On This Week's Feedback Friday:

  • If you want to take a quick plane ride across the sea of Jordan’s reflections on China during his month-long trip there, you can jump to about 30 minutes, five seconds. Sheh-sheh, and enjoy!
  • You've wrestled inflammatory conditions your whole life, until a teenage steroid reaction detonated into psychosis. Years later, a manic episode nearly made you the accidental CEO of Best Buy. Now your kids are young adults, and you're sitting on a medical history you've never breathed a word of. Do you tell them, or wait for fate to force your hand?
  • 10-plus years married, two kids, a well-oiled co-parenting machine, but behind closed doors, the romance flatlined years ago. Then a woman at a Vegas conference lit up something long dormant, and the texts have drifted from casual to dangerously deep. Is "emotional cheating" even real — and is this connection, or just a mirage?
  • Recommendation of the Week: Use this prompt (courtesy of listener Ben) with your AI of choice to prepare for layoffs and/or a job search.
  • You fired off a newsletter with the subject line "Saw your name in the Epstein files" — a wink, a test, a point about curiosity owing its audience real substance. Most readers howled with laughter. A furious few grabbed pitchforks. What does the split reaction — and the open-rate data — quietly reveal about how we choose to engage?
  • Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!

Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback

0:07.9

Friday producer, my co-pilot who's never lagging while I gallivant around the Red Dragon, Gabriel Mizrahi.

0:14.4

On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most

0:17.9

fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice

0:21.2

that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. Our mission is to help you

0:25.0

become a better informed, more critical thinker, and during the week we have long-form

0:28.4

conversations with a variety of amazing folks, former cult members, investigative journalists,

0:33.5

legendary actors. On Fridays, though, we take listener letters, offer advice, and share weird

0:37.8

travel stories from opposite ends of the globe. Speaking of which, this is our first episode

0:41.9

we're recording while you're in China. Looking good. Yes. You seem very refreshed. You're in

0:46.8

China mode. I love it. How are you doing? It's early right now. I slept like crap because my kid

0:52.4

kicks me in the balls. I sleep with my son here in this

0:54.5

bed, it is Hilton. Still. And I wish I had the ability to do sound bites on the go, because I feel like I need to

1:01.5

have Trump's China soundbite handy. How did you not think of that in advance, dude? China. I don't know.

1:07.8

I need to go to the electronics markets here, which are bananas and

1:12.5

find a quick knockoff sound bite machine. Poor planning on our part. That was. I mean, the thing is

1:18.0

you can get, and I should do a whole bit on this, a whole segment on this in a future episode,

1:22.6

but the electronics here are a whole thing. But yeah, basically we got to see how this Wi-Fi holds up

1:27.6

first. Honestly, it's doing great so far. You said you couldn't even connect when you first arrived, but this is perfect. You're coming in crystal-clic. This is through a VPN, because you've got to get a China-specific VPN. You can't use like NordVPN or whatever. You've got to use a Chinese-specific VPN and then you've got to use hotel internet. So I asked AI how to make this faster and it's like,

1:46.1

you are on the death trifecta. use a Chinese-specific VPN. And then you've got to use hotel internet. So I asked AI how to make this

1:45.3

faster. And it's like, you are on the death trifecta, hotel internet, VPN, and you're in China

1:51.8

behind the great firewall. And it's just like, you're not going to make this any faster than it already
