1124: Your Aunt's 105 — But Is She Dead or Alive? | Feedback Friday
Fri, 07 Mar 2025
Your 105-year-old aunt has vanished into the elder care system while a relative keeps her whereabouts a secret. Can you find her? It's Feedback Friday! And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Your 105-year-old great-aunt Giulia has vanished after her son (your point of contact) passed away. His daughter refuses to tell anyone where she placed Giulia and won't respond to your family's desperate attempts to connect. To what lengths should you go to find an elderly relative who might not even know you're looking for her? [Thanks to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us answer this one!] Your cousin's ex-wife unexpectedly reached out to "apologize" about your childhood molestation by her ex-husband (your cousin). While you've worked hard to heal through therapy and build a wonderful life, her message feels oddly timed and potentially self-serving. How do you respond to someone dredging up painful memories for unclear motives? You work at a credit union where your micromanaging boss is actively preventing your career advancement. She's furious you applied for an internal position without her permission and seems determined to keep you under her control despite your excellent performance. How do you maneuver your way through corporate politics when your superior is playing a power game? Your older brother has autism and still lives with your parents at 27. They've provided minimal support for his independence, and your mother has been emotionally pressuring you since you were 16 to take full responsibility for him when they can't anymore. How do you balance caring for your brother while prioritizing your own new family? Recommendation of the Week: Crystal "rock" deodorant Your roofing company fired you right before paying your five-figure commission and claimed you had no employment contract (and therefore no non-compete clause). What happens when you decide to call all your clients, explain the situation, and bring them to your former employer's biggest competitor?

Chapter 1: Who are the hosts of Feedback Friday?
Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer, the Molcajete, helping me mix together this tableside guacamole of life drama, Gabriel Mizrahi.
That's the mortar and pestle that they make the guacamole in?
Yeah, it's like that weird volcanic ash bowl that has three little legs on it.
Yeah. That's hilarious. And the servers at the restaurants always make such a production out of it, don't they?
They do. Oh, wow. You put the onions in there. I see you. Can we speed this up a bit? I'm hungry. The chips have been on the table for like five minutes.
Let's get this show on the road, shall we? Yeah.
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 rocket scientists and CEOs, neuroscientists, war correspondents, and astronauts. This week, we had my friend David Eagleman back on the show. Such an interesting guy. We talked about whether or not we'll be able to upload our consciousness, our brains to the internet.
If we might create MRI technology that could read minds a whole lot more. We're always kind of all over the place. I'm just really interested in the brain. He is one of the world's foremost experts on the brain. So these are always super fun conversations. You really don't want to miss this one if you're into neuroscience, futurism, from a grounded perspective.

Chapter 2: What is couchsurfing and how did it lead to a cultural encounter?
When did we all decide that struggling alone is kind of a flex, like, oh yeah, I'm totally fine, while internally screaming into the void? Meanwhile, the people we admire, leaders, mentors, successful folks, they're out here actually asking for help when they need it. Maybe they're onto something. Thank you so much for watching.
And if your therapist isn't a good fit, which pro tip, you definitely want to try a few out. You can switch at any time, no extra cost. I've done that myself a few times. So if you've been meaning to try therapy, but you keep procrastinating, consider this your sign. Your future self, the one who actually has their life together, is going to thank you.

This episode is also sponsored by Delete Me. Ever get a scam call where they know your full name and even your address? Yeah, that is not just a weird coincidence. That is data brokers selling your personal info to the highest bidder. These companies collect everything, your phone number, email, home address, even details about your family, and they don't just sell it to advertisers.
Scammers, spammers, all kinds of sketchy third parties can buy your data too, which means more phishing attempts, identity theft risks, and worse. That's why I use and recommend Delete.me. It's a subscription service that tracks down and removes your personal information from hundreds of these data broker sites so you don't have to spend hours doing it yourself.
And Delete.me keeps scanning and removing your data on a regular basis to make sure it stays gone. They also send you privacy reports so you can see exactly what they've found and erased, which is honestly pretty satisfying.
