“What do you do (for a living)?” — It’s one of the most common questions you’ll get asked as an adult at social gatherings. Doesn’t matter if it’s a bar, a café, a networking event, or a family reunion. Work tends to be what occupies the majority of people’s time, so naturally, this is what people will ask about when meeting each other for the first time. But as I get older, I tend to appreciate this question less and less because although it’s meant to be a conversation starter, it usually has the opposite effect.

When dealing with these problems, we usually try to make external changes as opposed to internal ones. In this episode, we’ll explore the pros and cons of this approach, as well as a healthier alternative that’ll lead to less conflicts and more internal peace.

We’re diving into the toxic mindset that stops so many of my Latino friends from learning to speak English proficiently. I’m going to talk about cultural stigmas, mental rigidity, self-esteem, and how all of these things have a major influence on your ability to learn and grow as an English speaker (and a human being). If you can make the corrections that I suggest in this episode, you’ll be putting yourself on the path to proficiency in this language. You’ll realize that no matter what goal you’re trying to achieve, it all starts with having the proper mindset!
