https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP-164c-Football-Idioms-2.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod. With the World Cup underway, we're taking another look at one of our lessons on English idioms related to football. People have been competing in and watching some form of sports for thousands of years. Sports enduring popularity has helped it grow into a $2.3 trillion a year industry. And it's expected to just keep on growing. Among all sports, there's one that is far and away the most popular, and that's football, or soccer. Almost half the global population counts themselves as fans of the sport. So it's no wonder that something this popular has impacted the English language. Listen to any conversation in a sales meeting, around the water cooler, in the boardroom, or over drinks between colleagues and you're guaranteed to hear idioms related to football. These idioms are so common that most people don't think for a second about where they came from. They're just a natural part of everyday language. In today's dialog, we'll rejoin Marilyn and Karl, two colleagues at a publishing firm. They are talking about Karl's interest in a job at the company's Sydney branch. Karl is hoping Marilyn can help him decide whether to apply for the job. As you listen to the dialog, try to answer the following questions: 1. How does Karl's wife feel about moving to Sydney? 2. Why does Karl feel like he's cheating on his own company? 3. What advice does Marilyn give at the end of the conversation?

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP-163c-Football-Idioms-1.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod. With the World Cup about to kick off, we're taking a fresh look at one of our lessons on business English idioms related to football. What do you call an activity where groups of people compete strategically against each other as they strive to be the winner? I mean an activity with a clear goal where success requires strong teamwork and a commitment to excellent performance? Some of you might be thinking about sports. Some of you might be thinking about business. Well, you're both right. There are so many obvious similarities between sports and business, it's no wonder that we see the language of sport come into play in the corporate world. And there's a particular type of language that we're going to focus on in this lesson, called idioms. Just like the expression “come into play,” which means to be involved or to be a factor in something. Now when I say “football,” I'm referring to the game with the round ball that players kick into a net past a goalkeeper. It's what North Americans tend to call “soccer,” to differentiate it from their own game of football, which is a whole different ball game altogether! Internationally, football – or soccer – is the most popular sport in the world. So it's no wonder it has inspired so many idioms commonly used in business. In the dialog, we'll hear Karl and Marilyn, two friends who work at a publishing company. Karl is thinking about applying for a job at the company's Sydney office. He has some doubts though, so he asks Marilyn what she thinks. Listening Questions 1. How does Karl describe his approach to his career? 2. Why is Karl worried about the other candidates for the job he's interested in? 3. What does Marilyn say happens at the Sidney office?

In late November 2025, Will was told that what was thought to be a lingering infection was in fact advanced testicular cancer.Within about 36 hours of being rediagnosed he had been admitted to hospital and was starting an intensive 12-week BEP chemotherapy regimen.Will describes shock, dream-like dissociation, fear of death, and the balance between trying to feel positive, hopeful and grateful for the support he was receiving on the one hand, with space to feel gloom, hopelessness and fear on the other.Will and Ellie discuss uncertainty, loss of agency in healthcare, the pros and cons of researching your condition and treatment, upcoming RPLND open surgery, lack of in-house NHS mental health support, communication problems with appointments, and how returning to everyday life can feel disorientating.Lively Minds is still following an irregular schedule but we hope to get back to our monthly show soon.UK cancer charities mentioned in this conversation include:Maggies - https://www.maggies.org/MacMillian - https://www.macmillan.org.uk/Please note that this show does not constitute medical advice and is not a replacement for seeking professional help.

In the May 2026 Mailbag, Jason and Jeff tackle a series of compelling listener questions, starting with a deep dive into whether "vibe coding" and agentic AI are truly an existential threat to major SaaS companies like Salesforce and Snowflake. The duo also untangles the complicated corporate web of Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC vs. BIP), exploring why the company might finally be moving to ditch its limited partnership structure. Later, they revisit the ongoing struggles at The Trade Desk, debate the concept of "regret minimization" when dealing with massive winners like Rocket Lab and Nvidia, and discuss how to properly balance single-company risk versus overall portfolio volatility. 00:48 West Coast Game Time Rant 02:46 Mailbag and Discord Shoutout 03:56 Ryan Email and Mascot Story 05:47 Baseball Chaos to Investing Lesson 07:47 AI Versus SaaS Debate 11:15 Pricing Models and Moats 22:11 Brookfield BIP Versus BIPC Explained 26:38 Why BIPC Dropped and Simplification 30:25 Discord Questions Teaser 30:52 Trade Desk Doubts 35:54 Valuation Reality Check 38:55 Execution Not Value 40:10 Rocket Lab Concentration 41:55 Regret Minimization 46:55 Singles vs Home Runs 49:22 Vinnie Risk Trimming 50:06 Three Types of Risk 54:50 Money Unplugged Reflections Companies mentioned: ADBE, ADSK, BAM, BEP, BEPC, BIP, BIPC, CRM, NBIS, NVDA, RKLB, SHOP, SNOW, TTD Find where to listen & subscribe,  portfolio contests, and contact information at https://investingunscripted.com ***************************************** To get 15% off any paid plan at fiscal.ai, visit https://fiscal.ai/unscripted Listen to the Chit Chat Stocks Podcast for discussions on stocks, financial markets, super investors, and more.

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP422-Logistics-3.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for the third lesson in our series on English for logistics. In this lesson, we'll focus on duties, tariffs, and other cost factors. There was a time when logistics was a lot simpler than it is today, when economies were not nearly so interconnected. But in the second half of the 20th century, governments took down barriers to international trade. Soon companies were relying on complex supply chains stretching around the world, as they outsourced production and sold their goods abroad. With so many moving parts to these modern supply chains, it can be challenging to control costs. You're likely paying several different companies involved in moving and storing goods across oceans and continents and through the air. Each of those companies is trying to make a buck. And in many cases, you're also moving things across borders, which means you need to consider duties and tariffs – the taxes governments charge on imported goods. Talking about costs involves specific terminology used in logistics. But you'll need to know about more than just tariffs, duties, and other taxes. You'll also have to speak about regulations and compliance. And any conversation about costs will likely involve the vocabulary of risk, as you try to minimize the chances of something going wrong. In today's dialog, we'll rejoin a conversation between Cam and Anna. Cam is a production manager with a clothing company, while Anna works for a logistics firm. Cam is getting Anna's support with moving their clothing lines from manufacturers in Eastern Europe to markets in the United States. Listening Questions 1. What does Anna say are the biggest factors in discussing customs? 2. What point does Cam try to clarify by asking a more specific question? 3. What might be included in “landed costs” when discussing logistics?

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Luke Jillson shares how a subtle symptom—heaviness in his testicle—led to a testicular cancer diagnosis. With no pain, it would have been easy to ignore, but mentioning it during a routine physical set off a chain of events that led to early detection and immediate action.Initially diagnosed with early-stage embryonal carcinoma, Luke underwent an orchiectomy (testicle removal surgery) and later chose RPLND, removing nearly 30 lymph nodes that all came back clear. At that point, everything pointed to a best-case scenario—until follow-up testing revealed the cancer had spread to his lungs, forcing a sudden shift to BEP chemotherapy.Luke opens up about the physical toll of treatment, including fatigue and side effects, as well as the mental challenges that came with such an unexpected turn. From scan anxiety to continuing therapy during treatment, he shares how he navigated both the data-driven decisions and the emotional weight of cancer.This episode is a powerful reminder that testicular cancer symptoms don't always include pain, and that even early-stage diagnoses can change quickly. Luke's story highlights the importance of self-advocacy, staying vigilant during follow-up care, and addressing both the physical and mental sides of survivorship.Provide your feedback on the podcast:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/itbsurveyJoin The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we share some of our biggest investing mistakes: stocks we owned, sold too early, and watched soar afterward. From Apple Inc. to Alphabet Inc., Shopify Inc., Brookfield Corporation and more, we break down why we sold, what we learned, and how those experiences shaped our investing philosophy today. We also discuss the emotional side of investing, why patience matters, and how short-term thinking can destroy long-term returns. Plus, we react to Lululemon Athletica Inc. hiring a former Nike, Inc. executive as CEO and whether the selloff could create an opportunity for investors.

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP421-Logistics-2.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for the second lesson in our series on English for logistics. In this lesson, we're going to focus on routing and capacity. Look at the labels of the items on your desk or in your home and you'll appreciate just how critical international trade is. It's easy to take it all for granted and forget that the entire system depends on a very complex supply chain. Until, of course, politics gets in the way, and suddenly the whole world is thinking about logistics! Getting products and materials from point A to point B involves a lot of moving parts and a lot of important decisions. Manufacturers and retailers' business models depend on optimizing logistics. And central to that work is figuring out routing, or the particular pathway of shipments, as well as storage and capacity. Talking about routing requires special vocabulary related to transportation. You will also need to talk about how cargo is handled and how it is stored, or warehoused. And in discussing these matters, you'll find it useful to keep a broad perspective and be able to reject options that aren't quite right. In today's dialog, we'll rejoin a conversation between a production manager named Cam and a logistics manager named Anna. Cam's company, Boston Vintage, manufactures clothing in Eastern Europe for distribution in several parts of the world. Boston Vintage is working with Anna's company, Global Freight Express, to support their complex logistics needs. Listening Questions 1. Why does Cam reject the regular “carrier loop” as an option for transporting their goods? 2. What are some of the terms used to discuss shipping containers and capacity? 3. What possible problems does Anna mention related to “warehousing?” Premium Members: PDF Transcript | Quizzes | PhraseCast | Lesson Module Download: Podcast MP3>>> The post BEP 421 – English for Logistics 2: Routing and Capacity first appeared on Business English Pod :: Learn Business English Online.

Hay dos frases peligrosas en obra. La primera ya la conoces: “esto lo vemos en obra”. La segunda es su evolución natural: “esto lo arreglamos en el BEP”. En el episodio 203 de BIMrras hablamos de licitaciones BIM hechas con información a medias, de BEPs que son refritos de refritos y de cómo acabamos utilizando un documento pensado para organizar el trabajo como si fuera una herramienta para completar proyectos mal definidos. Spoiler: no funciona. El BEP puede ayudarte a ordenar equipos, procesos y flujos de información. Lo que no puede hacer es inventarse decisiones que nadie ha tomado. Mientras tanto, el modelo BIM empieza a hacer lo suyo. Sacar a la luz problemas que ya estaban ahí, pero que antes descubrías cuando ya estabas construyendo. Ahora los ves antes, sí, pero eso no significa que tengas claro qué hacer con ellos. Y ahí aparecen los modificados, las responsabilidades difusas y esa sensación de que alguien, en algún momento, decidió que esto ya se arreglaría más adelante. El BEP no hace milagros. Solo organiza mejor el desastre. Bienvenido al episodio 203 de BIMrras! Contenido del episodio: 00:00 Introducción y presentación del podcast 00:01:30 Experiencias con licitaciones BIM y problemas habituales 00:05:30 Falta de información y tiempos insuficientes en licitaciones 00:09:00 Uso de plantillas y refritos en documentos BEP 00:14:00 Debate sobre la utilidad real del BEP en proyectos deficientes 00:18:30 BEP como documento propositivo ante falta de información 00:23:30 Responsabilidades en proyecto vs ejecución 00:28:00 Problemas al modelar proyectos sin base BIM previa 00:33:00 Rol del modelo BIM en detección de errores de proyecto 00:38:00 Riesgos contractuales y modificados en obra 00:43:00 Debate sobre ejecutar proyectos no BIM con BIM 00:48:00 Costes, riesgos y beneficios de implementar BIM en ejecución 00:52:30 Limitaciones del BEP para resolver problemas de base 00:56:00 Conclusiones: el BEP no soluciona proyectos mal definidos

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP420-Logistics-1.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for the first lesson in our new series on English for logistics. In this lesson, we're going to focus on discussing modes of transport and shipping options. In international business, products rarely stay in one place for long. They move between suppliers, warehouses, ports, and customers across different countries and time zones. To manage all this successfully, we need to learn the language of logistics. Discussing logistics effectively starts with understanding and using key logistics vocabulary. This includes terms related to shipping schedules, transport arrangements, documentation, and responsibilities. If we're comfortable with the language, we can discuss plans clearly and confidently in real business situations. For starters, there are several basic logistics terms that everyone should know. From there, you can talk about different transport modes and incoterms, which define responsibilities of different players in the movement of goods. And as we plan and negotiate, it's useful to be able to state your priorities. In today's dialog, we'll join a conversation between Cam and Anna. Cam is a production manager with Boston Vintage, an American clothing company with manufacturing in eastern Europe. Anna is a logistics manager with Global Freight Express. Anna has been hired to help Boston Vintage with its complex logistics needs. Listening Questions 1. What are the different “modes” of transport that Cam and Anna discuss? 2. In deciding on how to move products from Europe to the US, what is Cam's priority consideration? 3. What abbreviations are used to talk about the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in shipping?

They dive into how they're personally navigating the noise, sharing recent portfolio additions such as Phinia (PHIN) and Clearway Energy that appear insulated from the macroeconomic volatility. They also unpack the AI software scare with deep dives into Toast, ServiceNow, and Procore, and Jason issues a warning about the hidden risks lurking in the booming private credit market.01:19 AI Tariffs Oil Backdrop03:38 Housekeeping Mailbag Plug04:42 Staying the Course07:18 Markets Recover Before Clarity12:04 Stock Pick PHIN19:01 Renewables Reality Check20:54 Clearway Energy Buy24:50 Energy Security and Oil Flows26:36 Oil And Geopolitics27:29 Krugman On Price Spikes30:33 Toast Stock Breakdown35:44 ServiceNow AI Strategy37:35 Procore Construction Software42:17 Private Credit Risks47:38 Staying Invested In Chaos49:19 Process Over HeadlinesCompanies mentioned: BAM, BEP, BX, CPNG, CWEN, DASH, ENPH, FOUR, KKR, NOW, ORCL, OWL, PCOR, PHIN, PYPL, SHOP, SQ, TOSTFind where to listen & subscribe,  portfolio contests, and contact information at https://investingunscripted.com*****************************************To get 15% off any paid plan at fiscal.ai, visit https://fiscal.ai/unscriptedListen to the Chit Chat Stocks Podcast for discussions on stocks, financial markets, super investors, and more.

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP116c-Charts-3.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for today's lesson on analyzing trends during a presentation in English. Business is a game of numbers. And whether you're in marketing, finance, sales, or operations, you have different metrics that tell you whether you're successful. Read any business report, and you'll see these metrics presented in charts and graphs. But charts and graphs aren't enough on their own. Sure, you can use them to present a snapshot of the current state. And you can show how different numbers have gone up or down relative to other numbers. But so what? The numbers are only useful if we can analyze them, learn from them, and make better decisions with them. When you analyze trends in a presentation, it's a good idea to clearly state your approach from the beginning. Then you can do things like describe the rate of change and speculate about future developments. You might also make specific predictions about what will happen and raise people's awareness of possible future trends. In today's dialog, we'll rejoin a presentation at a mobile company called Ambient. A director named Pat has been presenting results for sales and market share. Now Pat is digging deeper and analyzing the company's performance on one key metric: revenue per unit, or RPU. Listening Questions 1. What is Pat going to compare in his approach to analyzing trends? 2. What does Pat predict about his company's “RPU” in the future? 3. What possible future trend does Pat warn about at the end of the dialog?

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP115c-Charts-2.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for today's lesson on describing trends during a presentation in English. Every great presentation has two things: good content and skilled delivery. These aren't separate features. The content becomes good through skilled delivery. And skilled delivery means bringing the content alive, rather than just reading from a slide deck. This marriage of content and delivery is especially important with charts and graphs. Many people know that visuals can enhance a presentation. But we've all had the experience of seeing a graph that's so confusing that we come away feeling we know less, not more. So as a good presenter, you need to tell the graph's story. A graph's story is all about change. Or lack of change. When we are presenting a graph, it's always good to begin by introducing the theme, so people know what they're looking at. Then we can bring people's attention to specific parts of the graph. And we might describe how things are decreasing, staying the same, or increasing. In today's dialog, we'll rejoin a presentation from Pat, a director with a mobile phone company called Ambient. Pat is giving a presentation to his sales team about market share. He's talking about their own company as well as the competition, describing the trends in market share. Listening Questions 1. What does Pat say is the theme of the chart that he's showing? 2. Which company's market share decreased in 2007? 3. What does Pat say about the market share of all the smaller competitors in recent quarters?

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Dr. Darren Feldman, a genitourinary medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, provides a deep, evidence-based conversation on testicular cancer treatment, chemotherapy decision-making, and long-term survivorship. Dr. Feldman breaks down how cisplatin transformed testicular cancer from a fatal disease into one of the most curable solid tumors, even in cases of metastatic disease.The discussion explores the differences between BEP, EP, VIP, and TIP chemotherapy regimens, including when and why each is used, how doctors balance cure rates with toxicity, and why lung health, kidney function, age, and patient goals matter when choosing treatment. Dr. Feldman also explains why cisplatin remains superior to carboplatin in advanced germ cell tumors, when surveillance is preferred over treatment in stage 1 disease, and how overtreatment can carry long-term risks.Later in the episode, Dr. Feldman addresses common patient concerns around recurrence risk, radiation vs surveillance, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND), testosterone changes after chemotherapy, and misinformation surrounding alternative therapies.Provide your feedback on the podcast:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/itbsurveyHave a question for a future expert guest?

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Brian Carlson shares his powerful and rare experience of being diagnosed with testicular cancer twice, nearly a decade apart — first with an aggressive non-seminoma germ cell tumor, and later with seminoma affecting his remaining testicle. Diagnosed in his mid-20s the first time, Brian walks through how subtle pain led to rapid imaging, orchiectomy, and three cycles of BEP chemotherapy, followed by years of surveillance and recovery.Brian then speaks on the physical and mental toll of treatment, including the realities of chemotherapy side effects, trauma-related memory gaps, hearing loss, and long-term survivorship challenges. Brian opens up about navigating work, marriage, and mental health during treatment, as well as the shock of discovering a second testicular cancer diagnosis years later — this time during a period of major life upheaval that included separation, a new job, and relocation.Brian also offers an honest look at life after bilateral orchiectomy, including the challenges of low testosterone, delays in testosterone replacement therapy, mood changes, and learning to advocate for himself medically. He explains how testosterone replacement ultimately may have helped normalize tumor markers. The episode closes with Brian's reflections on survivorship, the importance of community, and why speaking openly about testicular cancer, men's mental health, and self-advocacy can make a life-saving difference.Provide your feedback on the podcast:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/itbsurveyJoin The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP103c-Charts-1.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for today's lesson on using visuals and describing charts and trends in an English presentation. We've all sat through boring presentations, with PowerPoints that are just slide after slide of too much text. If all you're doing is reading off your slides, then why do a presentation at all? And if your audience falls asleep, then you've effectively communicated nothing. If you really want to grab people's attention, you use visuals. That could mean not just pictures, but graphs and charts. There's no better way to represent data than with graphs. But the graph doesn't do all the work for you. You still need to give it life and make it a seamless part of your overall presentation. The first thing you might do is introduce the point you want to make, before you use the visual. And remember that your audience might have some understanding of the topic already, so you should acknowledge that. And you can make it dramatic by using foreshadowing and highlighting important points. And just like in any presentation, it's good to use clear transitions between points and slides. In today's dialog, we'll hear a presentation from Pat, a director with a cell, or mobile phone manufacturer called Ambient. He's presenting to the company's sales team about how they've regained market share after a rough couple of years. We will hear how Pat uses visuals to enhance his presentation. Listening Questions 1. At the start of his presentation, what does Pat say they will focus on? 2. When talking about the company called Sirus, what does Pat “draw people's attention” to? 3. What does Pat say to transition to showing information about Ambient?

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Colin Safley — an opera singer and suit salesman — shares his experience navigating testicular cancer while facing a decision that could impact both his health and his livelihood. When treatment options included BEP chemotherapy, Colin was forced to weigh survival against the potential risk to his lungs, ultimately choosing a path that prioritized protecting his ability to sing. His story sheds light on how cancer treatment decisions can extend far beyond medicine, especially for patients whose careers depend on their bodies in highly specific ways.Colin also opens up about the emotional side of diagnosis, including what he describes as “coming out of the cancer closet” — deciding who to tell, when to tell them, and how much to share. The episode explores the vulnerability of living publicly with cancer while trying to maintain independence, humor, and control. During treatment, Colin found comfort in unexpected ways, from bringing plushies to chemo to reclaiming his identity through creativity and play.That sense of humor carried through even the hardest moments, including hair loss, which he turned into a statement by dressing as several bald characters for Halloween. Through laughter, honesty, and self-expression, Colin reframes survivorship not as a linear recovery but as an evolving process. His story highlights key themes in testicular cancer awareness, survivorship, and men's health — reminding listeners that there's no single right way to face cancer, only the way that preserves who you are.Provide your feedback on the podcast:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/itbsurveyJoin The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

In 2021, Brian Vesall noticed some pain in one of his testicles when getting in his car.  He sought medical attention, which led to his getting an ultrasound.  After briefly looking at the scan, a urologist confirmed to Brian that he had Stage 2A testicular cancer.  He underwent an orchiectomy to remove the cancerous testicle, followed by an aggressive chemotherapy regimen of bleomycin, etopiside and cisplatin.  But he wasn't done.  Brian also underwent an additional surgical procedure to remove approximately 30 lymph nodes.  As daunting as his treatment was, Brian chose to address it with a sense of humor, which he still has after achieving survivorship and advocating for other men diagnosed with testicular cancer.   Brian's cancer journey began when he felt pain in a testicle as he was getting in his car.  Upon further inspection, he noticed a "hard spot on one side."  He immediately went to see his primary physician, who sent him to a urologist.  The urologist called for an ultrasound and only minutes after seeing its results told Brian he had Stage 2A testicular cancer.  The diagnosis was confirmed with Alpha-Fetaprotein and BHCG, or, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin tests, whose results were far above the normal range.   Addressing his cancerous testicle meant just one remedy, an orchiectomy, surgery that would remove the testicle.  Diagnosed on September 27, 2021, Brian had the procedure done just three days later.  He was told to avoid any lifting and really, just about any type of strenuous physical activity.   In November 2021, the surgery was followed by three rounds of BEP chemotherapy, which stood for bleomycin, etopiside and cisplatin.  Brian said he suffered the usual side effects, including cognitive issues, fatigue and hair loss.    In addition, Brian Vesall had to undergo an additional surgical procedure known as RPLND, or Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection in June 2022, to remove approximately 30 lymph nodes   Brian's health is pretty much back to normal, but a byproduct of his treatment regimen is that he suffers from retrograde ejaculation, meaning that semen travels backward into the bladder during orgasm instead of exiting the penis.   By way of advice, Brian Vesall says if you experience the symptoms of testicular cancer, you should act right away, and at all times, be your own advocate   Additional Resources:   Support Groups:   Man Up To Cancer: https://www.manuptocancer.org   The Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation: https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org   Brian's Speech at TCAF's San Diego Conference: https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/blog/tcc-2024-vesall   Brian's Appearance on the TCAF "It Takes Balls" podcast: https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/blog/brian-vesall-it-takes-balls-podcast-guest            

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP081c-Meetings-Finishing.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for today's lesson on finishing a meeting in English. We'll learn how to summarize action points and wrap up the meeting. A well-run meeting can be productive and useful. But a poorly run meeting can leave everyone feeling like their time has been wasted. And one of the big differences between good and bad meetings is how they end. A good meeting doesn't slowly run out of energy. Instead, there's a clear ending to it. And people come out of the meeting with a strong sense of purpose and a clear idea of what they need to do. Without a sense of purpose, people might feel like the meeting generated a lot of discussion but nothing more. Giving a strong finish to a meeting isn't actually that hard to do. First off, you need to be clear that the meeting is about to end. That gives people a chance to collect their thoughts. Next, you can summarize the action points and assign tasks. You may also want to emphasize how important they are to give some extra motivation. Then you can wrap up the meeting with some closing thoughts. In today's dialog, we'll join a meeting at a bank. The team has been discussing some recent issues and future plans. You will hear Lisa provide a strong finish to the meeting with James, Bryan, Charles, and Cecilia. Listening Questions 1. What question does Lisa ask the group before stating the action items? 2. What does Lisa emphasize about James planned action? 3. What does Lisa say to officially end the meeting?

In this powerful episode of It Takes Balls, Australian guest Matt P shares his extraordinary path to a testicular cancer diagnosis that initially appeared to be a rare and life-threatening sarcoma. What began as persistent back pain, rising blood pressure, and unexplained fatigue spiraled into the discovery of a football-sized tumor wrapped around major organs, including his kidney and psoas muscle. Matt opens up about the terrifying weeks when doctors believed he faced a 40–50% survival rate, until a biopsy revealed something astonishing: the massive abdominal tumor was actually metastatic embryonal carcinoma, a highly aggressive but highly chemo-responsive form of testicular cancer.Matt walks listeners through the intense whirlwind that followed—from emergency oncology appointments to an accelerated BEP chemotherapy trial, dramatic tumor shrinkage, and a complex, multi-surgeon retroperitoneal lymph node dissection that ultimately saved his leg, his kidney, and his life. He candidly discusses the physical toll of chemo, the mental strain of uncertainty, and the resilience required to fight through complications, painful procedures, and the long road to recovery. His story highlights the importance of early detection, knowing the lesser-known symptoms such as back pain from metastatic spread, and advocating for yourself when something feels off.Today, Matt uses his experience to educate other men through TikTok, openly discussing testicular cancer symptoms, chemotherapy side effects, fertility preservation, and life after treatment. His message is clear: listen to your body, don't delay seeking help, and never underestimate the power of community support.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Matt Guilloty shares his intense journey through stage IIIB non-seminomatous testicular cancer. What he believed was a hydrocele kept growing until his testicle reached “the size of an avocado,” eventually leading to a shocking diagnosis delivered while he was driving on the highway. Matt describes the moment he learned his AFP tumor markers were 3,389, his cancer had spread to lymph nodes and lungs, and he needed BEP chemotherapy.Matt opens up about the physical and mental toll of four rounds of chemo - nausea, hiccups, fear before each cycle - and how he juggled treatment with grad school. He reflects on finding support through nurses, fellow survivors, and online communities, and how skateboarding helped him stay grounded. Matt also revisits his major post-chemo RPLND surgery and his long recovery back to mobility and strength.Now nearly three years into surveillance, Matt shares what the experience taught him about early detection, trusting his oncology team, and staying positive through fear.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP068c-Interruptions.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for today's English for meetings lesson on how to deal with interruptions during a meeting. Meetings are a very important part of work life. They are where decisions are made, relationships are built, and work is coordinated. When meetings go smoothly, they can feel very productive. But meetings can easily become messy and unfocused. In many cases, people compete for time and attention during meetings. They interrupt each other to give new ideas, disagree, or try to get their way. Knowing how to deal with interruptions is a critical skill if you want to participate fully in a meeting. Interrupting people is easier if you learn some useful phrases. You can also learn language to help you stop an interruption and finish what you were saying. In some cases, you might need to concede someone else's point, either partly or fully. When we concede a point, we are saying “okay, you're right.” Sometimes that's the key to moving on after an interruption. In today's dialog, we'll join a meeting at a manufacturing company. Bill is the production manager and Mei Lin and Sam work in HR. They are discussing staffing and recruiting for a new production line. Bill is keen to hire new staff, but Sam and Mei Lin want to explore alternative approaches so there's a lot of disagreement and interrupting during the meeting. Listening Questions 1. What does Bill say is the purpose of the meeting? 2. What is one of the expressions Mei Lin uses to interrupt Bill when he's speaking? 3. What does Bill say to get back to what he was trying to say after being interrupted?

Aaf zat in een week waarin ze vooral bezig was met Lily Allen en het fascisme. Gelukkig biedt de nieuwe burgemeester van New York een sprankel hoop. Lies introduceert geheel tegen ieders wil het begrip rattenkoning, en voelde door Allerzielen haar katholieke roots - op een goede manier. We gaan het hebben over oversharen; met Bep van de administratie je gehele stoelgangcyclus bespreken, je medepassagiers in de trein vermoeien met je relatieperikelen. Er zitten ook heus leuke kanten aan en natuurlijk is het een menselijk instinct uit de oertijd. Maar er is een tijd en plaats voor alles, ook voor verhalen over constipatie.

When Australian doctor Steve Coates suddenly developed severe abdominal pain during a hospital shift, he never imagined he'd become the patient himself. Diagnosed with testicular cancer that had already spread to his retroperitoneal lymph nodes, Steve's experience as both physician and patient offers a rare, deeply human perspective on the realities of testicular cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy, and recovery.In this episode of It Takes Balls, Steve shares how his unique vantage point reshaped the way he practices medicine, from understanding the emotional toll of cancer treatment to recognizing the long-term anxiety that follows remission. He also discusses the challenges of balancing fatherhood, mental health, and vulnerability while going through orchiectomy, BEP chemotherapy, and the ups and downs of follow-up scans and tumor markers.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

Jesse Beck's journey with stage 3 testicular cancer began in an unexpected way: persistent back pain. At first, he chalked it up to getting older or from dancing again after years away, but the pain escalated until he could hardly walk or sit. Doctors initially suspected autoimmune issues, but tests eventually revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a tumor pressing into his spine, and dangerous blood clots in his iliac veins.His diagnosis of 100% seminoma was both devastating and a relief - devastating because the tumor had spread, but a relief because seminoma typically responds well to chemotherapy. Jesse endured multiple ER visits, a painful orchiectomy, blood thinners, and three rounds of BEP chemotherapy. Within days of starting treatment, he felt the first real relief from the crushing spinal pain.Throughout his journey, dance became his anchor. Even while using a cane and conserving energy, Jesse continued choreographing and teaching ballet classes as a way to hold onto joy and creativity during treatment. Support from his family and friends in both California and New York helped carry him through long hospital stays, setbacks, and scanxiety.Now in remission but still managing lingering blood clots, Jesse is focusing on rebuilding both physically and mentally. His story is a reminder that back pain can be an overlooked symptom of testicular cancer, and that recovery is not just about being “cured," it's also about navigating life after treatment with patience, resilience, and support.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

In this episode of It Takes Balls, 29-year-old Christopher Beck shares his intense and ongoing fight against a rare and aggressive form of testicular cancer - one that didn't even begin in his testicle.Christopher opens up about the strange onset of symptoms that eventually led to a stunning diagnosis: embryonal carcinoma presenting as a retroperitoneal mass. Despite having no tumors in his testicles, pathology confirmed testicular cancer, placing him in a rare category of patients with extragonadal germ cell tumors.What follows is a relentless journey: four rounds of BEP chemotherapy, followed by a post-chemo RPLND at Indiana University. Christopher thought he was in the clear until new scans revealed a recurrence a few months later. What began as one battle turned into two, then three. He entered a clinical trial and underwent high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue.Now, Christopher is enrolled in a cutting-edge CAR T-cell therapy trial - a hopeful step forward. He shares candid reflections on the mental weight of recurrence, the isolation of dealing with a rare cancer, and the importance of keeping faith while making space for both grief and gratitude.Christopher also speaks openly about how cancer reshaped his identity, tested his relationships, and pushed him to live more deliberately, with purpose, presence, and patience.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

In this episode of It Takes Balls, husband, father, and testicular cancer survivor Ryan Rayfield shares his powerful story of early detection, recurrence, and the long road through surgery, chemotherapy, and recovery.Ryan's journey began mid-flight on a work trip when unexpected groin pain led to a self-check that changed everything. Diagnosed with stage 1S non-seminoma, he opted for a robotic RPLND at the University of Pennsylvania in hopes of avoiding chemotherapy. With clean scans and pathology, it seemed the worst was behind him - until a month later, rising HCG tumor markers revealed a microscopic recurrence that imaging couldn't catch.Ryan reflects on the mental toll of starting BEP chemotherapy after having hoped to avoid it entirely. He candidly describes chemo's physical and emotional side effects, his experience balancing treatment with fatherhood and grad school, and the strength it took to accept what he once feared most.The episode also explores how Ryan's connection to another survivor, former podcast guest Alex Volynsky, helped guide his treatment choices, highlighting the power of peer support, social media, and storytelling in cancer care. Now approaching two years in remission, Ryan speaks with clarity about scanxiety, post-treatment anxiety, and how cancer reshaped his health, perspective, and purpose.From fertility concerns and proactive surgery to community, parenting, and the lasting impacts of survivorship, Ryan's story is a reminder that healing isn't linear, and that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?
