Summary

Welcome to Fan Mail Friday #48! No jibber-jabber, just a short show where we answer Art of Charm listener mail and give out mini-lessons for the weekend! In this episode: Was Cal Newport's advice to entrepreneurs in episode 482 of The Art of Charm too practical? (We get some clarification from the source.) As the new guy on the job, you might expect some lighthearted newbie-ribbing from your boss and coworkers -- but what do you do when it seems to cross the line between having fun and making you appear incompetent? The Art of Charm's not for everybody. What's our advice to a teacher who is wondering how to give out advice to students (especially regarding the go to college/don't go to college conundrum)? How do you hug someone without being awkward or creepy? Is six months too soon to make a genuine proposal to your foreign-born sweetheart who may otherwise face deportation? We should revel in having awesome friends instead of comparing ourselves to them. Jordan tells us how to stop comparing ourselves to others in this video. Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at [email protected]!
