Summary
You recently had a revelation that your spouse has zero respect for you. On a daily basis, you're reminded how to do basic tasks and criticized for every minor mistake you make. You've also noticed that they never value your advice, and if they have a question about something — no matter how confident your answer is — they'll always ask someone else afterward as if they don't value or believe your answer. You work hard, have a good job that supports your family on your income alone, you help out around the house probably more than most in your position, and you're going to school to further your education and job opportunities even more. The big question is: If they really do have zero respect for you, how can you win back your spouse's respect? We'll try to answer this and much more on the latest Feedback Friday!
And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason DeFillippo (@jpdef) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now let's dive in!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- Interested in doing some prison time with Jordan next February? It's filling up fast; reach out to prison@jordanharbinger.com for details!
- From the way you're treated in public and private, you recently had a revelation that your spouse of several years has zero respect for you. Even if you can figure out why, can respect ever be regained after it's lost? If so, how?
- You're trying to get through college as an introvert, but your challenges are going as expected. Once people have an impression of you as an unfriendly person fixed in their minds, is it possible to change it?
- You're trying to move into another role at your current company; you had a great interview and thought it was a sure thing. But they chose someone else and you wonder what went wrong. What can you do to improve your chances next time?
- Your significant other isn't pulling their weight financially. How can you tactfully approach the matter without making them feel completely worthless, and what can you do to ensure they understand the concept of “adulting?”
- You're from a developing nation and, thanks to the Internet, you relate more to Western culture than the one in which you were raised. Unfortunately, any potential significant other isn't on board with your “radical” views. Should you seek love in another land even though you don't have a lot of money to travel?
- You're young, and so are most of your network connections. Should you still work on this younger network, or should you try to build an older network while maintaining the one you currently have?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger, and I'm here with producer |
| 0:07.8 | Jason DeFilippo. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills |
| 0:12.5 | of the world's most brilliant and interesting people and turn their wisdom into practical |
| 0:16.5 | advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. In this week, we |
| 0:20.6 | had Mubin Shake. This is an interesting one, Jason. This guy, he was originally kind of |
| 0:26.0 | a radical Muslim guy, goes to Syria, lives over there, and then it's like, I don't really |
| 0:31.8 | like the society that they've built over here. It comes back and ends up foiling the September |
| 0:37.4 | 11th of Canada. He infiltrated this whole group, kind of a crazy story. So him and I got |
| 0:42.4 | along pretty well, really interesting guy, great story. And we had TI, TIP, Harris. He |
| 0:47.7 | is a hip hop legend. I don't even know how else to put it. I was originally like, wait, |
| 0:52.6 | whatever you like guy. You know, I thought that was kind of a fun one because when I got |
| 0:57.0 | pitched this originally, I thought, okay, what are we going to do here? But whenever you |
| 1:00.4 | get somebody that's that iconic on the show, it just ends up being a funny conversation |
| 1:04.8 | because we're in two different universes and trying to sort of reach across and make |
| 1:08.6 | some sort of connection here. I also write every so often on the blog. We've got lots |
| 1:12.1 | of articles up there, deep dive topics. Anything we've done a deep dive on usually comes |
| 1:16.5 | from an article. And then we've got our little rants on there that are designed to help |
| 1:20.4 | you get better at things. So intuition and why you shouldn't listen to it and debunking |
| 1:25.8 | a lot of hype. That's what I like to do in those articles, wherever possible. Those |
| 1:29.2 | are at JordanHarbinger.com slash articles. Of course, our primary mission on the Jordan |
| 1:33.8 | Harbinger show is to pass along our guests insights and our own experience and insights |
| 1:37.6 | along to you. So we like to have real conversations directly with you. And that's what we do on |
