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?
- Tank's Good News of the Week: "Sherlock" Star Benedict Cumberbatch Saves Cyclist from Muggers
- Recommendation of the Week: Jack Ryan
- Quick shoutout to Steve Goddard!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger and I'm here with producer Jason DeFilippo. |
| 0:05.1 | Here on the Jordan Harbinger show we love having conversations with our fascinating guests. |
| 0:09.4 | And this week we had General Stanley McChrystal talking about myths of leadership |
| 0:13.8 | and how we can better deconstruct leaders to take on the characteristics we actually want for ourselves. |
| 0:19.2 | And we had Nilla for Merchant talking about the intersection between power, ideas, and status, |
| 0:24.6 | especially in the workplace and especially with people or groups of people whose ideas might not get |
| 0:29.3 | enough play. So if you missed those shows this week go and check those out General Stanley McChrystal |
| 0:34.0 | and Nilla for Merchant, both recent guests of the Jordan Harbinger show. And of course our primary |
| 0:39.0 | mission is to pass along our guests and our experiences and our insights as well along to you. |
| 0:44.4 | In other words, the real purpose of the show is to have conversations directly with you. And that's |
| 0:49.2 | what we're going to do today here on Feedback Friday. You can reach us at Friday at JordanHarbinger.com. |
| 0:55.2 | If you can keep them shorter or concise is probably a better word. It increases your chance of |
| 0:59.6 | getting your question on the air. So I appreciate that. I'm hanging out in Australia. It has been |
| 1:04.0 | a blast. Of course, I don't really take any time off off unplug. What is that? But I'm glad |
| 1:10.4 | that we're able to keep these going because I know that if we missed a Feedback Friday we'd have |
| 1:14.2 | some people who would be disappointed, Jason. I'd be disappointed as well. This is my favorite show |
| 1:18.2 | over the week. Is it really? Because you get to talk a lot. Is that one? Oh, of course. Yeah. |
| 1:22.5 | I can't always listen to your dulcetones. I got to listen to some of my own. That's right. That's |
| 1:26.7 | right. I just love I love all the questions we get. It's it's fun. It is a fun show to do. Yes, |
| 1:31.2 | we get some crazy stuff in the inbox, not all of it, which we can answer. I'm very tempted to do |
| 1:36.5 | a show where it's just here's all these questions we couldn't answer, but that are kind of insane. |
| 1:40.8 | But I don't know how valuable. I don't know how valuable any of that is, but some of the stuff we |
