Arsenio's ESL PodcastArsenio's Business English Podcast | Season 7: Episode 30 | Work-life Balance is NOT About HoursSo, the common myth about work-life balance in under-performers is about time. So many people who allow activities to manage them believe that it's impossible to achieve a balance. However, the goal is not about hours, but it's about the quality. It's about self-awareness and assessing yourself on a weekly basis in the different categories of your life. In today's podcast, we're going to dive into time, the mismanagement of time management, and coming up with solutions.

Arsenio's ESL PodcastArsenio's Business English Podcast | Season 7: Episode 29 | A Job InterviewSo, from an interviewee's perspective, you will know if the employer is interested or not. If an employer says, "so tell me a little bit about yourself," your goal is to show out (meaning impress them). At the same time, make sure everything you tell them about you is relatable to what they're looking for. Now, there are times that interviewers are condescending, and even if they do offer you the job, be very careful in choosing it because no one wants to work for someone who minimizes what they&apos...2021-08-2633 min

Arsenio's ESL PodcastArsenio's Business English Podcast | Season 7: Episode 25 | Cut-price TravelHow is it possible to have two passengers sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in the same plane but can pay such different prices for tickets? Yes, this is called cut-price travel. To be honest, most low-cost airlines don't make much money. For instance, if you have 150 seats on a plan, 39 of those seats would cover airport costs, another 30 would go to fuel costs, and another 30 would go to paying pilots and crew. So, how much room for profit do they have? This is why low-cost airlines collapsed throughout the world last year because they have no shot of affording costs...2021-08-1814 minArsenio's ESL PodcastArsenio's Business English Podcast | Season 7: Episode 24 | Air TravelWhat's the best low-cost airline you've flown with?

The Arsenio Buck PerspectiveTopic: Complete The Past Part IISend us a textAfter going back and completing the past, my conscious was now free. Those three individuals that were not only on my mind but also in the subconscious (dreams), they were no more. This was the most free-ing exercise. One of the individuals had responded with her explanation, but it didn't even matter because it was ME who needed the closure, and perhaps that had given her some closure, too. The other two? One never responded...and that's totally fine because I did it without expectation. The other one was actually resolved a couple of...2020-05-2406 min
The Arsenio Buck PerspectiveTopic: Don't Let People Minimize YouSend us a textIn today's podcast, I discuss why you should ignore the ignorance of even some of the highest "influencers" in the world. "Are you still doing that little podcast?" Those are the things I've heard from people throughout my two years...and that little podcast is now the #1 ESL language podcast in the world. If I had listened to them to begin with, I wouldn't be enjoying the riches right now.

The Arsenio Buck PerspectiveTopic: Starting My Podcast / Fad Markets and People with MoneySend us a textIn this episode, I talk about how people get into FAD or PWM (people without money) markets.For example, Bitcoin was a FAD market. In 2018, the hysteria was insane. You had people making podcasts, videos, etc....and they all fell for it. Sure, Bitcoin still exists today, but the hysteria has gone away and the voices are now silent. I read a post on FB yesterday that someone I knew once tried creating a business for new grads. Well, if you just graduated from university, more than likely you're in...2020-05-2220 min
The Arsenio Buck PerspectiveTopic: Spotify Takes A Heavy-hitter; YouTube is in TroubleSend us a textA podcaster/pseudo-comedian (shots fired) by the name of Joe Roegan signed a $100 million-dollar contract with Spotify a few days ago. What does this mean? Spotify literally just stole not only one of the top YouTubers away but also destroyed Google and Apple podcasts. He will have to take all of his content off YouTube (except micro-snippets he can put on to promote) and move it to Spotify. Did Spotify lose 100 million? No, their market share skyrocketed and they profited 5 billion! What does this mean for YouTube, a company that has been de-platforming individuals...2020-05-2115 min
The Arsenio Buck PerspectiveTopic: Completing The PastSend us a textYes, this is one of those podcasts that you need to really listen to because I've had a number of faces creep into my dreams. Now, it's very difficult to even recall dreams after you wake up in the morning, but there were about 2-3 people who kept coming into my dreams and I was just confused as to why. So, I asked myself the question: "did I complete these relationships?" The answer was "no." So what I did was I took to Instagram, and this allowed me to finally write the...2020-05-2013 min
The Arsenio Buck PerspectiveRich Dad Poor Dad | S5 - E48 | Lesson VIII | 10 Steps to Develop Your Powers #5 Pay Yourself FirstSend us a textIf you cannot get control of yourself, do not try to get rich. It makes no sense to invest, make money, and blow it. It is the lack of self-discipline that causes most lottery winners to go broke soon after winning millions. It is the lack of self-discipline that causes people who get a raise to immediately go out and buy a new car or take a cruise. - Robert KiyosakiSuperhero Course with Mira: https://www.udemy.com/share/102VSm/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0x39CEN5tHvfRtfZaAMTgQ2020-05-1924 min
The Arsenio Buck PerspectiveRich Dad Poor Dad | S5 - E47 | Lesson VIII | 10 Steps to Develop Your Powers (3-4)Send us a textNow, I will admit that there are people I have actually sought out because they had money. But I was not after their money; I was seeking their knowledge. In some cases, these people who had money have become dear friends. I’ve noticed that my friends with money talk about money. They don’t do it to brag. They’re interested in the subject. So I learn from them, and they learn from me. My friends who are in dire financial straits do not like talking about money, business, or investing. They often think...2020-05-1820 min
The Arsenio Buck PerspectiveHow to Do a Friendship DetoxSend us a textWe got the ultimate DETOX A FRIEND and FRIENDSHIP guide here. This was inspired by my main man Trent Shelton -- a podcast that pumps golden gems in the world of social. So, I got about 4 rules that I'll be covering, along with some honorable quotes and stories. One thing I will point out, in brief, is that you can't force anything. Sometimes I would try forcing friendships with company workers but I never would receive anything in return. I would always "care" more than others and try to initiate conversations with...2020-05-1135 min
The Arsenio Buck PerspectiveTopic: Helping a Suicidal StudentSend us a textI wrote this on my 101 goals list about 5 years ago: "help someone NOT commit suicide and get them out of a dark place." I don't know why it felt good at the time, but the opportunity had presented itself. Years ago I met a student who was on fire. She was insecure at the age of 15, but with her level of speaking capabilities, I told her she couldn't stay here in Thailand because ALL universities don't know what to do with her level passion. She ended up moving to Singapore to go...2020-05-1023 min
The Arsenio Buck PerspectiveTopic: Drop These Types of Business PartnersSend us a textSome people could be ignorant at times. My intuition nudged at me a few months ago about a guy who made a ridiculous comment through a text message. So, I blocked him, but after going to a business where we have mutual business partners, he was there. I decided to unblock him and give him a chance -- but after I caught him in a couple of lies and he tried throwing me under the bus by throwing a long-term business partnership in flames....I backed off. Then there was...2020-05-0810 min

The Arsenio Buck PerspectiveTopic: Making The Biggest Decision of My LifeSend us a textI've had some people ask me about a potential move to Vietnam; and after already doing feasibility studies on starting a business, as well as owning property, it's highly likely that my departure will be next year.Some people may take this as a shock, but in Thailand, I've conquered it. I've conquered the women (in terms of hushing the racism coming out of them), and I've also built up the reputation in a lot of different sectors from banking, tech, manufacturing, etc. However, it's the same story, the same money, and...2019-09-1419 min
