Real English Conversations Podcast – Real English for Global Professionals | Speak Clearly & Confidently at Work

In this week's episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, the show that helps global professionals speak clearly and confidently at work, host Curtis Davies sits down with Robert Siciliano, one of the world's leading Cybersecurity Awareness experts and a trusted voice on how AI is reshaping communication, trust, and leadership.
Robert is a "good guy" hacker, international speaker, and the creator of The Strategic Human Firewall™. As CEO of ProtectNowLLC.com, he trains organizations to treat personal and digital security like preventative medicine, not damage control. His work has been featured on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, The Today Show, and in Entrepreneur Magazine, where he's known for breaking down complex cyber threats into clear, practical actions anyone can understand.
In this powerful conversation, Robert explains why the biggest communication risk today isn't language — it's Digital Deception.
As AI-powered deepfakes, voice cloning, and social engineering attacks become more sophisticated, global professionals are being targeted not because of weak technology — but because of human psychology. Our natural instinct to trust familiar voices, emails, and authority signals is now being exploited at scale.
This episode is essential listening for professionals who work across borders, manage teams, handle sensitive information, or want to communicate with confidence, authority, and security in a digital-first world.
✨ In this episode, you'll learn:
🧠 Why Digital Deception is now a bigger risk than language barriers 🤖 How AI-driven deepfakes and voice cloning exploit our natural instinct to trust 🎯 What Robert calls "The Human Blindspot™" — and why smart leaders fall for scams 💬 The communication mistakes that make professionals vulnerable to social engineering 🛡️ How to communicate authority while verifying identity without damaging rapport 🌍 Why cybersecurity is now a leadership skill, not just an IT responsibility 💊 How to treat digital security like preventative medicine with simple daily habits 🚨 The newest AI-powered threats global professionals should be aware of right now 🔑 The most important mindset shift professionals must make to protect themselves and their teams
This episode is eye-opening, practical, and highly relevant — especially for professionals who rely on English to lead, negotiate, and make decisions in high-stakes digital environments.

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.
