Hello! And Happy New Year! If you like variety, this is the podcast for you. Today's theme: energy and insights for the new year. We'll start with two observations on language, one from Frank Bazalgette, a "born and raised" Londoner who now lives in Argentina, and one from Drake Abshire, a real estate agent in Louisiana. Then, shifting gears, Samantha Chung explains why the excuse "I need more time" has nothing to do with time, and what to do about it. Next, branding guru Bill Harper explains three levels of the classic "sell me this pen" exercise. Then Tom Jordan, an acclaimed voice actor, tests out a microphone that I'm considering buying. And finally, post holidays, some timely advice from Joshua Terhune, a child therapist, on how to play with your kids. Frank Bazalgette, a "born and raised" Londoner who now lives in Argentina, makes observations of English words that are used in Argentina instead of their Spanish equivalent. Frankly Speaking English - book a lesson. Next, let's learn a word that made it's way into the Louisiana lexicon via French. Drake Abshire, a real estate agent in Lafayette, Louisiana, has been doing a series on unique words there. This is a very short episode where he introduces today's word, "mas". Visit Drake's links. As we start off the new year, it's a good time to hear some advice from Simplyfying Sam - The Shortcast!. Samantha Chung let's us know, the excuse "I need more time" has nothing to do with time. So, what is it about? Sam's Linktree. Next, Bill Harper, a marketing & branding leader, illustrates three increasingly sophisticated way to sell something, using the classic example of "sell me this pen." Getting to that top level is something that seems simple, but it's not easy! Hear more in his podcast Don’t Just Win. Dominate.™ Bill's website. If you're looking for a microphone for your shortcast, here's a demonstration of the iPhone pro microphone versus the Shure MV5 microphone, performed by Tom Jordan, an acclaimed voice actor and audio book narrator, in his shortcast Tom Voiceover Quick VO Tips. Frankly, I think both sound great, but for a professional like Tom I think the microphone does make a difference! I’m considering buying this one as well, so thank you Tom for the recommendation and for demonstrating it! Speaking of toys, here is Joshua Terhune, a child therapist, with three quick tips on how to play with your kids. Joshua Terhune's linktree. Check out more great shows available on Shortcast Club.
