Now you're wondering where private ends and dishonest begins.</strong></li><li><strong>You've always been great at interviews, but since having kids, you've been the runner-up four times.</strong> Hiring managers keep telling you it was out of your control, that someone else just had a specific edge. <strong>You're the common denominator</strong>, though, and <strong>you know there's something you can sharpen. Where's the move from <em>almost</em> to <em>absolutely</em>?</strong></li><li>You've always wondered how Jordan rattles off "that was episode 1192" mid-flow — is it prep, memory, or magic? And how much of his real-time outrage at a letter is genuine vs. performed? <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/JordanHarbinger/comments/1sl3ame/questions_i_find_myself_routinely_having_as_a/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>You've been curious about the sausage-making of Feedback Friday for a while</strong></a><strong>, and today you're finally getting your answer.</strong></li><li><strong>Recommendation of the Week: </strong>Jordan recommends <a href="https://paintyourownpottery.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Paint-Your-Own Pottery Studios</strong></a> as a fun family or friend-group activity.</li><li><strong>You're a fairly new listener who's never struggled with depression — but most of your community-theater friends have, and when they open up, you freeze.</strong> "I'm so sorry, do you want to talk about it?" feels emptier each time. You want them to feel seen, but you don't share their experience. <strong>How do you bridge that gap without faking it?</strong></li><li>Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? <strong>Drop us a line at </strong><a href="mailto:friday@jordanharbinger.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>friday@jordanharbinger.com</strong></a><strong>!</strong></li><li><strong>Connect with Jordan</strong> on Twitter at <a href="https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@JordanHarbinger</a> and Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jordanharbinger" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jordanharbinger</a>.</li><li><strong>Connect with Gabriel</strong> on Twitter at <a href="https://twitter.com/GabeMizrahi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GabeMizrahi</a> and Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gabrielmizrahi/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gabrielmizrahi</a>.</li></ul><p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/id1344999619?mt=2&ls=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here</strong></a><strong> — even one sentence helps! </strong></p><ul><li><strong>Sign up for </strong><a href="https://jordanharbinger.com/course" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Six-Minute Networking</strong></a><strong> — our free networking and relationship development mini course — at </strong><a href="https://jordanharbinger.com/course" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>jordanharbinger.com/course</strong></a><strong>!</strong></li><li><strong>Subscribe to our once-a-week </strong><a href="https://www.jordanharbinger.com/news/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>Wee Bit Wiser</em></strong></a><strong> newsletter today and start filling your Wednesdays with wisdom!</strong></li><li><strong>Do you even Reddit, bro? </strong><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/JordanHarbinger/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Join us at r/JordanHarbinger</strong></a><strong>!</strong></li></ul><p><strong>This Episode Is Brought To You By </strong><a href="https://www.jordanharbinger.com/deals/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Our Fine Sponsors</strong></a><strong>: </strong></p><ul><li><strong>Lufthansa Allegris: </strong><a href="https://www.lufthansa.com/us/en/discover-lufthansa/allegris" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Go to Lufthansa.com and search for "Allegris" to learn more</strong></a></li><li><strong>1-800-Flowers: </strong><a href="https://1800flowers.com/jhs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>2x Mom's blooms for Mother's Day: 1800flowers.com/jhs</strong></a></li><li><strong>Gusto: </strong><a href="https://gusto.com/jordan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Three months of free payroll: gusto.com/jordan</strong></a></li><li><strong>AT&T: </strong><a href="https://att.com/iphone" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Get an iPhone 17 Pro for $0: att.com/iphone or visit an AT&T store for details</strong></a></li></ul><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
