Today’s conversation is with Valerie Fridland.

Valerie is a sociolinguist, Professor of Linguistics at the University of Nevada, a researcher and an author.

Expect to learn how language has evolved over time, how quickly it is changing, why there is no single correct way to speak, how to communicate more clearly in the modern world, the power and use of words including like, literally, dude, um, eh and many more.

There’s a quote from the comedian George Carlin - “We think in language. The quality of our thoughts and ideas can only be as good as the quality of our language.”  Having a better understanding of our language and how we communicate is vital for our success, our social connection, and how we live our lives.

One of the biggest drivers behind starting the podcast was my love for great conversations. That’s why I’m starting a space on Patreon where listeners can come together and create a powerful community.

It’s a place where we can discuss episodes, guests, share insights, memes, goals, wins, experiences, and more.

But more importantly, you’ll connect with like minded people.

Other people like you who are all interested in the same things as you and want to help you pursue the best version of yourself.

Join the community to get access to discussion threads, exclusive insights for what's coming up on the podcast, and more.

Think of it like crowdsourcing your personal growth and joining me and a tribe of like minded go getters.
