On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Your elderly parents bought their dream retirement home to be closer to their grandchild, but their next-door neighbor's increasingly erratic behavior has turned their golden years into a nightmare of harassment and intimidation. How do you protect your parents without making things worse? You're in a prestigious high school choir group and your teacher is crossing boundaries — encouraging dating drama, trash-talking students, and making inappropriate requests. The situation keeps escalating, but you're worried about speaking up. What should you do? After divorcing your unfaithful ex who subsequently made a string of chaotic life choices, you're faced with a moral dilemma about enforcing court-ordered child support payments that could leave her homeless. Is revenge worth the collateral damage? You're trying to negotiate better pay for entry-level positions while juggling college, but employers seem resistant to standard negotiation tactics. Is there a secret playbook for when you're starting from zero? Recommendation of the Week: The Fidelity Debit Card You recently had a baby and got scammed by fake buyers who came to your home to "purchase" your photography equipment. Though you got an unexpected resolution, you're haunted by shame and self-doubt. Why do victims often blame themselves? Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

Full Episode
This episode is sponsored in part by Vital Proteins. I want to tell you about Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides. That's a mouthful. It's a daily supplement that supports your hair, skin, nails, bones, and joints all in one in one simple step each day. Collagen makes up about a third of the protein in our bodies, but as we hit our 30s, it unfortunately starts to decline.
That's when you might notice things aren't working quite like they used to. Your joints, your skin, maybe even your hair. Vital Proteins steps in to help keep those areas supported so you can stay active and keep doing what you love. Vital Proteins is the number one collagen peptide brand in the U.S., so they know what they're doing. It's super easy to take.
Just add a serving to your coffee, smoothie, even water. It doesn't even taste like anything, so it blends right in. The key is consistency. Making it a daily habit is how you see the benefits.

Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer, the soothing red fire retardant helping me douse the flames of these apocalyptic dumpster fires, Gabriel Mizrahi. Ooh, we don't use the R word anymore, bud. Ooh, my bad. The soothing crimson fire retardant helping me douse the flames of these apocalyptic dumpster fires. That's better.
Thank you. Good catch, Gabe. You got to keep a PC out here. I'd be canceled already if it weren't for you. On the Jordan Harbinger Show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker.
During the week, we have long-form conversations with a variety of amazing folks, from former cult members and arms dealers, rocket scientists and astronauts. This week, we had part two of my interview with Dr. Alok Kanoja, author of How to Raise a Healthy Gamer. We discussed mental illness, confidence, dating, culture, and communication. It's not just for gamers.
It's not just about parenting gamers. Really interesting show, as was our first round. That guy just has a ton of wisdom to share. Smart dude and great at delivering it. On Fridays, though, we share stories, take listener letters, offer advice, play obnoxious soundbites, and just generally fancy ourselves the first responders of the advice world. That's not inflated at all, is it?
Not narcissistic, even in the least. All right. Before we kick off, I want to share an exercise. that I've been doing when I'm facing a big problem. And it may be a problem that I can't really wrap my mind around.
