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:

You need to increase your salary so you can adequately provide for your family, but you're not sure your current employer will go for it. Is it time to let go of your dream job?
How can you ease the overwhelming loneliness of being on your own for the first time when you're anxious and miss your old life -- especially when the job that moved you to the big city just isn't as interesting as it used to be?
Can a man from a blue collar background and a woman who grew up used to the finer things in life build a life together that allows him to feel like a provider without disappointing her expectations?
When you're the youngest in a family business that isn't doing so well, how can you tell the other partners -- who once were your mentors and idols -- to level up their mindset and work ethics or else everything will crash and burn? Or is it just time for the family business to crash and burn?
What should you do about this habit you have of talking over people?
How can you promote yourself without, in weatherman parlance, sending the eye-rolling barometers into the storm zone?
How can you learn to have a fluid conversation with people when you're constantly feeling less than?

86: How to Handle an Accident in a Rental Car | Feedback Friday Aug 24, 2018

Show notes

Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason DeFillippo (@jpdef) banter every week and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday! Corbin Payne (@the_sue_chef) makes a cameo appearance in this one to help us cope with a bit of a legal pickle.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

You got a promotion only to accidentally discover that the person who does your old job makes more than you do now. Now how do you leverage for a real raise?

As a parent of young adults who carry the scars of trauma from your imperfect marriage to their other parent, how can you help them move through their current challenges?
Now that you followed the advice from Alex Kouts in our three-part negotiation series and landed a new job, your current coworkers are kind of cold toward you. How can you make your last two weeks with them bearable?
As a woman with a loud voice who punctuates her speech with spirited hand gestures in a male-dominated industry, how can you shed the all-too-common impression that you're somehow being unprofessional?
Advice and strategies for moving on to new pastures and developing new friendships after the beautiful realization that life doesn't revolve around drinking.
When your spouse is fired from the industry in which you both work but wants to make it seem like it was a voluntary move, how can you express support without being caught in an ass-biting, credibility-diminishing lie?
Who's at fault when someone crashes into your rental car, you've only been speaking the local language for five years, and the police believe the other guy's story? Resident Jordan Harbinger Show Legal Mind Corbin Payne weighs in.
Recommendation of the Week: Upgrade
