Jordan (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason (@jpdef) are joined by "Brutal" Linda Carroll (@Lovecycleslinda) for this round of 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: How do you tell your friend he talks so much that other people don't want to be around him? And could there be underlying issues for his incessant jibber jabber? Is resenting your spouse just one symptom of living a life that seems out of your control? What does it mean to be a victim, and how can you start regaining control? It seems like you have most of the trappings of a fulfilling life -- so why are you too depressed to enjoy any of it? What's really missing from the equation? Is it possible your significant other -- who takes you for granted, talks down to you, and doesn't appreciate or attempt to reciprocate the effort you put into the relationship -- is just a jerk? Why did the person you're dating wait to tell you a few months into the relationship that she doesn't believe in monogamy? What's the next step to take when a volatile and potentially suicidal loved one constantly cries out to you for help but never follows the advice you try to give them? Recommendation of the Week: The Americans Quick shoutouts to John from Elcott City and Tom Bilyeu and his Impact Theory Fans! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

Make sure to check out his weekly podcast: Big Questions with Cal Fussman. What We Discuss with Cal Fussman: How November 22, 1963 got a young Cal to start asking big questions. How Cal learned to build rapport fast during a decade of travel. What creates and maintains the kind of curiosity that drives an epic interview. Cal's approach to interviewing and how it differs from that of a journalist. Why listening is actually an art form and how we can hone our skills to get the best out of others and ourselves.

Shane Snow (@shanesnow) is an award-winning entrepreneur and journalist, board member of The Hatch Institute, Founder at Large at Contently, and author of Dream Teams: Working Together Without Falling Apart. What We Discuss with Shane Snow: Why our differences allow us to become better together, but they almost always lead us to fear or fighting instead. How we can develop cognitive flexibility to become better problem solvers -- alone or as part of a group. How watching two to eight hours of fictional television per week can make us measurably open-minded. Why cognitive friction is the secret ingredient of breakthrough teams. The missing virtue of intellectual humility, how it can change everything about the way we interact and work -- and how to get more of it. 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: If you're a DJ networking with other DJs, what's the smoothest way to ask them to check out one of your tracks or demos without coming off as that guy? Is your dislike for a coworker's rude table manners and loud chewing something you should just get over, or is there a polite way to bring it to his attention? Have we ever done an interview that wasn't good enough to air for some reason or another -- and if so, how did we break the news to the guest? Is social laziness a real thing? How can you best tell others to piss off without alienating or offending them? Is it right for an ex's significant other to request they cut ties with you? How can you stay motivated to continue your studies after an academic hiatus? Recommendation of the Week: Evil Genius Quick shoutouts to Brooke and Amanda!

Alex Banayan (@alexbanayan) is the author of The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World's Most Successful People Launched Their Careers, which chronicles his seven-year quest tracking down icons from Bill Gates to Lady Gaga to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers. What We Discuss with Alex Banayan: What Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, Steven Spielberg, Maya Angelou, Steve Wozniak, and Jane Goodall all have in common. The role of luck in success (it's probably not what you think). Why mentors are important (and the mistakes people make when trying to find one). How you can reach out to potential mentors even if you don't have a connection in common to make the introduction. How Alex hacked The Price Is Right to fund this book venture and his speaking career. And much more...

Nir Eyal (@nireyal) helps teams design more engaging products as demonstrated in his book Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products, and shows us how we can break away from the distraction of this engagement if it's not serving us. What We Discuss with Nir Eyal: The never-ending struggle between traction and distraction. How variable rewards are used to keep you glued to social media like B.F. Skinner's lab pigeons. How to ensure you're moving closer to your goals even if your daily activities include what might, on the surface, seem like tangents. Triggers that cause you to lose your way and how to program your environment to avoid and mitigate these triggers. Why you're not really addicted to technology -- and why it's dangerous to say you are. And much more...

Jordan (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason (@jpdef) are back to banter every week and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday on The Jordan Harbinger Show! 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: How do you stop yourself from freezing up when it's time for a difficult conversation -- or sugar-coating the point you're trying to make beyond recognition? How can you change the atmosphere from just hanging out with a friend to a date? You're improving yourself while your friends are content to get high and play video games all day. Can you help them up, or will they just drag you down? Do your friends really want to be friends with you? Should you accept the life-changing dream job offer even though it's just seasonal, or stick with the job you hate until you can finish college? If you've been self-employed for most of your life, how do you make the transition to working for others -- especially when you're your only solid reference? When you're the soft-spoken one in the group, how can you assert enough presence to remain visible and part of the conversation? You and your friend started a project years ago, and he's since slacked in his responsibilities despite repeated promises to resume. How can you outsource his job -- or get him to take his job seriously -- without offending him? Recommendation of the Week: Tickled Quick shoutouts to the San Francisco CastBox team and Steve Davis!
