welcome to feedback Friday. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger and I'm here with producer Jason

to Philipo here on the Jordan Harbinger show we love having conversations with our fascinating

guests and this week we had Scott Gallup professor Scott Gallow excuse me talking about how

to get ahead and optimize for happiness and I love this episode because it was very non-woo

woo at all. It's a really good episode. He was he's just a wise man who's made a lot of mistakes

and then went oh I made this mistake let me figure out a better path and then doles out advice

so it's not just sort of bumper stickery advice or look at all these things I had to overcome

it's all right tested that failed here's the real way to do it and a lot of his advice is quite

a slap in the face there's one part of the show Jason I don't know if you remember where he basically

says and this is from the book the algebra of happiness where he said if you don't work

like non-stop in your 20s and 30s and stop worrying about work life balance there's a pretty good

chance you'll just never be successful economically I remember very well and I was like oh because all

these there's all this whole sort of cult of the entrepreneur right now where everyone's like

I work from home and I'm a consultant in gig economy and I'm an influencer and it's like okay cool

and there's people on the hustle for that there's nothing wrong with that per se some of its fluff

but a lot of people are doing this whole I'm working from the beach I you know I only work five

hours a week now all this stuff he's just like yeah that's not real it's just not he's like very

few outliers can do that assume you are not one of those people because the statistics are not on

your side and I'm just like yes keep punch and scat so that episodes are really good reality check

if and if you have kids it's a great one if you don't have kids I loved the book I loved that

episode I could have gone on for another hour anyway it's a very popular episode I highly recommend

that one we also did a deep dive about what to do when something you love something you think is
