What do opera, AI, and awkward meetings have in common?
They all shaped how Sean Watson became one of today’s go-to coaches for professional English fluency and workplace communication.
In this first-ever interview-style episode, Dr. Howie Jacobson flips the script and interviews co-host Sean Watson about his journey from stage to screen — and how he helps professionals not just learn English, but speak it powerfully in high-stakes settings.
