Jason Khalipa (@JasonKhalipa) is a CrossFit Games world champion, the founder of NCFIT, and author of As Many Reps As Possible. What We Discuss with Jason Khalipa: You don't have to start out with "The Right Stuff" to accomplish great things. Is your confidence earned or perceived? Are you surrounding yourself with the right connections to succeed? Are you just talking about the things you want to do, or are you taking actionable steps to accomplish them? Can you take a joke and use it to make your life better? Jason Khalipa has -- and he can tell you how. And much more...

Is there a secret technique to packing and traveling with wrinkle-free professional clothes? Even though you've rebuilt your life since spending two years in prison, you worry that people will find out about your past. How can you own it? When is it appropriate to explore medicine for depression versus continuing to make life changes?

Kai-Fu Lee (@kaifulee) is a venture capitalist, technology executive, and author of AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order. What We Discuss with Kai-Fu Lee: Why the advent of AI is as important as the Industrial Revolution. The AI Superpowers that are competing to shape the nature of our future. How soon we can expect artificial intelligence (AI) to drastically disrupt the jobs we take for granted today.

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us to deep dive into the elusive subject of purpose -- why you’re not finding it as easily as the so-called experts say you should be, and why you should be following meaning to purpose instead of picking a purpose and hoping it’s full of meaning. [Featured image by Smart] What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: The difference between purpose and meaning. Why reverse-engineering meaning from purpose is harder (and far less effective) than finding purpose through meaning. What an ER nurse taught Gabriel about the surprising ways meaning can manifest. Why you should be suspicious of what The Cult of Purpose is trying to sell you. The best ways to naturally follow meaning to purpose without forcing an expectation of what that purpose is.

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: If there's such a thing as remorseful flirtation, how should you feel to be on the receiving end of it? As old-timers who have already been there and done that, how do we recommend you live your twenties to their fullest? The management at your current job barely acknowledges you and it's time to move on. Is it appropriate in this case to give notice by email? Will setting boundaries for your narcissistic sibling have any positive effect on your relationship, or should you just cut th

Spencer Greenberg (@SpencrGreenberg) is a mathematician, entrepreneur, and founder of Clearer Thinking, a website that trains people to overcome their own biases and make better decisions rationally. What We Discuss with Spencer Greenberg: Common logical fallacies and concepts like black and white thinking, cherry picking, straw man arguments, and the typical mind fallacy. How these logical fallacies can be so powerfully persuasive even in the face of contrary evidence, and why they inhibit our thinking and keep us from getting closer to the truth. How to spot cognitive bias in ourselves and others -- and in the sources we choose to inform us about the outside world. How we can improve our critical thinking, cut through these faulty arguments and biases, and separate fact from fiction with logic over emotion. Practical tools that allow us to cultivate clearer thinking for these often cloudy times. And much more... Sign up for Six-Minute Networking -- our free networking and relationship development min

How to spot the narcissists and predators in your midst before they spot you as a clueless opportunity. What to do if you find you're already being wrapped up in the deceitful webs of these dangerous personalities and how to disentangle yourself from them. Why you often let misguided social programming override your natural instincts to sniff out the bad behavior of people in your life and how to tune into those instincts again. The best first step in arming yourself against the actions of predators and narcissists in your life -- whether they're bully bosses or abusive spouses. And mu

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: You're at a new job and they've already pegged you as the "quiet" one. But what do they really mean? How do you find a tribe of like-minded, growth-oriented people who don't seem like they're part of some motivational cult? After so many "we should hang outs" without follow-ups, should you just accept that a best friend isn't in the cards for you at this point? With a full-time job, supportive g

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: Are once-friendly people really avoiding you for some unknown reason, or is their perceived lack of interaction largely in your own socially anxious head? When you're young and in long-distance love but also looking for a new career path, should you follow your heart and move closer to your sweetheart or follow your head and pursue local educational opportunities in your chosen field? What's the most graceful way to turn down a retention bonus without sending a

Srini Rao (@unmistakableceo) is the host and founder of the Unmistakable Creative podcast and author of An Audience of One: Reclaiming Creativity for Its Own Sake. What We Discuss with Srini Rao: How an ADHD diagnosis in his mid-twenties and the inability to hold down a real job forced Srini to develop his own tools and systems for harnessing creativity and boosting production. Why expressing your creativity on a regular basis -- even when it's done without the intention of reaching an audience or being commercially successful -- can be incredibly beneficial to every area of your life. Research shows that being creative can actually make you happier, help you recover from trauma, and increase your productivity. How you can cultivate your own creativity even if you're the type of person who thinks you don't have any to begin with. Why you don't have to be a creative genius or successful artist to take advantage of the creativity-happiness connection. And much more... Privacy.com allows you to generate a new

Chris "Drama" Pfaff (@dramadrama) is a former reality TV personality, host of the Short Story Long Podcast, and founder of streetwear clothing line Young and Reckless. What We Discuss with Chris Pfaff: Why Chris decided to take his skateboard from suburban Akron -- where escaped cows made the evening news -- to Los Angeles, where high-speed car chases barely raise eyebrows. What it's taken so far for Chris to make it in today's cutthroat fashion business climate -- especially when he has to work twice as hard to overcome what others expect from his "dumb" reality TV persona. How to stay tenacious -- like someone raised in the Midwest -- when you fail over and over again. Why sometimes running a business -- even something as fun and exciting as a top-level streetwear brand -- can be more of a curse than a blessing. How Chris feels about regretting something he has done versus reg

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: When is a cheater no longer a cheater, and when is an addict no longer an addict? If you're going for quality connections over quantity, is meeting four people in two hours at a networking event reasonable? How do you set boundaries when a family member on hard times has overstayed their welcome in your home? Who'd have thought the parents at your kid's new school are more cliquish than their offspring? What can you do to win them over -- or should you? Because you didn't just wait until you were thirsty to dig the well -- you ate a spoonful of salt, too -- how can you recover from job instability when it alre

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into identifying and overcoming imposter syndrome -- the sinking feeling that your accolades are unearned, your successes are undeserved, and you'll be discovered for the fraud you (think you) are at any moment by somebody -- anybody -- more qualified than you (which only seems to be everybody)! [Photo by Steve Lundqvist] What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: Why you're not alone in feeling pangs of imposter syndrome (or imposter experience or imposter phenomenon, depending on who you ask) -- it strikes nearly everyone (even elite athletes and military special forces) from time to time. How to tell the difference between true fraudulence and imposter syndrome -- and act accordingly. The three behaviors that should help you avoid feeling imposter syndrome but counterintuitively tend to reinforce it. The two common beliefs that invite imposter syndrome to visit most frequently. What you can learn from incidents of imposter syndrome to grow more resist

What it means when you always seem to wake up right before your alarm. What's going on in your dreams (lucid or otherwise) and what can you learn from them? How to train yourself to go to sleep at the time that's ideal for you. Mistakes you're making that keep you from getting optimal results at bedtime. And much more...

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Your brother in law is a narcissist with a bad case of PLOM (Poor Little Old Me) Disease and is clearly in the mindset to cheat on your sister -- if he hasn't already. Is it your place to warn her even though it'll devastate the family? Is it your fault that you -- and the rest of your coworkers -- are always disappointing your boss because you never seem to be able to read her mind and discern her intentions? Using the networking skills we teach in Six-Minute Networking, how do you actively develop new contacts? When your current job was able to accommodate your needs in order to retain you, you had to renege on

Kristen Carney (@KristenCarney) is a comedian, writer, host of the Mentally Ch(ill) and Ask Women podcasts, and someone who publicly copes with -- as many silently do -- depression. What We Discuss with Kristen Carney: Understand why someone who seems to have it all on the outside might really be dying on the inside. Deal with the aftermath when someone close takes their own life -- even when part of you empathizes with their reasons. Be your own champion: reach out to your family and friends who support you through the highs and lows before you're at your wit's end. How the Internet has exacerbated suicidal tendencies since the '90s. Why comparing our blooper reel to the highlight reel of others will always lead to our downfall. And much more...
