Can we cultivate the likability that accompanies popularity without yielding to its status-seeking negatives? Popular author Mitch Prinstein weighs in!

The dangers of seeking status. How can we escape the popularity trap? And much more...

Now let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: A bit of good news to report: 30 victims of human trafficking were recently rescued by episode 833 guests Nathan Paul Southern and Lindsey Kennedy! Should you alert a newlywed to the fact that her husband slept in your bed after neglecting to inform you he was even married? Is it worth exiting your current relationship to give the BPD-afflicted ex with whom you're trauma-bonded another shot now that she claims to be getting the help she's always needed?

Are you in the wrong for wanting to attend his adult son's wedding, even though the (perhaps rightfully) bitter ex will be in attendance?

You're aiming for a job that's out of this world, but should you settle for bringing your dreams back down to Earth for better work/life balance? Is it overstepping boundaries to strongly hint to your sickly but stoic co-worker's adult kids that they should cherish every moment they can spend with him while they still can?

How high are the geopolitical and technological stakes in the international struggle for semiconductor supremacy? Chip War author Chris Miller chimes in! What We Discuss with Chris Miller: Semiconductors, commonly known as semis or chips, are essential components in thousands of products such as computers, smartphones, appliances, gaming hardware, medical equipment, and military technology. How superconductors evolved to become so crucial to our modern infrastructure. The intricacies of semiconductor manufacturing -- from their complex operation to the resources required to create them -- mean the countries that can produce the most advanced chips have a strategic advantage on the world stage. Taiwan is currently the leader in this field. Why China, despite investing heavily in semiconductor technology, is always playing catch-up with the rapid pace of Western-influenced technological advancement -- and what underhanded steps it might take to slow this pace to its advantage. What the recently passed CHIPS and Science Act will likely mean for semiconductor research and manufacturing jobs in the United States. And much more...

Now let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: You can't be envious of what someone else has without considering the unenviable parts of their story you'd prefer to avoid. The reputation you've spent your professional life building is threatened by association with your cocaine-addicted friend. Which relationship is worth saving? You seem to be condemned to a life of working for crappy bosses. What can you do to break this undesirable pattern? You're 41 years old, and — for no reason that's ever been made clear — you've been estranged from your older sister and her family for about 15 years. How can you (and should you) seek reconnection? You and your wife are good at conversing with strangers and close friends, but you find it challenging to talk to people you've only met a few times and remember details about their lives. How can you remember or tactfully re-ask questions about things you should already know? What do you do when a troubled ex's suicide threatens the new love you're trying to cultivate?

How does a Danish ex-con wind up as a secret agent dealing arms in North Korea? Jim Latrache (aka Mr. James from The Mole) reveals all here! What We Discuss with Jim Latrache: What compels a poor Danish kid like Jim Latrache to join the French Foreign Legion, and was it everything he expected it to be? How did Jim get wrapped up in the cocaine trafficking business, what rationalizations allowed him to carry on guilt-free, and what lessons did he learn along the way? What put Jim's drug dealing empire in the crosshairs of the police, and how did he spend his 5.5-year prison sentence once the law caught up with him? Why was Jim seen as an ideal candidate for gathering intelligence in North Korea despite being an obvious outsider, what dangers did he face once there, and how did his years of risk pay off? As remarkable as Jim's story is, it shows how even the most unlikely people can make a difference in the world. And much more...
