Teacher Robert's Podcast

Global Company Cultural Day (with transcript)

Acha que todos os brasileiros se cumprimentam com abraços e beijos? Não é assim que funciona. No Brasil, a forma como você interage fisicamente ao dizer "Oi'" ou se despedir pode depender do gênero e até mesmo da sexualidade. De soquinhos a beijos e abraços, essas saudações não são tão universais quanto você imagina. A maneira como elas tendem a acontecer entre os homens heterossexuais brasileiros é o que pode fazer você repensar o que sabe sobre cumprimentar alguém na cultura brasileira. Assista para aprender algumas regras sociais sutis por trás das saudações brasileiras.

Hi and welcome back to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien.
Illustrations by Justin Todd. Read by me, Teacher Alyse.

📖 Chapter 14: The Marketplace

Before I begin reading, here’s a quick summary of the chapter:

Mrs. Frisby is shocked to learn that her late husband, Jonathan, was part of the rats’ secret past. Nicodemus explains that Jonathan had a good reason for keeping the truth from her, but he never had the chance to share it before he passed. As they talk, Nicodemus suggests moving to a quieter location so he can tell her the full story of the rats’ origins.
He leads Mrs. Frisby to his office, a comfortable and well-furnished space, where she notices a radio playing music. This sparks a memory of something Jonathan once mentioned, and she is fascinated by the sound. Nicodemus then begins to recount the history of the rats, starting at a marketplace near a big city where he and many other rats once lived.
The marketplace provided plenty of food, making life easy for the rats. Nicodemus and his friends, including his intelligent companion Jenner, often explored the area, gathering food and playing. One evening, while searching for food, Nicodemus and the other rats were suddenly caught in a trap. Bright lights flashed, and men in white uniforms appeared, capturing many of them with nets. Nicodemus himself was ensnared, signaling the beginning of a life-changing event for the captured rats.

Is Your Introduction Repelling Your Dream Job? Stop Begging and Start COMMANDING Attention!

Let’s be blunt: Your introduction is either a powerful weapon or a pathetic weakness. Are you sounding like a timid pushover, or a confident COMPETITION CRUSHER who’s about to steal the show?

Truth is, most job seekers are UTTERLY FORGETTABLE. They drone on with the same tired clichés, blending into the background like wallpaper.

What makes YOU different? What makes the hiring manager absolutely OBSESSED with having you on their team?

If you can’t answer that, you’re DEAD IN THE WATER.

This isn’t about “looking professional.” It’s about projecting POWER, AUTHORITY, and undeniable VALUE that leaves the competition in the dust.

In this recording, I’ll hand you the exact phrases you need to inject into your system NOW to transform your introduction into a high-impact sales pitch.

LISTEN UP: This isn’t for the faint of heart. This is about crafting an introduction that DEMANDS attention, builds instant rapport, and leaves the hiring manager begging you to accept the job.

Listen, drill these phrases, and build your own arsenal of words. Because in today’s cutthroat job market, you either DOMINATE or you DISAPPEAR.

Time to stop sounding like everyone else and start projecting the UNSTOPPABLE force you really are.

Are you ready to finally make the hiring person fall in love with you, or are you going to let another opportunity slip through your fingers? The choice is yours.

But let’s face it, you are here, because you want to win it all. No participation trophies, no second place…

Are you ready to have more people want to hire you?

Anatoly

(P.S. This recording is NOT for those who are satisfied with mediocrity. If you’re looking for fluff, go somewhere else. This is for serious action-takers who are ready to DOMINATE.)
