I am starting this podcast with a vision to bring guests from different walks of life to share ideas and answer questions that can help a young adult navigate through life, with a hope that less and less young adults end up saying Wish I Knew That Before! I am a 26-year-old Research Engineer and have been on this conscious journey of self-transformation for the past four years. Knowing the importance of deep conversations that affect one and all, but go unspoken about, through this podcast, I aim to facilitate discussions into such issues by exploring different aspects of life. Not an expert, but a fellow curious learner, I hope that this podcast will start a dialogue on such issues among young adults and empower them in their journey!
In this episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing Simone Pols, a polyglot who can communicate fluently in 8 different languages and is always learning new ones. He shares his craziest language learning experience of learning Portuguese in a weekend and having a conversation later. As an Italian citizen who has lived in Germany, he understands the power of languages in integrating into new cultures, connecting with locals, and gaining new perspectives. Simone believes in Nelson Mandela's quote that speaking in someone's language goes straight to their heart, which is why he's building a lifestyle around his online language coaching program and freelance Project Management work. Join me in this fascinating conversation as we explore the tips and tricks to mastering a new language as an adult.Follow Simone's Work On:Website: https://simonepols.com/home-en/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimonePolsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonepols/*************************************************************************Social Handles:Wish I Knew That Before!:https://www.instagram.com/wishiknewthatbefore/Amit Pandey: https://www.instagram.com/itsamit_pandey/*************************************************************************Share the podcast with someone whom you think would benefit from listening to it and don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

Kirby through his work has lifted pressure from the minds of so many creatives. Everything that needs to be said under the sun has been said, then what do we do, can we never be original? You can be by infusing your work with your personality, your zing, your unique take on it. Nobody can be you, they don't have the same life experiences as you, they haven't lived your life story, your life moments, they might have similar lifes but not the same. .Everything is a remix zooms in on the idea that nothing is original, we might think that this is me who created this but if someone would break it down, trace it back we might come across the underlying source of inspiration. The idea is don't stress on being original, feel free to copy, combine, and transform. Keep creating, be in motion, execute, get inspired. Follow your bliss, because in the zone of motion some day you will see your unique concoction of creation.Follow Kirby's Work On:Website: https://www.everythingisaremix.info/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirbyferguson/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/KirbyFerguson*************************************************************************My Social Handles:Wish I Knew That Before!:https://www.instagram.com/wishiknewthatbefore/Amit Pandey: https://www.instagram.com/itsamit_pandey/*************************************************************************Share the podcast with someone whom you think would benefit from listening to it and don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!
