On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

How can you prove that your teacher is name-grading essays without cheating on the paper?
You're a veteran looking to transition back to civilian life. Here are some resources that might help (many thanks to your fellow veteran Zach Criswell for this info).
When the big change you really need is a job opportunity at another company, is it unfair not to give your current employer a chance to negotiate with you to stay put?
You're worried your significant other might have gotten wrapped up in an expensive self-help cult. What might you say to bring them gently back to Earth without wasting even more time and money?
How do you find a lawyer who will actually get the job you need done and won't break the bank?
An important network connection has offered to help you find opportunities as you're transitioning into a new field, but how can you ensure you're not biting off more than you can chew while still learning the ropes without wasting anyone's time?
You're a contractor who has worked for a company that has been bought and sold three times in the past three years. How do you present this on your resume so it doesn't look like you've worked for three companies in that time?
You're in your fifties and looking to open a franchise, though you don't have direct retail experience. What should you do to minimize risk so you're not burdened with debt in your retirement years should things go south?
Recommendation of the Week: Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

0:02.1	I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger, and I'm here with producer Jason DeFilippo.

0:09.4	guests.
0:10.4	And this week, we had Jerren Leneer talking about how social media companies essentially

0:21.7	We also had John Rulan talking about gifting and getting, getting under people, getting
0:25.7	inside people's brains in the positive way with things that they like that will surprise
0:29.9	them instead of the negative way, getting in their brains.
0:32.6	We kind of had two sides of the same coin here this week on the show.
