and educationally underprivileged. How to know when a billionaire really becomes successful. Why it's the thought processes -- not the habits -- of highly successful people you should be emulating if you want to succeed. Why Naveen believes sustainability is not sustainable, and why we have to create more of what we need rather than consume less of what we have. What moonshots are, and how they make seemingly impossible goals achievable. And much more...

Lisa Lampanelli (@LisaLampanelli) recently lost 100 pounds, retired from a Grammy-nominated career in comedy that spanned three decades, and is now a life coach who runs transformational food and body-image workshops and performs issue-oriented storytelling shows. What We Discuss with Lisa Lampanelli: How Lisa made her last career pivot -- from rock journalist to comedian. How Lisa engineered her image as comedy's "Loveable Queen of Mean." The psychology of a celebrity roast and the toll it takes in the name of good fun. How Lisa lost over 100 pounds and what she learned along the journey. Why Lisa formally retired from comedy recently to focus on helping others. And much more...

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Is your significant other right to be upset that you want to spend some of your social time separately? Is spending eight years to switch careers from barber to therapist worthwhile in your mid-forties? Is there anything wrong with hiding the fact that you're in a relationship when you meet new people? You're still young, but your mindless six-figure job is wearing on you. Would it be irresponsible to drop everything and do something else? How can you overcome your intense fear and anxiety around driving? More important: should you? Our listener whose dog was attacked in episode 161 tracked down the human responsible. What's the best next step? Extensive (and very appreciated!) listener advice for helping the hoarders from last Feedback Friday. Do we ever worry that recommending podcasts we enjoy will result in fewer listeners? Life Pro Tip: When your ISP raises your bill, call in and say “cancel service” to the automated operator.

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into why the impulse for blaming other people is a phenomenon familiar to most of us, and how we can curb it in ourselves without defaulting to always taking the fall when it’s undeserved. What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: Why the externalization of blaming other people when you're at fault robs you of being truly in control of your own life. Why the internalization of blaming yourself when you're not at fault is just as toxic as externalization. How you can use the Accountability Spectrum to find an appropriate balance between externalization and internalization. What true accountability requires of you and what it gives you in return. The best antidote to blaming. And much more... Sign up for Six-Minute Networking — our free networking and relationship development mini course — at jordanharbinger.com/course!

Zvi Band (@skeevis) is the founder and CEO of Contactually, and author of the upcoming Success Is in Your Sphere: Leverage the Power of Relationships to Achieve Your Business Goals. What We Discuss with Zvi Band: Why your network isn't just some intangible asset you tend at your convenience -- it's a crucial resource you neglect at your peril. Why a network is the best way to increase your luck surface area -- the number of chances you have to get lucky when things aren't going your way. How and why relationships decay -- especially in this day and age when we're ostensibly connected to everyone we know on social media. How to prioritize your relationships -- not merely organize them. How you can easily add value to your network and relationships -- even if you've convinced yourself you've got nothing to offer.

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: What can you do when your parents are hoarders with health issues who get enraged when you try to help them? Your calmness under stress seems like a positive trait in a medical professional. But are your peers right to call you disinterested? When you dislike idle chit chat, how do you respond to the small talk question "How's business?" without being uncivil? Is becoming a police officer because you want to help people a good idea for someone who's never really dealt with trauma, or could you be throwing yourself in the deep end? How might an over-55 sales professional re-entering the job market go about starting a consulting career? Jake from Intuit stops by to help us cope with financial crises around tax time. How do you beat feeling envious of others who maintain the discipline to see their self-improvements through? When you're serious about networking, should you regularly cull connections on LinkedIn with people you don't really know? Life Pro Tip (via Mark Frauenfelder's Recomendo Newsletter): For Starbucks people traveling. When you're leaving a foreign country and still have some of the local currency, take it to a Starbucks and load it onto a gift card. You can use the card later in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Mexico, and the Republic of Ireland.

Beau Lotto (@beaulotto) is a world-renowned neuroscientist who specializes in the biology and psychology of perception. He is the author of Deviate: The Science of Seeing Differently. What We Discuss with Beau Lotto: Why our brains evolved to experience the world differently from reality. What Beau means when he says: "Choose your delusion or it will choose you." How our experiences literally change our physical makeup. Why the more complex your environment is, the more complex your brain will be. How our assumptions control our perceptions and what we can do to break free from assumptions that don't serve us. And much more...

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Is it wrong to be mad at your recently widowed parent for proposing to a rebound fling just six months after the funeral? You're sick of picking up the slack for your 70-year-old coworker who chooses not to retire. What should you do? How do you rebuild your business when your last 10 years has suddenly pulled out from under you? We might have some advice. As a job seeker, when is the right time to disclose that you have regular medical needs that require creative scheduling? We've talked about the wrong reasons to move, but what are some of the right reasons? When do the pros outweigh the cons? How do you shake the feeling of playing second fiddle when you're pretty sure you're the ugly friend in a two-person dynamic? You seem to be the only one in your neighborhood concerned about environmental apocalypse. How do you lead by example without blowing a gasket? What meaningful gifts can you get for mentors -- or anyone else for that matter -- who already seem to have everything they need? Life Pro Tip: When responding to advice, say "You're right" instead of "I know." It shows that you're actually listening to someone, that you care about what they say, and give them credit for trying to help.

Brian Scudamore (@BrianScudamore) pioneered the industry of professional junk removal with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? at age 18, scaled that success into three more home-service brands, and is the author of WTF?! (Willing to Fail): How Failure Can Be Your Key to Success. What We Discuss with Brian Scudamore: How Brian turned a trash removal business that began with a $700 investment into an international, multimillion dollar service franchise. The $29 gimmick Brian used to prove to his franchise partners they didn't need to spend big bucks on traditional marketing tactics to get their small business known. Why high school dropout Brian didn't sell his business and retire in his 20s -- even when competitors offered him millions of dollars. Brian's WTF (willing to fail) philosophy that has allowed him to harness the smaller failures along the way to avoid ultimate catastrophe in the long run (with examples). Practical exercises you can use -- for entrepreneurship as well as personal enrichment -- to similarly WTF your way forward. And much more...

A.J. Jacobs (@ajjacobs) is a journalist, lecturer, human guinea pig, and best-selling author; his latest book is Thanks a Thousand: A Gratitude Journey. What We Discuss with A.J. Jacobs: What's the difference between true gratitude and positive thinking? How acknowledging the role of luck in our lives allows us to have compassion for and empathize with others. The lifelong lessons that stick with A.J. long after the conclusion of his unique experiments. Why gratitude leads to happiness -- not the other way around. If possible, why you might consider thanking your parents on your birthday. And much more...

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Recently, your daughter's 15-year-old friend got pregnant. Should you keep your daughter away from her? With inoperable stage four pancreatic cancer, your father may not have long to live. How can you fill his remaining time with purpose? How can you be comfortable around someone who seemingly reads your mind by body language, microexpressions, and tonality? While you want to open up around others, social events have you in the corner hiding inside your shell. How can you coax yourself out to mingle? You're in your 30s and you can keep working locally at a safe, consistent job that pays well, but you're really yearning for a chance to live and work abroad. A few years from now, which choice are you most likely to regret not making? The company where you've worked for 15 years has expanded and you'd like to keep working for it -- but on the other side of the country. Should you keep this to yourself until your plans are more concrete, or should you tell your local office boss as soon as possible? You're moving from California to the UK on a plane and you're wisely taking your cat with you in the cabin. But she can be loud when she's nervous; what happens if you wind up sitting next to someone who hates cats? What's the protocol? You knew someone who could have helped you redirect your career momentum, but you've let the connection lapse and now you feel awkward about reconnecting. Is it too late to reach out? Life Pro Tip: Whenever you recall a painfully embarrassing memory, imagine the Seinfeld theme playing over it. Recommendation of the Week: Bohemian Rhapsody A quick shoutout to Jamie Sparks!

Clint Watts (@selectedwisdom) is a Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, a Senior Fellow at the Center For Cyber and Homeland Security at The George Washington University, and author of Messing with the Enemy: Surviving in a Social Media World of Hackers, Terrorists, Russians, and Fake News. What We Discuss with Clint Watts: How our own cognitive biases are manipulated in an effort to destabilize trust in each other and our very way of life. How hostile entities like ISIS use social media for propaganda and recruitment. Why Western governments can't, even with their relatively infinite wealth of resources, beat ragtag Somali Twitter pirates and ISIS shills. How bias creates social media bubbles, what forms they take, and why this is dangerous. How we can fix these issues or at least mitigate the effect they have on our lives. And much more...

Charlamagne Tha God (@cthagod) cohosts The Breakfast Club and The Brilliant Idiots, and is the author of Shook One: Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me. What We Discuss with Charlamagne Tha God: An inside look at someone in the public eye who has struggled with a lifetime of anxiety. How concepts we took in stride even 10-20 years ago are shocking by today's standards. Charlamagne's early memories of dealing with anxiety before he knew it had a name, and how it shaped his world view.

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: You accidentally sent your roommate a message meant for someone else in which you were indirectly complaining about them. Is there a way to gracefully recover from this faux pas? Even though you seem to hit it off when meeting new people, you can't seem to form close friendships and make them stick. What's missing from the formula? As a young couple about to embark on a life of wedded bliss, what's the fairest way to handle finances from the start -- especially when one person makes considerably more money? Here's Jordan's strategy for investing money with compound interest. If you could ask only one question of a person you perceive to be successful, what would it be -- and from Jordan's perspective as an interviewer, how should you ask it? What are some unexpected things you can encounter when moving to a new city -- especially when you feel like you haven't prepared enough in advance for the changes immediately ahead? What's the best way to heat up cold contacts into bona fide network connections? Is it worth it to stay at your current job for another eight years to secure your retirement finances, or is now the time to take on your own business venture? Though you relocated three years ago for a job you still consider decent, you miss family and friends back home. What are the pros and cons of moving back now?

How to creatively negotiate from a standpoint that you can get people what they really need -- even when they don't know what that need might be. How to overcome whatever fears you may have for making the big asks during a negotiation. How to get bankers, Airbnb hosts, and freelancers to give you terms you want.

Mike Posner (@MikePosner) is a musician, poet, record producer, and singer-songwriter responsible for hits like Cooler Than Me and I Took a Pill in Ibiza. What We Discuss with Mike Posner: Can two grown men who went to rival high schools as teenagers make nice on a podcast? How experiencing fame and fortune forced Mike Posner to reexamine his values -- and why he's glad it happened to him early in life. How Mike's lifestyle changed from a focus on fame, money, and materialism to one centered around self-care, creativity, and motivation. Why Mike looks at success and failure as waves that tend to follow one another -- not states of guaranteed permanence. Is Mike walking from sea to shining sea on his own two feet in an effort to prove that this Groves Falcon is way better than any Seaholm Maple could ever be? And much more...

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: What's the best way to deal with inconsiderate seatmates on an airplane? How do you conscientiously create social media content that doesn't inflict FOMO on others? Do you stay at your stable job that gives you more time with your family, or take the stressful, time-consuming job at the startup for the chance to make more money? You've been a counsellor for 15 years and want to transition to working online. Do you need to be really narrow with your audience, or can you reach out to people on a broader spectrum? You started therapy for acute to moderate generalized anxiety disorder recently. But should you disclose this to your employer? You've been running your own business for three years and finally had to hire some help. Is it wise that the first employee also happens to be your spouse? Gossipy coworkers have been spreading untrue rumours about you, and now it's affecting how others treat you at the office. How can you best put a stop to this?

Kevin Barrows is a former FBI special agent who now conducts traditional corporate fraud investigations, reputation risk and due diligence efforts, and supervises computer forensic and computer crime assignments for Renaissance Associates. What We Discuss with Kevin Barrows: Why conducting a successful interview is an art that requires establishing credibility, understanding motivation, employing psychology, assessing body language, and listening. Why approaching a witness at an inconvenient time, in the wrong place, or in the wrong way can ruin an interview before it gets started. How to quickly identify the motivation of the person being interviewed. How to make the truth the only option for the person being interviewed. How to create and execute a game plan to get to that truth -- whether it's with our spouse, our kids, or our colleagues and employees. And much more...

Chris Voss (@vossnegotiation) retired as the lead international kidnapping negotiator for the FBI, is CEO of the Black Swan Group, and is the author of the national bestseller Never Split the Difference: Negotiating as If Your Life Depended on It. What We Discuss with Chris Voss: How you can be a more effective negotiator for anything by using the FBI's own field-proven hostage negotiation techniques. How to determine which of the three archetypes of negotiator you're dealing with: The Analyst, The Assertive, or The Accommodator. Who has the real leverage in a kidnapping or hostage scenario -- and how this applies to your own lower-stakes negotiations. What it takes to subtly convince someone to have it your way. The Black Swan Rule: Treating others not the way you want to be treated, but the way they want to be treated. And much more...

It's your absolute dream to become a race car driver, though you don't really have experience working with cars and don't want to get stuck in sales or marketing. What's your best next step?

Todd Herman (@todd_herman) is an entrepreneur, coach, mentor, and author of The Alter Ego Effect: The Power of Secret Identities to Transform Your Life. What We Discuss with Todd Herman: How you can harness the power of your own secret identity -- and why you would ever want to. What it takes to adopt seemingly out-of-character characteristics and dominate your personal and professional life. Why taking on an alter ego isn't a "fake it 'til you make it" scheme, but channeling little-used facets of yourself you may not even realize exist. The hidden enemy forces that oppose your attempts at accomplishment and how to resist their subtle and not-so-subtle influences. How to honestly understand and come to terms with what truly motivates you -- and deal with what keeps you from following these motivations. And much more...

Cesar Millan (@cesarmillan) is the internationally renowned master dog trainer known best as the Dog Whisperer, founder of the Dog Psychology Center, and best-selling author of Lessons From the Pack: Stories of the Dogs Who Changed My Life. What We Discuss with Cesar Millan: How Cesar Millan went from impoverished Sinaloan kid to homeless immigrant to world-famous Dog Whisperer. What we can learn about communicating with dogs by understanding the priority of their senses compared to our own. Why the key to correcting an "untrainable" dog is usually reprogramming the human in charge. Why the rich, famous, and powerful often find animal companionship so much more grounding than time with even their closest human friends. Why human beings are the only species on the planet that will follow an unstable leader who does not represent the greater good. And much more...

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Is your passively stoic expression (aka resting bitch face) getting you turned down for promotions? Here's some advice for turning down the Spock and cranking up the rock. How can you reduce stress and have a social life when your deadly serious job requires you to be on call 24/7/365? In trying new ways to strike up conversations without coming across as having a motive or being awkward, how do you spot the line you shouldn't cross? Are you missing out on life by not spending as much time and energy on your relationships and friendships in your 20s because you're so focused on personal development? For a year and a half, Your drug-abusing friend's been cut out of your life for ignoring the help you offered. Now he's in rehab and you don't feel much like re-engaging. Are you being selfish? You're understandably skittish about taking your dog out after he was attacked and severely injured by a bigger, unleashed dog. How can you reintroduce him to socializing, get the irresponsible owner to cover vet expenses, and prevent this from happening in the future? Is working for your significant other's brother's business -- even though you're not really qualified yet -- an opportunity or trouble waiting to happen? There are many issues at stake here, not the least of which is: what happens if you break up? Are cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies still relevant in 2019?

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into why a lot of self-help makes you feel miserable by design and what you can do to improve yourself without being suckered by hucksters or succumbing to an existential meltdown. What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: Why so-called "self-help" often makes you feel worse about yourself than before you sought it. How to separate actionable self-help from motivational "hustle porn" designed to prompt emotions and elicit sales. Why those inspirational bromides you’re seeing all over Instagram might goad you into short-term action, but won't do much for you over the long haul. Striving to improve yourself is admirable and encouraged -- just don't get suckered into the myth that there's a finish line. How to consume genuine self-help without being miserable while avoiding the big business con-artistry that pervades this space. And much more...

How Henry David Thoreau's analog lessons from Walden can be applied to your 21st century digital lifestyle.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: How can you prove that your teacher is name-grading essays without cheating on the paper? You're a veteran looking to transition back to civilian life. Here are some resources that might help (many thanks to your fellow veteran Zach Criswell for this info). When the big change you really need is a job opportunity at another company, is it unfair not to give your current employer a chance to negotiate with you to stay put? You're worried your significant other might have gotten wrapped up in an expensive self-help cult. What might you say to bring them gently back to Earth without wasting even more time and money? How do you find a lawyer who will actually get the job you need done and won't break the bank? An important network connection has offered to help you find opportunities as you're transitioning into a new field, but how can you ensure you're not biting off more than you can chew while still learning the ropes without wasting anyone's time? You're a contractor who has worked for a company that has been bought and sold three times in the past three years. How do you present this on your resume so it doesn't look like you've worked for three companies in that time? You're in your fifties and looking to open a franchise, though you don't have direct retail experience. What should you do to minimize risk so you're not burdened with debt in your retirement years should things go south?

He is the founder of Ruhlin Group, and author of Giftology: The Art and Science of Using Gifts to Cut Through the Noise, Increase Referrals, and Strengthen Retention.

Jaron Lanier is an early Internet pioneer, computer scientist, visual artist, musician, and author of Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Teaching your kid how to play chess? Here's a simple way to keep them engaged without crushing their spirits or throwing a single game. When your line of work grants you even a minor level of celebrity, how do you express appreciation when you're recognized without succumbing to awkwardness? How can you work with someone you don't like or respect -- and ensure that you still like and respect yourself in the process? You've been selected to give a graduation speech in front of 2,500 people and want to crush it. What can you do to be as prepared as possible? Someone owns the Web domain you want, but they're not using it. What's the best way to negotiate for it or find a close alternative? When you're in a line of work that doesn't generate repeat customers, what's the best (and least tacky) way to ask for referrals from satisfied past customers? After following the Level One exercises and re-engaging contact with a former mentor, they seem resistant to a catch-up meeting. How might you offer value to make it worthwhile for them? Meeting new people and dating when you have a chronic illness presents numerous challenges, but the biggest might be: when is it appropriate to disclose your condition to a potential relationship partner? Life Pro Tip: Make yourself manually dial some of your more important contacts on occasion so you'll know their numbers if you're ever stuck without your phone.

What We Discuss with Adam Grant: Why you probably don't know yourself as well as you think you do. Why you're prone to believe things about yourself that are patently false. How people closest to you benefit from reinforcing these falsehoods. Why the people who would most benefit from helping you see these falsehoods are the least likely to point them out.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Your new neighbor's loud arguments and wild parties at all hours would be annoying enough if they involved multiple people, but the only person who ever seems to be in attendance is her. Should you be concerned enough to inform management -- or the police? When reconnecting with someone in your network (per our Level One exercises), how can you identify ways to add value to their goals? Long-time listeners would understand a covert contract from the contractor's side of things. But what do you do if you suspect someone has a covert contract out on you? Your newest roommate is a slob who pilfers your food and doesn't clean up after himself. What can you do to put your foot down without causing too much contention? With so much motivational and personal development advice being thrown around these days, how can you tell the difference between genuine self-help and utter bullcrap? Without succumbing to the formulaic elevator pitch, how can you politely introduce yourself and make an impression when you're in convenient proximity to your company's higher-ups and decision makers? How might a public school teacher who loves to teach supplement their painfully inadequate income? What thought exercises might help someone on the edge of burning out at their job decide whether to soldier on for the next few months to qualify for a bonus or just quit now and damn the consequences?

Dave Asprey (@bulletproofexec) is a self-described biohacker, CEO and founder of Bulletproof 360, Inc., host of the Bulletproof Radio podcast, and author of Game Changers, Head Strong, and The Bulletproof Diet. What We Discuss with Dave Asprey: How Bulletproof founder Dave Asprey biohacked himself from a 300-pound heart attack waiting to happen to 9.6 percent body fat. How a prenatal condition, bullying, a thyroid condition, and toxic mold collaborated to bring Dave's health to a point so low even his doctor couldn't help him. What is your immune system's "memory" forgetting, and what role does mitochondria play in how you feel? What does Dave believe are the top two causes of autoimmunity, and what can we do to guard ourselves when our body can't even identify the enemy? Why does Dave put butter in his coffee instead of milk or cream like normal people, and what's the difference between real Bulletproof coffee and what the small-town cafe on the other side of the world is trying to peddle as "Bulletproof" coffee?

If epilepsy keeps you from driving, how can you overcome feeling like a nuisance to your friends and family -- and how do you work around it for potential dates?

How do you calm your mind from acute stress when something happens and you can't stop thinking about it? Some of the hardships you've endured andconquered still embarrass you. How can you own and include them in the story you share with others? Your boss constantly overshares and vents personal issues to you, which is draining and counterproductive.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Advice for someone trying to transition into a new industry after a long time in their current, unrelated one. Your significant other always wants to shut the party down when all you want to do is go home where it's cozy and quiet. But is there a not-so-nefarious reason you haven't considered? You're paying down a massive college debt you incurred by preparing for a career you don't really like. How can you transit to another field that better suits you without going broke? Even though you're young and in an ideal relationship that already seems headed toward marriage, should an unexpected pregnancy hasten the occasion? When the coping mechanisms you use to help alleviate the burnout of your well-paying, long-term job are not keeping pace with the added stressors of that job, how do you test the waters of alternatives before it's too late? What's the real reason you can't seem to land a promotion at the company where you've worked forever? How do you best ensure an introduction between two mutually beneficial connections in your network doesn't get botched once it's out of your hands and in theirs?

Why doing what you're good at isn't always a match for what makes you feel good. How honest vulnerability (not dinner party oversharing) helps you gain insight into what makes you tick and gives your life meaning.

What We Discuss with Jason Khalipa: You don't have to start out with "The Right Stuff" to accomplish great things. Is your confidence earned or perceived?

Can you take a joke and use it to make your life better? Jason Khalipa has -- and he can tell you how. And much more...

Kai-Fu Lee (@kaifulee) is a venture capitalist, technology executive, and author of AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order. What We Discuss with Kai-Fu Lee: Why the advent of AI is as important as the Industrial Revolution. The AI Superpowers that are competing to shape the nature of our future. How soon we can expect artificial intelligence (AI) to drastically disrupt the jobs we take for granted today. What can humans do to prepare for a future where their livelihoods might be taken over completely by AI? Should we fear what we're losing in such a future, or embrace the opportunities we're gaining?

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us to deep dive into the elusive subject of purpose -- why you’re not finding it as easily as the so-called experts say you should be, and why you should be following meaning to purpose instead of picking a purpose and hoping it’s full of meaning. [Featured image by Smart] What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: The difference between purpose and meaning. Why reverse-engineering meaning from purpose is harder (and far less effective) than finding purpose through meaning. What an ER nurse taught Gabriel about the surprising ways meaning can manifest. Why you should be suspicious of what The Cult of Purpose is trying to sell you. The best ways to naturally follow meaning to purpose without forcing an expectation of what that purpose is.

Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason DeFillippo (@jpdef) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! Friend of the show and Entrepreneur on Fire John Lee Dumas (@johnleedumas) joins us to help a listener begin anew in a new city. If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: If there's such a thing as remorseful flirtation, how should you feel to be on the receiving end of it? As old-timers who have already been there and done that, how do we recommend you live your twenties to their fullest? The management at your current job barely acknowledges you and it's time to move on. Is it appropriate in this case to give notice by email? Will setting boundaries for your narcissistic sibling have any positive effect on your relationship, or should you just cut them off altogether? What's the best way to bid a fair-weather friend adieu after they've made it clear that visiting you on your almost-deathbed was a real inconvenience? Even though you bounced back from your layoff with a huge pay increase and promotion potential galore, you miss your old team and want to stay on good terms. How do you speed up the healing process to make this possible? When you have a lifelong habit of rejecting people before they reject you -- to the point that you've never dated and you don't have any close friends -- what can you do to become more approachable? When moving to a foreign city to reboot your personal and professional life, what's the best way to put down roots, make new connections, and get your brand noticed?

Spencer Greenberg (@SpencrGreenberg) is a mathematician, entrepreneur, and founder of Clearer Thinking, a website that trains people to overcome their own biases and make better decisions rationally. What We Discuss with Spencer Greenberg: Common logical fallacies and concepts like black and white thinking, cherry picking, straw man arguments, and the typical mind fallacy. How these logical fallacies can be so powerfully persuasive even in the face of contrary evidence, and why they inhibit our thinking and keep us from getting closer to the truth. How to spot cognitive bias in ourselves and others -- and in the sources we choose to inform us about the outside world. How we can improve our critical thinking, cut through these faulty arguments and biases, and separate fact from fiction with logic over emotion. Practical tools that allow us to cultivate clearer thinking for these often cloudy times. And much more...
