Rich English – Season 1 Episode 2 with Peter Fodor Founder of App Agent

On Rich English today I'm joined by Peter Fodor, the Founder and CEO of App Agent a company that help producers of mobile applications and games to grow their user base and revenues.

In this show we discuss how Peter began learning English and how he continues to improve as well as talk about his business life, starting out with Flow Studio, producing their own mobile games to making the transition into a mobile marketing agency.

In the course of the conversation, you'll hear a few phrases and words I thought you may need explaining. Here they are:

User acquisition and acquiring clients - these are from the verb to acquire meaning - to get. Basically, user acquisition is how you go about finding new users for your application.

Getting into the flow is about becoming used to a particular situation and maybe getting your head in a particular space where you're feeling comfortable and concentrating.

Workflow is the sequence of events or stages that a project might pass through to go from its initial start to completion.

To have many hats really means that you have different roles you might have a role as the owner of a business but at the same time you also might take on a more menial task such as sending out invoices for example. So you could say I have an administrative role or an administrative hat as well as my owner hat.

A worker bee is a person who is doing the detailed work, so it might be somebody in administration or might be somebody in design but worker bees are the people who are carrying out the larger ideas conceived by the boss.

A pool of talent is the number of people who are available in any given sector of business who might be your target to take on as an employee.

Collaborative tools are platforms such as Slack, Trello, Asana or even your Google calendar which is open to other people to view. Basically, any kind of platform where you can work closely with other people in order to further your project.

CV curriculum vitae is a document outlining your education and work/training history and personal interests.

A red flag is a warning.

Opening the door to a whole world of English content

Certainly Rich English won't be for everyone, but if you're interested in hearing real conversations with people who are entrepreneurs, business owners, self-employed or career-minded then it might be for you. My hope is that by interviewing (mainly but not exclusively) non-native English speakers about how they got started in business and their English learning journey, you, the listener will gain insight, knowledge and confidence to carry out your own plans and ideas.  You will also hear me explain some of the industry-specific words and phrases allowing you to better understand the conversation and open the door for you to listen to other similar podcasts and read blogs, websites, books etc. in English.
