  • Résumé

  • Welcome to the brand-new podcast, “Can I Have a Word?”


    The “Can I Have a Word?” podcast explores the complex intersection between language and self-identity. Through a nuanced exploration of the words we use, this podcast examines how words inform who we are and how we subsequently navigate through the world as a result. By understanding our individual relationship to language, we will gain more insight into the depths of the human experience and simultaneously create more opportunities to better understand one another.


    Hosted by cultural advisor and communications strategist Carl James, this podcast will help you unlock the deeper meaning that lies in the words we use every day. If you are open to exploring the power that language can have in our lives, then this podcast is for you!


    This podcast will provide the context and rationale for important questions like:

    *How do the words we use shape our personal and cultural identity?

    *How does language connect or disconnect us from our cultural roots or communities?

    *How do the words we use intersect with specific identity markers, including race, gender, and class?

    *How does language influence power dynamics in society?

    *What emotional and psychological impact does language have on identity?

    *How does a deeper exploration of language allow for a greater sense of freedom, control, and power?

    Success
    Jan 27 2025

    Many of us have a conceptual idea of how "success" can be defined - financial independence, wealth, starting a family, career achievements, even having millions of fans on social media. Any of these markers can be indicative of success but should the criterion for success change as we age, learn more, and yes, achieve more? How does our framework of success evolve as we get older and what other attributes should we think about beyond the traditional elements that we already know of and aspire to? On this episode, we chat with career attorney and community advocate Peter Koffler, as we try to create a more expansive definition of success that goes beyond our own self-interests.

    In this inaugural episode of “Can I Have a Word?”, we explore how this podcast came to be and why the intersection of language and identity should matter to all of us. We also get to learn a bit more about our host, Carl James, and examine why compliments aren’t always as complimentary as they might seem.
