Pathways is integral to every Toastmaster's journey and is also a key part of TGIF and Born to Shine's Story.

Did they accidentally but enthusiastically call this the third episode when it is the fourth? Sure, but they learned a lot along the way. This is one of two Chinese episodes planned for this series.
Below is a summary of the episode in Chinese.
夏包羅 （Paul Sharpe）和康傑（Joe
Calpin）榮幸邀請到兩位資深的講者來談台灣的中文比賽，兩位來賓不僅分享他們的比賽經驗，也讓我們更進一步學習如何在舞台上發光。這一集也考驗主持人的中文能力！
