On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- How do Jordan and Jen spend money differently now that they have a kid? And when you're buying something with a high price tag, why should you avoid the middle-tier option?
- Instead of freeing you up to find a career you could fall in love with, a windfall you received at your father's passing has instead overwhelmed you with seemingly limitless options. How should you spend your inheritance in a way that would make you happy and your father proud?
- How can you find time and energy for self-improvement when you've developed a never-ending headache and fatigue that lasts for decades that doctors can't solve? Should you just be happy to stay where you are so you don't risk worsening your health?
- Looking toward marketing your invention, you're worried your stutter might get in the way of engaging with your intended audience. What can you do to reduce your stutter and the distraction it is likely to cause?
- Should you accept the terms of an "influencer" who wants you to do work for them with the nebulous guarantee of "exposure" to their sizeable community, or should you insist on cold, hard cash even if it means you could burn a bridge that might lead to more work down the line?
- You're having trouble landing a second interview in your job search, and you're wondering if you're unconsciously doing something to sell yourself short or if potential employers are finding unsavory things about you online. What can you do to identify the problem?
- Does Jordan lack an inner monologue?
- Recommendation of the Week: Who Killed Malcolm X?
- A quick shout out to Mani from Leicester!
