#334 From Employee to Entrepreneur: Busi...

Michael Lavers
About this episode

Rob from the Business English Podcast joins me for a fun discussion about jobs, work, business, and entrepreneurship.

We share some cultural experiences both in the UK and abroad, the pros and cons of working for yourself, dream jobs, public speaking confidence, switching off after work, and much more. We also discuss a lot of fantastic and useful English expressions that you can use both in and out of the workplace.

Don't forget - Rob and I also recorded an episode on his podcast about polite ways to say 'no' in English. Perhaps after this one, you could check that out too.
