Ever wonder why the whole world's outsourcing to the Philippines now? There's a reason. Actually... there are seven solid reasons—and one more that might matter a lot more than you think.Outsourcing used to mean India. Not anymore. In 2010, everything changed—and the Philippines quietly became the global leader in business process outsourcing.I've hired over 50 full-time Filipino workers. I've seen firsthand why they outperform, outlast, and flat-out care more than anything I ever got from freelancers or agencies.So what makes the Philippines the best-kept secret in global hiring—and how did it become the world's outsourcing giant?In this episode, I'm breaking down the 7 core reasons businesses are shifting their outsourcing to the Philippines—and the bonus reason that might be even more important for your team:

Did you know that up to 40% of children in the US struggle with reading by the fourth grade? In the UK, that's the same as years 4-5 in Primary School! In this episode, Matthew Head sits down with Dr. David Hurford, a research scientist, professor at Pittsburgh State University, and founder of CARRD, a non-profit dedicated to helping people with dyslexia become confident readers.Dr. Hurford shares his personal journey from aspiring astronomer to leading expert in developmental psychology, where he focuses on why children struggle with reading and how to solve these challenges. His early research revealed that teaching reading effectively hinges on structured literacy—a method centred on decoding words as a systematic code.We discuss the emotional impact of dyslexia on children, including anxiety and self-doubt, and how early intervention can transform not just academic outcomes but emotional well-being. Dr. Hurford explains how CARRD offers affordable evaluations and interventions, even creating tools like the free online dyslexia evaluation platform, Dyslexia101.com, to make resources accessible globally.One of the standout moments in this episode is Dr. Hurford's perspective on dyslexia: while it's important to highlight strengths, it's misleading to tell children they have “superpowers.” Instead, he encourages parents to focus on providing accurate information and unconditional support.Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone navigating dyslexia yourself, this episode is packed with actionable insights and hope for creating a more inclusive, literate world.Key Topics:Early intervention changes lives—don't wait to seek support if a child is struggling to read.Use structured literacy techniques to teach reading effectively.Focus on your child's abilities and provide unconditional support rather than perpetuating myths.Free online resources like Dyslexia101.com can offer quick and accessible support.Literacy is a human right —societies thrive when everyone can read and critically evaluate information.Timestamps00:13 – 00:55: Introduction—Meet Dr. David Hurford and his mission to help people with dyslexia01:10 – 03:43: Dr. Hurford's journey from aspiring astronomer to expert in developmental psychology03:56 – 07:15: The emotional impact of dyslexia on children—anxiety, depression, and the power of intervention08:27 – 12:39: Why English is a challenging language to learn and how structured literacy addresses this13:15 – 15:08: Addressing myths like the “superpower” narrative and focusing on real strengths21:47 – 24:13: The creation of Dyslexia101.com and making evaluations accessible globally27:37 – 31:01: The importance of educating children about their dyslexia with tools like the I Have Dyslexia book series35:11 – 38:18: Why science-based reading methods are crucial for societal progress47:10 – 50:35: Dr. Hurford's reflections on his career and advice for parents seeking answersFor more hacks tip and tricks for dyslexia and full show notes please visit Dyslexia Life Hacks.Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter

I don't think there's another academic pursuit that's used as a metaphor for uselessness quite as much. Maybe basket weaving.  And yet, as content designers know, English majors can become one of technology's secret weapons. Speaking of secret weapons... Today's guest might be one of the most impressive people in content design.  Sammie Spector is the content design lead at Condé Nast, where she looks after brands including Vogue, The New Yorker, Condé Nast Traveler, GQ, Glamour, Architectural Digest, Vanity Fair, Pitchfork, Wired, and Bon Appétit. And she's one of the most impressive people I know. She has an incredible work ethic. Not only does she hold down a demanding job, she grades students and teaches workshops for UX Content Collective, and oh...she was an English major too. Which is exactly what we talk about today. How English majors can stop feeling helpless, and start thinking about their careers. But we don't stop there. We cover: Why content design has a pipeline problem, and how to fix it What it's like working at a publishing company versus a traditional "tech" company Why English majors should start thinking early about how to adapt their skills to tech What content design can learn from software engineering to fix our graduate shortage Sammie's wisdom should be heard by everyone in the industry. Send this to your friendly neighbourhood English grad, and give them a smile: it's gonna be okay.  Connect with Sammie:  Sammie Spector on LinkedIn Listeners get 20% off podcasts and workshops at UX Content Collective!

Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to a guest whose wisdom and insights are truly unparalleled: Naba Iritah Shenmira. From the esteemed Dogon lineage of the Gulmu region in Africa, Naba Iritah is a healer who embodies a lineage that's deeply connected to ancestral knowledge and traditions.  After his father's passing, Naba Iritah dedicated his life to claiming the initiatic heritage and healing knowledge of his bloodline in order to carry on the mission of his Ancestors, doing full health consultations and Bayuali Earth Energy Readings through Ankhkasta Natural Healing.  We discuss what it genuinely means to learn from indigenous cultures and the delicate balance between individualism and community that shapes cultures across the globe, touching upon the essence of humility and self-respect as non-negotiables when interacting with other cultures, the role of ego in spiritual processes, and the risks we face when commodifying cultural and spiritual practices. Dive with us into the stories that shaped our modern world, and we venture to understand the collaborative nature and origin of the profound energies resonating from the pyramids and temples of the Nile Valley.  DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

In this special episode, Dinesh considers in-depth the question of whether the United States is a democracy or a republic.  Dinesh explores several basic questions such as: why do majorities have a right to rule? What distinguishes ancient from modern democracy? Why English democracy gave virtually unlimited powers to parliament. How Madison and the founders dealt with the problem of tyranny of the majority.  Dinesh concludes by summarizing what kind of society America was designed to be, and by posing the "conflict of visions" whose resolution will determine the nation's future..

While studying with Reggie Workman as an undergraduate at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, he was driven by a recurring quest to find his voice and develop his own concept of jazz, which he has termed 'Interactive jazz: Jazz as a New Visual Art.' He extended this concept while pursuing his Master's degree in Music Technology at New York University. In 2015 he premiered his new show entitled Abstract Expressionism in Jazz, an hour-long jazz performance he developed over the past two years to re-identify jazz as a form of Abstract Expressionism. As both a leader and composer, Soul has released four jazz albums since 2007 and has participated in numerous tours and international jazz festivals in China, Japan, and Korea. Ray has also worked at Jazz at Lincoln Center and at the Museum of Modern Art. He is currently working as an assistant director for the Global Initiative at Berklee College of Music and pursuing his Doctor of Education degree in Higher Education Administration at Northeastern University.    YouTube: https://linktr.ee/thebestmusicpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebestmusicpodcast  Blog: https://blog.bestmusiccoach.com  Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/thebestmusicpod  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebestmusicpodcast/    #RaySoul #seuaprendiz #jazz    0:00 Intro  2:10 Warm-up questions  5:46 Ray's creative process  7:55 Ray's work in the movie industry  12:45 Ray's experience as an immigrant  20:25 Asian artists and the mainstream  23:45 Advocacy for Asian artists  27:15 Seu Aprendiz  37:50 Why English?  41:55 One Soul Fellowship  43:55 Marking yourself as an artist  49:30 Lifestyle: Sleep  54:50 Lifestyle: Mindfulness & meditation  58:51 Lifestyle: Exercise  1:01:00 Lifestyle: How do people in your life support you?  1:08:20 Lifestyle: How do you define yourself?  1:09:50 Practice: Time of day  1:11:20 Practice: Maximum effective duration  1:16:00 Practice: Would you practice?  1:18:50 Creativity: Time of day  1:23:10 Creativity: Burnout  1:25:50 Songwriting: Inspiration  1:30:40 Performance anxiety    #musicians #songwriter #songwriters #composers #musicmajor #musicmajors #musiceducator #musiceducators #musiceducation #podcast #thebestmusicpodcast #clips #musicpodcast #singer #guitarist #guitarplayer #trombonist #trumpet #violin #viola #cello #bass #brass #trombone #mandolin #banjo #drums #percussion #timpani #marimba #oboe #sax #saxophone #clarinet #basoon #alto #soprano #tenor #piano #keyboard #musicians #songwriter #songwriters #composers #musicmajor #musiceducator #musicpodcast #singersongwriter #musiceducation #singer #trumpet #violin #viola #cello #bass #trombone #musiclife #musicmaker #musicteacher #drums #percussion #saxophone #clarinet #guitar #piano #podcast #thebestmusicpodcast #musicislife #musicindustry #PandoraPodcasts    Logo, Intro Video, and Branding: Arron Leishman  Audio and Video: Zach Ramey zacherylramey@gmail.com  Dan's Thumbnail Photo: John Mollura Photography

Unsurprisingly, we're back in lockdown once again. But that also has meant is that I have been able to watch a bit more anime (while juggling everything else I have to do). In this episode, I talk about three rather different anime I have been trying out this lockdown. Why English dubs can work so well for comedy anime, what I like in a battle-shounen protagonist, where sports & idol anime are similar and more! I highly recommend this episode to newer anime fans in particular! Anime Mentioned: Golden Boy (1995), Jujutsu Kaisen (2020), Idoly Pride (2021). SEND ME A VOICE SUB!

Punctuation has been defined in many ways. Some grammarians use the analogy of stitching: punctuation as the basting that holds the fabric of the language in shape. Another writer tells us that punctuation marks are the traffic signals of language:they tell us to slow down, notice this, take a detour, and stop. But the best of all, I think, is the simple advice given by the style book of a national newspaper:that punctuation is "a courtesy designed to help readers to understand a story without stumbling.". Examples: "What would you do with the king?" "What? Would you? With the king?" "A woman, without her man, is nothing." "A woman:without her, man is nothing." "Why English is crap" Have you ever asked yourself... Why when the stars are out, that can be seen, but when the lights are out, they cannot be seen? Why when one gets fit one is healthy, but when one has a fit one is ill? Why a fast horse runs and fast colours don't Why one can ship by truck and send a truck by ship? Why a seeded loaf of bread has seeds in it, but seeded raisins have them taken out? Why one's house goes up in flames at the same time as it is burning down? Also, examples of the "double-negative" which is regarded as sub-standard English where there is no intention of having the two negatives cancel each other out. In other words it does nothing for language. However some people who pride themselves on speaking standard English are sometimes caught out by a no no. "He can't make friend with no one" "She doesn't never eat since she's been on that diet" " I never saw nobody" "They didn't know nothing"
