On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

  • You're torn between confronting your abusive father about the violence he inflicted on you and your siblings growing up (which he now denies ever happened) or staying silent to protect your inheritance β€” money that could secure your daughter's future. He has a business worth over a million dollars and plenty of assets, but he's threatened to write people out of his will for far less. How do you balance authenticity with practicality?
  • As head of technology, you championed a vendor partnership that turned out to be a disaster. They misrepresented key elements, costs are rising, and you've lost control of critical infrastructure. The worst part? You might be stuck with them for three to five years. While your CEO and board remain supportive, you're drowning in shame, dreading meetings, and questioning your leadership. How do you move forward?
  • You're a disciplined 32-year-old investor who allocated over $8,000 to a real estate crowdfunding platform that has ghosted its investors. The company appears insolvent, withholding dividends and refusing to refund invested capital. Though the amount won't significantly impact you financially, the principle bothers you deeply. What options do you have for recovering your funds? [Thanks to bankruptcy attorney Erin Hoskins for helping us with this one!]
  • Your 70-year-old fiercely independent mother is showing concerning signs of decline β€” forgetting bills, ignoring serious home issues, and recently was found driving her car in the wrong direction 40 minutes from home. You live in Florida while she's in rural Canada, and your sister nearby has her hands full. What legal options and practical measures can you take to keep her safe? [Thanks to senior services expert Pam Dukes for lending her expertise to this one!]
  • Recommendation of the Week: RippedBody.com
  • Two years ago, you survived a suicide attempt following your wife's affair and abandonment. Since then, therapy and new relationships have transformed your life. On the first anniversary, you celebrated with the few people who knew about the attempt. Now approaching year two, you're wondering: should you expand this celebration to include new friends? Is this strange to commemorate?

Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer, my dues catcher in arms, Gabriel Mizrahi.

0:12.0

Dues hits person, person writes inbox, inbox goes to show. We catch dues. We're dues catchers. It's just who we are.

0:19.0

And if the dues comes back within 24 hours, we have to catch it again for free.

0:22.6

Those are the rules.

0:23.6

It's just company policy.

0:24.6

If you have no idea what we're talking about, which makes perfect sense actually, go back,

0:27.6

was it a month ago?

0:28.6

This is a reference to the professional bird catcher who wrote in.

0:31.6

I kept thinking about that guy's intro.

0:32.6

Just, so guys, I'm a bird catcher. Okay, that's a thing. Oh, and with a 24-hour refund policy, I guess, guarantee?

0:39.3

Still doesn't make sense to me.

0:41.3

None of it makes any sense.

0:42.3

No, I know.

0:43.3

And that's why he was getting abused by his employer, because it's the only game in town where

0:46.3

you can get paid for catching birds at Costco or whatever.

0:48.3

All right, on the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those

around you. Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker.

1:02.1

During the week, we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks from war

1:06.3

correspondents and neuroscientists, astronauts, and national security advisors. This week, we had the one and only

1:12.5

Ed Helms of the office and the hangover fame. He was really a lot of fun. I got to do that one in

1:16.6

person. It was just a heck of a good time. I had a shoulder injury, which was really distracting me.

1:21.1

So I'm in kind of a different mood, and he is in an awesome mood. So it's a funny episode, I thought, and a fun conversation. We also had Daniel Levitton on the power of music.
