155: How to Work with People You Don’t Like or Respect | Feedback Friday

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: Teaching your kid how to play chess? Here's a simple way to keep them engaged without crushing their spirits or throwing a single game. When your line of work grants you even a minor level of celebrity, how do you express appreciation when you're recognized without succumbing to awkwardness? How can you work with someone you don't like or respect -- and ensure that you still like and respect yourself in the process? You've been selected to give a graduation speech in front of 2,500 people and want to crush it. What can you do to be as prepared as possible? Someone owns the Web domain you want, but they're not using it. What's the best way to negotiate for it or find a close alternative? When you're in a line of work that doesn't generate repeat customers, what's the best (and least tacky) way to ask for referrals from satisfied past customers? After following the Level One exercises and re-engaging contact with a former mentor, they seem resistant to a catch-up meeting. How might you offer value to make it worthwhile for them? Meeting new people and dating when you have a chronic illness presents numerous challenges, but the biggest might be: when is it appropriate to disclose your condition to a potential relationship partner? Life Pro Tip: Make yourself manually dial some of your more important contacts on occasion so you'll know their numbers if you're ever stuck without your phone. A quick shoutout to Cesar Millan and everyone at The Dog Psychology Center! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!

154: Brian Rose | An Honest Look in the Real View Mirror

Brian Rose (@LondonRealTV) is the Founder and Host of London Real, a live video talk show that introduces you to the most fascinating people in the world. What We Discuss with Brian Rose: The epiphany Brian had at the height of his "success" that made him step away and start from scratch. Why it's important to regularly question our dogmas and deconstruct our entrenched beliefs. The power of vulnerability and honesty. What to do when you find your past holding you back. Brian's Pull the Trigger Transformation System of goals, actions, and mentorship that will get you off your couch and racing (in his case, quite literally) toward serious achievement.

153: Adam Grant | How to Know the Real You Better

Adam Grant (@AdamMGrant) has been Wharton's top-rated professor for seven years, is the host of podcast WorkLife with Adam Grant, and is the author of three New York Times Best Sellers: Option B (with Sheryl Sandberg), Originals, and Give and Take. What We Discuss with Adam Grant: Why you probably don't know yourself as well as you think you do. Why you're prone to believe things about yourself that are patently false. How people closest to you benefit from reinforcing these falsehoods. Why the people who would most benefit from helping you see these falsehoods are the least likely to point them out. What you can do to become more accurately self-aware. And much more...

152: How to Cope with a Schizophrenic Neighbor | Feedback Friday

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: Your new neighbor's loud arguments and wild parties at all hours would be annoying enough if they involved multiple people, but the only person who ever seems to be in attendance is her. Should you be concerned enough to inform management -- or the police? When reconnecting with someone in your network (per our Level One exercises), how can you identify ways to add value to their goals? Long-time listeners would understand a covert contract from the contractor's side of things. But what do you do if you suspect someone has a covert contract out on you? Your newest roommate is a slob who pilfers your food and doesn't clean up after himself. What can you do to put your foot down without causing too much contention? With so much motivational and personal development advice being thrown around these days, how can you tell the difference between genuine self-help and utter bullcrap? Without succumbing to the formulaic elevator pitch, how can you politely introduce yourself and make an impression when you're in convenient proximity to your company's higher-ups and decision makers? How might a public school teacher who loves to teach supplement their painfully inadequate income? What thought exercises might help someone on the edge of burning out at their job decide whether to soldier on for the next few months to qualify for a bonus or just quit now and damn the consequences? Recommendation of the Week: FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened A quick shoutout to Heike Dunkel from Germany! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

151: Dave Asprey | Biohacking the Way to a Bulletproof Life

Dave Asprey (@bulletproofexec) is a self-described biohacker, CEO and founder of Bulletproof 360, Inc., host of the Bulletproof Radio podcast, and author of Game Changers, Head Strong, and The Bulletproof Diet. What We Discuss with Dave Asprey: How Bulletproof founder Dave Asprey biohacked himself from a 300-pound heart attack waiting to happen to 9.6 percent body fat. How a prenatal condition, bullying, a thyroid condition, and toxic mold collaborated to bring Dave's health to a point so low even his doctor couldn't help him. What is your immune system's "memory" forgetting, and what role does mitochondria play in how you feel? What does Dave believe are the top two causes of autoimmunity, and what can we do to guard ourselves when our body can't even identify the enemy? Why does Dave put butter in his coffee instead of milk or cream like normal people, and what's the difference between real Bulletproof coffee and what the small-town cafe on the other side of the world is trying to peddle as "Bulletproof" coffee?

146: How to Make Introductions Without Getting Burned | Feedback Friday

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: Advice for someone trying to transition into a new industry after a long time in their current, unrelated one. Your significant other always wants to shut the party down when all you want to do is go home where it's cozy and quiet. But is there a not-so-nefarious reason you haven't considered? You're paying down a massive college debt you incurred by preparing for a career you don't really like. How can you transit to another field that better suits you without going broke? Even though you're young and in an ideal relationship that already seems headed toward marriage, should an unexpected pregnancy hasten the occasion? When the coping mechanisms you use to help alleviate the burnout of your well-paying, long-term job are not keeping pace with the added stressors of that job, how do you test the waters of alternatives before it's too late? What's the real reason you can't seem to land a promotion at the company where you've worked forever? How do you best ensure an introduction between two mutually beneficial connections in your network doesn't get botched once it's out of your hands and in theirs?
