On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- First, let's address some reactions to the advice we gave to the ex-self-help cultist/current registered sex offender featured on a recent Feedback Friday.
- Moving across the country would afford you better business opportunities, but leave you without the safety net of free housing you enjoy now. How can you be confident enough to take this big, scary leap and ensure you do it right?
- Your significant other has picked up some bad habits while self-quarantining during the pandemic; how can you fix your relationship without nagging?
- You seem to show appreciation more than verbalize it, but you want to be good at both. How can you improve your ability to verbalize appreciation?
- You're working at one of the top places in your field and it's making you second-guess your choice of career. So is it time to find a new career entirely, or just a new place to work?
- You work for a well-known, rapidly growing startup, and former colleagues, peers, and friends of friends are reaching out for referrals. So how do you honestly deal with the ones you're not entirely stoked about referring?
- Are you thinking about confidence wrong? Don Moore, author of Perfectly Confident: How to Calibrate Your Decisions Wisely joins us to find out and, if so, offer some course corrections.
- A shout out to Christina (and Elisa and Garrett) for letting us know how our episodes with BJ Fogg and Ramit Sethi helped them change up their habits and their money!
- Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!

| 0:30.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. Today I'm here with Gabriel Mizrahi and I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt because I just want you to relentlessly make fun of my wardrobe and hair cutter lock thereof. But I am getting an underground haircut, Gabe. This coming week. |
| 0:49.0 | Oh, nice dude. The corona cut. I know. Is that technically a Hawaiian shirt you're wearing? Because it's actually pretty dope. |
| 0:55.0 | Yeah, it's different. It's not a Hawaiian shirt. That's something else. It's like I haven't quite hit my midlife crisis level, Hawaiian. Sure. Yeah. Or you're like early stage Florida Cool Dead. |
| 1:05.0 | Early stage Florida Cool Dead shirt. Yeah. Anyway enough about me. On the Jordan Harbinger show we decode the stories, secrets and skills of the world's most brilliant people. Turn there, wisdom and practical advice you can use to impact your own life and those around you. |
| 1:18.0 | We want to help you see the matrix when it comes to how amazing people think and behave high performers if you will, although that terms get a little played. |
| 1:25.0 | Our mission is to help you become a better informed or critical thinker so you can get a deeper understanding of how the world works, how your own brain works and make sense of what's really happening. |
| 1:34.0 | And if you're new to the show on Fridays, we give advice to you and answer listener questions. |
| 1:38.0 | The rest of the week we have long form interviews and conversations with a variety of amazing folks from spies to CEOs, athletes to authors to thinkers and performers. And this week we had Benjamin Hardy. He is a psychologist. |
| 1:50.0 | He's telling us about why personality tests are essentially unscientific garbage most of the time and they can do a lot of harm. |
| 1:57.0 | If you have a personality test that says, oh, you're the type of person that isn't creative, you're more of a logical thinker. There's evidence that these people who take these tests in like six grade when they're hungry, choose entire career paths based on this. |
| 2:10.0 | And you can take the same test the same day or on another day in a different mood at different time of day fed, unfed, slept, unslaped, you get a completely different result. |
| 2:20.0 | So spoiler alert, they're kind of pseudo scientific counter intuitive episode with my friend Benjamin Hardy. We also had Bill Nye, the science guy. That was a particularly interesting interview for me because we did it in a recording studio that had just reaked of weed. |
| 2:35.0 | Anyway, I tell the story during the show. It's just kind of a funny situation that I found myself in. And I also write every so often in the blog. The latest post is how to ask for advice and make the most of it. |
| 2:45.0 | A lot of people have been asking for advice from me from you from a lot of other folks and I'll tell you they're making a lot of mistakes. |
| 2:51.0 | Do you have any general tips on this really complicated topic? I wrote all the mistakes I could think of that we're showing up over and over again. |
| 2:57.0 | And we put them in this post how to ask for advice and it was such a commonly reference post in the past few weeks that I made the URL Jordan Harbinger dot com slash advice. |
| 3:06.0 | You don't even have to go to the blog and look through the other articles just go to Jordan Harbinger dot com slash advice and find out why the thing you probably just asked me was actually not a good way to ask for advice. |
