On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- Should you proceed with the marriage next month when your fiancée refuses to quit her weed habit even when she knows it triggers your own addictive tendencies?
- Your mother's always fawned over babies, but expresses indifference once they get older. As a result, you feel like you were neglected through most of your childhood and never fully developed. Now, at age 30, you've discovered you were conceived via a sperm donor, and suddenly the dots connect. How should you approach your mother about this?
- Your international long-distance relationship of several years was disrupted by COVID. And even though you've both agreed to date other people, you still hold onto hope that you might someday be able to work things out and resume a life together. Is this at all realistic, or is it just time to move on?
- You don't mind having a reputation for being nice, but it seems to be a green light for some people to habitually take advantage of you. How can you find the right balance between kindness and assertiveness?
- This past year, you've been surrounded with reminders of the impending death of loved ones, and what’s to come once they’re gone. How do you stop planning for the inevitable and start enjoying the time you have with those close to you while you still can?

| 0:15.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with |
| 0:19.2 | Feedback Friday producer, The Brian to my Stewie, Gabriel Mizrahi. On the Jordan Harbinger show, |
| 0:24.8 | we decode the stories, secrets and skills of the world's most fascinating people, |
| 0:28.6 | and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those |
| 0:33.6 | around you. We want to help you see the matrix when it comes to how these amazing people think and |
| 0:37.5 | behave, and our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker so you |
| 0:42.1 | can get a much deeper understanding of how the world works and make sense of what's really |
| 0:46.4 | happening even inside your own mind. If you're new to the show, on Fridays, we give advice, we |

| 1:06.9 | organization that happens to work in the Middle East. He's the guy that people go to when |
| 1:12.2 | someone goes missing in Syria because he's one of the only people with connections there. |
| 1:16.9 | As you might guess by his last name, he's Jewish. He works with all of these crazy, |
| 1:24.8 | human trafficker people and spies, but he's just like this chill Jewish guy who happens to work in |
| 1:31.3 | an NGO. He's extremely sharp and skilled, very used to high stakes thinking in situations. I |
| 1:37.7 | loved this episode. It kind of came out of nowhere. A listener recommended it and I'm excited for |
| 1:42.0 | everyone to hear it if you haven't yet. We also had Martin Kov. Start in the Karate kid as Sensei |
