In this week's episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, the show that helps global professionals to speak clearly and confidently at work, host Curtis Davies speaks with Craig Sotkovsky, a 9/11 World Trade Center lung cancer survivor, entrepreneur, international speaker, and resilience advocate.

Craig's story is extraordinary. After being exposed to toxic dust near Ground Zero during the attacks on September 11, 2001, he was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer nearly twenty years later, a moment that changed everything. Instead of breaking him, that diagnosis awakened a powerful mission.

Today, Craig helps people find strength through adversity, advocate for their health, and build meaningful lives even in the aftermath of trauma. His work has been featured in TIME Magazine, FOX 5 New York, Bold Journey, Voyage ATL, and other major media outlets.

He is a voice of resilience, courage, and purpose — and this conversation will leave you inspired to look at your life in a whole new way.

💥 The moment Craig received his cancer diagnosis — and the mindset shift that saved his life 🌫️ The long-term health impact of 9/11 and what Craig wishes more people understood 🧠 How mindset became one of his strongest survival tools 💼 How entrepreneurship gave him purpose and strength during his recovery ❤️ A powerful story of someone he helped that changed him forever 💪 The top 3 skills every person needs to build resilience 🔥 Craig's best advice for anyone facing fear, uncertainty, or a difficult life transition

This episode is emotional, practical, and empowering — a reminder that resilience is built through the battles we never expected to face.

In this episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, host Curtis Davies speaks with Sam Murray, founder of The Breath Connection, a former British Royal Marine Commando, and an expert in breath retraining, nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and stress resilience.

After years of struggling with alcohol & drug addiction, chronic fatigue, anxiety, panic symptoms, poor sleep, and energy crashes, Sam discovered that dysfunctional breathing was at the core of his entire health cycle. By retraining his breath, he transformed his body, his mind, and his life — and now he teaches others to do the same.

Sam has worked with law enforcement teams, firefighters, military personnel, NHS staff, high-performance athletes, and people in high-pressure roles who need to stay calm, focused, and emotionally steady under stress. His program, Back to Balance, helps people reset their breathing, quiet their mind, and regain control over their nervous system.

This conversation will fundamentally change how you think about stress, confidence, and your breathing.

✨ In this episode, you'll learn: 🫁 The hidden signs of dysfunctional breathing 🔥 Why anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout often start with the breath 🧠 How to reset your nervous system through breath retraining 🎤 How breathing impacts confidence, communication, and speaking under pressure 🌙 The link between breath and sleep, focus, performance, and emotional control 🌬️ Techniques you can use instantly before meetings, presentations, and interviews 💪 How breathwork supports trauma recovery and long-term resilience
