Arsenio’s Business English Podcast | Season 7: Episode 36 | E-commerce
When the pandemic struck last year, lots of things went online. Whoever had an online business experienced a boom out here in Thailand. Even the food-hailing services out here in Bangkok, Thailand experienced a massive BOOM. So, when this happened, it was a permanent shift.
In Thailand, however, the experience of shopping in some of the biggest and best malls is still an experience compared to the very ordinary and functional malls of America that just provide retail.
What’s the future of it? Let’s dive in!

Arsenio’s Business English Podcast | Season 7: Episode 34 | Giving Bad News
This could be a process, but it could also be beneficial from the end listener’s perspective. It depends how we translate the information and how we react to it, too.

Arsenio’s Business English Podcast | Overcoming Racism in The Workplace
WOW! Just like 2013, 2014, 2015 all over again! It’s unbelievably unfortunate that I work under the umbrella of people who completely degrade me, lie to me, and are totally unethical, but my values, principles and everything I represent will reign! In today’s podcast, you’re going to hear a bit of a past me, things I had to overcome, present situations, and now to navigate these types of storms in life.
Note: two weeks later, out of the 6 people who I thought were minimizing me and my potentiality, only one of them was. 5 of them fought for me, and in the end, I did get my class back, as well as an additional class and my first-ever corporate class with the company.
In the end, NOT EVERYONE has a myopic point of view, and for the first time since living in Thailand, Thai women stuck up for me and what was right. So I’m truly blessed to work alongside some amazing human beings. For the one that minimized me, I simply will never deal with them again and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.

When it comes to starting conversations, it’s really hit or miss. If you talk about football with a woman, more than likely they will be clueless.

If you find it hard to start conversations, you need to take notes in this podcast and start building up the conversation starters!
When People Get What They Want From You…
Boy, how often does this happen?

How can you protect yourself from other’s agendas? In today’s podcast, I’ll give you the three “stop” doings.
Arsenio’s Business English Podcast | Investment | Risk Management
When it comes to assessing risks, what do you do? Whether it’s everyday risks, such as buying something that you really need but you’re hesitant because of the job market. Or perhaps even risks in the stock market? Well, there are ways of getting around it, such as buying a share + an option to hedge against the risk. That way if the price falls, you can choose to keep your share or sell it using the option you had agreed at a higher price.
This is called mitigation, and whether you do trade stocks or you’re looking to invest in general, there’s always a way of offsetting and protecting yourself. In today’s podcast, I got you COVERED!

What I learned was diversification, whether it’s your job, multiple streams of income, and even assets….it’s unbelievably important.
