Chapter 1: What should I do about my father's denial of abuse?
Chapter 2: How can I recover funds from a fraudulent investment?
Totally, because listen, this stuff happens to all investors at some point. Basically, there's a saying in investing, timing the market is less important than time in the market. So this is also a terrific lesson for you as an investor and a relatively low stakes one. You're doing all of the macro stuff right. You're dollar cost averaging. You started investing early.
Don't sweat the micro stuff too much. You're not wildly gambling out there trying to regain your losses. You're doing all of the right stuff and you've hit a little speed bump. at five miles per hour too quickly, not a big deal in the scheme of things. This is not gonna be like, now I can't retire at age 65. That's not gonna happen to you.
So take the L, the very light L, figure out what you got wrong, learn, don't make this mistake next time, and I know you'll continue to succeed. Love that you're into taking such good care of yourself as well, and good luck.
One thing I learned, I did all kinds of crypto investments and funds and real estate and da-da-da, and then I just was like, you know what, screw it, index funds, man, because when you really compare all this stuff, If you are not hyper-interested and you don't have a financial manager, it's just better to get rid of all of this fancy stuff and invest in index funds.
By the way, this is not financial advice. This is just a little thing I've embraced in my own life. Set it and forget it. Don't spend your life thinking about how you can get a 0.1% higher return on whatever. Just don't make big mistakes. Have a good credit score so your mortgage isn't super high interest.
Stuff like that is going to be way better than trying to eke out an extra half percent return on a risky real estate platform that only exists online in Estonia. And I think he's learned that lesson.
But for everybody else out there, there's a reason that investment advice is generally put this in a S&P 500 and then go about your day and do it again every month for the rest of your life until you retire. That's good advice because it actually works. The returns are about as good as it gets. The end. You know who doesn't need our sponsor codes? The shady bastards who stole your money.
You, on the other hand, could probably use some of the deals and discounts on the fine products and services that support this show. We'll be right back. This episode is sponsored in part by Skims. Underwear is not something most guys think about until there's a problem. But for me, I hate it when they ride up or the waistband rolls. I'll leave it there.
So when I heard Skims was making underwear for men, I was definitely curious. Jen's been buying Skims for a while. She's always going on, oh, this is so comfortable. So I figured, all right, if they're bringing that magic over to the men's side, I am in. And man, they delivered. I tried the Skims cotton three-inch boxer briefs first right away.

Chapter 8: What is the impact of childhood trauma on adult life?
They're both very reasonably priced at rippedbody.com. They're really easy to read. There's drawings in there. All the concepts are really easy. Tells you the stuff that's important. And then he's like, here's how all this other stuff works. Basically, you can forget about it, worry about this one or two things. And so I did that.
And like I said, I lost 40 pounds of fat and I gained 10 or 20 pounds of muscle over the time that I was dieting. And I reread these books every year. I skim them. And if I'm gaining weight, I read that part. And if I'm losing weight, I reread that part. And I sent them to Jen and she read them. She's like, wow, I actually understand nutrition for the first time in my life.
So I highly recommend that if you're going to try to gain muscle or you're trying to lose weight, start at rippedbody.com. He offers coaching and stuff too, but honestly, just grab the books. It'll be a massively educational experience for you. Even if you already lift weights all the time, it's not about weightlifting.
It's about the food that you eat and how it all works in your body and why your body loses weight and loses muscle and keeps muscle. It's really interesting. And that's it. Rippedbody.com. We'll link to it in the show notes. Also, in case you didn't know, there's a subreddit for the show if you want to jump into discussions with other listeners about specific episodes or whatever.
If there was an episode you liked, an episode you didn't like, a lot of episode-specific conversations happening there. There's also memes and funny stuff and just general conversation that I think is really cool. It's all on the Jordan Harbinger subreddit. All right. Next up.
Dear Jordan and Gabe, Two years ago, I went through the most traumatic experience I could imagine. My wife of 15 years cheated on me and left me for another man. I watched her fall in love with this guy right in front of my face, all while she blamed literally everything on me. She took no accountability for her actions. To say that I was devastated would be an understatement.
Oh my god, my heart is racing hearing this. Oh my god. After a few minutes and further breaking down, I called a friend, gave him my pistol to hold on to, and went to visit my grandma four hours away, who, at the time, was dying of cancer.
I'm so glad that you did that, man. Way to listen to that voice telling you to stay alive. What a miracle. I am very proud of you, and I'm glad that you're with us. I'm sorry about your grandma.
Since then, I have gone to so much therapy, made new friends, and gotten new hobbies, and my relationship with my kids is better than it's ever been. I've accepted that I'm not the terrible person my ex-wife made me out to be. I'm truly living the best life I've ever lived. Incredible.
