4 februari 2020 · 51 min
Kris Buckner is the president of Investigative Consultants, with over 22 years of experience in investigations related to trademark counterfeiting, piracy, and other intellectual property matters. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Kris Buckner:
Why the trillion-dollar counterfeiting industry should concern you -- even if you don't care that the "Gucci" bag you got for $12 can't be spotted as a knockoff by the snootiest in your circle of friends.
What gets counterfeited? You name it: designer clothes, automobile parts, cancer medication, alcohol, makeup, vaping products, perfume, computer parts, and kids' cough syrup are just the tip of the iceberg.
How buying or selling counterfeit goods -- knowingly or otherwise -- potentially benefits corrupt regimes, terrorists, and organized crime networks around the world.
The real harm counterfeit goods pose to the end consumer, from health risks associated with contaminated products to loose parts that can become choking hazards for small children.
The real harm counterfeit goods pose to the legitimate economy, from fewer jobs to less tax revenue that funds law enforcement and education.

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
Our prison trip is officially full! If you want to get on the waiting list in case we have last-minute cancellations, please drop Jordan a line at prison@jordanharbinger.com!
Should a tip be optional unless service is above and beyond what's expected from your server -- instead of obligatory because the restaurant or business won't pay their staff enough?
You've been at your job for a long time and you want to do something different. How do you let your employer know that you want to transition out of your current role while still keeping a positive relationship?
You're the only child, and you've got an overly sensitive and selfish parent you need to take care of. What can you do to make sure they don't stress you out when you're expected to drop everything to attend to their needs?

[Featured photo by Nathaniel Gerdes]
What We Discuss with BJ Fogg:
The main reasons we fail at behavior change -- even when we rationally know the long-term benefits heavily outweigh any short-term discomforts.
The B=MAP Fogg Behavior Model that can be applied universally to understanding (and correcting) every type of behavior there is.
How starter steps and tiny habits work as effective ways to "trick" our change-resistant human brains into radical behavior change.
Why BJ prefers the term "untangling" rather than "breaking" in reference to habits we want to discontinue.
Why repetition is often repeated as being the catalyst for creating habits, why this tidbit of popular misinformation is so wrong, and what really works as a better catalyst.

How Shaka's childhood neighborhood in Detroit quickly went from idyllic to nightmarish when the crack epidemic struck in the '80s (and what he spent his money on when he became a dealer).
The assorted sources of trauma faced by kids who wind up in the drug-dealing lifestyle and why such a lifestyle is initially appealing to them -- in spite of exposing them to very adult consequences.
Why the current opioid crisis may actually be instrumental in helping heal societal class and racial divides widened during the crack epidemic.
Why removing the stigma of mental health treatment is crucial to breaking the cycles of recidivism in which young people often get trapped.
The series of events that landed Shaka in prison for 19 years, how he made use of his time there, and what he's doing to help fix a very broken system.

304: How to Avoid Addiction to Study Drugs | Feedback Friday
24 januari 2020 · 51 min
You're in your thirties, and although you've had reasonable success running your own business, you've always believed that you were lazy and unmotivated. You recently got diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed Adderall, and everything changed for the better. You're finally a hard worker, don't get distracted easily, and finish things you start. It's been a huge lifesaver and a huge boost to your self-confidence. Lees meer
After hearing Jordan talk about his negative experiences with Adderall in high school on the Darren Prince episode, it got you concerned.
Your brother has been using Adderall for years, and said something that worried you. While on vacation, he lost his prescription and felt the need to find a doctor who could write him an emergency prescription. He regularly has to restrict towards the end of the month to make sure he doesn't run out, which signals he's taking extra doses.
Should you be concerned for your brother getting addicted?
Are you at risk of becoming dependent if you stay on it for years?
We'll talk about this and much more on this latest episode of Feedback Friday!

303: Megan Phelps-Roper | Unfollowing Westboro Baptist Church Part Two
23 januari 2020 · 43 min
Megan Phelps-Roper (@meganphelps) grew up in the Westboro Baptist Church, an organization widely monitored as a hate group for its anti-gay, anti-Jewish, anti-American protests. She left WBC in 2012 and has since written about her experiences in Unfollow: A Memoir of Loving and Leaving the Westboro Baptist Church. This is part two of a two-part episode. Listen to part one here! Lees meer
What We Discuss with Megan Phelps-Roper:
What catalyzed Megan and her sister's departure from the Westboro Baptist Church in 2012, and how do the family members left behind feel about their decision?
The logistics Megan and her sister faced when they decided to leave the home and family they'd known their entire lives to start anew in the outside world.
What Megan learned about the human capacity for empathy, generosity, forgiveness — and general goodness — by revisiting people she'd formerly picketed in WBC.
What Megan's experiences have taught her about the cognitive biases we all have — about everything from religion to politics — no matter how smart we think we are.
The four steps others used to break through to Megan and get her to have real conversations, and how we can use them to connect with people who disagree with us on a fundamental level.
And much more…

21 januari 2020 · 51 min
Megan Phelps-Roper (@meganphelps) grew up in the Westboro Baptist Church, an organization widely monitored as a hate group for its anti-gay, anti-Jewish, anti-American protests. She left WBC in 2012 and has since written about her experiences in Unfollow: A Memoir of Loving and Leaving the Westboro Baptist Church. This is part one of a two-part episode. Stay tuned for the second episode coming later this week! Lees meer
What We Discuss with Megan Phelps-Roper:
What it was like to grow up in what documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux called "The Most Hated Family in America."
Why the Westboro Baptist Church feels it's uniquely qualified to spread what it sees as the "true" word of God in a way that shocks and offends the rest of the world.
How the Westboro Baptist Church interprets feelgood lessons from the Bible like "Love thy neighbor" and the tale of the good Samaritan.
Why children who grow up in Westboro Baptist Church aren't educated at home, but encouraged to go to public schools.
The complicated history of the church's founder (and Megan's grandfather), Fred Phelps, who championed civil rights for African-Americans as a lawyer while campaigning against homosexuals, Jewish people, dead soldiers, tsunami victims, Mr. Rogers, and others deemed "deviant" by his very specific interpretation of the Bible (e.g., everybody not belonging to Westboro Baptist Church).

When you're paying so much money and time for the privilege of being part of your best friend's wedding party, is it unreasonable that, with plenty of notice, the caterer is refusing to accommodate your vegan request?
Recently married, your partner has been voicing concern and guilt for living so far away from family. But due to the nature of your job (which you love), you can't move back to your home state without having to give it up. How do you make an informed decision in this situation?
Driving across the country, you were stopped in Texas and ticketed for speeding even though your speedometer says otherwise. You're not sure if you were flagged for out-of-state plates or racially profiled, but you'd like to fight…

Steve Elkins is a cinematographer and explorer whose discovery of and expedition to a legendary settlement in the rainforest of Honduras is chronicled in The Lost City of the Monkey God: A True Story by Douglas Preston. Lees meer
[Featured photo by Ryan Hartford of Ecliptic Media]
What We Discuss with Steve Elkins:
How did Steve and his team manage to only recently discover a legendary city in the Honduran rainforest that had been aggressively -- and fruitlessly -- sought out by disappointed locals and explorers for half a millennium?
The countless natural and manmade dangers of exploring the mosquito-infested region of Honduras known locally as "The Gates of Hell" -- from venom-spitting snakes to quicksand to drug cartels.
Why knowing an unhinged guy with a gun can come in handy when your producer needs to leave the expedition early and return to civilization for a family emergency.
The logistics, legal considerations, and politics that go into being outsiders exploring the cultural heritage of another country.
The details of what Steve and his team discovered, and what this discovery has brought to light beyond the mere satisfaction of archaeological curiosity.

You don't know how to handle the situation. For some context, You're a high functioning autistic person.

Whether we view it as a collaborator, competitor, or consumer, this "Young China" is the single most important rising actor on the world stage.
How Zak became fluent in Mandarin -- considered by the CIA to be the hardest language to learn in the world -- at the highest level in two and a half years instead of the customary six.

Akshay Nanavati (@fearvanalife) is a former Marine who has survived PTSD, depression, alcoholism, and suicidal ideation to build a global business, run ultramarathons, and explore the world's most hostile environments. He is also the author of Fearvana: The Revolutionary Science of How to Turn Fear into Health, Wealth and Happiness. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Akshay Nanavati:
What going on a seven-day retreat in total darkness and isolation taught Akshay about himself that transcended rationality and the reality of his senses.
Why Akshay believes that the single greatest barrier standing in the way of our well-being is our negative relationship to suffering -- such as the way we demonize fear, stress, and anxiety.
What does Akshay mean when he recommends finding "the worthy struggle" that will make our suffering meaningful?
Stillness accompanied by consciousness and intention versus doing nothing, and what we risk by being afraid to confront what lurks in the space of our deepest darkness.
Why Akshay considers the prevailing idea in the self-help world of "I am enough" to be nonsense, why we are not enough, and -- most important -- why that's not a bad thing.
And much more...

288: Erik Weihenmayer | A Blind Man Sees No Barriers
10 december 2019 · 1 uur 5 min
Erik Weihenmayer (@ErikWeihenmayer) has kayaked the Grand Canyon and climbed Mount Everest -- blind. He is the author of Touch the Top of the World and co-author of No Barriers and The Adversity Advantage. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Erik Weihenmayer:
How challenges unite us as human beings -- no matter our hardships or handicaps.
Why losing his sight as a teenager didn't discourage Erik from excelling beyond the capacity of the world's most accomplished extreme athletes.
How Erik embraces a "no barriers" philosophy to guide and lift others -- even when their own cultures seek to keep them down.
Why Erik's not "the blind climber," but a climber who happens to be blind -- and why this makes all the difference.
The instincts, senses, and technology that allow Erik to navigate around his dangerous terrains of choice without sight.
And much more...

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
How should we refer to our listener base?
Is there a reason to share your salary with anyone else?
Is it your imagination that there's tension between you and the only other woman in the office?
As a business owner, how should you respond to competition fishing for pricing?
How do you find hangout buddies?
What can you do to help your boss step up as the leader you need him or her to be?

You're a cybersecurity student stuck in a career ditch. How do you dig yourself out?

Brian Koppelman (@BrianKoppelman) is a writer, filmmaker, producer, and director. He's currently the showrunner, co-creator, and executive producer of Billions on Showtime and the host of The Moment podcast. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Brian Koppelman:
Law school is an expensive (but not completely useless) place to learn life lessons.
How do you know when you've done work of "undeniable" quality -- in the absolute sense?
The line between being an artist and being delusional is very thin.
If you want to be a screenwriter, read a thousand screenplays.
We focus so much on the hustle that sometimes we forget to focus on the work.

282: Ken Perenyi | The Secret Life of an American Art Forger
26 november 2019 · 1 uur 35 min
Ken Perenyi is a former art forger who spent 34 years creating fake paintings that passed muster among the experts in the world's major auction houses and galleries. He comes clean to tell us how he got away with it in his book Caveat Emptor: The Secret Life of an American Art Forger. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Ken Perenyi:
How Ken, as an academically disinclined New Jersey teenager with no artistic background and zero plans for the future, fell headfirst into the New York art scene of the '60s and '70s.
What a fortuitous trip to The Metropolitan Museum of Art awakened in Ken and how it led from technical curiosity to natural talent to outright forgery.
How Ken prematurely aged his work to appear hundreds of years old, the materials he used, and how long it took him to create forgeries that would fool even lifelong, devoted experts.
The first nervous deal Ken ever made and how it fed an ambition to take his talents as far as they would go.
How Ken survived scrutiny by the mafia and FBI, changed his ways, and now works on the level selling "high-class fakes" rather than "forgeries."

281: My Wife Thinks I'm Hiding Money | Feedback Friday
22 november 2019 · 42 min
Your shopaholic wife spends like there's no tomorrow, and is irked that you won't add her to the account for the business you've been running since before you were married. In fact, she loves to gain sympathy from others by telling them you're hiding money away from her -- which irks you. But one practical question did recently come up: What happens to the money in that account if anything should ever happen to you and she doesn't have access to it? On this Feedback Friday, we delve into this and much more! Lees meer

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
Interested in doing some prison time with Jordan next February? It's filling up fast; reach out to prison@jordanharbinger.com for details!
It's been a long day. Are you a jerk for not letting someone cut in front of you in the grocery store checkout line just because they say their child is waiting for them in their car and everyone behind you already let them through?
You were able to use the tips you learned about negotiation in our episodes with Alex Kouts and Ramit Sethi to get a raise from your old boss. But now that it's time to ask for an increase, you've got a new boss with whom you haven't yet established rapport. Should you wait?
In another nod to the Alex Kouts episodes, you've negotiated the raises to elevate you into a higher tax bracket -- but you're clueless about how to behave in the associated culture. How do you fit in with your new peers without feeling like you just landed on another planet?
Even though your parents don't…

Dr. Sarah Hill (@sarahehillphd) is a leading researcher in the dynamic and rapidly expanding field of evolutionary psychology, and the author of This Is Your Brain on Birth Control: The Surprising Science of Women, Hormones, and the Law of Unintended Consequences. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Dr. Sarah Hill:
How hormonal birth control affects women -- and the world around them -- in ways we are just now beginning to understand.
Why a woman will be attracted to a certain partner while taking hormonal birth control -- and the problems this could cause for a relationship when she stops taking it.
On a hormonal contraceptive, a woman is twice as likely to have attempted suicide as a woman who was not on a hormonal contraceptive.
Why, in spite of its drawbacks, Sarah credits the pill to her own ability to achieve a doctorate and career success.
Why these new findings should be a rallying cry for women to demand more information from science about how their bodies and brains work and to advocate for better research.

What We Discuss with Dennis Quaid:
Whether or not getting rejected for a coveted job in Hollywood ever gets easier -- even when you've been getting cast for decades.
Why Dennis considers fear his greatest motivator -- and what this indicates to him when he feels it upon being offered a role.
The hardest place to get respect, the greatest things our kids teach us, and where dad jokes go to die.
Listening versus improvising, and how Dennis brings his characters to life without strictly memorizing his lines before arriving on set.
Accents, biographical misinformation, and how learning to play a real-life astronaut led to Dennis learning how to fly real-life planes.

278: My Mother Lied About Our Father's Death | Feedback Friday
15 november 2019 · 43 min
When you were kids, you and your brother moved to the other side of the country with your mother and stepfather not long after your parents divorced. You never saw your father again, and believed your mother when she said that he and his mother -- your grandmother -- had died. Fast forward to now. You and your brother are adults, and he's got a bombshell to drop: your grandmother is still alive, and your father only recently passed away. Feeling betrayed, you've pieced together your mother and stepfather's systematic strategy to estrange you from your dad's side of the family (who, by the way, tried to find you over that time without success) -- and you're angry. You feel robbed of the time you could have spent with them, and you're wondering how you should raise the issue with your mother -- or if you should. This is obviously a sensitive situation, but we'll do our best to help you with this and more on the latest Feedback Friday. Lees meer

Neil Pasricha (@neilpasricha) is a New York Times bestselling author of five books including The Book of Awesome, The Happiness Equation, and his latest, You Are Awesome: How to Navigate Change, Wrestle with Failure, and Live an Intentional Life. Lees meer
What We Discuss with Neil Pasricha:
Why anxiety is at an all-time high when we live in an age of relative ease compared to what our ancestors (and even recent generations) endured.
Why you need to be prepared — and willing — to lose more if you want to win more from what life has to offer.
How to set up incredibly productive untouchable days where you're basically unplugged and unreachable — even when you have bosses and significant others who may be resistant to the idea.
How to use the Saturday morning test to brainstorm new skills, adventures, and personal improvements you'd like to implement.
A failure budget you can use to try new things, fail, and rejoin the fray — enhanced by the experience, but with relatively few scrapes and bruises.

Why creativity and innovation are important for leaders -- and the roadblocks that tend to smother these qualities as we achieve in our lives and careers.
Principles followed when top brass make decisions that put people in harm's way.

What We Discuss with Scott Adams:
Why the term “loserthink” isn't about being uninformed — it's about unproductive thinking.
Mental models we use that sometimes fail us, and thinking traps that we fall into when we're looking to interpret communication, evaluate facts or evidence, and form opinions.
How to evaluate fake news and see why the business models of many media outlets have been redesigned to keep us engaged at the expense of accuracy and truth.
When and how to dial down our ego so we can clarify our thinking, and also when and how we can use our ego as a tool to move forward.
Ways to evaluate and poke holes in bad arguments, and strengthen our own methods of thinking and arguing.

272: How to Sue Your Parents for Identity Theft | Feedback Friday
1 november 2019 · 41 min
Last week you texted your parents to let them know you'd be able to make it home for Christmas this year. They called back to tell you how they decided several years ago to buy a boat. The only problem was that they didn't have the $20,000 to buy it. Their solution? Take out a student loan in your name, of course! Now they've missed several payments and it's about to default, and your father had the nerve to say, "If you're going to make a big deal about this, it's best if you don't come home this year." In shock and 'about' $25,000' in debt, you're wondering if you should sue your parents for identity theft. On this Feedback Friday, we'll do our best to help you figure out not only if, but how to sue your parents for identity theft if you decide it's the right thing to do. Lees meer

266: Should I Tell My Friend He's a Horrible Person? | Feedback Friday
18 oktober 2019 · 48 min
Recently you stopped all contact with a childhood friend due to his toxic behavior. He went through a pretty bad breakup due to his behavior and you had enough. He thinks that by being a horrible dick to people, he's being really honest and helping them. Your other friends tell you that you should talk to him about why you cut him off, but you feel you've told him one too many times why he's a dick and what he could do to change. Do you owe him a conversation just because you were childhood friends? On this Feedback Friday, we'll try to help you decide whether to continue ghosting this ex-friend or actually take the time to tell him he's a horrible person. Lees meer

You've grown distant from your once-close sibling, who has become increasingly anxious and self-isolated to the point where family visits never happen anymore. Is there a way you can help draw them out?
Your boyfriend enjoys porn, so you're wondering -- from a guy's perspective -- why is it necessary to have an “escape” from a relationship with a partner who is perfectly willing to do it all? Is he just scared to be vulnerable enough to ask you?

The kind of cognitive dissonance Mike believes our country needs right now, and the tropes we could afford to grasp more loosely.
How the prevailing desire among correction culture commandos to prove others wrong on the Internet stifles our ability to exchange ideas freely.
Why Mike eschews second takes in favor of presenting his audience with the authentic moments they trust him to share.
How Mike's thrifty (and crafty) parents suckered him into feeling sorry for rich people when he was growing up.
Why we shouldn't view a blue collar career pursuit as a cautionary tale in comparison to the lifelong debt likely incurred by chasing a four-year degree these days.

263: How Can I Win Back My Spouse's Respect? | Feedback Friday
11 oktober 2019 · 44 min
You recently had a revelation that your spouse has zero respect for you. On a daily basis, you're reminded how to do basic tasks and criticized for every minor mistake you make. You've also noticed that they never value your advice, and if they have a question about something — no matter how confident your answer is — they'll always ask someone else afterward as if they don't value or believe your answer. You work hard, have a good job that supports your family on your income alone, you help out around the house probably more than most in your position, and you're going to school to further your education and job opportunities even more. The big question is: If they really do have zero respect for you, how can you win back your spouse's respect? We'll try to answer this and much more on the latest Feedback Friday! Lees meer
