The Jordan Harbinger Show

Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason DeFillippo (@jpdef) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: When is a cheater no longer a cheater, and when is an addict no longer an addict? If you're going for quality connections over quantity, is meeting four people in two hours at a networking event reasonable? How do you set boundaries when a family member on hard times has overstayed their welcome in your home? Who'd have thought the parents at your kid's new school are more cliquish than their offspring? What can you do to win them over -- or should you? Because you didn't just wait until you were thirsty to dig the well -- you ate a spoonful of salt, too -- how can you recover from job instability when it already seems too late? If you're employed in a full time but unfulfilling job purely for the cash, when is it time to take your side hustle more seriously? Being the trustee of a family trust is hard enough without someone in your own family negotiating like a jerk for more than their fair share. So what would make the situation easier? Recommendation of the Week: The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts Quick shoutout to the guys who got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and listened to the show for three straight hours while waiting for the tow truck and discussed all of the topics!

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into identifying and overcoming imposter syndrome -- the sinking feeling that your accolades are unearned, your successes are undeserved, and you'll be discovered for the fraud you (think you) are at any moment by somebody -- anybody -- more qualified than you (which only seems to be everybody)! [Photo by Steve Lundqvist] What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: Why you're not alone in feeling pangs of imposter syndrome (or imposter experience or imposter phenomenon, depending on who you ask) -- it strikes nearly everyone (even elite athletes and military special forces) from time to time. How to tell the difference between true fraudulence and imposter syndrome -- and act accordingly. The three behaviors that should help you avoid feeling imposter syndrome but counterintuitively tend to reinforce it. The two common beliefs that invite imposter syndrome to visit most frequently. What you can learn from incidents of imposter syndrome to grow more resistant to its eerily convincing distortions of reality. And much more...

Dr. Matthew Walker (@sleepdiplomat) is Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California in Berkeley, founder and director of the Center for Human Sleep Science, and author of Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams. "The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life." -Dr. Matthew Walker What We Discuss with Matthew Walker: Why you're not lazy if you don't happen to be a morning person (it's genetic). What it means when you always seem to wake up right before your alarm. What's going on in your dreams (lucid or otherwise) and what can you learn from them? How to train yourself to go to sleep at the time that's ideal for you. Mistakes you're making that keep you from getting optimal results at bedtime. And much more...

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Your brother in law is a narcissist with a bad case of PLOM (Poor Little Old Me) Disease and is clearly in the mindset to cheat on your sister -- if he hasn't already. Is it your place to warn her even though it'll devastate the family? Is it your fault that you -- and the rest of your coworkers -- are always disappointing your boss because you never seem to be able to read her mind and discern her intentions? Using the networking skills we teach in Six-Minute Networking, how do you actively develop new contacts? When your current job was able to accommodate your needs in order to retain you, you had to renege on another job offer you had already accepted. How do you reach out to make peace and mend a bridge you never intended to burn? When you have an estranged parent who has only lied to you and disappointed you over the course of your entire life, how should you take their disclosure of a personal tragedy? After graduation, you'll have three months until you start your full-time job. Should you use the money you've saved up through college to travel for those three months, or should you use it to pay your student loans? You work in an office full of people who share political views that widely differ from your own. Should you put up with it quietly, offer your counterpoints, just pretend to agree with them to avoid friction, or look for a new job entirely? When you live in a country overrun by state-driven propaganda, what's the best way to stay informed of real current events so you can critically weigh the evidence and formulate your own views? Recommendation of the Week: Three Identical Strangers Quick shoutout to everyone who joined us at our live event in Las Vegas for Advanced Human Dynamics!  Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

Kristen Carney (@KristenCarney) is a comedian, writer, host of the Mentally Ch(ill) and Ask Women podcasts, and someone who publicly copes with -- as many silently do -- depression. What We Discuss with Kristen Carney: Understand why someone who seems to have it all on the outside might really be dying on the inside. Deal with the aftermath when someone close takes their own life -- even when part of you empathizes with their reasons. Be your own champion: reach out to your family and friends who support you through the highs and lows before you're at your wit's end. How the Internet has exacerbated suicidal tendencies since the '90s. Why comparing our blooper reel to the highlight reel of others will always lead to our downfall. And much more...

David Buss (@ProfDavidBuss) is considered the world's leading scientific expert on the evolutionary psychology of human mating strategies. He is the author of several books on the subject, most recently The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating. What We Discuss with David Buss: How dating apps work and what they're doing to our brains. Mate-switching strategies: why affairs happen and the mechanisms at play. How we can track our own mate value to keep our relationships strong and secure. Why mating strategies tend to be universal even if their cultural variations seem to suggest otherwise. Why a vacation with your partner is a good stress-test for seeing what might be in store for your future together. And much more...

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Is partaking of a small amount of marijuana in the evening akin to relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day, or are you just lying to yourself in order to justify an unhealthy addiction? Also: is it worth the risk if it's not legal in your area? How do you become essential to a fast-growing company that has so much to offer your career among a peer group with a competitive but respectful corporate spirit? How do you navigate the chain of command without stepping on toes when you know your boss' boss is more competent than your boss and prefer to work with her when something needs to be done? You're naturally shy and don't have much contact with your old friends these days. How do you work up the courage to go out and meet people who have the potential to be your new friends? You've graduated from high school and now you're in a gap year before you go to college. You've been offered a management position at your current job, but it would further delay your college plans. Should you take the opportunity for promotion, or stick with your plan to start school next year? Are you crazy for wanting to transition away from a well-paying job with great benefits toward a sustainable digital nomad lifestyle -- especially when you and your wife are planning to raise a family? Is the idea of going back to college your solution for being unable to cope with the stress of your challenging job, or are you just not adjusting to being the low person on the totem pole?

Freeway Rick Ross (@FreewayRicky) managed a billion-dollar drug empire in the age of Iran-Contra, now helps rebuild at-risk communities, and is featured in the Emmy-nominated documentary Freeway: Crack in the System. What We Discuss with Freeway Rick Ross: How Rick went from a tennis scholarship track in high school to a young adulthood making cocaine appealing and affordable for a growing urban clientele. The escalation of Rick's business model thanks to an immensely helpful Nicaraguan connection during the Reagan administration. Why Rick wished he had more hours a day in prison -- a place where most people are just looking to kill time. The story behind the ex-prison guard rapper who uses Rick's name and why he's legally allowed to do so. How Rick overcame illiteracy later in life and the must-read books he recommends for anyone with (legal) entrepreneurial ambitions. And much more...
