About

Do you ever feel like you're capable of more, but something is holding you back?

Many English learners struggle with confidence. They know more English than they think they do, but fear, self-doubt, overthinking, and the fear of making mistakes stop them from speaking naturally and expressing themselves fully.

In this inspiring episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, Curtis sits down with educator, TEDx speaker, author, professional speaker, engineer, and corporate executive John Kundly to discuss confidence, communication, personal growth, purpose, and how to move forward even when you don't feel ready.

John shares his remarkable journey from a small town in Ohio to becoming a successful corporate executive, TEDx speaker, and authorβ€”including a period when he was homeless and living in his car after moving to Los Angeles.

Together, Curtis and John explore why confidence isn't something you wait forβ€”it's something you build through action.

If you've ever struggled with speaking English confidently, experienced imposter syndrome, felt stuck in your career, or wondered how to create better opportunities for yourself, this conversation is packed with practical insights and inspiration.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

βœ… Why action comes before confidence

βœ… How English learners can overcome fear when speaking

βœ… Why confidence and fluency are not the same thing

βœ… The "Evidence & Exposure" formula for building confidence

βœ… How to overcome self-doubt and imposter syndrome

βœ… Why successful people still struggle with confidence

βœ… How setbacks and detours can become life-changing opportunities

βœ… The difference between goals and purpose

βœ… Communication skills that separate average professionals from exceptional professionals

βœ… Why comparison destroys confidence and what to focus on instead

βœ… Practical advice for English learners who want to create better opportunities in life and work
