For the first time, I’m on the other side of the mic—as the guest on the You May Also Like Podcast, hosted by radio and podcast expert Matt Cundill.

In this episode, I share my journey from dreaming of radio in Edmonton to building an online English learning business in Mexico—and launching the Real English Conversations Podcast, which now reaches listeners in over 10 countries.

We Talk About:

• How I help English learners gain real-world communication confidence

• What it takes to grow a podcast with global reach

• Why authentic conversations matter more than grammar drills

🎙️ New Episode – Finally! And It’s a Special One...

After a long break, we’re back—and what better way to kick things off than with a true Edmonton radio legend?

In this episode, I sit down with Terry Evans—longtime morning show host on K-97 and the voice behind the Reluctantly... podcast—for a real conversation about confidence, mistakes, and staying true to yourself when the pressure’s on.

We talk about how Terry got started in radio, some of the wild things that happen live on-air, what it really means to be confident (especially when you're nervous), and how to handle those tough, awkward conversations at work. It’s honest, funny, and packed with wisdom you’ll want to hear—especially if you’ve ever held back from speaking up because you were afraid of making a mistake.

Whether you’re learning English, trying to be more confident, or just love a good story from behind the mic—this episode is for you.
