Imagine a world where a creative work produced by AI has more value than the work of a hand-painted picture from a world-renowned artist. Imagine a world where the song that you spent the last 3 years to write doesn't become popular until some kid remixes your song on Youtube. Imagine that your cultural dance that has meaning and true significance is now just a trendy thing to do for "likes" on Tiktok. Can you imagine such a world?
Welcome to 2023!
In today's pour, we look at the negative impact that social media and AI technology are having on originality. Enjoy!

How many people do you think would willingly flip a switch to alter their reality if it meant that they would be able to avoid having to deal with life on life's terms? How many people do you think would undergo a surgical procedure to permanently block out all of the pain and suffering that they have experienced over the years?
In today's pour, we explore this idea which was inspired by a recent watching of the infamous "Black Mirror" series on Netflix!

As the time on the clock ticks, each day we either move towards or farther away from our goals. The reasons for these movements or lack thereof is largely in part due to the choices we make on a day to day basis. In a given day, a person can make over 10,000 decisions, depending on the complexity of their lives, but even with all of those decisions, only a few of them will make any true difference.
And it is within these pivotal moments of our decision-making process where our future self lies...
In today's pour, we will talk about this "future self" and explore how we can become that which we seek! Enjoy!

From the moment we wake up, until the time we go to bed, we have a tape that plays in our head. This tape...this voice is what colors the way in which we experience the world. If the message on the tape that we listen to is full of negativity and hopelessness than our interactions with others and joy in life will be muted, but if the inner voice that we hear is positive and full of invigorating energy...the sky is the limit!
In today's pour, we're going to explore this topic, as the April Showers prepare to bring in the May Flowers! Enjoy \m/

As someone that studies a foreign language, I'm sure that you are already aware of the level of change that will need to take place, before you finally achieve all of your language goals. I can imagine that you are also aware of the degree and frequency in which these changes will need to occur in your behavior, studying methods and implementation of your newly-developed skills.

If you snatch a mirror from the wall and smash it on the ground...what are you left with? Some may say that you are left with a mess to clean up, but others might say that it's still a mirror that was smashed into a thousand pieces.
Well, if we take the perspective of the latter and believe that each one of those shards or fragments could just be a component of a greater construction...could we say the same thing about people?
In today's pour, we are going to ponder this concept and try to answer this question!

When you were a child, you may have experienced many periods of what some would call "Hard Times". It's only when we become older and start living on our own that we can truly look back and appreciate some of those challenges that we faced early in life.
In today's podcast, I share a few childhood memories that I feel have truly shaped my outlook on the world. I am thankful for these moments and I encourage you to look back into your own life and find the gems that you may have overlooked, due to the fact that you were too young to fully understand the lesson at that time.

Have you ever wondered about the reasons that "Terror" excites so many people, especially around Halloween? Why do they go looking for a heart-stopping scare? What do they gain and why do they keep coming back for more? Well, today we are going to walk through that door! Grab your cup and Let's G.O\m/
Did that title grab your attention? Good😅 Today, we will be keeping with the Halloween spirit and reading yet another chilling story, but this one is definitely more grim and graphic compared to the last one. It is a little gem that I found on Reedsy Prompts that gives upcoming authors a chance to showcase their skills. This reading will be from Mr. Lonnie Russo's bag, "Someone Has Died". Grab a decent cup...it's a solid one \m/ Let's Go!
If you've spent enough time listening to quality native speakers, you may have noticed a huge difference in "How they read" versus "How you read". One of the biggest differences is that they read with "Edge". It's not enough to just pronounce words, you have to establish a true connection between what you read and what you convey while reading the text. In today's pour, I'm going to demonstrate 4 different levels of reading that can be observed in a language seeker's journey. If you find that one of the examples is similar to how you read, this is fine because it's not a race to the top. You will get there one day and maybe some of you are already there and just don't know it:) So...Grab Your Cup And Let's G.O!
In today's pour, I talk about the bridge that separates a lot of would-be English speakers from those that have achieved their desired level of fluency. This bridge that I speak of is intimidating for a lot of people and continues to be the one of the major reasons that they spend more time than necessary drowning themselves in piles of grammar books and still can't speak English. If you want to get to the other side, you are going to have to embrace these words and implement this concept immediately. Or...You can always go buy another grammar book and dream about using English freely when you're 80 years old! You decide. Now...If you're still with me and are ready to cross the threshold...Let's Go\m/
There are moments in life when the demands of work, life and even our own ambitions seem to rise up against us in a formidable rebellion known as chaos.
When chaos strikes, you may find that your mind is heavy with grief, foggy with fear and you may even feel that you just can't take one more step.
This is the time when you must tap into your reservoir of sanity and find your calm in the chaos.
In today's pour, we find our calm place...because it is here where we find the resilience and tenacity to continue on...

Today, we talk about a wonderful book that I recently finished titled, "The Fountainhead". This book was written by Ayn Rand, a rather interesting woman that is well-known in some circles and in others...not so much. I decided to share this wonderful treasure with you all, due to the manner in which the book is easy to follow and a contains several characters that literally JUMP right off the page.
In the review, I do not spoil the story, but share my thoughts on some of the story's most prominent characters, as well as, discuss how these people will appear to you in real life.
I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed talking about this book almost as much as I did reading it! So grab your coffee and let's dig into "The Fountainhead" =)

You may have noticed by now that asking the wrong question is not the right way to make a good impression on someone that has spilled their heart out to you. Knowing what questions to ask and when to ask them is key in building healthy rapport because it shows the listener that they had our "full attention".
In today's pour, we will engage in an exercise of sorts to strengthen our ability to construct questions from any topic based on what we hear. I have recorded myself asking a variety of questions on several topics to provide you with the chance to "soak-in" how questions can be formed from a multitude of ways.
There will be work to do and those that complete the work will not only strengthen their existing knowledge of English, but be able to use it more effectively in a social situation.
Also, stay tuned for the small bonus at the end! Enjoy =)

Now...grab your coffee and Let's GO!
The reason most people decide to start learning a language is because it initially excites them....And then...somewhere along the path of learning grammar rules and reading boring texts they lose their motivation:( It's a tragedy, but it happens. So, how can one keep their motivation at an optimal level primed for success?

Anyone that has been studying a foreign language for sometime will tell you that there are a few signs that will let you know when you are on the right path. This same thing occurs when taking on most endeavors that require a large chunk of your time and mental bandwidth. In today's podcast, I share 3 things to look for when trying to gauge where you stand in the realm of becoming conversationally fluent in English. Let's Go!
In today's pour, we take a look at the speed at which people travel through life. We inquire about the reasons that they rush to wherever they are headed, as well as, explore the reasons why some people prefer to take their time. Which side of the fence do you sit on? Do you speed everywhere you go or do you pace yourself? Let's Get Into It! Enjoy \m/ Transcriptions are available on the website www.englishandcoffee.org

"The Red Pill" is not an easy pill to swallow, but it is necessary if you are going to become the success that you truly want to be. Enjoy \m/ Transcriptions are available for the podcast
In today's pour, we talk about dreams and the strong influence they can have on our lives. Also, I share a big announcement about a new addition to the site:) Enjoy \m/
In today's pour, we read a excerpt from a best-selling author and then answer a few questions based on the reading. So, put on your thinking caps and let's begin...Enjoy :)
In today's pour, I'm going to walk you through a language building exercise that will do wonders for your conversational speech. The best thing about it is the fact that you can spend as little as five minutes a day or however long you want! While listening, you will hear me working through the exercise to show you how it should sound:) Enjoy \m/
If you're someone that feels that they have hit a plateau in their English journey, you'll want to listen to this one. As we all know, learning a new language is about more than just memorizing a few words and watching a movie or two. To become proficient in a language, one must dig a little deeper to go further in their journey. In today's pour, we are going to talk about that very thing and learn the importance of trusting the process. :) Enjoy \m/
Sometimes it seems like people are waiting around for that "perfect moment" to do or start something. "I'll learn English when I have the time to do it". "I'll travel to Brazil when the kids graduate from college". You've heard them before...they are those love to sit on the sidelines and wait for "The Ideal Time To Do Anything"... while the rest of us..Live in "The Real". In today's podcast, we are going to talk about "The Ideal Versus The Real" Let's Go! \m/
In English, we have an expression that says, "Ignorance Is Bliss". Now, for a lot of people this may ring true, but I bet to differ. In today's pour, we are going to peer deep into "ignorance" and try to make sense of it all. If you know anything about today's topic, then you already know that this will not be your typical brew :D Enjoy \m/
In today's pour, we talk about the evolution of man and how current technology is shaping our future. This is a good one for those with a high level of English, as it will be chockful of idiomatic expressions and loose grammar structure that will take us beyond the stars. One more thing about this specific podcast..It's a Big Boy:D You will need to grab your biggest coffee mug and tastiest treat to truly savour the full experience:) Enjoy \m/
Distractions are those little things that have a way of jumping in the middle of your best-laid plans and seemingly putting your desires on hold. These little setbacks can come in the form of a simple phone call or even a full scale argument with your spouse... So what does one do when a distraction is trying to uproot your plans? Well...You can go with the flow:) In today's pour, I serve up a rather interesting concoction of distractions and show how going against the grain isn't always the best course of action. Enjoy \m/

Ideas come and ideas go, but sometimes the changes are permanent. It is for this reason that one must understand how his or her ideas can and will influence others.

In today's pour, we are going to take a few simple ideas and how they can and have shaped our lives Enjoy:) It's time to put your English to work :D
In life, there are things we can change and there are also those things that will not change no matter what we do.

When you first start learning English, most people cover the surface level Q&A. You know questions like: Where are you from? Or What are your hobbies? Well, after that...then what?

So, it looks like it's that time of year again. You know that time when people put on a dollar store mask and sip the witch's brew?

Small Talk is one of those things that tends to trip people up in any language, but it's also the essential glue that connects you from one conversation to the next.
