Ep. 2: Nicole S. (ENL Teacher)

Ep. 4: Nick K. & Rob P. (Podcast Producers)

On this episode of the Making Friends Podcast, I talk to Nick K. and Rob P. about their experience producing a podcast. I thought this would make an interesting episode because we discuss some of the woes about producing and publishing a podcast. This was my first time having a third guest on the podcast and I was pretty nervous about how it would turn out!  I also talked to Nick about his business, which is how their podcast show came to be. Nick owns a marketing business and shares how he got started, who inspired him, and stories of his success.  You can check out all of Nick's business links here [https://linktr.ee/nick_kostulas]. -------- Check out all of the Making Friends Podcast Links Here [https://linktr.ee/themakingfriendspodcast]

Ep. 3: Connor R. (Flight Instructor)

Happy World's Pilot's Day!  In celebration, on this episode of The Making Friends Podcast, I am joined by Connor R., who has been a Flight Instructor for the past five years, and has been flying for ten. I had a lot of fun asking Connor questions about his experience as a Pilot, and teaching others how to fly. We talked about how he got to be where he is today, a scary landing experience with a student, flying with dogs as passengers, what he would like to do in the future, and more. Connor also let me know that he does not judge me for applauding when an airplane lands. I feel safe... I feel seen.  If you are on Long Island and are interested in learning how to fly, you can check out Nassau Flyers at: https://www.nassauflyers.com/ [https://www.nassauflyers.com/]. Connor highly encourages listers who would like to learn how to fly to do so! It is not out of reach as it may seem, and every airport around you should have some sort of teaching program to be able to obtain a certificate. ----------------------------------------- Check out the video portion of the podcast here: YOUTUBE.COM/THEMAKINGFRIENDSPODCAST [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_C6VfHSUQAYn91-JbbpLfw] Check out Episode Highlights and more here: INSTAGRAM.COM/THEMAKINGFRIENDSPODCAST [https://instagram.com/themakingfriendspodcast]

Ep. 2: Nicole S. (ENL Teacher)

On the second episode of the Making Friends Podcast, I have a conversation with Nicole S. about her experience as an ESL Teacher. She informs us that the term English as a Second Language (ESL) now being referred to as English as a New Languge (ENL), hence the podcast title, and shares her story of how she came to be that. I've always been curious about what it's like for teenagers who are learning English as a New Language and the struggles, as well as the successes, that they encounter --  Nicole provides us with great insight and more.  If you would like to connect with Nicole S., twitter is: @ENLSALGADO You can find me, Bryan B., on my podcast instagram account: @THEMAKINGFRIENDSPODCAST as well as on Youtube.com/THEMAKINGFRIENDSPODCAST
