The Jordan Harbinger Show

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! 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? Recommendation of the Week: FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened A quick shoutout to Heike Dunkel from Germany! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

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?

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.

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: 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?

Jason Khalipa (@JasonKhalipa) is a CrossFit Games world champion, the founder of NCFIT, and author of As Many Reps As Possible. 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?

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.

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...

How to spot the narcissists and predators in your midst before they spot you as a clueless opportunity. What to do if you find you're already being wrapped up in the deceitful webs of these dangerous personalities and how to disentangle yourself from them. Why you often let misguided social programming override your natural instincts to sniff out the bad behavior of people in your life and how to tune into those instincts again. The best first step in arming yourself against the actions of predators and narcissists in your life -- whether they're bully bosses or abusive spouses. And much more...

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 address a common concern of a lot of people have about leaving behind a miserable corporate job to pursue entrepreneurial ambitions. 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're at a new job and they've already pegged you as the "quiet" one. But what do they really mean? How do you find a tribe of like-minded, growth-oriented people who don't seem like they're part of some motivational cult? After so many "we should hang outs" without follow-ups, should you just accept that a best friend isn't in the cards for you at this point? With a full-time job, supportive girlfriend, and research papers taking up most of your time, how and where can you find opportunities to grow your skill set? You're young, successful, and ready for a relationship -- but you can't seem to find anyone whose drive goes beyond Netflix and work. Where should you be looking? You're good at chatting when given interesting subjects to talk about, but have no skills in coming up with those subjects. How do you create meaningful conversations from scratch? You've got a great job and a comfortable lifestyle, but you regret never finishing college or following your intended career path. Are you a fool to go back to school? Even though you know the entrepreneurial life is right for you, how do you politely convey to your well-meaning but kind of clueless friends that you're not looking for another corporate job?

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: Are once-friendly people really avoiding you for some unknown reason, or is their perceived lack of interaction largely in your own socially anxious head? When you're young and in long-distance love but also looking for a new career path, should you follow your heart and move closer to your sweetheart or follow your head and pursue local educational opportunities in your chosen field? What's the most graceful way to turn down a retention bonus without sending a signal to the company you are looking for another job? You're newly single and going to yoga classes. You want to ask out someone who seems to be expressing interest in you, but you also want to respect the yoga space and not tarnish your ongoing practice at this studio. What's the right next move? You've recently been made privy to sensitive information about your clients from a well-meaning but careless business contact. How do you make this contact understand -- without being ungrateful for their effort -- that such information in the hands of someone less ethical could jeopardize their career and the integrity of your organization? Your boss treats you as a liability rather than an asset thanks to fabricated and unsubstantiated accusations made against you in the past, but rumor has it this person is leaving in a few months. Is it worth your time to get this person to see your value, or should you just stay under the radar until the (fingers crossed) new boss arrives on the scene? Your morale is low at your current company, and in spite of skill stacking to position yourself uniquely in any number of other companies, you can't seem to land an interview elsewhere. Is it time to scratch that entrepreneurial itch you've been feeling with at least an honest foray into the side hustle? What can you do to mend the divide between you and someone with whom you shared a relationship when you empathize with why that person isn't exactly the president of your fan club? Recommendation of the Week: The Final Table Quick shoutout to Dr. Brad Block of the Physician's Guide to Doctoring podcast! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

Srini Rao (@unmistakableceo) is the host and founder of the Unmistakable Creative podcast and author of An Audience of One: Reclaiming Creativity for Its Own Sake. What We Discuss with Srini Rao: How an ADHD diagnosis in his mid-twenties and the inability to hold down a real job forced Srini to develop his own tools and systems for harnessing creativity and boosting production. Why expressing your creativity on a regular basis -- even when it's done without the intention of reaching an audience or being commercially successful -- can be incredibly beneficial to every area of your life. Research shows that being creative can actually make you happier, help you recover from trauma, and increase your productivity. How you can cultivate your own creativity even if you're the type of person who thinks you don't have any to begin with. Why you don't have to be a creative genius or successful artist to take advantage of the creativity-happiness connection. And much more...

Chris "Drama" Pfaff (@dramadrama) is a former reality TV personality, host of the Short Story Long Podcast, and founder of streetwear clothing line Young and Reckless. What We Discuss with Chris Pfaff: Why Chris decided to take his skateboard from suburban Akron -- where escaped cows made the evening news -- to Los Angeles, where high-speed car chases barely raise eyebrows. What it's taken so far for Chris to make it in today's cutthroat fashion business climate -- especially when he has to work twice as hard to overcome what others expect from his "dumb" reality TV persona. How to stay tenacious -- like someone raised in the Midwest -- when you fail over and over again. Why sometimes running a business -- even something as fun and exciting as a top-level streetwear brand -- can be more of a curse than a blessing. How Chris feels about regretting something he has done versus regretting something he hasn't done. And much more... Sport Clips is like no other place you've ever gotten your hair cut.

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: When is a cheater no longer a cheater, and when is an addict no longer an addict? If you're going for quality connections over quantity, is meeting four people in two hours at a networking event reasonable? How do you set boundaries when a family member on hard times has overstayed their welcome in your home? Who'd have thought the parents at your kid's new school are more cliquish than their offspring? What can you do to win them over -- or should you? Because you didn't just wait until you were thirsty to dig the well -- you ate a spoonful of salt, too -- how can you recover from job instability when it already seems too late? If you're employed in a full time but unfulfilling job purely for the cash, when is it time to take your side hustle more seriously? Being the trustee of a family trust is hard enough without someone in your own family negotiating like a jerk for more than their fair share. So what would make the situation easier?

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into identifying and overcoming imposter syndrome -- the sinking feeling that your accolades are unearned, your successes are undeserved, and you'll be discovered for the fraud you (think you) are at any moment by somebody -- anybody -- more qualified than you (which only seems to be everybody)! [Photo by Steve Lundqvist] What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: Why you're not alone in feeling pangs of imposter syndrome (or imposter experience or imposter phenomenon, depending on who you ask) -- it strikes nearly everyone (even elite athletes and military special forces) from time to time. How to tell the difference between true fraudulence and imposter syndrome -- and act accordingly. The three behaviors that should help you avoid feeling imposter syndrome but counterintuitively tend to reinforce it. The two common beliefs that invite imposter syndrome to visit most frequently. What you can learn from incidents of imposter syndrome to grow more resistant to its eerily convincing distortions of reality. And much more...

Dr. Matthew Walker (@sleepdiplomat) is Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California in Berkeley, founder and director of the Center for Human Sleep Science, and author of Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams. "The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life." -Dr. Matthew Walker What We Discuss with Matthew Walker: Why you're not lazy if you don't happen to be a morning person (it's genetic). What it means when you always seem to wake up right before your alarm. What's going on in your dreams (lucid or otherwise) and what can you learn from them? How to train yourself to go to sleep at the time that's ideal for you. Mistakes you're making that keep you from getting optimal results at bedtime. 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: Your brother in law is a narcissist with a bad case of PLOM (Poor Little Old Me) Disease and is clearly in the mindset to cheat on your sister -- if he hasn't already. Is it your place to warn her even though it'll devastate the family? Is it your fault that you -- and the rest of your coworkers -- are always disappointing your boss because you never seem to be able to read her mind and discern her intentions? Using the networking skills we teach in Six-Minute Networking, how do you actively develop new contacts? When your current job was able to accommodate your needs in order to retain you, you had to renege on another job offer you had already accepted. How do you reach out to make peace and mend a bridge you never intended to burn? When you have an estranged parent who has only lied to you and disappointed you over the course of your entire life, how should you take their disclosure of a personal tragedy? After graduation, you'll have three months until you start your full-time job. Should you use the money you've saved up through college to travel for those three months, or should you use it to pay your student loans? You work in an office full of people who share political views that widely differ from your own. Should you put up with it quietly, offer your counterpoints, just pretend to agree with them to avoid friction, or look for a new job entirely? When you live in a country overrun by state-driven propaganda, what's the best way to stay informed of real current events so you can critically weigh the evidence and formulate your own views?

Kristen Carney (@KristenCarney) is a comedian, writer, host of the Mentally Ch(ill) and Ask Women podcasts, and someone who publicly copes with -- as many silently do -- depression. What We Discuss with Kristen Carney: Understand why someone who seems to have it all on the outside might really be dying on the inside. Deal with the aftermath when someone close takes their own life -- even when part of you empathizes with their reasons. Be your own champion: reach out to your family and friends who support you through the highs and lows before you're at your wit's end. How the Internet has exacerbated suicidal tendencies since the '90s. Why comparing our blooper reel to the highlight reel of others will always lead to our downfall. And much more...

David Buss (@ProfDavidBuss) is considered the world's leading scientific expert on the evolutionary psychology of human mating strategies. He is the author of several books on the subject, most recently The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating. What We Discuss with David Buss: How dating apps work and what they're doing to our brains. Mate-switching strategies: why affairs happen and the mechanisms at play. How we can track our own mate value to keep our relationships strong and secure. Why mating strategies tend to be universal even if their cultural variations seem to suggest otherwise. Why a vacation with your partner is a good stress-test for seeing what might be in store for your future together. 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 partaking of a small amount of marijuana in the evening akin to relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day, or are you just lying to yourself in order to justify an unhealthy addiction? Also: is it worth the risk if it's not legal in your area? How do you become essential to a fast-growing company that has so much to offer your career among a peer group with a competitive but respectful corporate spirit? How do you navigate the chain of command without stepping on toes when you know your boss' boss is more competent than your boss and prefer to work with her when something needs to be done? You're naturally shy and don't have much contact with your old friends these days. How do you work up the courage to go out and meet people who have the potential to be your new friends? You've graduated from high school and now you're in a gap year before you go to college. You've been offered a management position at your current job, but it would further delay your college plans. Should you take the opportunity for promotion, or stick with your plan to start school next year? Are you crazy for wanting to transition away from a well-paying job with great benefits toward a sustainable digital nomad lifestyle -- especially when you and your wife are planning to raise a family? Is the idea of going back to college your solution for being unable to cope with the stress of your challenging job, or are you just not adjusting to being the low person on the totem pole?

Freeway Rick Ross (@FreewayRicky) managed a billion-dollar drug empire in the age of Iran-Contra, now helps rebuild at-risk communities, and is featured in the Emmy-nominated documentary Freeway: Crack in the System. What We Discuss with Freeway Rick Ross: How Rick went from a tennis scholarship track in high school to a young adulthood making cocaine appealing and affordable for a growing urban clientele. The escalation of Rick's business model thanks to an immensely helpful Nicaraguan connection during the Reagan administration. Why Rick wished he had more hours a day in prison -- a place where most people are just looking to kill time. The story behind the ex-prison guard rapper who uses Rick's name and why he's legally allowed to do so. How Rick overcame illiteracy later in life and the must-read books he recommends for anyone with (legal) entrepreneurial ambitions. And much more...

Molly Bloom (@immollybloom) is an entrepreneur, speaker, and author of Molly's Game: The True Story of the 26-Year-Old Woman Behind the Most Exclusive, High-Stakes Underground Poker Game in the World. What We Discuss with Molly Bloom: What Molly Bloom learned by running underground poker games for some of the world's wealthiest and well-known. The psychology Molly used to control the games -- and their players. The secrets of generating rapport and trust among those who aren't in the habit of trusting anyone. The strategies Molly utilized to become indispensable to her players. How Molly got involved in the world of poker in spite of unlikely beginnings, and what happened to make her quit it for good.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Did you know we have a YouTube channel? We do, and you can find it here! How do you deal with family members who threw you under the bus for inheritance money and now try to act nice to you like this never happened? What's wrong with asking for advice while simultaneously offering something in return? If you don't like the current trajectory of a conversation, how do you change the subject smoothly? As a recent transplant to your neighborhood, how do you introduce yourself to the new neighbors without being intrusive? How much do you share with your audience when the boundaries for sharing are blurry? When the shadow of your past might have an impact on your future once revealed by old contacts mixing with your new, should you just avoid social media altogether? When change is in the air -- like returning to school after a long hiatus -- how do you embrace the good feelings you have about the change without being heavily distracted by the bad?

Nadya Tolokonnikova (@tolokno) is one of feminist art punk collective Pussy Riot's most visible members, and she's the author of Read & Riot: A Pussy Riot Guide to Activism. What We Discuss with Nadya Tolokonnikova: The roots of Nadya's distrust of authority -- and why she became a headstrong activist against it at an age when many Americans are only beginning to discover themselves. What Pussy Riot's protest art aims to accomplish by openly defying such authority. What life in a Russian prison labor camp is really like and how Nadya and her bandmates survived their sentence for "hooliganism" there. How today's young people are making contributions to their communities in ways undreamt of just a generation ago (and often pulling bigger paychecks than their parents). The potential perils of shoplifting to survive for eight years and creating DIY music in a corrupt police state without a stunt double. And much more... Does your business have an Internet presence?

Robert Greene (@RobertGreene) is the author of five New York Times Best Sellers. His highly anticipated sixth book, The Laws of Human Nature, is out now. What We Discuss with Robert Greene: Why you can't monumentally improve your life by modifying your behavior if you don't understand what causes such behavior. Why it's liberating to understand that the reason other people react to you in whatever way they do has more to do with them and their own baggage than you and yours. How oversimplifying the impression you have of someone robs you of the ability to relate to them beyond a surface level -- and what you can do to change the game. Why your lower nature seems to be the default you'll fall into without effort and what it takes to tap into the potential of your higher nature. The difference between active and passive envy, where envy comes from, why it's so often destructive, and how you can flip envy to your benefit. 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: The idea of having children with your partner out of wedlock might not matter to society as much as it used to, but it might matter more to your partner than is apparent. You don't always need to see your doctor waving a huge red flag in order to seek a second opinion, but here's a great example of one if you're wondering what such a red flag might look like. Even though the relationship you've had with your high school sweetheart for nearly 10 years is strong, you can't help but wonder if your partner's desire to explore and experience other people would break you up for good or bring you closer in the long run. During childhood, your spouse was sexually abused by a family member. Not everyone in the family knows this, and now that family member will be present at future holidays and gatherings. If your spouse doesn't want to speak up, what can you do? Getting from the beginning to the end of a personal anecdote can be a struggle when you don't feel like you've mastered the art of storytelling. How do you get better at honing your storytelling chops? You know it's a bad idea to pursue a romance or relationship with someone at the office (especially when you're the boss), but you can't deny there's an attraction between you and someone there. So how do you cool things off before this becomes a real problem? If you're a new teacher -- or someone who frequently needs to speak in front of people -- how do you address the overwhelming feedback that your voice is too quiet? How can you convey remorse about an on-the-job transgression for which you need to atone on a professional level?

Michael Scott Moore (@MichaelSctMoore) is a literary journalist and novelist who wrote about being held hostage by Somali pirates in his latest book, The Desert and the Sea: 977 Days Captive on the Somali Pirate Coast. What We Discuss with Michael Scott Moore: Why high-seas piracy still exists in some of the world's most desperate places. How an outsider -- such as a journalist like Michael Scott Moore -- can be easy prey for pirates abroad even under the "protection" of hired security. The types of people who become pirates and how the devoutly religious among them reconcile their actions with their faith. Why you'll probably never find a restaurant specializing in Somali pirate cuisine. How a hostage remains sane over 977 days in captivity through escape attempts and threat of torture.

Michael McFaul (@McFaul) is a former US ambassador to Russia, a professor of political science at Stanford University, and author of New York Times Best Seller From Cold War to Hot Peace: An American Ambassador in Putin's Russia. What We Discuss with Michael McFaul: What the role of an ambassador in the 21st century entails, how it differs from being a diplomat, and how it changes between administrations. Ambassador McFaul's creative approach to problem-solving when confronted with relentless obstruction by Putin, and how he developed relationships and recruited allies in this hostile environment. How ambassadors, government officials, and spies conduct their business and keep secrets overseas. The exhaustive preparations and precautions that precede a meeting between two world leaders. How to get inside the mind of another culture when doing business cross-culturally so you can be effective when you need to be. 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: Now that you're on track to exercise, eat healthier, and lose weight, how can you help your significant other -- who wants to do the same -- get on track as well? Though you've come a long way in personal improvement over the past few years, you're a late bloomer when it comes to relationships. How can you maintain self-esteem when you keep getting dumped for having stronger feelings than the other person? You've cleaned up your act and walked a straight and narrow path to sobriety after a long period of goofing off. Now you want to expand your career options, but your resume's got some hard-to-explain gaps. What's your best next step? You've been following our Six-Minute Networking steps and now you're at the David Burkus-prescribed re-engagement with weak and dormant ties by text. How do you end the conversation in one of these texts without being awkward? After what seemed like genuine interest from a prospective employer and a promising couple of interviews, it's been radio silence for the past two weeks. Are you being ghosted, or are you reading too much into the lapse in correspondence? We've dispensed plenty of advice on how to deal with the narcissists in your life -- but what if you're coming to the sobering realization that the narcissist in your group might actually be you? Do you need to learn how to better empathize with others, or are you just being hard on yourself? How do you build authority and trust when you're in a position of power at your company, but you're so young that a lot of your subordinates don't seem to take you seriously?

Nilofer Merchant (@nilofer) is one of the world's top-ranked business thinkers, an innovation expert, and the author of The Power of Onlyness: Make Your Wild Ideas Mighty Enough to Dent the World. What We Discuss with Nilofer Merchant: How bias -- from others as well as ourselves -- works to stifle innovation and the spread of good ideas. The process by which ideas are created and spread and how we can exercise our own abilities to make our ideas heard -- even if we're at the bottom of the totem pole. Why we conform to expectations that were largely created decades ago and don't really have a place in the modern workforce. Where "left-field" ideas often originate and why they're often missed. What we can do to make the generation and capture of ideas more inclusive. And much more... Like this show? Please leave us a review here -- even one sentence helps!

General Stanley McChrystal (@StanMcChrystal) is a retired four-star general, founder of McChrystal Group, and co-author of Leaders: Myth and Reality. What We Discuss with General Stanley McChrystal: What General McChrystal learned by reexamining one of his most controversial personal heroes. The counterintuitive ability of leaders who value their own mission over the lives of the people who work for them to attract talent. How writing his memoirs without the aid of a journal -- but the memories of others who were with him throughout his life -- put his own role as a leader into perspective. Why there's no single leadership style that's right for all leaders, and what potential leaders risk by trying to emulate styles that don't suit them. The danger of these three common myths of leadership -- formulaic, attribution, and results -- and how to dispel them. And much more... Like this show?

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! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: How do you know if you're making progress and on track to a better and brighter future if you feel underqualified and inadequate about so much of your life? How can you measure your growth? Sometimes you try so hard to help your loved ones with their issues that you forget to help yourself. Support is close if you know where to find it -- here's where we suggest looking. How do you keep yourself from falling back into old, obsolete patterns of behavior whenever you visit your friends in your old hometown? Aren't you better than that now? You've been on Facebook for 14 years and have never weeded out friends you've only spoken to once in that entire time. Now you're applying to a job and notice one of your obscure connections is VP of the company. Is it tacky to contact them? If you genuinely love networking and meeting new people, you might feel bad about having to turn down lunch with some of them because you just don't have as much time as you used to (especially when they turn into sales pitches in disguise). How do you retreat from these invitations politely? If you're proud of your political activism in college, does it do any harm to bring it up when you're looking for a new job? Should you give up all the guaranteed benefits of your long-term government job to pursue a shaky future in the private sector that could result in more money and reemergence of happiness from that fire and drive you once had, but at a time cost and a possibility of being released or fired and losing those needed benefits for your family? Since returning to your hometown as a successful attorney making the big bucks, one of your friends seems to think you should pay for everything you do together because you make more money.

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into the five keys to being unforgettable — what makes you memorable, common pitfalls that may make you unforgettable for all the wrong reasons, and what you can do to maximize the chance that you’ll be unforgettable for all the right ones. [Photo by EfE] What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: How the competitive edge of authenticity aids in making you unforgettable. Strategic vulnerability versus authentic vulnerability. Why generosity is the backbone of networking and making you stand out from the crowd. What leveraging intrigue does to leave someone curious to know more -- and remember more -- about you. How contrast between you and your surroundings can be a double-edged sword that makes you unforgettable in ways you'd rather not be (and how to better ensure it cuts in the right direction).

James Clear (@JamesClear) believes that you do not rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems. He is the creator of the Habits Academy and author of Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones. What We Discuss with James Clear: How a near-death experience began James' exploration in leveraging tiny habits for giant outcomes. The difference between systems and goals and which one you should commit yourself to if you want results. What bamboo, cancer, and a winning Olympic coach can teach us about little changes that amount to a lot. Why the way you behave depends on the type of person you believe yourself to be -- and what you can do to modify this belief for the better. What it takes to break bad habits while creating good ones without falling into the “fake it ‘til you make it” delusion. And much more... Like this show?

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: If anxiety is a conspiracy theory you tell yourself about yourself, how can you just debunk the hell out of it and get on with your life? Speaking of conspiracy theories, how do you snap your beloved parent out of believing everything seen on YouTube and [pick your biased media outlet of choice here]? Living abroad is massively rewarding, but not usually for the reasons people think. Here are some tips for giving it a real go before giving up if things don't go as expected (and they won't). Should your partner build themselves up to your level if they feel lower in the social value hierarchy, or should you let them take you down a peg or two for the sake of balance? As a new podcaster, are you having trouble with keeping a consistent publishing schedule? Here's why we do what we do and how we keep ourselves on track. Are there any positives to living by the "I told you so" mentality?

Jennifer Dulski (@jdulski) is the Head of Groups and Community at Facebook, former COO of Change.org, and author of Purposeful: Are You a Manager or a Movement Starter? What We Discuss with Jennifer Dulski: While they're both necessary for any organization to succeed in realizing its ambitions, what really separates movement starters from managers? What movement starters from all walks of life have in common and what they do differently that makes them able to achieve incredible results. How businesses and teams can unite for a common purpose -- and why this is not only important, but crucial for moving forward and keeping everyone involved on the same page. How to bridge the gap between idea and impact -- from creating a clear vision for your team as well as persuading decision-makers and even navigating criticism. How you can use influence mapping to recruit others to support your movement. And much more... Like this show? Please leave us a review here -- even one sentence helps!

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: Do the re-engagement scripts we recommend in Six-Minute Networking ever grow stale? Don't people notice when they receive the same lines every year to stay in touch? Is there a way to tame the emotional outbursts you have whenever you receive criticism -- even when it's constructive and warranted? How should you handle that old school friend who always says "yes" to a coffee but never, ever buys you one back? How do you look for another job while still employed when your current job leaves you so depressed, anxious, and emotionally drained? Is it reasonable to suspect that the person who left someone else to be with you might now be cheating on you with someone else? How can you help your star employee stop overextending personal care toward clients when you know she's already stressed out with her own problems that should be addressed? Even though it mathematically makes sense to invest when returns are higher than the interest rate on the debt you're trying to pay off, is it the right move? What can you do to make the most of an awkward intro to someone at the top of your field so you can turn it into a solid new professional connection?

Coss Marte (@CossMarte) is the founder and CEO of ConBody, a NYC-based fitness studio that hires formerly incarcerated individuals to teach fitness classes, and author of ConBody: The Revolutionary Bodyweight Prison Boot Camp, Born from an Extraordinary Story of Hope. What We Discuss with Coss Marte: How a 13-year-old immigrant from the Dominican Republic scaled up a $5 million per year drug business -- the Uber for cocaine. How Stephen King (probably not the one you're thinking of) brought this whole operation down, inadvertently leading to a domino effect of positive change beginning with Coss Marte. The power of mindset and fitness to stay sane and healthy behind bars -- where the odds are stacked overwhelmingly against personal improvement on any level. What Coss and ConBody Fitness are doing to help rehabilitate the incarcerated and break the cycle of recidivism so many fall into. How lessons learned from the illicit drug trade transferred to Coss' legitimate business and helped him build a bridge of understanding between the world's successful and its formerly incarcerated.
