Summary

Time for Fan Mail Friday, where we'll be answering your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help you kick the weekend off right. Let's cut to it! In this episode: Is it fair to assess someone's character and integrity from a small incident that appears to be inconsequential? When does a benevolent Band of Brothers (as discussed in Episode 460 with Stephen Mansfield: Building a Band of Brothers) become a corrupt Old Boys Network? Where do we stand on "the power of positive thinking?" Is it just a gimmick or does it really work? Is it wrong to initiate a relationship with someone when you know you're going to be moving far away soon? If it bothers you when someone refers to you as a freelancer instead of an entrepreneur, how do you respond without sounding overly negative?

0:00.0	Time for fan mail Fridays. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason
0:04.8	de Filippo. We'll be answering your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help
0:09.2	you kick the weekend off, right? If you're new to the Art of Charm Podcast, this isn't the best
0:13.3	place to start. Most of our content is more in-depth and longer formats. So check out the best of
0:19.2	at the Art of Charm.com slash best or the fundamentals toolbox at the Art of Charm.com slash toolbox.
0:25.5	There we've got the fundamentals of body language, nonverbal communication, attraction,
0:29.3	negotiation, networking, and everything else we teach here at the Art of Charm. We'll send
0:34.3	all that to your inbox if you text Charm. That's CH-AR-M-E-D to 3-3-4-4-4 in the USA. Or if you're
0:42.0	not in the USA, go to theartofcharm.com. All right, let's cut to it.
0:46.3	Hi, Jordan and the rest of the Art of Charm team. Is it fair to assess someone's character and
0:50.4	integrity from a small incident that appears to be inconsequential? I bumped into a friend from
0:55.2	college. We caught up and decided to go see a football game together. He bought the tickets in
0:59.2	advance and told me I owed him 55 bucks. I decided to give him 60 and extra $5 to cover taxes in the
1:05.2	hassle of buying the tickets. When I gave him the 60 bucks, he didn't offer any change or acknowledge
1:09.6	that I even paid him extra. Although I was planning to let him keep the five bucks, I thought it was
1:14.3	a bit odd because most of my friends offer change or acknowledgement out of just common courtesy.
1:19.0	Anyways, that wasn't the problem. What bugged me was when he gave me the ticket, only then did I
1:23.9	realize that the actual ticket price was only 45 bucks. It looks like he already added an extra
1:28.8	$10 on top of the ticket price without mentioning. Mathematically, I paid him $15 more than the actual
1:34.4	ticket price. I didn't want to fret about it since it's not a huge amount and I didn't want to make
1:38.5	the situation awkward. But after some thought, I felt a bit ripped off for being misinformed with
1:42.9	the actual price on the ticket. I'm wondering if it's fair to use this situation as a judgment call on
