Chemist: Hello, can I help?

Customer: Yes, my wife sent me here. I, erm, need something for a sore throat … and I can’t stop coughing. It really hurts.

Chemist: Do you have a headache too?

Customer: Not really, no.

Chemist: Well, we have this syrup. And these lozenges.

Customer: Which is better?

Chemist: They’re both good. The syrup is more expensive.

Customer: Oh, well … I’ll take the lozenges, then. How many do I take?

Chemist: Just one.

Customer: Sorry, I’m sorry. Er, how often should I take it?

Chemist: Just one every four to six hours. Take it before mealtimes. Are you allergic to any medicine?

Customer: No.

Chemist: Then you’ll be fine with this.

Customer: Can I get some antibiotics too?

Chemist: I’m afraid you need a prescription for that.

Customer: Ah.

Chemist: You know, you should really see a doctor if that cough continues.

Customer: Thanks. I know.

Chemist: Anything else?

Customer: No, thanks.

Chemist: That’ll be £7.49 then, please.

Man: So, did you see the final episode last night?

Woman: Of course! As if I would miss that!

Man: And?

Woman: It was by far the best episode, definitely.

Man: Yeah, totally. The dragon at the end and all the special effects in that final scene were amazing.

Woman: I loved that part! But I still don’t think this series was as good as the others.

Man: Really? But you said you wouldn’t want to miss it?

Woman: I know, but still … it’s a lot more predictable than it used to be.

Man: But that’s because the story has been told so well that all the characters are reaching their destiny now.

Woman: I don’t know … before, anyone could die at any time so it was exciting! But, this series, no key characters died and we all knew they wouldn’t. When Jaime fell in the water after the dragon attacked him, we knew he would make it somehow. And … oh, surprise, Bronn jumps in and saves him.

Man: They did kill some characters in this series, though. What was that one’s name …?

Woman: Exactly, see! You can’t even remember who died!

Man: Hmm. The only thing I didn’t like about this series was that it was shorter than the others. Seven episodes instead of ten. Maybe they spent all their money on that dragon!

Woman: Right! I don’t understand why they did it, as all the fans would happily watch ten episodes.

Man: I reckon that now they’re not using the story in the books any more, they don’t have as many ideas.

Woman: That would explain why they’re not being as brave with the story too. It’s more like a Hollywood film than a TV show now.

Man: So, is Tyrion still your favourite character?

Woman: You know … surprisingly, I think my favourite might be Cersei.

Man: What?!

Woman: She’s so interesting! All the awful things she’s done and the way she’s just aiming for revenge, even though it won’t make her happy. She still surprises us because we’re expecting her to have a happy ending where she sees her mistakes and becomes a good person. But she never does, no matter what it costs her. She’s unpredictable because we just can’t believe anyone would be like her.

Man: I guess. You don’t have to like a character for them to be your favorite!

Jani: Thanks for coming, everyone. So, we’re here today to define the timeline for our new project.

Emiko: Yes, Jani, that’s a great idea.

Carolina: OK. What do you need from us?

Emiko: Hold on a moment. I think we need to decide between us what to do, to make sure it works for all departments.

Jani: Yes, exactly, don’t worry. We’re going to discuss this and make a decision together. Let’s first think about the scheduling of each project phase. What do you think, Emiko?

David: Can I interrupt? I think we should first be clear about the process we’ll use to make the decision. How are we going to do it?

Jani: Ah, yes. Good point. Well, I think the best way is for each of you to give your opinion and then we can discuss and make a decision.

David: OK. That sounds good.

Emiko: Yes, that works for me too. I know we’re still planning the structure of the later phases of the project, but I think we should begin phase one as soon as possible. We can work out the rest later, as we go along.

David: I’m sorry, I don’t think so. How can we start phase one if we’re not fully clear on where the rest of the project will take us? We might make a wrong decision and waste time.

Jani: I agree with you on that point, David. However, we’ll waste too much time if we wait until everything is planned before we actually start working on the project. I think we should take an agile approach.

David: Agile approach?

Jani: Well, it means that we start quickly and then adapt as we go along.

Emiko: That’s right.

Jani: Carolina, you’ve been very quiet.

Carolina: Um … I’m sorry. I didn’t want to interrupt. I’m listening … and thinking.

David: Do you agree we should get the plan right first, and then start with phase one?

Carolina: I’m sorry, David. I don’t think I agree with you. It’s important to have a good plan. But plans can change, even the good ones – and business changes often. We need to be flexible, and we also need to move quickly.

Jani: OK. So should we take a vote?

Emiko: Well, you’re the project leader. Let’s go with your decision.

Carolina: Yes, I’ll follow your lead, Jani.

David: Well, I guess that’s decided then. We’ll follow your agile approach, Jani. Start quickly and keep planning the later stages of the project.

Jani: Yes, that’s right.

David: I still don’t think this is the right decision, but I’m happy to go with the majority. We should add some space into the schedule later for additional work this ‘flexibility’ will need.

Jani: Don’t worry, David, we will. OK, so it’s decided then. We’ll start phase one as soon as possible, and in the background we’ll continue planning the later phases and adapt them as we go along.

Selina: Patrick? Is that you?

Patrick: Selina! Hello!

Selina: Well, well. Patrick Eastwood. How have you been?

Patrick: Good. Great, actually. How are you? I haven’t seen you for … how long?

Selina: It’s been ages. At least fifteen years. Wow.

Patrick: Yeah. Wow.

Patrick and Selina: So, what are you doing here?

Selina: Sorry, you go first.

Patrick: OK. What are you doing here? I thought you’d moved to London.

Selina: I was in London for a couple of years. But it didn’t work out.

Patrick: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Are you … OK?

Selina: I’m fine! The dream job wasn’t really a dream, you know? Um … and London is great but it’s so expensive. I mean, just the rent on a flat is … uh … crazy expensive.

Patrick: I see.

Selina: So, I came back. I’ve been back now for almost five months. Living back home with Mum and Dad. Which is err … interesting. Um … but anyway, what about you?

Patrick: Me? Oh, nothing new. You know me – ‘Patrick the predictable’. I never left here.

Selina: Married and with two kids? Wow!

Patrick: Don’t look so surprised!

Presenter: Good morning, everyone. On today’s show, we’ve got Chris Svensson with us, the author of No more nine to five, the new best- selling book about work–life balance in the current working world. Good morning, Chris. Thanks for coming.

Chris: Thanks for having me, Anna.

Presenter: So, Chris, tell us about your book and how the concept of a work–life balance has been changing?

Chris: Well, in the more traditional workplaces, people’s working lives and their private lives are, or were, clearly divided. People often work from nine in the morning until five or six in the evening. People sometimes stay late in the office and work in the evenings. This is called working overtime.

Presenter: OK, and what else?

Chris: Well, in these environments it isn’t common for people to work at the weekend or while they’re on holiday. They can clearly separate their working lives and their private lives. And the evenings, weekends and holidays are free to focus on non-work areas of life, such as hobbies, interests, sports, spending time with the family and friends, and so on. It’s important and healthy not to spend all your time just working, right?

Presenter: Right! So what has changed? How are things different now?

Chris: Well, for a start, most people can now access their work emails from their mobile phones. So they are more likely to quickly reply to an important mail in the evening or at the weekend. The same goes for laptops. It’s easier to access your work in the evenings from home or even from your hotel when you’re on holiday.

Presenter: That doesn’t sound like much of a work–life balance. It sounds like all work.

Chris: Exactly, but this new mobility brings a lot of advantages with it. More people are now able to work flexibly, so if they need to leave the office early one afternoon to be with their family, they can catch up on work that evening from home or somewhere else.

Presenter: That sounds good. So, what you’re saying is that although traditional divisions between work and life are fading, many employees now have more freedom to do their work from different locations and at different times.

Chris: Yes, that’s it.

Transcript

Presenter: Welcome to today’s show. We’re very happy to have Anna Oliveira as our guest today. Anna is the creator and founder of HomeworX – spelled with an ‘x’ we should note – an app which helps teenagers with their homework. Thanks for coming in, Anna.

Anna: Thanks for having me.

Presenter: So, tell us about your app. How does it work?

Anna: Well, teenagers and their parents have numerous challenges when it comes to homework these days. In many families both parents work and don’t have much available time to help their kids with their homework. And even if they do have time to help, they may not be able to offer support with the content. What I mean is, they may not know, or at least remember, enough in any given subject to support.

Presenter: You mean they might not be able to remember complex maths or might have never studied certain subjects, such as biology or economics, themselves?

Anna: Exactly. So they might want to support their children with their homework, but have neither the time nor the knowledge to do so.

Presenter: I see. So the app helps solve this problem?

Anna: Yes, and more. The next issue is that tutors can be expensive, and there may be long waiting lists for specialist tutors in the town or region you live in. Our HomeworX app brings students and tutors together online. Students can search a database of pre -approved tutors and sign up for live online support. They don’t need to be in the same town or city.

Presenter: That sounds really great.

Anna: It is. And this approach also enables us to offer the tutoring services at lower prices because there’s no travelling time involved for the tutor to get to the student’s home. And tutors who live in remote areas are happy to get access to more students, and be able to work from home, even at lower rates.

Presenter: This all sounds great. So, how did you come up with the idea?

Anna: Well, as you might guess, I was one of those parents I described earlier. I really wanted to help my son with his homework, but I was either too busy with work or I didn’t actually know anything about the subjects he was having difficulty with. Also, we live in an area where there aren’t many tutors and the ones that are there are either very expensive or have long waiting lists.

Presenter: Yes. I can understand your predicament. Well, it sounds like a very useful app that is clearly meeting a need. And its popularity obviously speaks for itself.

Anna: Thank you.

Presenter: So, do you have plans for the future?

Anna: We’ve just secured some funding and hope to expand the range of services we offer using the app.

Presenter : We wish you the best of luck. Thanks again for coming in. That was Anna Oliveira, founder of the tutoring app HomeworX (with an ‘x’, don’t forget!), which is available for both Apple and Android devices. Join us again next week for another business interview. Have a great week, everyone.
