On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- Recently, your daughter's 15-year-old friend got pregnant. Should you keep your daughter away from her?
- With inoperable stage four pancreatic cancer, your father may not have long to live. How can you fill his remaining time with purpose?
- How can you be comfortable around someone who seemingly reads your mind by body language, microexpressions, and tonality?
- While you want to open up around others, social events have you in the corner hiding inside your shell. How can you coax yourself out to mingle?
- You're in your 30s and you can keep working locally at a safe, consistent job that pays well, but you're really yearning for a chance to live and work abroad. A few years from now, which choice are you most likely to regret not making?
- The company where you've worked for 15 years has expanded and you'd like to keep working for it -- but on the other side of the country. Should you keep this to yourself until your plans are more concrete, or should you tell your local office boss as soon as possible?
- You're moving from California to the UK on a plane and you're wisely taking your cat with you in the cabin. But she can be loud when she's nervous; what happens if you wind up sitting next to someone who hates cats? What's the protocol?
- You knew someone who could have helped you redirect your career momentum, but you've let the connection lapse and now you feel awkward about reconnecting. Is it too late to reach out?
- Life Pro Tip: Whenever you recall a painfully embarrassing memory, imagine the Seinfeld theme playing over it.
- Recommendation of the Week: Bohemian Rhapsody
- A quick shoutout to Jamie Sparks!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason to |
| 0:04.1 | Philipo. Here on the Jordan Harbinger show we love having conversations with our fascinating guests |
| 0:08.9 | and this week we had Charlemagne the God. He's a regular on the show. He's back talking about anxiety |
| 0:14.7 | and well there's a lot to this conversation honestly. You can't really keep Charlemagne corraled |
| 0:19.5 | on one topic nor would you want to. Always a fun guest, always super interesting, charismatic and fun. |
| 0:24.4 | So check out that Charlemagne episode and we had my friend Clinton Watts who, Jason, this guy |
| 0:30.5 | is so interesting. He basically chases terrorists online but it's kind of like a public thing. So he's |
| 0:37.4 | engaging with them on social media. He's tracking their recruitment efforts and he started off as a |
| 0:43.4 | social engineer and now he specializes in things like generating rapport, getting into dialogues with |
| 0:49.1 | these guys and having them discredit themselves and then of course he's going through and discussing |
| 0:53.6 | the Russian troll issue and how social media contributes to all this really interesting episode |
| 0:57.8 | from one of the very few experts in the world on that subject. Absolutely fascinating. Absolutely |
| 1:03.6 | fascinating. Also I write every so often on the blog, one of the latest posts anyway is about how |
| 1:08.8 | to form a strong opinion. Not just dig your heels in and decide everyone else is wrong but how to |
| 1:13.4 | form a qualified strong opinion because I think a lot of opinions now are formed based on emotion. We |
| 1:20.0 | dig in. We are very quick to form an opinion that maybe we're on qualified to have and then we |
| 1:25.7 | just hold on for dear life. One really what we should be doing is slowly forming opinions and |
| 1:31.7 | then making them very easy to let go of one we're presented with evidence to the contrary. So I |
| 1:36.3 | wrote a whole piece about this. It's actually quite in depth and that's at JordanHarbinger.com |
| 1:41.9 | slash articles. So of course if you're looking to become a better thinker, some of these articles, |
| 1:46.2 | we really do go in depth and the deep dives are based on those but of course the nuances all |
| 1:51.2 | in the written words. So that's what we've got this week. So go back and listen to those two guests |
