Cesar Millan (@cesarmillan) is the internationally renowned master dog trainer known best as the Dog Whisperer, founder of the Dog Psychology Center, and best-selling author of Lessons From the Pack: Stories of the Dogs Who Changed My Life. What We Discuss with Cesar Millan: How Cesar Millan went from impoverished Sinaloan kid to homeless immigrant to world-famous Dog Whisperer.  What we can learn about communicating with dogs by understanding the priority of their senses compared to our own.

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Is your passively stoic expression (aka resting bitch face) getting you turned down for promotions? Here's some advice for turning down the Spock and cranking up the rock. How can you reduce stress and have a social life when your deadly serious job requires you to be on call 24/7/365? In trying new ways to strike up conversations without coming across as having a motive or being awkward, how do you spot the line you shouldn't cross? Are you missing out on life by not spending as much time and energy on your relationships and friendships in your 20s because you're so focused on personal development? For a year and a half, Your drug-abusing friend's been cut out of your life for ignoring the help you offered. Now he's in rehab and you don't feel much like re-engaging. Are you being selfish? You're understandably skittish about taking your dog out after he was attacked and severely injured by a bigger, unleashed dog.
