Mike and Sherif cover a lot more ground in this bonus episode. Sherif talks about his Fellowship in Mongolia and his hope to become a global nomad. Mike talks about why Sherif may be a better English teacher BECAUSE it isn’t his first language. They talk about the collective conscious as well again to wrap things up! Mike asks Sherif about how his cross-cultural background aids his efforts in teaching English abroad (1:40) and they get into the benefits of having learned the language as a second language has in teaching it. Mike stops himself from waxing on too long, and wants to know what Sherif will be doing after his Fellowship. Sherif’s inspiration comes from his time in the countryside Mongolia (5:50). In the process of discussing nomads, Sherif’s marital status comes in from left field (10:45). Mike has some ‘soapbox’ comments about that as well. He gets into what breakups look like around the world. :D Of course Mike brings his book back into the discussion (15:30), because he wants Sherif to talk more about individual and collective egos. He really expounds on the value of growing self-aware, especially through experiencing other cultures (21:00). Sherif’s comments about fear really resonate with Mike because its something he addresses in his book (25:00). Sherif brings it home matching it up with the current regional conflict with the Palestinians and Israel to wrap things up (27:30).
