You'll hear a lot of swear words in this episode - f**k, f**king, sh*t, motherfu**er, a*s - but they're all needed 😅

It's a personal story about the very first English lesson I taught. It was 2015 and I was in Auckland, New Zealand.

I hope this story will inspire you to be brave enough to take the first step in whatever you're doing in life.

In this episode, I talk with Roman Mironov, a Russian porn detox coach based in Toronto, Canada.

Roman discovered porn in 1996 when he was 14 and quickly became a porn addict. He felt alone and miserable. This nasty addiction even made his marriage fall apart in 2012.

At 32, he committed to quitting porn forever. He's 40 now and hasn't consumed porn for 8 years. He feels in charge of his life.

When Roman shared his story online, he discovered he was not alone. Many people resonated with his experience and they kept reaching out to him asking for guidance. He decided to help these people and in 2019 he became a full-time porn detox coach.

In this episode, you'll hear him talk about:

- his story (including how he learned English).

- porn addiction.

- how he helps people who're addicted to porn.

Should you compare yourself to other people when you're learning English (or learning anything)? I used to do it and it helped me. I explore this in this episode.

I hope this helps.

Some students say, "I had a bad teacher in school so I didn't learn." 

But are teachers 100% responsible for our learning? What percentage of that responsibility is actually ours?

I explore this in this episode.

I reply to everyone.

In this episode, I talk with Antonello Zanini, an English language learner, software engineer, blogger, and technical writer from Italy.

Antonello fell in love with learning languages and transformed his freelance business as a software engineer into Writech, a company that provides technical writing content in multiple languages. He has clients from all 6 continents and says achieving this goal would have been impossible without his language learner mindset.

Antonello is one of the most motivated language learners I've met in my life.
