30:18||Ep. 108In 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.- If you love this podcast and want to show some support, subscribe on Patreon! 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioJoin my Discord 👉 https://discord.gg/H53r7JKeqtDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oContact me any time 👉 https://www.tonykaizen.com/107. 107. Americans Should Pay More
36:18||Ep. 107If you’ve ever traveled to a foreign country, then you may have experienced the manipulative pricing schemes that many people use to take advantage of customers who aren’t familiar with the way things work in that country. In many places, it’s common practice to charge tourists up to 10 times the price that a local would pay for the same products or services, especially if the tourists come from North American or European countries. — In this episode, I’ll speak about the practicality and morality of such pricing schemes, and why I think they’re a bad idea.Timestamps:0:00 Intro0:28 Americans should pay more2:58 It keeps getting worse for Japan5:33 Arguments FOR discrimination8:49 The same logic, applied to race11:17 Moral implications14:34 Potential effects18:14 Is this really “equity”?22:15 Envy, hatred, and greed24:34 Who’s really making things more expensive?25:31 Pocket watching28:37 Playing the “social justice” game30:25 We’re just trying to make a profit33:55 Foreigners are not responsible for your problems-If you love this podcast and want to show some support, click here 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioJoin my Discord 👉 https://discord.gg/H53r7JKeqtDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oContact me anytime 👉 https://www.tonykaizen.com/106. 106. Over-functioning Parents
39:02||Ep. 106Being 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 is 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.-If you love this podcast and want to show some support, subscribe on Patreon! 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioJoin my Discord 👉 https://discord.gg/H53r7JKeqtDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oContact me any time 👉 https://www.tonykaizen.com/105. 105.
