It was a pleasure to welcome back Alex Troll, founder of PodUnion, a platform to listen to and host podcasts. We started off this interview talking about how to market yourself by simply providing value and letting that speak for itself. We then transitioned to transformative innovations that will change the world of the future. Alex predicts that the instant ability to translate between languages will open up a huge new space for ideas to spread and cross over barriers previously blocked by the inability to understand one another.This got us onto language formation and how much we actually use symbols and text nowadays. Despite that, there are still tremendous differences between languages (English, Spanish, German, Pidgin, etc.,) and these also result in significant cultural differences (the assertiveness of Germans for example). We end the interview by speaking about committing to something 100% and how to find fulfilment by following your interests and finding satisfaction. Alex is an awesome guy and we love everything he is doing over at PodUnion. If you like listening to podcasts download his app from the app store and give it a try.
