Summary

Welcome to Fan Mail Friday #87! No jibber-jabber, just a short show where we answer Art of Charm listener mail and give out mini-lessons for the weekend! Let's cut to it! In this episode: How do you balance your need to find the best career fit with being transparent to the people who believed in you from the get-go? Should you stick with your company that won't promote you unless you get an advanced degree -- even though you've been there for years and believe your experience should count for something? After years of substance abuse and hitting rock bottom, you're now on track to getting your life back. But what do you do when your negative family keeps judging you for mistakes of the past in spite of having a good relationship and excellent grades? How can you successfully manage your relationships at work without getting too involved in the gossip that prevails there? What do you do when you're an actor and your significant other freaks out at the prospect of your inevitable romantic scenes? A quick shoutout to Sheila and Hari Nadiminti -- a husband and wife team of doctors on the East Coast who listen to AoC on the regular!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason de
0:04.0	Philipo here at AOC. We may not have all the answers, but we certainly have plenty of questions.
0:08.9	And today on fan mail Friday, those questions come from you. If you're new to the Art of Charm
0:13.6	podcast, fan mail Friday, probably not the best place to start, at least not in my opinion.
0:17.7	Most of our content is interview based. It's more in depth. It's longer format. So check out the
0:22.4	best of at the Art of Charm.com slash best or the fundamentals toolbox at the Art of Charm.com.
0:28.0	Slash toolbox. That's where we've got a whole bunch of, well, toolbox episodes like nonverbal
0:32.5	communication, reading body language, mechanics of attraction, negotiation techniques, networking,
0:38.2	influence persuasion, everything else we teach here at the Art of Charm. And we'll send all that

1:07.9	offer competitive with what I've been interviewing for. Even though I really like the company and
1:12.6	especially the team, it's clearly in my best interest to approach them with the highest offers I
1:16.8	can negotiate. Over the course of the last week, I've been extended offers and serious callbacks
1:21.6	from large companies and interesting local startups that I'm interested in exploring more deeply.
1:26.4	How do I balance the need to find the best fit for me, both monetarily and culturally,
1:31.2	with being transparent with the people who believed in me from the get-go?
1:34.8	Sincerely, juxtaposed Johnny. Hey Johnny, for me, you really have to balance cultural and
1:40.9	monetary fit with transparencies. I think you're correct there. It doesn't mean that you owe allegiance
