On This Week's Feedback Friday:
- You're 32, own a house, and your high-school-friend-turned-roommate just violated the carefully negotiated "cuddle agreement" you both crafted after that Vegas moment changed everything. She's hooking up with other guys while you're left wondering: are relationship contracts just elaborate ways to avoid real feelings?
- Your sister-in-law — an Ivy League MD/PhD running a pharma empire — has mysteriously locked down access to your stroke-victim brother-in-law, creating an elaborate web of isolation and control. What's her endgame, and how do you fight someone who's turned medical expertise into manipulation?
- Recommendation of the Week: Activate Games
- At 22, you burned through $100k of your $150k nest egg on transformative travel experiences that cured your social anxiety and rebuilt your entire identity. Now you're entering the workforce wondering if you just make the smartest investment of your life, or committed financial self-sabotage disguised as self-discovery?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback |
| 0:08.8 | Friday producer, my glossy bro with that Vinyasa flow, Gabriel Mizrahi. This humidity is doing my |
| 0:15.6 | skin a lot of favors. You are right about that. Also, where are you recording from? It's like a really |
| 0:20.8 | nice cave. |
| 0:22.3 | It looks really nice, but it sounds like you're in some, you're Donald Trump's bathroom. |
| 0:26.9 | I know. |
| 0:27.4 | It's like I'm recording from Torabora today. |
| 0:29.3 | There's a distinct dearth of rugs in this apartment that I'm staying in. |
| 0:33.4 | So I apologize for the, for the echo. Yeah, we don't film these episodes, but basically the only |
| 0:39.0 | rug that seems to be in the whole room is, of course, on the wall. And that is how you know that you're |
| 0:43.3 | staying in an Airbnb on the Nicaoya Peninsula. Yeah, carpet? Sure, on the wall only, though. |
| 0:48.7 | On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets and skills of the world's most fascinating |
| 0:52.4 | people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. Our mission |
| 0:57.9 | is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker. During the week, we have long |
| 1:01.7 | form conversations with a variety of amazing folks. Former jihadis, drug traffickers, arms dealers, |
| 1:06.9 | national security advisors. This week we had Jefferson Fisher, author of The Next Conversation. He's a |
| 1:12.7 | trial lawyer. Super interesting guy talks about persuasion, communication, some amazing tactics that |
| 1:17.4 | will help get you deep rapport in connection with others. Like I said, he's a trial attorney. |
| 1:21.1 | So the episode is punctuated and illustrated with all sorts of really interesting examples |
| 1:25.3 | from his law practice and personal life. |
| 1:30.7 | I think you'll like this one. He's kind of a good hang, if you know what I mean. I think that you will learn a lot about these topics and put them into practice, even if you're not a soulless |
| 1:35.8 | lawyer like me. On Fridays, though, we share stories, take listener letters, offer advice, |
