Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1168 [https://jordanharbinger.com/1168] On This Week's Feedback Friday: * Gabe makes his own deodorant from a secret family recipe, because of course he does! * Think you've heard a problem solved here that sounds a little too familiar? We promise our dooze is crafted 100% fresh despite being bound by the mundanity of the human condition. * Your brother destroyed your family with false accusations, your dad died by suicide, and now you're terrified of having kids because what if they inherit the same darkness? You're caught between wanting a biological child and fearing you'll create another monster. Can you break the cycle, or are some genes just too dangerous to pass on? * You got into grad school in Texas — a dream come true! But your boyfriend's parents are treating your exciting move like you're literally kidnapping their son to a foreign war zone. They won't even look at you anymore, and suddenly family dinners feel like hostage negotiations. How do you chase your dreams when love feels like betrayal? * A debt collector is hunting you for money you don't owe, for a person you're not, living at an address you've never seen. They won't answer calls, won't stop emailing, and threaten to destroy your credit score over someone else's Verizon bill. Can you escape this Kafkaesque nightmare before it ruins your financial future? * You landed your dream law school acceptance, but your timing couldn't be worse — budget cuts are coming, and your departure will leave your beloved colleagues scrambling. They threw you a surprise bridal shower, and now you have to break their hearts with your secret. How do you chase your future without burning bridges to your past? * Recommendation of the Week: Never dumping medication in the toilet or sink! * Your meth-head ex-husband can't even manage to pay child support — his mommy does it for him. When she apologized for being late this month, you couldn't resist a snarky dig about whose responsibility it really is. Your own mother says you were rude, but shouldn't deadbeat dads face consequences? When does gratitude become enabling? * Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

Get Honest or Die Lying [https://www.amazon.com/dp/1982173793/?tag=jordanharbing-20] author Charlamagne Tha God is here for a big conversation about how small talk destroys meaningful connection in modern society. Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1167 [https://jordanharbinger.com/1167] What We Discuss with Charlamagne Tha God: * Unhealed trauma drives destructive behavior. Charlamagne emphasizes that people project their pain onto others when they haven't done the internal work to heal themselves. * Small talk is BS that delays meaningful connection. Instead of surface pleasantries, be intentional and get straight to what you actually want to discuss. * Via ever-present smartphones, social media creates verbally abusive relationships. The constant negativity and opinion overload damages mental health, so curating or avoiding it protects peace. * Success amplifies who you already are rather than changing you. If you have unhealed trauma and a wounded ego, money and fame will make those problems worse, not better. * Finding worthiness eliminates imposter syndrome. When you realize you're in your position because you're meant to be there and walking in your purpose, self-doubt disappears. * And much more...

Coach Andy Morgan helped Jordan achieve his best shape at 45. Here, he reveals why the fitness industry profits from keeping people confused and fat. Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1166 [https://jordanharbinger.com/1166] What We Discuss with Andy Morgan: * Believing he was taking in "only vegetables," Jordan discovered he was eating 3000+ calories daily. Food tracking revealed hidden calories in sauces, snacks, and forgotten foods that sabotaged his weight loss efforts. * Exercise burns only five to ten percent of daily calories — diet control is far more efficient for weight loss. You can undo an hour of cardio with one small coffeehouse snack because you can't, as they say, "outrun your mouth." * Most fitness advice is profitable nonsense designed to grab attention. Fad diets like keto, intermittent fasting, and carnivore all work by disguising simple calorie restriction with complex rules. * Scale weight fluctuates three to four pounds from water, salt, and gut content — not fat gain. Understanding this prevents people from quitting after one "bad" meal appears to undo weeks of progress. * To begin a sustainable fitness regimen, weigh food for just two or three days using a kitchen scale and tracking app like Macro Factor. You'll learn more about nutrition in one week than years of guessing — and it becomes automatic. * And much more...

Can you outsmart their legal chess game before losing your children forever? * You're a 62-year-old gay man married to someone you've never been physically attracted to, both secretly using Grindr, until a passionate affair forces an impossible choice. Will you risk everything comfortable for uncertain love? * You left your dream job for a prestigious role with someone you admired, only to discover broken promises, micromanagement hell, and career stagnation.

Spies use psychology to recruit traitors and build deep connections. Here, former spy Julian Fisher reveals the authentic art of strategic influence. Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1164 [https://jordanharbinger.com/1164] What We Discuss with Julian Fisher: * Authenticity is paradoxical in espionage. Spies must be genuine people to build real trust, yet they also lie about their identity. This contradiction requires exceptional self-awareness and emotional intelligence. * Quality relationships beat quantity networking. Meaningful connections with targeted individuals who can help achieve specific goals are far more valuable than collecting hundreds of superficial contacts. * Personality profiling reveals deeper insights. Understanding someone's background, struggles, and journey tells you more about who they really are than just their job title or surface-level information. * Preparation and homework create connection. Researching someone's interests and referencing them naturally (like Julian's football gambit in Zimbabwe) can instantly shift dangerous situations into opportunities. * Walk to important meetings for mental clarity. A 20-minute walk before crucial conversations clears mental baggage, stimulates creativity, and helps you arrive fully present and focused. * And much more...
