On This Week's Feedback Friday:

• Your co-founder turned hostile, stole your inventory, rebranded your products, and launched a years-long campaign of defamation, impersonation, and stalking in your tiny town. You've stayed silent, filed for a restraining order, and kept meticulous records. How do you survive when disengagement doesn't end it? [Thanks once again to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us answer this!]
• Your brother married a Ukrainian student who is in the country on a scholarship after knowing her for just few weeks, and now your family's playing detective on whether this whirlwind romance is the real deal — or a potential disaster waiting to happen. How do you balance your skepticism with support?
• You inherited an employee whose dementia is progressing, and now you're caught between compassion and company policy — trying to protect someone's dignity while managing real workplace challenges. What's the ethical playbook when someone's cognitive decline becomes impossible to ignore? [Thanks to HR professional Joanna Tate for helping us with this one!]
• Recommendation of the Week: Core Power Elite protein shake by Fairlife
• You run an affordable hearing aid business helping seniors, but you're terrified of being "pushy" when reaching out to senior centers or asking customers for referrals. Meanwhile, a financial advisor keeps hounding you for money and contacts. How do you promote your mission without feeling like a transactional robot — or worse, a smarmy salesperson?
