Real English Conversations Podcast - English Conversation Lessons to Speak English with Confidence !

In this week's episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, the show that helps global professionals to speak clearly and confidently at work, host Curtis Davies speaks with Craig Sotkovsky, a 9/11 World Trade Center lung cancer survivor, entrepreneur, international speaker, and resilience advocate. Craig's story is extraordinary. After being exposed to toxic dust near Ground Zero during the attacks on September 11, 2001, he was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer nearly twenty years later, a moment that changed everything. Instead of breaking him, that diagnosis awakened a powerful mission. Today, Craig helps people find strength through adversity, advocate for their health, and build meaningful lives even in the aftermath of trauma. His work has been featured in TIME Magazine, FOX 5 New York, Bold Journey, Voyage ATL, and other major media outlets. He is a voice of resilience, courage, and purpose — and this conversation will leave you inspired to look at your life in a whole new way. ✨ In this episode, you'll learn: 💥 The moment Craig received his cancer diagnosis — and the mindset shift that saved his life 🌫️ The long-term health impact of 9/11 and what Craig wishes more people understood 🧠 How mindset became one of his strongest survival tools 💼 How entrepreneurship gave him purpose and strength during his recovery ❤️ A powerful story of someone he helped that changed him forever 💪 The top 3 skills every person needs to build resilience 🔥 Craig's best advice for anyone facing fear, uncertainty, or a difficult life transition This episode is emotional, practical, and empowering — a reminder that resilience is built through the battles we never expected to face. 📌 Connect with Craig Sotkovsky 🌐 Website: https://www.craigsotkovsky.com/ https://www.craigsotkovsky.com/about Get Craig's Book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.mx/Everybody-Pays-Vig-Entrepreneurial-Journey/dp/1732232415 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-sotkovsky-001/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/myyucatan   🎙️ Connect with Teacher Curtis & Real English Conversations 💬 Want to improve your English for professional success?
