On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
- Your niece found evidence that her father (your brother-in-law) is having an affair, putting you in an impossible position between family loyalty and moral responsibility. What do you do when every choice seems destined to hurt someone you care about, and the consequences could reshape your family forever?
- You're teaching a college course where student feedback suggests you're failing them with your outdated teaching methods and questionable content. As enrollment numbers plummet and department chairs circle, you face a choice between defending your academic freedom and adapting to modern educational expectations.
- You've always dreamed of inheriting your grandmother's charming house, but family complications and your cousin's competing claim have turned this potential windfall into a battlefield of resentment. As inheritance negotiations intensify, you're discovering what truly matters might not be the property itself.
- You've realized you no longer love your wife after years of marriage, leaving you torn between honesty that could devastate her and a lifetime of emotional deception. As you contemplate separation, unexpected revelations force you to question everything you thought you knew about love, commitment, and what you really want.
- Recommendation of the Week: Let a stranger know how they've had a positive impact on you. (Witness this in action at the next point!)
- You were struggling with severe depression and contemplating ending your life when you discovered The Jordan Harbinger Show, which unexpectedly became your lifeline during your darkest moments. The insights and perspectives you gained through listening gradually pulled you back from the edge and transformed your outlook on life. After helping a few of your friends find their way through their own struggles, you’re looking to galvanize the urge for improvement in others. What can you do? [All of us here at the show are humbled and appreciate you for sharing your journey with us!]

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with my Feedback |
| 0:08.0 | Friday producer, the guy who knew this was coming back, the guy who's Kalulu and my Delulu, |
| 0:12.8 | Gabriel Mizrahi. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills are the |
| 0:17.2 | world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice |
| 0:20.8 | that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. Our mission is to help you become a |
| 0:25.7 | better informed, more critical thinker, and during the week, we have long-form conversations |
| 0:29.8 | with a variety of amazing folks from neuroscientists, Russian chess grandmasters, tech moguls, |
| 0:35.6 | tech luminaries, and astronauts. This week, we had Scott Payne |
| 0:38.6 | back on the show for a round two. We talked about his undercover work with white power gangs. A lot of what |
| 0:44.1 | he said actually was new for me. Turns out the KKK is still around, which kind of surprised me, |
| 0:48.3 | among other things. There's also gangs called accelerationists, which just want the whole world to burn, |
| 0:52.6 | which, you know, maybe they're winning. I don't know. We also had a skeptical Sunday last Sunday on hangover cures. On Fridays, |
| 0:58.3 | though, we share stories, take listener letters, offer advice, play obnoxious soundbites, and dole out |
| 1:03.0 | presumptuous advice to you folks, like a couple of busybody Lidias. Before we begin, something I've |
| 1:08.9 | been thinking about lately, a lot of great opportunities get wasted |
| 1:13.3 | chasing the idea of slightly better ones. For example, would your career be more successful |
| 1:19.4 | if you had taken that other job or you'd moved to a different city? Maybe. I think about this a lot |
| 1:24.6 | actually just for myself, but the job you have now will definitely suffer |
| 1:28.9 | if you don't give it 100% of your focus and your effort. Would you be 10% happier or more in |
| 1:34.2 | some other relationship other than the one that you're in, whether it's or friendship, whatever |
| 1:38.9 | it is? Maybe, who knows, but you're definitely going to be unhappy in your relationships |
