In this episode, I talk with Roman Mironov, a Russian porn detox coach based in Toronto, Canada. Roman discovered porn in 1996 when he was 14 and quickly became a porn addict. He felt alone and miserable. This nasty addiction even made his marriage fall apart in 2012. At 32, he committed to quitting porn forever. He's 40 now and hasn't consumed porn for 8 years. He feels in charge of his life. When Roman shared his story online, he discovered he was not alone. Many people resonated with his experience and they kept reaching out to him asking for guidance. He decided to help these people and in 2019 he became a full-time porn detox coach. In this episode, you'll hear him talk about: - his story (including how he learned English). - porn addiction. - how he helps people who're addicted to porn.

You can watch this episode on YouTube - https://youtu.be/GwggZEjTHIY *** Do you feel the way you use English is good but not as good as you’d like it to be? Does it feel like you’re not making as much progress as you used to?  The same happened to me.  When I got to a high level of English, everything slowed down and it felt like I was not advancing anymore.   I wish I’d known this little formula:  further progress = specific problem + focused practice   I hope this is helpful ✨   Check out the blog post - https://fabiocerpelloni.com/keep-improving/    And yes, the plural of the noun "medium" is "media" 😅
