On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- The idea of having children with your partner out of wedlock might not matter to society as much as it used to, but it might matter more to your partner than is apparent.
- You don't always need to see your doctor waving a huge red flag in order to seek a second opinion, but here's a great example of one if you're wondering what such a red flag might look like.
- Even though the relationship you've had with your high school sweetheart for nearly 10 years is strong, you can't help but wonder if your partner's desire to explore and experience other people would break you up for good or bring you closer in the long run.
- During childhood, your spouse was sexually abused by a family member. Not everyone in the family knows this, and now that family member will be present at future holidays and gatherings. If your spouse doesn't want to speak up, what can you do?
- Getting from the beginning to the end of a personal anecdote can be a struggle when you don't feel like you've mastered the art of storytelling. How do you get better at honing your storytelling chops?
- You know it's a bad idea to pursue a romance or relationship with someone at the office (especially when you're the boss), but you can't deny there's an attraction between you and someone there. So how do you cool things off before this becomes a real problem?
- If you're a new teacher -- or someone who frequently needs to speak in front of people -- how do you address the overwhelming feedback that your voice is too quiet?
- How can you convey remorse about an on-the-job transgression for which you need to atone on a professional level?
- Tank's Good News: Hands-Only CPR's 'Keep The Beat' 100 BPM Playlist by American Heart Association on Spotify
- Recommendation of the Week: Quincy
- Quick shoutout to Taylor Fischer in Las Vegas!

| 0:30.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger and I'm here with producer Jason de Filipo. |
| 0:35.0 | Here on the Jordan Harbinger show we love having conversations with our fascinating guests in this week. |
| 0:40.0 | We had former ambassador to Russia, Michael McFall, talking about cross-cultural communication and of course I also asked him about the Russia crisis and how spies and deals with the company. |

| 1:07.0 | Our primary mission is to pass along our guests insights to you, our experiences and insights to you. In other words, the real purpose of the show is to have conversations directly with you. And that's what we're going to do today here on Feedback Friday. |
| 1:19.0 | You can reach us at Friday at Jordan Harbinger.com. Try to keep them concise when you send in your questions. That really helps increase the chance that your question will get answered on the air. |
| 1:29.0 | I just got back from Australia Jason. I know that you and I kept in touch while we were there. Great time went to We Are Podcasts, which is a podcasting conference down under. |
| 1:39.0 | We had a speaker retreat afterwards with some top podcast people really loved hanging out with all of those folks as well. And I traveled too much this year. I overbooked myself this year. |
| 1:49.0 | Really, you say? Yeah. And that was kind of a little bit of an issue. |
| 1:55.0 | I think I might have to tone it down a little next year. But I always feel like I always say that it's worth it to learn a lot, get some traction figuring out where the show's going in 2019 to go down to Australia. |
| 2:05.0 | But yeah, I want to do more video this coming year. So I have to say no to some things. But I feel like it just means saying yes to a lot more different things as well. |
| 2:13.0 | Well, I'm glad you're back. That's all that matters to me. Yes. It's been a while since we've been back in the saddle. So this is going to be fun. |
| 2:19.0 | It should be fine. If it weren't like four AM were in Australia right now or whatever time it is in my brain, 530 AM in Australia right now, that explains why I feel a little a lot of it. |
| 2:31.0 | You are a man of many time zones. Yes, that is true. And that on that note, let's dive into the mail bag before I fall asleep in my coffee here. |
| 2:39.0 | Hey guys. So my predicament is I love my girlfriend. We've been together for about three and a half years. |
| 2:45.0 | We've discussed our future, family, where to live, etc. in around the same path. However, she wants to be married before starting to try for children as where I'm not as bothered. |
