Summary
Your 105-year-old aunt has vanished into the elder care system while a relative keeps her whereabouts a secret. Can you find her? It's Feedback Friday!
And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) 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 friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now let's dive in!
On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- Your 105-year-old great-aunt Giulia has vanished after her son (your point of contact) passed away. His daughter refuses to tell anyone where she placed Giulia and won't respond to your family's desperate attempts to connect. To what lengths should you go to find an elderly relative who might not even know you're looking for her? [Thanks to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us answer this one!]
- Your cousin's ex-wife unexpectedly reached out to "apologize" about your childhood molestation by her ex-husband (your cousin). While you've worked hard to heal through therapy and build a wonderful life, her message feels oddly timed and potentially self-serving. How do you respond to someone dredging up painful memories for unclear motives?
- You work at a credit union where your micromanaging boss is actively preventing your career advancement. She's furious you applied for an internal position without her permission and seems determined to keep you under her control despite your excellent performance. How do you maneuver your way through corporate politics when your superior is playing a power game?
- Your older brother has autism and still lives with your parents at 27. They've provided minimal support for his independence, and your mother has been emotionally pressuring you since you were 16 to take full responsibility for him when they can't anymore. How do you balance caring for your brother while prioritizing your own new family?
- Recommendation of the Week: Crystal "rock" deodorant
- Your roofing company fired you right before paying your five-figure commission and claimed you had no employment contract (and therefore no non-compete clause). What happens when you decide to call all your clients, explain the situation, and bring them to your former employer's biggest competitor?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback |
| 0:08.9 | Friday producer, the Molcahete helping me mix together this tableside guacamole of life drama, Gabriel |
| 0:15.4 | Mizrahi. That's the mortar and pestle. Yeah, it's like that weird volcanic ash bowl that has |
| 0:20.8 | three little legs on it. Yeah. That's hilarious. And the servers at the restaurants always make |
| 0:24.8 | such a production out of it, don't they do? Oh, wow, you put the onions in there. I see you. Can we speed |
| 0:29.7 | this up a bit? I'm hungry. The chips have been on the table for like five? Yeah. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's |
| 0:38.5 | most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to |
| 0:42.3 | impact your own life and those around you. |
| 0:44.7 | Our mission is to help you become a better-informed, more critical thinker. |
| 0:48.2 | During the week, we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks |
| 0:51.5 | from rocket scientists and CEOs, neuroscientists, war correspondents, |
| 0:55.4 | and astronauts. This week we had my friend David Eagleman back on the show. Such an interesting |
| 1:00.5 | guy. We talked about whether or not we'll be able to upload our consciousness, our brains, |
| 1:04.8 | to the internet, if we might create MRI technology that could read minds a whole lot more. |
| 1:09.8 | We're always kind of all over the place. |
| 1:11.2 | I'm just really interested in the brain. He is one of the world's foremost experts on the brain. |
| 1:15.7 | So these are always super fun conversations. You really don't want to miss this one if you're |
| 1:19.3 | into neuroscience, futurism, from a grounded perspective. And he's just such a great |
| 1:24.4 | explainer of things you can't miss with this episode. We also had a |
| 1:27.9 | skeptical Sunday on Feng Shui. You know, that furniture arranging thing that's supposed to be |
| 1:32.5 | science, but is really just kind of ancient Chinese interior designed. On Fridays, though, |
| 1:37.0 | we share stories, take listener letters, offer advice, and revisit weird and nostalgic memories |
