What happens when a late-diagnosed autistic woman with synesthesia decides to hack her own life in the name of adventure? Meet Jen Friel—writer, entrepreneur, and accidental internet pioneer—who once quit her job to "give up everything she owned" (pre-influencer marketing being a 'thing') and live off of social media. Her experiment turned into a viral brand that was optioned by Jerry Bruckheimer and purchased as a put-pilot at CBS (after a four-way bidding war between ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX ... of course). This isn't just another podcast—it's a ride through identity, chaos, resilience, and the weirdly wonderful ways we find our place in the world. If you've ever felt "too much" or "not enough," Jen's story might be just for you.© 2026 Jen Friel - All Rights Reserved ノンフィクション犯罪 社会科学

    Some goodbyes require a road trip. This one required a full tank, a packed passport, and a skeleton onesie. Jen and Jeff are driving out of El Paso and into the West Texas desert to bury one of the six people Jen calls family. Gil Prather was a Mensa-level genius, a mentor, and the one person who kept telling her, for years, that she processed the world differently than everyone around her. She spent a long time arguing with him about that. She is finally ready to admit he was right. What she is not ready for is what the desert does to people who are already paying too much attention. Because West Texas is a vortex. Hours of nothing between towns, a breakfast spot that technically sits in another country, a friend who arrives in something closer to a tank than a car, and a lunch table so improbable that Jen would not believe it herself if her husband had not been sitting right beside her. In the middle of all of it, something happens that has never happened to her before, a new way of perceiving two strangers that she has no language for, and no idea what to do with. So she asks the only person she trusts to explain it: her eighth grade art teacher. The answer she gets back reframes everything. Then there is the funeral itself, which is less a service than a twenty-four-hour jam band send-off in a ghost town, and Jen, the woman who gives a very good funeral, quietly running the logistics in a black tulle dress. It ends the only way a life like Gil's could end. And somewhere between the river, the ceremony, and the after-after party, a thought surfaces about the person who has been following her for months. One detail about this trip does not fit the pattern. That detail is a tell. Grief, genius, and a diagnosis that keeps getting louder. This is the episode where the middle of nowhere finally hands Jen a direction. That Time a Ghost Town Leads to a Revelation in the Stalking — a story about being seen on every level, hearing what nobody else hears, and the kind of goodbye that sends everyone home carrying a piece of it.

    EP. 11 - That Time Jack Dorsey & Rick Rubin Met A Nerd Dressed as a Skeleton
    2026/08/13
    For years, people told Jen she was smart. One man ... a genius himself ... spent seven years trying to get her to believe it. She brushed it off every single time. She wasn't ready to hear it. She wasn't ready to be different. This episode is about what happens when you finally reach for answers and the first hand extended to you belongs to a con man. It's about a message sent into the void to a personal idol, a phone call placed to GoDaddy in front of someone who helped build the internet, a skeleton onesie, a ghost town, and a goodbye to the one person who always saw the truth — even when Jen couldn't see it herself. Some people spend their whole lives looking for a guru. Sometimes the guru tells you to stop looking. Episode 11: That Time Jack Dorsey & Rick Rubin Met A Nerd Dressed as a Skeleton is a story about fraud, grief, validation, and a teepee with a hand-painted Wi-Fi sign in the middle of nowhere.

    EP. 10 - That Time I Discovered My Wires Were Crossed
    2026/08/06
    For her entire life, Jen knew she processed the world differently. The vivid colors. The physical sensations tied to a voice. The uncanny ability to see the architecture of a problem before anyone else even realized something was wrong. But for decades, this profound intuition was dismissed, misdiagnosed, or simply chalked up to being "special"—leaving her searching for answers while navigating a reality no one else could see. This episode is about the moment the puzzle pieces finally snap into place. From a surprisingly profound Zoom call on a regular Tuesday afternoon to a dive into her own extraordinary family lineage, Jen receives a framework that changes everything. And as she uncovers the truth about her own wiring, she must also confront the unsettling reality of a man who claims to read others but refuses to examine himself. Sometimes, the most shocking revelations don't come with fireworks—they arrive quietly, confirming what you knew all along. This is the episode where the lifelong mystery gets a name. That Time I Discovered My Wires Were Crossed — a story about unexpected diagnoses, setting boundaries, and realizing that seeing things differently isn't a flaw; it's a superpower.
