On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- How can you guard your grandpa against what seems to be a classic young woman marrying an older man for his life savings grift? [Once again, thanks to Corbin Payne (aka C-Payne) for helping us with this one!]
- You've caught wind that your father is preparing to file for a divorce from your mother, but you're not sure if she even knows yet. What's the best way to be supportive of her if this comes to pass?
- You've only been working for your "real" employer for a month, but your side hustle is far more profitable, enjoyable, and fulfilling. So how do you jettison the day job so soon after accepting it without feeling like a jerk?
- You've been out of the dating scene for a while and the whole thing can tug at your insecurities, but how do you avoid sabotaging a new relationship with your tendency to be too clingy?
- Since you were bullied early on, you've never really been the "school" type, but you know getting a higher education gives your future path a wider set of options. How can you summon the motivation to go back to school?
- Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!

| 1:08.0 | Interesting guy, really interesting guy. Even if you don't agree with his politics and a lot of you don't, I'm sure. |
| 1:14.0 | He also had Tim Snyder on the road to tyranny and authoritarianism. It can happen here is one of the messages that he wants to get across and he outlines some of how this has happened elsewhere in other countries and other points in time and what to look out for in a way that's not as depressing as it might sound. |
| 1:29.0 | I also write every so often on the blog my latest post looking back on the worst chapter of my life for years on this piece is all about the insights and the lessons that I learned when I had to leave my old company and rebuild the show that you're listening to. |
| 1:43.0 | Right now from scratch. It's all about how to use the skills and relationships and other assets at your disposal. How to survive a huge professional blow and come out even stronger. |
| 1:54.0 | It was very cathartic for me to write this piece, but I really also tried to extract general principles for anyone who's feeling lost or struggling or navigating a major change personal or professional. |
| 2:05.0 | So check that out. You can find that article and all of our articles by the way at Jordan Harbinger dot com slash articles. So make sure you've had a look and listen to everything we created for you here this week. |
| 2:16.0 | Now we got a funny email from a listener this week. Gabe you want to share this with us. Sure. Yeah. So somebody wrote in and he wrote. I'm sure you get tons of mail and may not remember me, but I messaged you on Facebook earlier this year because my autistic son decided to whisper in my ear a line that he had heard from one of your feedback Friday episodes. |
| 2:34.0 | The line was don't eat the fucking banana bread, which has apparent. You're supposed to teach your kids not to swear, but dam it all the hell. That was the funniest thing he said by a long shot. |
| 2:45.0 | It's to the point where if I have to tell him not to do something, he asks me to say it like Jordan Harbinger and I have to drop the F bomb and we laugh. So that's the sort of difference you're making in people's lives. |
| 2:57.0 | Great. We taught an autistic child to drop F bombs improving the world one child at a time game. That's what we're doing over your lives unbelievable. Yeah. Say it like Jordan Harbinger and that means dropping an F bomb in the middle of a sentence where it's inappropriate to do so great. |
| 3:13.0 | I mean, it could have been any line from any feedback Friday and it was that one. That's a good reminder. It's a classic. I guess so God knows what context I would have said don't eat the fucking banana bread. |
| 3:24.0 | Here's my guess. This is I have a theory. I think it was on an episode where you were talking about like people going to a recruiting event or something or being around hiring managers and they serve something at the event and you're like don't eat the fucking banana bread. |
| 3:38.0 | Yeah, who knows. Don't go near the food. I think that's what it was, but I don't know for sure because I think it might have been before my time even. Maybe it's like when you go to one of those open houses and they have cupcakes and cookies and it's like Jen when we were house shopping. |
| 3:50.0 | We'd go in and there'd be all these like gross you know, day old or two day old safe maybe even longer old. Safe way cupcakes that look like dry and crusty the cookies just look disgusting and that like cheap plastic container and I go straight for it and Jen's like don't do it because it's like cheap ingredients garbage sugar empty calories and I'm like yeah. |
