1201: Benjamin Bikman | Insulin Resistance Is Killing Half of America

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!

What it's like to endure and recover from a career-shattering scandal with the world watching. Fab's practical secrets to positivity. Why hasn't Fab aged in the past 30 years?

Annie Duke (@AnnieDuke) is a World Series poker champion, Ante Up for Africa co-founder, public speaker, and author of Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts. What We Discuss with Annie Duke: Thinking in Bets isn't really about poker -- and neither is this episode. Two things that determine the quality of our lives: the quality of our decisions and luck; we'll learn to understand the difference between the two. Common mistakes we make when evaluating decisions, namely something called resulting -- which all of us do -- which leads to worse decision quality over time. How we can become better belief calibrators, and why this helps us mitigate bias in our thinking and in our decision-making process. How Annie and other world champion poker players have formed decision-making pods with one another to help them get better at decision quality and strategy, and how you can do the same.
