So <strong>how do you light a fire you can't build?</strong></li><li><strong>Your father-in-law's IRA was supposed to split three ways, until your husband mysteriously vanished from the paperwork, leaving his two sisters holding his third.</strong> They're dangling half as a tax-free "gift." <strong>Is this an honest estate-planning slip or something with sharper edges — and do you lawyer up?</strong></li><li><strong>You took the management job everyone swore you were built for. A year in, the title fits like a hot, itchy costume you can't wait to shed.</strong> The petty stuff — loud ringtones, an unemptied trash can — wrecks you more than the big problems. Now you're stepping back into less pay and dread. <strong>Are you doomed?</strong></li><li><strong>Recommendation of the Week: </strong><a href="https://www.netflix.com/watch/82047468" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>In Waves and War</em></strong></a> — a Netflix documentary trailing former Navy SEALs — guys allergic to anything touchy-feely — as severe PTSD and brain injuries push them toward psychedelic-assisted therapy in vetted clinics. Watching these hardened men crack open is harder to look away from than you'd expect.</li><li><strong>You beat odds most people never face: a brutal childhood, and a mother whose love always came tangled with chaos and addiction.</strong> After years of painstakingly rebuilding things with her, her latest spiral forced you to choose your own family and step away. <strong>Now you're in therapy, wondering if this makes you horrible.</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>Chime: </strong><a href="https://www.chime.com/jhs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Open an account in two minutes: chime.com/jhs</strong></a></li><li><strong>Factor: </strong><a href="https://www.factormeals.com/jordan50off" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>50% off first box: factormeals.com/jordan50off, code JORDAN50OFF</strong></a></li><li><strong>IQBAR: </strong><a href="https://www.eatiqbar.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>20% off: Text "Jordan" to 64,000</strong></a></li><li><strong>Mint Mobile: </strong><a href="https://www.mintmobile.com/jhs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Shop plans at mintmobile.com/jhs</strong></a></li><li><strong>Castbox: </strong><a href="https://castbox.fm/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Find, organize, and subscribe to the world's best podcasts: castbox.fm</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>
