Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason DeFillippo (@jpdef) banter every week and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday! 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 deal with constant negativity when you're surrounded by it almost 24/7? How do you keep yourself up to date with real-world issues, remove the noise or work around it, and decide what to focus on and when? Is there body language that can counteract your naturally intimidating appearance? How can you offer to correct someone's grammar without being offensive? Is there anything wrong with maintaining distance when you've fallen out of touch with some of the people in your network? Is it possible they became "weak and dormant ties" for a reason? If you don't have a degree, how can you market yourself in a way that will bypass the resume gatekeeper and at least get an interview? How do you make it clear to your friend that texting and driving endangers lives? As haggard old-timers, what is the number one thing we wish young people understood today? Moving from a small town to the big city and networking in an industry can be a huge adjustment. What tips do we have for making the transition?

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: After completing a rewarding internship at an office in your field, what's the best way to maintain the valuable connections you made there? How can you become an influential face in your community and inspire others who share your life-threatening adrenal deficiency when you're always second-guessing yourself into awkwardness in social situations? Avoiding that toxic person in or near your social circle is great advice -- but what if you're getting the sinking feeling that toxic person is you? Do you have to go to law school to prove you're smart and live up to the expectations of others when you already love your so-called side hustle that more than pays the bills? As a gay person of color living in Rwanda where homosexuality is highly stigmatized, are you naive to think you'd be more free to live your lifestyle openly by immigrating to Canada or the U.S. and starting over? When an executive at the company where you've been doing contract work is keeping you in the dark about the status of an offer to hire you full time, does it do any harm to look for another job in the meantime? Is there really a need to rush home to the other side of the world at the request of family and friends when you love where you're living and working abroad? An estranged parent you've never met may die soon. Should you take the chance now to meet up before it's too late even though it's never been much of a priority in your life?

Vince Beiser (@vincelb) is an award-winning journalist specializing in social issues, technology, and the places they intersect. His latest book is The World in a Grain: The Story of Sand and How It Transformed Civilization. What We Discuss with Vince Beiser: Sand is to cities what flour is to bread -- without sand, civilization as we know it could not exist. Sand is at the core of our daily lives, used to make concrete, glass, asphalt, silicon chips in laptops, and smartphones. Usable sand is a finite, endangered resource and desert sand doesn't work for construction -- in fact, Dubai imports sand from Australia. There's a black market for sand, and there are sand pirates -- it's a resource over which people literally die. Nearly 70% of sand on Earth is quartz (one of the most common minerals on earth), and the cycle to create new sand takes 200 million years. And much more...

What We Discuss with Jane McGonigal: Discover how suffering from suicidal ideation after a concussion led Jane McGonigal to design games to help people overcome depression and recover from trauma. Find out what games can teach us about critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and our ability to collaborate. Explore the ways a "gameful" mindset can boost our motivation, confidence, and ability to pick up new skills in the face of obstacles.

Identify how developing psychological flexibility can help you conquer phobias, recover from injuries, and achieve what you once thought impossible. And much more... Like this show?

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 hard should you push your spouse toward a life-changing decision that seems obvious to you as the right one? How do you avoid becoming your old boss' free financial advisor just because you happened to give him some good investing advice once? How far does loyalty go toward a friend from whom you've grown apart? How should you evaluate LinkedIn connection requests? Are you being too narrow by only limiting connections to people you've met in the real world? Should you stay put in your high-stress job in your high-stress city because it encapsulates everything familiar, or should you move your family to a place where work-life balance is actually a thing but you'd be starting all over again? How many sides are there really to a love triangle when one doesn't want anything to do with the other two? Should you keep working for a boss who thinks you're wonderful one day and the next wants to fire you? You've got a better job offer and it's time to leave notice with your covert narcissist of an employer. But why's it so hard to break up with such a bad situation?

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into vulnerability -- what it really is, why it can't be faked, and how to spot it in ourselves and others to make real connections while avoiding manipulation by those who don't always have our best interests at heart. What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: How to resist the pervasive Cult of Vulnerability that exists even in the most well-meaning of circles today. Why vulnerability doesn't respond to exercises, requests, or expectations, no matter how hard you try. What happens when you try to force vulnerability -- from yourself or someone else. How to tell the difference between authentic and strategic vulnerability. When being vulnerable is appropriate and when it isn't -- and how to ensure we're calibrating it accordingly.

Jocko Willink (@jockowillink) rejoins us to discuss his latest book, The Dichotomy of Leadership: Balancing the Challenges of Extreme Ownership to Lead and Win. What We Discuss with Jocko Willink: What happens when we take the "extreme" part of extreme ownership too literally. Why otherwise positive characteristics can be detrimental to progress when we forget the importance of balance. When to take responsibility, and what the limits of this actually are. Why we should stop being the easy button for those we manage and lead. The concept of leadership capital: how to build it, when to use it, and when not to use it. And much more...

He is the co-author of The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure.

How the concepts of safe spaces and trigger warnings are making our society less safe and less prepared for the real world. What we should be doing instead to prepare ourselves and our kids for reality. Cognitive distortions and how we become victims of our own flawed mindsets. The three fundamental untruths being perpetuated by academia and the media and how we can fight these influences. And much more...

How can you ease the overwhelming loneliness of being on your own for the first time when you're anxious and miss your old life -- especially when the job that moved you to the big city just isn't as interesting as it used to be? Can a man from a blue collar background and a woman who grew up used to the finer things in life build a life together that allows him to feel like a provider without disappointing her expectations? When you're the youngest in a family business that isn't doing so well, how can you tell the other partners -- who once were your mentors and idols -- to level up their mindset and work ethics or else everything will crash and burn? Or is it just time for the family business to crash and burn? What should you do about this habit you have of talking over people? How can you promote yourself without, in weatherman parlance, sending the eye-rolling barometers into the storm zone?

General Michael Hayden (@GenMhayden) is a retired United States Air Force general, former Director of the CIA and NSA, and author of The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies. What We Discuss with General Michael Hayden: Why the current administration revoking security clearance of dissenting intelligence leadership is a big deal -- and why General Hayden believes it sets a precedent that threatens national security. The phenomenon of the unpleasant fact knows no political allegiance. Why it's imperative that we know how to tell uncomfortable truths in any field -- whether we're intelligence agents, business owners, or team members. How intelligence agents and operators at the highest levels of power in government create and maintain relationships and handle sensitive conflicts. An inside look at the game of espionage and why it's a crucial force for those of us who live in a democracy. And much more...

As a parent of young adults who carry the scars of trauma from your imperfect marriage to their other parent, how can you help them move through their current challenges?

What We Discuss with Charles Ryu: A glimpse of the rampant corruption ruling the daily lives of average North Koreans. Being homeless anywhere at any age is terrible. But what's it like being a homeless preteen in North Korea during the winter? How Charles escaped from North Korea to China as a young teenager and what he got a taste of for the first time ever. What led to Charles being jailed in China, deported back to North Korea, and sent to a forced labor camp for nine months. How working in a coal mine for a paycheck of rice was a step up for Charles, even though he had to lie about his age to get the job. And much more...

Vanessa Van Edwards (@vvanedwards) rejoins us to further discuss components of nonverbal communication. She is the lead investigator at human behavior research lab Science of People and author of Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People. What We Discuss with Vanessa Van Edwards: What Albert Mehrabian's commonly misinterpreted 7-38-55 Rule of Personal Communication is -- and isn't -- telling us about nonverbal communication. The components of nonverbal communication including body language, facial expressions, and vocal tone, along with ornaments, proxemics, and haptics. The dangers of focusing so fully on expressing yourself with one component of communication that you neglect the others. The two metrics of essential nonverbal communication: confidence and engagement. Power posing and movement, and how to use our hands and eyes to engage. And much more...

Make sure to check out parts one and two! What We Discuss with Alex Kouts: Why the post-mortem of the way a negotiation plays out rarely finds tactics to be responsible for the outcome -- and what actually is. What we should remember about the human beings on the other side of the negotiation table in relation to our own ability to leverage a desirable outcome. The toolbox of tactics that opens up to us when we can put ourselves in the shoes of the people with whom we're negotiating rather than focusing on our own emotions. Questions we can ask someone on the other side of the table to understand who we're dealing with, what motivates them, and put them in a position to react to us rather than the other way around. How to better look outward rather than inward when under the stress of a negotiation in progress. And much more... Like this show? Please leave us a review here -- even one sentence helps!

What We Discuss with Allen Gannett: Creativity isn't innate to a lucky few geniuses; it's a quality that anyone can learn to develop. Why many stories about so-called geniuses are embellished to sell an inaccurate idea of what creativity is and where this quality comes from. What various fields of study have known -- for years -- about the relationship between intelligence and creativity and how this is at odds with popular belief. Steps that show us how we can cultivate the right qualities and environment so that episodes of creative genius are more likely to strike us when we need it. The four laws of the creative curve that, if followed, will endow anyone with creative prowess. And much more... Like this show? Please leave us a review here -- even one sentence helps!

Guy Winch (@GuyWinch) is a licensed psychologist, leading advocate for integrating the science of emotional health into our daily lives, workplaces, and education systems, and author of How to Fix a Broken Heart. What We Discuss with Guy Winch: While our physical body works overtime to heal itself when injured, our mind counterintuitively works against healing the wounds of emotional trauma. Guy explains why this happens and why it's imperative to intervene. The insidious lengths to which the mind will go to keep us perpetually experiencing pain and how we can take back control from our default autopilot. We can't passively count on time to heal all wounds. We need to take a more active role in our recovery from an emotional wound. If you shame someone who is coping with the death of a pet or otherwise lack the ability to empathize with their pain, you might be kind of a monster. Getting comfortable asking for help when we're recovering from emotional trauma helps others understand that it's okay for them to ask for help as well. And much more... Like this show?

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: How do you continue to have a relationship with a family member in which you can focus more on positive things you have in common rather than what he or she is stressed or anxious about? Feedback Friday 18 is episode number 26, and here's a listener's follow-up to a discussion we had there. How do you reframe a job -- that's got amazing perks but doesn't challenge you -- and change your mindset so you don't get stuck in a rut? Addiction to anything is a struggle -- even if it's "just" video games and pot. But how can you kick your addictions when you're burned out on real life and don't really know how to relate to other people? Should you go for your dream job even if it forces you to move thousands of miles away from your significant other? Qualified relationship expert Duana Welch tags in to dispense good advice to someone looking to get out of a red flag, jealousy-driven, abusive relationship. If thinking about using social media gives you anxiety and you experienced a sense of great relief when you deactivated your Facebook account, do you even need social media to make friends in the 21st century? When making conversation, you tend to ramble and blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. How can you cut back on the awkwardness?

Daniel Pink (@DanielPink) is the author of New York Times Best Seller When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, which examines the psychology, biology, and economics behind scheduling for optimal effect -- and why your ideal time to get something done may widely differ from someone else's. What We Discuss with Daniel Pink: Timing is everything -- but we're only now beginning to connect the dots between fields of research to discover the science behind how timing actually works. How humans are wired for time by chronotypes, how to identify our own particular chronotype, and what we can do to match our schedules to this chronotype. What the trough is, how it differs according to chronotype, and how it affects the decisions we make -- for better or worse. How observing the nappuccino and other restorative breaks during the day can minimize the worst effects of the trough. Why lunch is really the most important meal of the day. And much more...

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Hollywood: gross as it ever was! Do you ever feel threatened or outright disgusted when you think of your significant other's "colorful" dating history? If you've got a cleavage-staring problem, you might benefit from the eye color drill and this listener's feedback. Does crowdsourcing the work of creative professionals devalue their time? How do you express empathy and support for someone who never follows your advice -- even though the consequences usually prove such advice is consistently sound? You can't force old friends you care about to make positive changes in their lives, but do you have to put up with them if they're unrepentantly insufferable? How do busy people find time to relax? Why on Earth would you get into a workplace relationship? How do you do Internet research on people you'd like to meet without feeling like a stalker?

He's also the author of T Is for Transformation: Unleash the 7 Superpowers to Help You Dig Deeper, Feel Stronger, and Live Your Best Life.

What Shaun uncovered about his own patterns of behavior by going to therapy. Looking at our life as a series of turning points, and how we can use those turning points to continue moving forward. Using our anger to motivate us instead of hold us down. Why we often keep ourselves down so others around us won't get angry or jealous. And much more...

What We Discuss with Todd Kashdan: Why trying to be positive and happy all the time may be harming your ability to get things done and achieve the results you want. How what you may think of as negative emotions -- like anger -- can be useful superpowers with the proper awareness and application. The problem with living in a time and place when distraction from discomfort comes in an easier and greater variety than ever before. Why every decision you make now is based on how you expect to feel in the future -- and you probably underestimate your ability to tolerate distress. How you can use the discomfort caveat to ease out of the "put on a happy face" rut around others. And much more...

Jordan (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason (@jpdef) are joined by Marni Kinrys (@winggirlmethod) for this round of Feedback Friday! 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 there a psychological issue at play if you can't help but look at a woman's cleavage in conversation? Is there a way to change this habit? Though you used to be outgoing and oblivious to what people thought of you, you've found yourself more shy and reserved in social situations lately. How can you get back to your normal stride? Here's one quick way to determine if trying to win back your "just a friend" ex is the right call for you. If you feel like you only have time to meet new people on Tinder, do you have time to invest in a serious relationship? How young is too young to move in with a significant other? How can a female athlete who's stuck in her social circle as "one of the guys" break out of the dreaded friend zone? What can you do to make it clear that you're non-sexual before you throw up when your best friend kisses you on the lips? The label of being "in a relationship" isn't all that high pressure -- you either are or you're not. So is your friend with benefits just keeping you around as an option? Recommendation of the Week: Gaga: Five Foot Two Quick shoutouts to Jimmy and Sam! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at [email protected]!

Jason Flom (@itsjasonflom) is the founder and CEO of Lava Records responsible for launching acts such as Katy Perry, Kid Rock, and Lorde, a philanthropist who has supported and championed various political and social causes, the host of podcast Wrongful Conviction with Jason Flom, and the co-author of Lulu Is a Rhinoceros. What We Discuss with Jason Flom: Why Jason has always rooted for the underdog -- from bullied siblings to sports teams to endangered species to the wrongfully incarcerated -- and how he's passed this sensibility along to the next generation of Floms. How one stays relevant in the entertainment industry, which is always asking: "What have you done for me lately?" The role relationships play at the top of the music game -- one of the most competitive industries on the planet. What we can learn from the wrongfully convicted, and why many of us are -- for the grace of good fortune -- just a hair away from a similar fate. Why Jason's bulldog is actually a rhinoceros and what he hopes this lesson will teach us about tolerance. And much more...

How do you end a mismatched relationship for good and make the other person understand your reasons? Is there a reason not to testify anonymously in a big case if you have the option?
