#50 - The Harsh Reality of Making Life Decisions

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never taken a class on decision-making. My parents never sat me down and taught me how to think deeply about the consequences of my actions. When it comes to making life choices, the only teacher I’ve ever had was life itself. I’ve made decisions, those decisions have had consequences, and then I’ve analyzed those consequences with the hopes that I’ll be able to make even better decisions in the future. But I’m a human being… and naturally, I want to feel a sense of certainty that the decisions I make will lead to the outcomes I desire. — And I’m sure you’re no different. - How do I know if I’m making the right decision? - How do I know if I should be persistent and keep moving toward my goal, or just quit and find something else to do? - How do I know if I’m using my time in the best way possible? These are questions that all of us have asked or will ask ourselves at some point in life. And the harsh reality is that in most cases, the only person who can answer these question for us is the person we see in the mirror every morning. But still, we continue to look to others for guidance, advice, and answers. — And in today’s episode, I’m gonna play a clip of a young lady looking for advice on how to know if she’s on the right path in life. — And the entrepreneur and content creator, Gary Vaynerchuk is going to share a perspective that I believe could help you to find some direction in your life as well.

"Hookup culture" refers to a cultural phenomenon in which casual sexual encounters, including one-night stands and other related activities, are accepted and often celebrated, typically without necessarily including emotional bonding or long-term commitment.

Bonus #19 - The Customer Is Always Wrong

You know, they often say that “the customer is always right”. In other words, “customer satisfaction is the number 1 priority”. This phrase is believed to have been coined in 1909 by Harry Gordon Selfridge, the founder of Selfridge's department store in London. This principle was meant to encourage excellent customer service and to convince employees to prioritize customer satisfaction. But anyone who’s worked in customer service knows that the customer is ******not****** always right. In fact, the customer is often wrong. And Michael O’Leary, the CEO of the Irish airline Ryan Air feels the same way.

In this episode, we’re talking about the profound impact of habits on the course of one's life. The results we experience in various aspects of life, such as finance and fitness, are often delayed reflections of our habits. But the thought of forming new and healthier habits is often very daunting because we typically imagine the herculean effort we're going to have to make in order to form those habits. — However, with the help of James Clear (author of the book ‘Atomic Habits’), I'm going to expose you to a concept that might change the way you think about forming simple habits that will have a massive impact on your future.

Bonus #17 - Over-functioning Parents

Being a parent is one of the many things in life that doesn’t come with an instruction manual. So naturally anyone who decides to become a parent is bound to make mistakes with the kids at some point. I don't have kids, but I have to imagine that as a parent, you're making mistakes all the time. — I mean, as a human, we're making mistakes all the time so I'm sure there's no difference. One of the most detrimental mistakes that I've seen countless times and also experienced myself is what some people might call over-functioning for one’s children. Over-functioning it's basically doing things for your children that they can do for themselves. Some people say they do it out of love, others do it out of fear, but at the end of the day, constantly doing things for people that they can do for themselves isn't always a simple act of kindness. Sometimes you can train those people to be so dependent on you that they can't do anything for themselves. And that's not good for anyone. So in today's episode, we're going to listen to a short clip from a conversation about this topic and I'll be here to explain all the nouns, verbs, and adjectives and then I’ll leave you with something to think about.

#43 - The Biggest Lie about Relationships

From a very young age we are told countless lies about the purpose of committed relationships, how those relationships are developed, and what it takes to maintain them overtime. It's only as we get older and start trying to develop our own relationships that we actually realize relationships are not what we read about in fairytales, or see in movies or on social media. Unfortunately, many of us never had anyone to teach us about how committed relationships work and so we were forced to learn through sheer observation. However, many of us we never taught to observe properly so we end up misinterpreting many other things that we see and hear. What's the biggest misconception about committed relationships today? What is it that so many of us get wrong when it comes to choosing a partner, developing a relationship, and setting expectations of that relationship? In today's episode of real English radio, we’re gonna listen to a clip from a conversation between Brené Brown and Tim Ferris about what Brené believes to be the biggest lie we’re told about relationships and the change in thinking we all need to make if we want to sustain a healthy partnership with someone.

#39 - Quiet People Have It Rough

A lot of people have a hard time dealing with silence, especially in the presence of another person. In many cultures, silence is viewed as a problem, a breakdown in communication, or a void that must be filled with some kind of noise. If the person we’re speaking with is silent too often or for too long, we tend to associate negative feelings with them such as boredom, awkwardness, and rejection. This episode will give you a different way to think about silence and help you to understand quiet people just a little bit better.

#37 - The Benefit of the Doubt

From the day we are born to the day we die, we’re faced with countless ambiguous situations that require us to use our *logic* rather than our *emotions* to interpret things properly and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts. Unfortunately, most of us have little knowledge about human psychology and how our brains tend to function and or malfunction. This lack of understanding often leads us to misinterpret many situations and develop negative feelings or opinions about the various people we come into contact with on a daily basis. So today, we're going to dive deeper into this topic and discuss the power that your perception has over the way you experience life. — If you are at all interested in psychology, communication, or interpersonal relationships, then this episode is definitely for you!
