You can't make up for a lost time when it comes to relationships. Liking is one of the universal principles of influence because it works so well and so broadly across all these situations. Expect the best from people that you're dealing with, especially if they reciprocate your generosity. Don't get angry about not being able to do something as soon as you'd like. And don't forget to check out the episode with Adam Bornstein on next week's show.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
- Hey! Where the heck has David C. Smalley been?
- An underage girl discovered her stepfather sent himself copies of her nude photos when he confiscated her phone, and now she's got to spend time alone with him when her mother goes out of town for a few weeks. What should she do?
- Marrying into a family and its business — which you've been told your spouse will eventually take over — has you wondering how to ensure your own financial security if it turns out other relatives want a piece of the business somewhere down the line.
- After suffering a brain injury in a terrible car accident, many aspects of your personality have changed — including a fresh perspective about how your dysfunctional family and the religious cult in which you were raised have been neglectful and abusive. How should the "new" you face the future?
- You've been waiting for nearly a decade to exit an unhappy marriage until your youngest kid turns 18, which will happen soon. Unfortunately, you and your spouse work in a full-time religious ministry, and divorce will mean dismissal, loss of income, disappointing the family and community, and surfacing of past transgressions you'd rather not revisit. What's your least disastrous path forward?
- How do you effectively network without feeling like some kind of manipulative phony?
