Brian Scudamore (@BrianScudamore) pioneered the industry of professional junk removal with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? at age 18, scaled that success into three more home-service brands, and is the author of WTF?! (Willing to Fail): How Failure Can Be Your Key to Success. What We Discuss with Brian Scudamore: How Brian turned a trash removal business that began with a $700 investment into an international, multimillion dollar service franchise. The $29 gimmick Brian used to prove to his franchise partners they didn't need to spend big bucks on traditional marketing tactics to get their small business known. Why high school dropout Brian didn't sell his business and retire in his 20s -- even when competitors offered him millions of dollars. Brian's WTF (willing to fail) philosophy that has allowed him to harness the smaller failures along the way to avoid ultimate catastrophe in the long run (with examples). Practical exercises you can use -- for entrepreneurship as well as personal enrichment -- to similarly WTF your way forward. And much more...

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: Recently, your daughter's 15-year-old friend got pregnant. Should you keep your daughter away from her? With inoperable stage four pancreatic cancer, your father may not have long to live. How can you fill his remaining time with purpose? How can you be comfortable around someone who seemingly reads your mind by body language, microexpressions, and tonality? While you want to open up around others, social events have you in the corner hiding inside your shell. How can you coax yourself out to mingle? You're in your 30s and you can keep working locally at a safe, consistent job that pays well, but you're really yearning for a chance to live and work abroad. A few years from now, which choice are you most likely to regret not making? The company where you've worked for 15 years has expanded and you'd like to keep working for it -- but on the other side of the country. Should you keep this to yourself until your plans are more concrete, or should you tell your local office boss as soon as possible? You're moving from California to the UK on a plane and you're wisely taking your cat with you in the cabin. But she can be loud when she's nervous; what happens if you wind up sitting next to someone who hates cats? What's the protocol? You knew someone who could have helped you redirect your career momentum, but you've let the connection lapse and now you feel awkward about reconnecting. Is it too late to reach out? Life Pro Tip: Whenever you recall a painfully embarrassing memory, imagine the Seinfeld theme playing over it. Recommendation of the Week: Bohemian Rhapsody A quick shoutout to Jamie Sparks!

Clint Watts (@selectedwisdom) is a Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, a Senior Fellow at the Center For Cyber and Homeland Security at The George Washington University, and author of Messing with the Enemy: Surviving in a Social Media World of Hackers, Terrorists, Russians, and Fake News. What We Discuss with Clint Watts: How our own cognitive biases are manipulated in an effort to destabilize trust in each other and our very way of life. How hostile entities like ISIS use social media for propaganda and recruitment. Why Western governments can't, even with their relatively infinite wealth of resources, beat ragtag Somali Twitter pirates and ISIS shills. How bias creates social media bubbles, what forms they take, and why this is dangerous. How we can fix these issues or at least mitigate the effect they have on our lives. And much more...

Charlamagne's early memories of dealing with anxiety before he knew it had a name, and how it shaped his world view.

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: You accidentally sent your roommate a message meant for someone else in which you were indirectly complaining about them. Is there a way to gracefully recover from this faux pas? Even though you seem to hit it off when meeting new people, you can't seem to form close friendships and make them stick. What's missing from the formula? As a young couple about to embark on a life of wedded bliss, what's the fairest way to handle finances from the start -- especially when one person makes considerably more money? Here's Jordan's strategy for investing money with compound interest. If you could ask only one question of a person you perceive to be successful, what would it be -- and from Jordan's perspective as an interviewer, how should you ask it? What are some unexpected things you can encounter when moving to a new city -- especially when you feel like you haven't prepared enough in advance for the changes immediately ahead? What's the best way to heat up cold contacts into bona fide network connections? Is it worth it to stay at your current job for another eight years to secure your retirement finances, or is now the time to take on your own business venture? Though you relocated three years ago for a job you still consider decent, you miss family and friends back home. What are the pros and cons of moving back now? Life Pro Tips: [Jason] Treat the halfway point on your gas tank as empty. [Jordan] Use Rebump for a 33 percent better response rate with your emails.

How to creatively negotiate from a standpoint that you can get people what they really need -- even when they don't know what that need might be.

Mike Posner (@MikePosner) is a musician, poet, record producer, and singer-songwriter responsible for hits like Cooler Than Me and I Took a Pill in Ibiza. What We Discuss with Mike Posner: Can two grown men who went to rival high schools as teenagers make nice on a podcast? How experiencing fame and fortune forced Mike Posner to reexamine his values -- and why he's glad it happened to him early in life. How Mike's lifestyle changed from a focus on fame, money, and materialism to one centered around self-care, creativity, and motivation. Why Mike looks at success and failure as waves that tend to follow one another -- not states of guaranteed permanence. Is Mike walking from sea to shining sea on his own two feet in an effort to prove that this Groves Falcon is way better than any Seaholm Maple could ever be? And much more...

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: What's the best way to deal with inconsiderate seatmates on an airplane? How do you conscientiously create social media content that doesn't inflict FOMO on others? Do you stay at your stable job that gives you more time with your family, or take the stressful, time-consuming job at the startup for the chance to make more money? You've been a counsellor for 15 years and want to transition to working online. Do you need to be really narrow with your audience, or can you reach out to people on a broader spectrum? You started therapy for acute to moderate generalized anxiety disorder recently. But should you disclose this to your employer? You've been running your own business for three years and finally had to hire some help. Is it wise that the first employee also happens to be your spouse? Gossipy coworkers have been spreading untrue rumours about you, and now it's affecting how others treat you at the office. How can you best put a stop to this?

Kevin Barrows is a former FBI special agent who now conducts traditional corporate fraud investigations, reputation risk and due diligence efforts, and supervises computer forensic and computer crime assignments for Renaissance Associates. What We Discuss with Kevin Barrows: Why conducting a successful interview is an art that requires establishing credibility, understanding motivation, employing psychology, assessing body language, and listening. Why approaching a witness at an inconvenient time, in the wrong place, or in the wrong way can ruin an interview before it gets started. How to quickly identify the motivation of the person being interviewed. How to make the truth the only option for the person being interviewed. How to create and execute a game plan to get to that truth -- whether it's with our spouse, our kids, or our colleagues and employees. And much more...
