Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, or good night, depending on where you're watching this around the world.

Here in the UK, it's the morning.

I'm recording this at 10am, and I've already had quite a productive morning.

I woke up at half six, jumped in the shower, came downstairs, made myself a cup of coffee.

I downed the coffee to prepare myself for my first class bright and early.

It was a lovely class with a lovely student.

Then I got changed, went for a run in the rain as well,

because yes, it's been spitting all morning so far.

It's been raining just a little bit.

It's been drizzling, and I thought, well, before my next class, I'm going to record a podcast all about business.

So I hope you are into the topic.

I hope you like this podcast.

And on that note, let's get started.

The first question I have to ask you is, are you interested in business?

I assume if you've clicked on this video, this podcast, you must like the business world.

You must be relatively interested in shops, buying things, companies, entrepreneurship.

Because if not, what are you doing here?

I'm only kidding.

I'm only teasing you.

I'm only joking.

because this is a topic that, whether you like it or not, applies to everyone.

Because it is related to the world economy.

And it's related to the cost of living and your quality of life.

Because, you know, we all have to work.

If you are an adult watching this, of course, you could be unemployed.

You could be a student.

You could be living off benefits from the state whilst you're looking for another job.

But I reckon the vast majority of you work for a living.

Of course, how are you going to pay for everything if not?

How are you going to pay for the food in your fridge?

For the petrol that you need to fill up the tank to be able to drive from A to B?

or even if you don't drive, maybe to get the train or the bus or the tram to go wherever you want to go.

So even if you're not necessarily interested in the world of business, don't worry because this applies to everyone.

And I'm also going to be chatting quite a lot about work in general.

And And for me, this is a lovely topic.

I love business.

I listen to business podcasts.

I have my own business as well.

My business doesn't really have a name, but if it did have a name, it would be English with Lewis.

But it's not registered as a limited company.

in the future, if I'm extremely successful, I could register my company officially.

But for the time being, I am an individual, a freelancer,

a self-employed teacher, and I suppose content creator.

I don't like the word influencer.

Yeah, it doesn't sound very good.

But content creator, you know, it has a nice ring to it.

It sounds a lot better.

Or I just prefer to call myself an English teacher, an online English teacher.

But enough about me and more about some more generic questions related to the topic.

And each of these questions actually includes a phrasal verb or a nice piece of advanced vocabulary.

So let me read them and answer them.

And I want you to think about how you would answer them as well.

And as always, these are questions that I've been asking my students this week in the British English Internation Club.

If you want to join my group classes, there is, as always, a link in the description.

Thumbs up.

So number one, what makes a company stand out from its competitors.

If a company stands out from its competitors, it means it is different from its competitors,

usually in a good way, but not necessarily.

Well, I'd say that advertising,

marketing, quality, and customer service are some important factors to allow your company to stand out from its competitors.

I have an iPhone, I have AirPods, and I have a MacBook.

So I'm a bit of an Apple guy, to be honest.

So let's look at the case of Apple.

Because Apple stands out from its competitors because of the design and the attention to detail and the logo as well,

the logo of Apple.

I think it's beautiful.

And you can see always when somebody is using a MacBook because you've got that big Apple logo.

The same goes for an iPhone.

So the design and the brand recognition of Apple allows it to stand out from its competitors.

But let's think about other examples.

Which companies could we think of?

Let's go Tesla.

Tesla, Elon Musk's company of electric vehicles.

It's true that in the last year or so, the company hasn't been doing that well.

And part of the reason for that is,

well, China is very competitive when it comes to making electric vehicles much more affordable and essentially copying the design of Teslas.

But the thing that's been even more damaging for the brand reputation of Tesla has been its charismatic

and a little bit crazy CEO, Elon Musk, the richest man on planet Earth.

because he's got a little bit too much involved in politics.

And he started saying some kind of crazy things.

And that makes the company stand out, but for all the wrong reasons.

So I think profits of Tesla have been tumbling over the last year because of these two main factors.

but previously Tesla stood out from its competitors

because it was innovative forward thinking

and it was a little bit of a fashion statement so

if you were driving a Tesla other people would almost look at you

and think oh that's a Tesla that's cool so it'd give you

that kind of feeling and that profile whenever you were using that product.

The same goes for Apple.

There are many more examples, but you get the idea of how a company can stand out from the competition.

Now, number two, have you ever set up a business or thought about starting one?

Set up a business is to create, establish, or found a business.

Now, I guess in my case, I've had a couple of situations that are similar to this,

whilst not exactly being me setting up a business.

As you well know, I am my own boss.

I am a freelancer.

So I kind of set up my own business 18 months ago now,

when I embarked on this journey to only depend on myself to earn a living.

And so far, so good.

100

It's gone really well, much better than in my previous job.

101

So I have to give myself a pat on the back for that.

102

But it's hard work.

103

I work a lot.

104

I work a lot more than the average person who has a nine to five job.

105

Of course, it gives me a lot of freedom as well to travel, work remotely.

106

But the number of hours I work, it is endless. So that's this experience.

107

But before then, I had the experience of helping my friend and business partner to set up my old company, Teachify.

108

And at Teachify, I had a small percentage of the profits per year.

109

But I didn't set it up myself.

110

I joined as the first employee after about six months of its existence.

111

So yeah, you could say I have an entrepreneurial spirit and an entrepreneurial mind.

112

But don't get me wrong.

113

There are days when I think, what if I just got a simple nine to five job?

114

Or what if I just got a job in a school to be able to take advantage of school holidays?

115

This does cross my mind from time to time.

116

But that's more of our long-term backup plan if my current company doesn't go according to plan.

117

Now, what about you?

118

Have you ever set up a business or thought about starting one?

119

Let me know in the comments.

120

Number three, have you ever had to deal with a difficult colleague or customer?

121

Remember, to deal with is to handle.

122

To, yeah, handle, to deal with, to manage.

123

They're possible synonyms.

124

Well, customers, I guess there have been a couple of students who have joined my classes

125

and then never actually attended a lesson, but they've still paid.

126

And then they've asked for a refund.

127

And in that case, I'm like, but you have the possibility to join the classes.

128

So I'm in my right to not give you a refund.

129

And that is my policy.

130

Of course, I will cancel any classes or reschedule them for students.

131

But if they pay and they have the choice to join classes, but they don't, then it's their fault.

132

So in that way, yes, I've had difficult customers, but not very many.

133

And colleagues, well, in my last job where I was the head of studies

134

and I was managing the teachers a little bit more,

135

there were some teachers who weren't the best when it came to organizational skills,

136

or they weren't very reliable.

137

For example, I would wake up and I'd check my phone, I'd check my email, and then all of a sudden,

138

I'd receive a message from one of the teachers saying, Oh, Lewis, I'm really sorry.

139

I can't teach this class.

140

Or I'm really sorry.

141

I've got a bit of a cough.

142

Can you cover for me?

143

And this is absolutely normal and understandable if it only happens from time to time.

144

But there were some of my colleagues where it happened every couple of weeks.

145

So after a while, we had no choice but to say, I'm sorry, this isn't really working out.

146

So we've got to let you go.

147

And to let someone go is maybe a nicer way of saying we have to fire you.

148

We have to sack you.

149

No, number four.

150

Do you think word of mouth marketing is still powerful?

151

Word of mouth marketing is simply from recommendations.

152

When an existing client or customer recommends a service or a product to a friend or family,

153

and they buy it from that recommendation.

154

That is word of mouth marketing or advertising.

155

Don't confuse it with mouth to mouth.

156

Because mouth to mouth is when somebody is unable to breathe.

157

So you have to like give them the kiss of life.

158

Where your lips touch and you have to blow oxygen into someone who is unable to breathe.

159

I say this because in Spanish it is el boca a boca, which is mouth to mouth.

160

But yes, in response to the answer, 100%.

161

Word of mouth marketing is so powerful. So powerful.

162

I think it is still the most powerful type of marketing.

163

And that's why the best advertising and marketing that any business owner can do

164

is by focusing on the product or service that they create or they give.

165

Because if you do a good job, then the word is going to get out and lots of people are going to recommend other people.

166

I say this for my own classes as well.

167

I have a few regular students who've recommended my services to other of their friends,

168

and now they have become regular students.

169

So you know who you are if you're watching or listening to this.

170

Thank you so much for recommending me, because word-of-mouth marketing is pivotal.

171

It's critical.

172

It is of the utmost importance.

173

Now, number five, is the consumer is always right a good philosophy?

174

Ah, they say this a lot with bars and restaurants.

175

And I kind of disagree, but I'm on the fence.

176

Because, of course, you want to make the consumer, the customer, as happy as possible.

177

And you should pull out all the stops to ensure that that happens.

178

But there are also times when you have a very difficult customer.

179

If you imagine somebody going into a restaurant and they're constantly finding even the tiniest error,

180

the tiniest mistake in a dish that the chefs have made.

181

At some point, you have to just be like, really?

182

Come on.

183

I'm doing my best.

184

I'm trying to provide you with the best deal possible and the best meal possible.

185

And some people, unfortunately, will just never be satisfied.

186

So the customer is almost always right.

187

Now, number six, is it worth taking out a loan to start a business?

188

And take out a loan is to get a loan, to borrow money from the bank.

189

Now, for my own business, I didn't need to take out a loan because I didn't need an initial investment because I don't have an office.

190

I don't need to buy lots of products to then sell it for a profit.

191

So that's one of the reasons why I was able to take the risk,

192

quote unquote, of starting my own business because I didn't need to risk any of my own money up front.

193

But of course, there are other models of business where it is absolutely necessary to make an initial investment.

194

And I would feel very uncomfortable taking out a loan, borrowing money from the bank.

195

Because even if I'm confident, anything could happen.

196

You never know what could change.

197

And if you take out a loan and you're unable to pay it back,

198

then you could end up in serious trouble and your family could be in trouble.

199

If you have assets like a house, then it could possibly be taken away from you, depending on the law and the country you live in.

200

So I personally wouldn't feel at all comfortable taking out a loan in order to set up my own business.

201

That's my opinion.

202

We're all entitled to our own opinions.

203

Now from there, let's read a short dialogue.

204

But before I get on to that dialogue, family businesses.

205

How do you feel about family businesses?

206

Do you think it's a good idea to work with other members of the family or not?

207

I think more often than not, as long as you have a normal family,

208

then it's a good idea to do business with family members.

209

Because it can bring you together.

210

You can all be working towards a common goal.

211

And you know each other like the backs of your hands.

212

You know each other inside out.

213

So for that reason, you can already critically think and know if it's going to go well or not.

214

I mean, the business relationship.

215

So I do think that family businesses are a pretty good idea.

216

For me, you know, I record a lot of podcasts with my mom.

217

And I'd be delighted if my mom wanted to teach some classes for me.

218

I'd be over the moon.

219

I don't think she'd want to though.

220

You know, she's happily retired.

221

And tell me, do you know anyone who works in a family business?

222

Or maybe you actually work in a family business.

223

So tell us what you think about it.

224

Has it been successful for you or not?

225

Because I have a couple of friends who work in family businesses.

226

And generally speaking, they're quite successful.

227

So my reference point is that family businesses, they're awesome.

228

They're great.

229

Now, I'm going to have a glass of water before I start reading this dialogue.

230

You see, I forgot to make myself a cup of tea.

231

Silly me.

232

But it's always important to stay hydrated. So, ready?

233

Listen carefully.

234

This is a chat between Kate and Laura.

235

And after that, we're going to review some of the difficult words and phrases that appear in this dialogue.

236

Kate, how's your new job going?

237

Have you got used to it yet?

238

Laura, it's tough, to be honest.

239

There's a steep learning curve.

240

So, yeah, it's hard work.

241

Kate, well, don't give up.

242

Stay positive and keep your head down.

243

I'm sure this time next month, you'll be really enjoying it.

244

How about you?

245

What's new?

246

Laura, all things considered, I'm doing well.

247

Since setting up my own company, a lot of things are up in the air, but I have some exciting projects in the works.

248

Kate.

249

Ooh, go on.

250

Spill the beans.

251

What have you got up your sleeve?

252

Laura.

253

Well, now I'm the boss,

254

I call the shots, and I'm on the verge of signing a lucrative contract with a multinational

255

that will help us expand abroad.

256

Fingers crossed, it goes ahead.

257

Kate.

258

That's amazing.

259

Congratulations.

260

You must be so proud of yourself.

261

Laura.

262

I am.

263

I've been working around the clock, but it looks like all the hard work is paying off.

264

All the hard work is paying off.

265

Okay, now let's recap everything.

266

We have a total of how many?

267

12 keywords or phrases that were packed inside this quite short dialogue.

268

But some of them are relatively easy.

269

Starting with the first one.

270

The first phrase is one that a lot of people get mixed up.

271

And it is get used to.

272

When you start a new job, you need to get used to the environment.

273

You need to get used to collaborating with new people.

274

So get used to is a synonym of become accustomed to.

275

And if we use a verb, it's always with ing.

276

Get used to working in a team.

277

The second phrase is a steep learning curve.

278

So your learning curve is your ability to learn.

279

And if it's steep, it's very, very difficult.

280

Therefore, this is a difficult process of learning, more or less.

281

The third phrase is keep your head down.

282

Come on, keep your head down, keep studying, keep working.

283

So if you keep your head down, you work hard or study hard.

284

It means you're not being distracted by other people.

285

You're just keeping your head down.

286

The fourth phrase is all things considered.

287

I think she said that all things considered, it's going well.

288

So what is a synonym for all things considered?

289

Well, it means taking everything into account.

290

So it's a way of saying like overall, in general, all things considered.

291

The fifth phrase is in the air or up in the air, we could also say.

292

If something is in the air, it means it's uncertain.

293

It's undecided.

294

It hasn't been sorted out yet.

295

Then number six is in the works.

296

She said she has some great projects in the works.

297

If something is in the works, it is being prepared or it is being worked on.

298

The project is in the works.

299

The seventh phrase is spill the beans.

300

But we can also say spill the tea, especially if it's focusing on gossip.

301

So if somebody tells you to spill the beans, they're saying, like, come on, tell me about it. Where is it?

302

Tell the secret or information.

303

Come on, spill the beans.

304

Then we have, have up your sleeves.

305

If you have something up your sleeves, it means that you have a hidden plan or a backup plan.

306

You can always have an ace up your sleeve.

307

Then, I can't remember if it was Kate or Laura, but one of them said she is the boss now.

308

So she calls the shots.

309

That means that she's in charge.

310

She makes the decisions.

311

Then we have number 10, I think, which is on the verge of.

312

She was on the verge of signing a lucrative contract.

313

On the verge means you're at the point of doing something.

314

You're just, just, just about to do it.

315

You're on the verge of doing it.

316

Then the penultimate one is around the clock.

317

If you work around the clock, you work non-stop.

318

Think about taxi drivers, Uber drivers, or doctors who work night shifts.

319

They work around the clock.

320

And lastly, we have the phrasal verb, pay off.

321

If something pays off, the hard work pays off.

322

It means that it was worth it.

323

All of the hard work will surely pay off.

324

Good. So how was that?

325

Were you comfortable with these words?

326

Were they familiar to you?

327

What do you reckon?

328

Well, hopefully you were familiar with them and hopefully you remember them because,

329

of course, I stopped sharing for a second.

330

But now I'm going to start sharing again and we're going to go over all of these words.

331

So do you have a good memory?

332

Do you reckon you can guess all of these words just based on the synonyms?

333

Let's find out.

334

Let's put you to the test.

335

So the first one, at the point of happening, this is on the verge of.

336

Next, non-stop is around the clock.

337

After that, we have a difficult process of learning.

338

This is a steep learning curve.

339

Then we have become accustomed to,

340

which means get used to plus ing if it's followed by a verb.

341

work hard is keep your head down when I have to look at my PowerPoint I am literally keeping my head down

342

after that we have tell a secret tell me the information come on

343

spill the beans if something is uncertain or undecided It is in the air or up in the air.

344

If something is worth it, you know, all the hard work pays off.

345

If you have a hidden plan or something prepared, just in case you have something up your sleeve.

346

A boss makes the decisions, but you could also say they call the shots.

347

If something is being planned or worked on, it is in the works.

348

And last but not least, taking everything into account, you could also say all things considered.

349

All things considered, this is a very useful podcast, isn't it?

350

And if you think this is a useful podcast, thank you so much.

351

And don't forget to leave a thumbs up.

352

Thumbs up!

353

Now, I'm not going to use these phrases in conversation.

354

I think I've already reviewed them more than enough.

355

But now we're going to move on to some interesting questions slash debates.

356

Because I love having little debates in class and I love hearing people's opinions and sharing opinions.

357

That's something that we should all do.

358

Whether you agree or disagree, it's nice to hear the other person out and get their point of view.

359

So, for that reason, we're going to move on to some debates.

360

And they're all related to work or business.

361

The first one is, should people work a four-day week?

362

Should people work a four-day week?

363

well i remember perhaps during the pandemic

364

or just before the pandemic this was a hot topic it was a topic

365

that many people were discussing

366

and considering implementing in big companies like even the biggest companies in the world

367

and the idea was that you would work an extra two hours on Monday,

368

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in order to have Friday off.

369

So your initial nine to five would become a nine to seven or an eight to six.

370

But then on Friday, you're free.

371

Everybody would have a three-day weekend, which, I mean, it's pretty good, isn't it?

372

But I'm not the biggest fan of a four-day working week.

373

Yes, having a three-day weekend is fantastic.

374

It's amazing, obviously. But at what cost?

375

At what price?

376

because let's take the example of a nine to five.

377

If you're working from nine to seven,

378

you literally don't have any time to do anything really in the evening when you finish work.

379

And even less so if you have a long commute.

380

So if your drive to work and back from work takes you an hour,

381

you're spending the entire day working.

382

And some of these hours aren't paid for, I know.

383

But it just means that the majority of the week, Monday to Thursday, you can't really go to the gym,

384

you can't really meet up with too many friends.

385

You can't go out for dinner that much.

386

And you're just exhausted.

387

So, Thursday evening would be amazing.

388

You'd be so happy.

389

You'd be absolutely buzzing that the weekend is beginning.

390

But on Friday, you're probably going to be too tired to want to do anything

391

because your four-day week would have worn you out.

392

It would have absolutely knackered you.

393

And then Saturday, perfect.

394

You'd have a good day.

395

You'll have rested overnight.

396

But then on Sunday, you're already thinking ahead to the next day and

397

you're dreading it you're thinking oh no tomorrow's monday

398

and i've got to wake up at half seven

399

and i won't get home until eight o'clock i'll cook something watch a series

400

and head to bed so

401

that for me isn't quality of life i would actually rather work every single day but only work mornings, for example.

402

So that's what I think, but let me know.

403

Should people work a four-day week?

404

I'm not sure.

405

I'm not sure.

406

Now the next one, I am absolutely a huge supporter of this.

407

The debate is, is remote work better than working in the office?

408

For me, yes.

409

Absolutely.

410

I love working remotely.

411

And maybe at times it can get a little bit lonely.

412

At times I'm home alone with my own thoughts, busy doing a lot of work

413

because I don't have distractions in terms of colleagues who I can chat to and brainstorm with.

414

So yes, It can get a little bit lonely at times if you work fully remote like me,

415

but I still wouldn't change it for working 100% in the office.

416

No chance, no way.

417

But maybe a nice balance for me

418

would be working from home four days a week

419

and then having one day a week when I see real people and socialize a little bit more.

420

Perhaps that would be the right balance.

421

But I'm a bit of an introvert and at work I'm speaking to people all of the time.

422

So that prevents me from getting too lonely.

423

And the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

424

The freedom I have to cook, to clean, to go out for a run when I want,

425

to avoid spending a lot of money on transport and different food.

426

I just think remote work is the way forward.

427

And if more and more people work remotely,

428

then I think it cuts costs for the rest of society.

429

And it means that a lot of empty office buildings can be turned into flats.

430

Because in most of the world, at least in Europe, we have a bit of a housing crisis.

431

But there are plenty of office buildings that are practically empty all the time.

432

So why don't we use these buildings and this space to provide more affordable housing?

433

Vote Lewis.

434

The next debate.

435

Now we get to the elephant in the room.

436

The big thing that is affecting businesses and work in the 21st century and, of course, now in 2026.

437

So the bait is, artificial intelligence is going to be positive for businesses.

438

Well, is it?

439

What do you think?

440

I think AI has opened up so many possibilities and so many ways in which young people,

441

above all, can become their own bosses.

442

and they can try to do business with other people thanks to AI.

443

Because nowadays, if you have a really good idea,

444

you don't need to be an expert in a certain topic because AI is the expert in every topic.

445

So the key is to learn how to use AI and to use it effectively

446

to really squeeze all the juiciness out of this technology.

447

So I think AI is going to be positive for most businesses,

448

but I don't think it's going to be a positive for most employees.

449

I think that at least for a period of time, unemployment will rise, and we're already seeing this,

450

with people who've just graduated from university,

451

young graduates, the unemployment rate among recent graduates is really, really high.

452

And that's because a lot of entry-level jobs,

453

so the jobs that you would do in an organization without having a lot of experience, well, they're being taken over by robots, by AI.

454

And that is a worry because it means that young people today are struggling to get experience.

455

And if you can't get experience, then you're not going to be very hireable.

456

Recruiters are not going to want to offer you a job if you've only ever studied and not worked.

457

So for that reason, again, I think it's very important to think a little bit like an entrepreneur.

458

And if you are a young, recent university graduate, and you're struggling to get employment,

459

I think you should consider setting up a little project.

460

I don't mean depending 100% on yourself forever,

461

but staying busy, training yourself with active skills to try

462

and generate an income so that when you have an important job interview,

463

well, you can explain what you've been doing during this time of unemployment.

464

And you can prove the skills that you've learned during this period of time.

465

That's my advice to those young people.

466

I don't know if anybody in that situation is listening to me right now, but I think it is solid advice.

467

Now, this one is a little bit of a controversial debate.

468

Becoming your own boss is riskier than working for a company.

469

Huh?

470

I guess you've got to read it again.

471

So let me repeat.

472

Becoming your own boss is riskier than working for a company.

473

Most people will probably think immediately, no, Lewis, what are you on about?

474

What are you talking about?

475

Of course, having your own business is way riskier.

476

But I'm not that sure.

477

I'm not convinced that that is the case.

478

Because working for a company, you might be on a temporary contract and from one day to the next,

479

you might be sacked overnight.

480

And you're not really in control of this.

481

And I think that's the key element, that if you're working for a company, then you don't have as much control.

482

if the company doesn't do very well for a period of time, you will suffer the consequences.

483

And the amount of work and impact that you can make to be able to revert this situation is limited.

484

While on the other hand, if you are your own boss, it's much harder to get started.

485

It's much harder to get your first client.

486

And it's really hard to maintain clients as well.

487

And having a system to make all of this work is so complicated.

488

But you know that the work you do today should, in theory, pay off in the long run.

489

So it's always going to be a risk.

490

Life is a risk.

491

But it's a risk that you have a little bit more control over.

492

So do you see where I'm coming from?

493

Can you get my point?

494

Obviously I'm biased because I am my own boss and I like it.

495

But I think that being your own boss gives you more control and more power to make an impact,

496

make a change and prevent your job security and your income being risky.

497

All right.

498

And the final one, the final question, I kind of discussed it in the last podcast,

499

speaking about conditionals, about how I would invest if I won a hundred thousand euros.

500

I think in the last podcast, I spoke about 10 million euros.

501

So I'm not going to repeat myself and answer again.

502

And in this lesson plan, there were also some business English idioms that we haven't covered.

503

So if you want me to go over those expressions with you in class

504

and discuss all of these things whilst correcting you and improving your English, you can sign up to my classes and that'll do for today.

505

thank you so much for watching and listening and i'll see you in the next episode bye

“لأننا جميعًا نحتاج إلى العمل.” - هنا، يظهر المتحدث كيف يرتبط العمل بحياتنا اليومية، مما يزيد من أهمية ما يقوله.
“لذا، حتى لو لم تكن مهتمًا بعالم الأعمال، فلا تقلق.” - استخدامه للغة غير الرسمية والمريحة هنا يساعد في تخفيف أي قلق قد يشعر به المتعلمون، مما يشجعهم على الاستمرار في الاستماع.
