On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- After building a successful career and family, you've come to realize you'd rather spend your remaining days in the company of men half your age rather than with your wife of 25 years. Now that it's time to retire, should you stay tepidly wed or chase all the young dudes, instead?
- Every time you land a career, some global economic catastrophe seems to send you in search of a new one. How can you future-proof yourself against financial displacement if your next chosen field once again goes kaput?
- How can you resolve a pet custody dispute with an unreasonable ex when your state doesn't have laws to definitively settle such matters?
- Since being preemptively stigmatized as a potential child molester by your brother-in-law's vindictive ex-wife, you've gone from being an uncle who takes the kids to the zoo and plays board games to the man who leaves the room when your niece enters. How do you handle this situation without punishing your daughter and niece — or running the risk of being baselessly accused of the unthinkable?
- You've discovered that your neighbors can hear your Zoom therapy sessions through the paper-thin wall between apartments. Should you talk to them about it?
- Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!

| 0:00.0 | Special thanks to US Bank for sponsoring this episode of the Jordan Harbinger Show. |
| 0:08.2 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday |
| 0:13.2 | producer, a man who's bearded this week. I could only describe his bougie yoga teacher training |
| 0:18.5 | in Costa Rica day nine. Gabriel Mizrahi. You know, I'm not mad about it. I think that's accurate |
| 0:25.7 | and not entirely unwelcome. If you're a yoga trainer, you're not allowed to get mad about any |
| 0:30.4 | on the Jordan Harbinger Show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's |
| 0:34.0 | most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact |
| 0:38.7 | your own life and those around you. We want to help you see the matrix when it comes to how |
| 0:42.8 | these amazing people think and behave. And our mission is to help you become a better informed, |
| 0:47.8 | more critical thinker so you can get a much deeper understanding of how the world works and make |
| 0:52.0 | sense of what's really happening even inside your own mind. If you're new to the show on Fridays, |

| 1:10.3 | want to go visit a few years back. I wish I had known and then could have hung out in the jungle. |
| 1:14.8 | Really amazing guy. Great conversation about conservation, the Amazon jungle, crazy wildlife, |
| 1:20.1 | poachers, illegal gold miners. Fun for me, because we both been to the jungle, the same place. In fact, |
| 1:24.7 | I think you'll enjoy the conversation as well. Gabe, before we dive in, we got to share that |
| 1:29.5 | hilarious email that I got from a listener this week. Can you read that for us? Sure. So the letter |
| 1:35.4 | goes like this, Hey, Jordan and Gabe, my partner and I love the show. I just wanted to tell you that |
| 1:40.4 | I recently gave birth to our first baby on Christmas day. And for the majority of the 24th and the |
| 1:46.1 | morning of the 25th, I was listening to your show. It was something I could completely focus on. |
