Hi, Matt here. I wanted to remind you that for each episode we provide English language learning support, where we share useful information to help you develop your English skills. Check out these English language learning and other resources, along with our newsletter and deep dive videos at faster smarter dot io under resources. Now a word from our sponsors. Their support covers the cost of production, allowing us to bring you this episode free of charge. Strawberry.me makes coaching accessible, affordable, and global, connecting you with a coach who's the right fit for you. I've had the privilege of working with some truly great coaches, and I've also spent many years coaching others.

And I can tell you first hand. Coaching makes a real difference. The challenge is that coaching has often felt out of reach for a lot of people. It can be expensive, difficult to access, or something people assume is only for senior executives. That's why I really appreciate what Strawberry.me is doing. Growth shouldn't depend on whether you happen to have access to the right mentor or organization.

Everyone deserves support in becoming more effective. More thoughtful. and more confident in how they show up. Visit strawberry.me slash smart. And take fifty percent off your first session. Make sure you let them know Matt sent you.
