Summary

Time for Fan Mail Fridays, where we'll be answering your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help you kick the weekend off right. In this episode: If you're going through the trouble of enduring so-called "networking events," should you suffer the fools you meet there gladly in hopes their business sense outweighs their social sense? Is pursuing a career on Wall Street a no-brainer? Come on! All your friends are doing it... When you're experiencing a new career and the benefit of discretionary income for the first time in your life, how do you handle the divide it's causing between you and your longtime -- but less fortunate -- friends? Is recreational drug use as a college student a no-brainer? Come on! All your friends are doing it... Two-time (but not two-timing) AoC guest Duana Welch weighs in on why science tells us men are more emotional than women. How can people in a long-distance relationship build trust that overrides concern the other party might cheat? Why is playing Devil's Advocate a bad thing? Jordan talks about how to break this habit in this video. Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at [email protected]!
