Interactive, structured, and built for overseas families, it's a strong pick for anyone trying to get their kids fluent.</li><li><strong>You're working a full-time job plus two more, your wife works full-time too, and you're still living paycheck to paycheck — and somewhere in there you've started to feel like a failure as a father.</strong> You could double your income, but at the cost of your kids' last years at home. <strong>Time or money? Or is there a door you haven't noticed yet?</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>BetterHelp: </strong><a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/jordan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>10% off first month: betterhelp.com/jordan</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>Booking.com: </strong><a href="https://booking.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Book your getaway now with booking.com</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>
