大家好，这集讲合同里的价款（jià kuǎn)与支付条款（zhī fù tiáo kuǎn)，这是商务合同的核心条款之一。
Hello everyone. This episode is about the price and payment terms in a contract, one of the core clauses of a commercial contract.
价款就是交易的总金额，要写清具体数字和结算货币（jié suàn huò bì)，比如 “人民币 5 万元”。
 Price refers to the total transaction amount, and you must state the specific figure and settlement currency clearly, such as "50,000 RMB".
支付条款要明确三点：支付方式(zhī fù fāng shì)，比如转账（zhuǎn zhàng）、现金（xiàn jīn）；支付时间，比如交货前付 30%；支付账户(zhī fù zhàng hù)，要写清收款方（shōu kuǎn fāng）的银行信息（yín háng xìn xī）。
The payment terms need to specify three key points: the payment method, like bank transfer or cash; the payment time, such as paying 30% before delivery; and the payment account, with the payee’s complete bank information clearly written. 
这个条款写得明明白白，才能避免付款时出现金额、时间的纠纷（jiū fēn），保障双方的资金权益。
 A clearly defined price and payment clause can avoid disputes over the amount and timing of payment, and protect the financial rights and interests of both parties.

Thailand-Cambodia Border Tension

Miten puhua helpolla suomella työkaverin kanssa, joka hakee tulostamansa paperin? Tässä podcastin jaksossa pohdin työpaikalla tapahtuvaa rupattelua. Rupatellaan siis yhdessä!

Tässä jaksossa mietin helpolla suomella mitä sanoa nopeasti työkaverille ja kertoa enemmän esimerkiksi vapaa-ajan menoistaan.

Alla linkki maksulliseen artikkeliin, jossa käsitellään rupattelua työpaikalla, sillä tuoreen tutkimuksen mukaan epämuodollinen rupattelu työkavereiden kanssa lisää työ­tyytyväisyyttä ja voi auttaa työskentelemään tehokkaammin.

After a long break, we’re back—and what better way to kick things off than with a true Edmonton radio legend?

In this episode, I sit down with Terry Evans—longtime morning show host on K-97 and the voice behind the Reluctantly... podcast—for a real conversation about confidence, mistakes, and staying true to yourself when the pressure’s on.

We talk about how Terry got started in radio, some of the wild things that happen live on-air, what it really means to be confident (especially when you're nervous), and how to handle those tough, awkward conversations at work. It’s honest, funny, and packed with wisdom you’ll want to hear—especially if you’ve ever held back from speaking up because you were afraid of making a mistake.

Whether you’re learning English, trying to be more confident, or just love a good story from behind the mic—this episode is for you.
