| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason to Philipo. |
| 0:05.3 | Here on the Jordan Harbinger show, we love having conversations with fascinating guests, of course. Our primary purpose though, |
| 0:11.7 | we pass along there and our experiences and insights along to you. In other words, the real purpose of this show is to have conversations directly with you wherever possible. |
| 0:20.5 | That's what we're going to do today here on Feedback Friday. We take a bunch of your questions, your queries. |
| 0:25.5 | We dish out some advice, we dish out some bad advice and some good advice just so you guys know, not deliberately bad advice, just, just occasional. |
| 0:34.4 | And you know, a lot of it, I feel like Jason sometimes on the show, half of what we do is tough love and the person's already answered their question, or at least in part answered their question. |
| 0:43.6 | And then the rest of it, I'm always sort of surprised at even, I'm often pleasantly surprised at the wisdom that comes out on the show, not just mine. That would be a weird self-serving comment. |
| 0:55.1 | But I was going to say that's kind of arrogant. I'm often surprised at how smart I am. Jason, no, I just wanted to know. |
| 1:00.5 | But I am amazed myself someday. I really do. But I really am impressed by the amount of combined life experience that you and I have that results in things that to me and you probably seem obvious, |
| 1:13.1 | but to somebody who's never been through a certain situation are not. |
| 1:16.6 | And what you just mentioned before about people answering their own questions, I think that is something that is kind of fascinating. |
| 1:23.4 | When people talk through these questions, when they send them to us, by the time they get to the end, they kind of understand what their problems are. |
| 1:30.0 | And so they look to us just kind of for verification. And I like that part. |
| 1:34.8 | Because when you write things out, it really does come out in your head and you get to kind of chug through it. |
| 1:40.5 | So when you have a question for feedback Friday, start writing it down and see if you can kind of come to your own conclusions. |
| 1:46.7 | But then send it to us and we'll tell you if you're right or wrong. |
| 1:48.8 | Yeah, exactly. According to our, our, our unassailable opinion, natural. |
| 1:53.8 | Yes, the opinion, no meter. |
| 1:55.7 | Yes, is what we'll call it. |
| 1:57.1 | Please send your questions to Friday at JordanHarbinger.com. |
| 1:59.8 | You can send anything else to me, Jordan at JordanHarbinger.com. |
| 2:03.1 | But if you send a question for feedback Friday to Jordan instead of Friday, it goes to the end of the line. |
