Summary
Your hiking group's newest member has killer calves and concerning ideologies. Should you hit the trail or fight for higher ground? Welcome to 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 friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now let's dive in!
On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- You joined a hiking group after your divorce to focus on personal growth and make new friends. Everything was going great until a charismatic, physically impressive guy showed up spouting fascist ideologies and making disturbing comments about weaponizing drones. The worst part? Everyone else seems captivated by him. What's your next move when you're the only one seeing red flags?
- Living 14 hours from family in a foreign country, you're struggling with your husband's ongoing pattern of deception, from emotional affairs to secret drinking while on antidepressants. With a six-year-old daughter and limited professional options, you're torn between love, fear, and dignity. How do you find your way through this maze of betrayal when you have no support system?
- You're a single woman implementing networking strategies in the conservative South, but there's an unexpected cultural hurdle: people find it "suspicious" when unmarried women contact married men professionally. How do you build crucial business relationships without triggering social landmines?
- Something's fishy in your California condo complex: managers seemingly getting paid under the table, maintenance staff double-dipping, and board members possibly involved in the scheme. You suspect corruption but fear retaliation. How do you expose potential fraud without becoming a target?
- Recommendation of the Week: Blue-Light-Blocking Book Light
- Your adventurous friend just booked a trip to Afghanistan, brushing off your concerns about the risks to foreign women travelers. Despite your attempts to share information about the dangers, she won't even listen to relevant podcast episodes. How do you protect someone determined to venture into a geopolitical hornets' nest without proper preparation?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. |
| 0:05.4 | I'm your host, Dr. Jordan Harbinger. |
| 0:08.9 | As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer, |
| 0:11.6 | my co-captain cajoling these complicated conundra, Gabriel Mizrahi. |
| 0:15.9 | Not Dr. Gabriel Mizrahi. |
| 0:18.0 | Just missed her. |
| 0:18.8 | Nope, haven't earned the honorific yet. |
| 0:23.6 | What is this doctor business, dude? Is this because you're a JD? Yeah, a doctor of laws. Anyway. |
| 0:25.6 | On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people |
| 0:29.6 | and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. |
| 0:35.6 | And our mission is to help you become a better |
| 0:37.5 | informed, more critical thinker. During the week, we have long-form conversations with a variety |
| 0:41.5 | of amazing folks, from war correspondents and neuroscientists to journalists-turned poker champions, |
| 0:46.8 | music moguls, and tech luminaries. This week, we had former ATF agent Jay Dobbins, who went undercover in the Hells Angels. So if you like our undercover-ish episodes, |
| 0:55.7 | this is a really good one. It was a two-parter. I already planned to have them back on the show because |
| 0:59.6 | there's a lot there that we didn't even get to. If you liked our Ken Croke episode about |
| 1:03.7 | going undercover in a biker gang, this one is similarly fascinating. On Fridays, though, |
| 1:08.2 | we share stories, take listener letters, offer advice, play the occasional ridiculous soundbite and co-opt absurd catchphrases from past letters. Gabe, you know I was thinking about this morning? |
| 1:17.6 | Hmm, tell me. That time years ago, we ended up on a video chat with that supposedly super successful entrepreneur smart guy who wanted to overthrow the government of North Korea. Yeah, that was a strange one. |
| 1:27.7 | Yeah. |
| 1:28.1 | So a really successful friend of ours, I don't want to give away too much. |
| 1:31.9 | But anyway, he's like, we should talk to this guy. |
