Ep 74#74 - The Joy of Riding Motorbikes in Bangkok
ERiding my motorbike around Bangkok, Thailand is one of my favorite things to do these days. It fast, flexible, cheap, and it’s a great way to see the city.

Ep 73#73 - 2 Types of People (Continued)
EIn the last episode, I talked about the 2 distinct approaches that one may take when trying to learn a new skill; the theoretical approach and the practical approach. —The former focuses on preparation and research while the latter focuses on action and feedback. And although you probably understood the point of that episode with no problems, I’d like to drive the point home by staying in the context of learning English as a foreign language and explain the reason that the practical approach to learning will always be the best approach.…For access to transcripts, PDF study guides, and bonus podcast episodes, subscribe on Patreon!👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oFind me on social media!https://bio.link/tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.

Ep 66#66 - Why Are We Still Working?
EThe world we live in is very different from the world that Gen X-ers and Baby Boomers grew up in, and thus, the things we value and work for have changed substantially. In the past, people worked hard in the pursuit of owning their own homes, raising families, and retiring with enough money to enjoy their old age. But these days, the desire to own a home and raise children is lower than ever before. People don't want to dedicate 45 years of their life to a corporation, and they don't want to commit to 30-year mortgages or 18 years of childcare. So the question is... what exactly are we working for then?...For access to transcripts, PDF vocabulary guides, bonus podcast episodes and our private conversation group on Discord, join our community!👉 https://www.realenglishradio.com/membershipDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oFind me on social media!https://bio.link/tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.

Ep 63#63 - The Lost Art of Conversation
EWhen was the last time you had a genuine conversation? Not a text chat or an email, but a real face-to-face, heart-to-heart conversation? It’s something that rarely happens these days, isn’t it?People are busier, more immersed in the digital world, and more individualistic than ever before. Most of our interactions have been reduced to superficial, tweet-like sentences, emojis that display artificial emotions and reactions, and conversations that feel more like transactions than actual human connections.In this episode, I’m going to explain how getting back to our roots and learning to communicate with others will make life better for all of us.For access to transcripts, PDF vocabulary guides, bonus podcast episodes and our private conversation group on Discord, join our community!👉 https://www.realenglishradio.com/membershipDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oFind me on social media!https://bio.link/tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.

Ep 62#62 - "Gen Z is Lazy and Weak"
EGen Z are living through a major societal change, and it seems that most of them simply aren’t prepared for it. But who’s fault is that? Is this generation really just a bunch of lazy, weak, and entitled kids who think they deserve the world for free? Or is it possible that Millennials, Gen X-ers, and Baby Boomers have something to do with this?In this episode, you’re going to hear Jonathan Haidt’s thoughts on how Gen Z came to be so relatively weak in comparison to their predecessors, as well as clip of a young lady who’s struggling to cope with the reality of being an adult nowadays.This is such an important topic that’s relevant to all of us, and I hope this episode will spark interesting conversations about how we can support the future of our society.Timestamps:0:00 Jonathan Haidt's thoughts on Gen Z0:56 Greetings from Tony Kaizen2:05 Explanations of the clip12:08 Replay the clip13:02 Introducing the second clip14:25 Gen Z-er venting about adult life15:51 A quick reminder from Tony16:55 Explanations of the clip32:08 Reactions on Twitter47:05 Tony's thoughts…For access to transcripts, PDF vocabulary guides, bonus podcast episodes and our private conversation group on Discord, join our community!👉 https://www.realenglishradio.com/membershipDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oFind me on social media!https://bio.link/tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.

Ep 61#61 - The Internet Sucks Now... Here's Why
EHave you ever wondered why so many people stopped using Facebook?Have you ever wondered how exactly Amazon became the first website you think of when you want to buy something online?Have you ever wondered why so many content creators who had built massive followings on YouTube and Instagram suddenly rushed to TikTok back in 2020?Have you ever wondered why your experience on all of these platforms somehow gets worse and worse overtime?You might say that too many old people started using Facebook so all of the young people left.You might say that Amazon is just more convenient than any other online retailer.You might say that TikTok’s algorithms are simply better and more effective than the ones on YouTube and Instagram.And you might say that your online experience gets worse because there are too many ads and too many creators making the same trash content.But is it really that simple? What if there was a predictable pattern that almost every online platform followed in the search for higher profits market control? What if you could take a look behind the curtain and see how these online platforms systematically kill competition and creativity… while forcing buyers and sellers, creators and consumers to participate in their little game of monopoly?Well, in this episode, I’m going to read a brilliant article written by the author and journalist Cory Doctorow about the predictable ways that every online platform we know of eventually turns to shit.Discover more of Cory’s work:https://twitter.com/doctorowhttps://pluralistic.net/For access to PDF vocabulary guides, bonus podcast episodes and our private conversation group on Discord, join our community!👉 https://www.realenglishradio.com/membershipDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oFind me on social media!https://bio.link/tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.

Ep 59#59 - The Looking Glass Self
EThe concept of the "looking glass self" is central to the field of sociology, particularly symbolic interactionism. Coined by Charles Horton Cooley in his work "Human Nature and the Social Order" (1902), the term captures the idea that our self-concept and self-worth are heavily influenced by how we perceive others to perceive us.

Ep 52#52 - Go Easy on Yourself
EThere have been many discussions about modern laziness and short attention spans in the modern world. Many of us struggle with a lack of motivation and we’re more distracted than ever.

Ep 50#50 - The Harsh Reality of Making Life Decisions
EI 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.For access to bonus podcast episodes and our private conversation group on Discord, subscribe on Patreon!👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioFind me on social media!TikTok: @tonykaizenInstagram: @tonykaizenTwitter: @tonykaizenYouTube: @tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.

Ep 43#43 - The Biggest Lie about Relationships
EFrom 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.Support this podcast with a monthly subscription and get access to bonus podcast episodes, advanced PDF vocabulary guides, and our private conversation group on Discord! 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioFind me on social media!TikTok: @tonykaizenInstagram: @tonykaizenTwitter: @tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.

Ep 39#39 - Quiet People Have It Rough
EA 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.
