1
Next, an inspirational story about a Kitchener man who, at 52 years old, is making a major career change.
2
After 20 years as a warehouse worker and forklift driver, Mike Nickison is now the CEO of a tech startup.
3
As CTV's Krista Sharp Kilpatrick tells us, it may never be too late to find your passion, especially if you have an AI ally.
4
Six months ago, Mike Nickison was having a really hard time.
5
This has been my fuel for the last six months.
6
Dealing with family issues, he was also sick and on leave from his 20 -year career as a forklift driver.
7
I'm lucky to survive a lot of those things, just personal dark things. But then...
8
I somehow discovered that I could code with AI.
9
Now he's the owner of a tech startup.
10
I got accepted to Google for startups, I got accepted to Amazon, and I got accepted to Cloudflare.
11
I've accumulated about $70 ,000 US to help me with infrastructure and the backing.
12
Even though he doesn't really know anything about tech or coding.
13
He uses a technique called vibe coding, which is essentially when artificial intelligence builds software for you.
14
It allows folks who are not software engineers or programmers, it enables them to have their vision come to life.
15
And you can speak to it in generally pretty plain language.
16
I started out on $20 chat plans, Cloud Code, Codex, ChatGPT, all of them.
17
And then I realized I was getting better at it and needed the bigger plans, so I jumped up to the $200 a month plans.
18
I've been doing all this with the basic plans.
19
The platform he and AI built is called KW Live.
20
I listened to the police scanner back in the days before it was encrypted and I listened to the fire scanner.
21
I thought it would be cool to put that fire scanner and pin it on the map.
22
So he asked AI to do it for him.
23
KW Live collects open data from all over the internet like emergency services, transit, traffic cameras, airplanes and satellites and puts it all in one place,
24
helping users visually navigate what's happening around them.
25
What's happening near me?
26
Within roughly 1 .5 kilometers of this place, three GRT service alerts, four GO Transit alerts.
27
I built this originally for the people, and then I started to realize I was getting commercial attention.
28
So it's kind of turned into a way bigger platform than I thought.
29
He started on an old laptop, but thanks to friends and grants, he has been able to upgrade.
30
KW Live is not publicly available just yet, but should be soon, thanks to the help of Communitech and the Accelerator Center,
31
region of Waterloo tech incubators that help launch local startups.
32
Forklift driver to tech company owner is a pretty big jump.
33
That's probably more unique than we would usually see.
34
What started as a distraction.
35
My life has changed a thousand percent.
36
Has turned into a passion for the 52 -year -old.
37
Coding saves lives and it saved minds.
38
His ultimate goal is to take KW Live worldwide.
39

Uitspraak om op te letten

  • De klanken “sh” en “zh”: passion /ˈpæʃən/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/, artificial /ˌɑː.tɪˈfɪʃ.əl/, distraction /dɪsˈtɹæk.ʃən/, inspirational /ˌɪnspəˈɹeɪʃənəl/
  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: infrastructure /ˈɪnfɹəˌstɹʌkt͡ʃə/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/, artificial /ˌɑː.tɪˈfɪʃ.əl/, inspirational /ˌɪnspəˈɹeɪʃənəl/, visually /ˈvɪzju.əli/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: upgrade /əpˈɡɹeɪd/, vibe /vaɪb/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: scanner /ˈskænə/, passion /ˈpæʃən/, transit /ˈtɹæn.zɪt/, satellite /ˈsætəlaɪ̯t/, laptop /ˈlæp.tɑp/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: upgrade /əpˈɡɹeɪd/, navigate /ˈnæv.ɪ.ɡeɪt/, programmer /ˈpɹoʊɡɹæmɚ/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Begin op 0,75× snelheid, spreek zin voor zin na en ga terug naar normale snelheid zodra het makkelijk gaat.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als startup, scanner, passion.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
