1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,640 Welcome to Students Incorporated, a podcast exploring the topics of business, education, 2 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,200 technology and design. 3 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,640 I'm your host, Mr. Jason. 4 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:24,000 Join me weekly as my team and I produce content that's informative, positive, fun and uplifting. 5 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,460 Episodes include student conversations, interviews with thought leaders and inspirational stories 6 00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:30,080 with an international flavor. 7 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,040 This podcast is created and produced with the help of students from the International 8 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:46,880 Community School of Bangkok. 9 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,120 We are back for a new season with a new podcast crew. 10 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,840 I'm joined by my new co-hosts Rebecca and Premi and the rest of the team. 11 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,760 Welcome to season two of Students Incorporated. 12 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,240 In today's episode, you'll meet our season two team and get to learn a little something 13 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,920 about each of them. 14 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,240 But before we get into our little meet and greet, I'll turn it over to Rebecca for the 15 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,200 quote of the day and Premi for some headline news. 16 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,000 Our quote of the day comes from Russell Eric Dabda. 17 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,080 He is quoted to have said, taking a break can lead to breakthroughs. 18 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,040 Breaks and pauses can be helpful in many different ways. 19 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,600 Things can happen in school, work and even in your personal lives. 20 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,900 So don't be afraid sometimes. 21 00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:33,040 Just take a break from it. 22 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,680 When you do, don't be surprised if you discover a breakthrough. 23 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,880 That's truly inspiring and thank you for the quote, Rebecca. 24 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,640 Now onto some technology news. 25 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,040 A study of New York has announced that they're blocking access to TikTok on the devices of 26 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,640 government workers. 27 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,040 This stems from data privacy concerns over whether TikTok will be able to inject malicious 28 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,920 content into the devices of government officials or steal important data. 29 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,480 New York currently follows 34 other states in having planned TikTok on government devices. 30 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,880 Now onto some business news. 31 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,120 Right here in Thailand, Thailand's tourism industry has suffered from a decline in tourism 32 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,080 due to an economic recession following the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. 33 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,080 However, Thailand is seeing a growth in tourists once again, based on the number of hotel bookings. 34 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,680 Hotels in Thailand are now hiring more staff in order to prepare for the arrival of more 35 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,840 tourists, providing more jobs and helping the local economy. 36 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,280 For our last news headlines, following months of political deadlock after voters turned 37 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,400 in at the ballot on the 14th of May to cast their votes, the Thai parliament has finally 38 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,000 elected a new prime minister. 39 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,360 Mr. Seythad Hevesin, former CEO of real estate giant Santili, has been nominated as the sole 40 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,360 candidate for the prime minister position of the Plutai party and garnered 482 votes, 41 00:02:45,360 --> 00:03:03,120 far exceeding the required 375 votes needed for him to be elected 42 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:15,040 into power. 43 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,880 Hi people, I'm Rebecca, a junior here at ICS, and I'm joining Students Incorporated 44

work and contribute to the podcast this season. 74 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,320 I'm excited to see how far Students Incorporated will go this season. 75 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:18,140 In our second segment, we will be having a game of two truth and one lie, so stay tuned. 76 00:05:18,140 --> 00:05:21,720 As of now, we are all back at school, fresh from the summer. 77 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,760 And speaking of break, what's one fun thing you all did over break this past summer? 78 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,960 I'll go first. 79 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,040 During the break, I went to my family's new house in Beihai, China, and spent almost 80 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,360 four hours every day in the ocean. 81 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,400 Over summer break, I went to Taiwan and spent two days hiking with a bunch of elderly people. 82 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,880 It was an amazing experience seeing the view from above the clouds. 83 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,080 Something fun I did over the summer was attending a riding camp in Ohio. 84 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,840 Politics aside, I think Ohio gets too much hate. 85 00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:55,120 Ohioans are actually really nice. 86 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,000 Coming back to Thailand was also really fun as well, especially after being away for a 87 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,200 year, catching up with the Thai friends and family. 88 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,240 Aww, that seems so fun, I've never been to Ohio before. 89 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,840 One thing I did during the break that was fun was I went to America and got to see my 90 00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:10,480 baby niece, she's so cute. 91 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,520 And I also got to go to Universal Studios with my best friends and to Disneyland with 92 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,200 my whole entire family. 93 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,240 Wow, you went to two theme parks. 94 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,960 I hope you had fun there. 95 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,600 Something I did that was fun during the summer was being able to stay all mad, have fun watching 96 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,400 videos until very late into the night, since I stayed in Thailand the whole time. 97 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,680 Alright, something fun I did this summer, my family and I traveled back to the US for 98 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,680 three weeks and we were able to reconnect with friends and family, which is always good. 99 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,360 We got to celebrate the 4th of July holiday with a full fireworks show. 100 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:49,080 This happens to be our family's favorite holiday, probably because it's summertime in the USA 101 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,960 and we get to hang out outside and eat a lot of good food and hang out with friends and 102 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:53,960 family. 103 00:06:53,960 --> 00:07:03,800 Okay, thank you everyone for sharing and with that we'll be right back after a short PSA. 104 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:10,880 Today is August 31, 2023, as we all know that our ICS students are so hardworking and diligent. 105 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,840 Somehow school has been putting so much pressure on our precious students. 106 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,440 So students, do something nice for yourself today, find some quiet, sit in stillness, 107 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:26,640 breathe, put your headphones and AirPods on, open Students Incorporated on Spotify or Apple 108 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,880 Podcast or Amazon Music or Google Podcast, grab some Coca Cola and chicken nuggets, you 109 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:32,880 deserve a break. 110 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,400 We're the podcast family. 111 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,880 If you

two. 116 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,800 For this part of the show, we'll be playing a game called Two Truths and One Lie. 117 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,600 Rebecca, could you share the rules of the game and then introduce our two candidates? 118 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,920 Patience and Chanyi will be our candidates. 119 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,400 The rules of the game are easy to follow. 120 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,840 Each person will give us three statements of which one is a lie. 121 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,640 We will try our best to guess which is which. 122 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,920 Patience, are you ready to start us off with your two truths and one lie? 123 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,920 Yes. 124 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,880 Okay, so here are my two truths and a lie. 125 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:31,780 So number one, I'm actually left-handed and right-handed, so I'm ambidextrous. 126 00:08:31,780 --> 00:08:34,560 Number two, I love traveling alone. 127 00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:36,520 And number three, I'm introverted. 128 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,840 Can you guys guess a lie? 129 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:44,680 I think number two is a lie because I feel like you're an extrovert person and you like 130 00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:46,000 to stay with people. 131 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,800 What do you think, Premi? 132 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,920 In general, you're like more outgoing and more confident, but many people interpret 133 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:59,120 the meaning of being introverted as like not as being shy and not talking to people. 134 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,160 But introverted really means that you recharge by being alone or being with close friends 135 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,200 and family. 136 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,720 So honestly, I'm not so sure. 137 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,080 What do you think, Chanyi? 138 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:15,360 I honestly think that number two, I love traveling alone is maybe not true because I do know 139 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,620 that Patience likes to go with her friends to like travel around and stuff. 140 00:09:20,620 --> 00:09:25,280 So based off what other people are saying, like I think Patience is really interested 141 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,280 with her friends a lot. 142 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,120 So I don't think she's that much of an introvert. 143 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,680 So that's what I'm going with. 144 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:33,720 Okay, so have we finalized everybody's choices? 145 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:40,160 So my first two truths are I actually love traveling alone and I am introverted. 146 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,080 My lie is that I'm left-handed and right-handed. 147 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,720 I'm not ambidextrous, sadly. 148 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,720 Thank you, Patience. 149 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,440 Chanyi, it's your turn. 150 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,960 Okay, here are my two truths and one lie. 151 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,100 Number one, I've never been to Australia. 152 00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:59,120 Number two, I've been on the Taekwondo team and won an award. 153 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,280 And number three, I visited an Olympic stadium. 154 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,920 I feel like the lie is number two as well. 155 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,800 You've been on the Taekwondo team because I feel like you're the kind of person who 156 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,440 do like ours, who like work more instead of sports. 157 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,440 What do you think for me? 158 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,120 You know, I think you would be great at Taekwondo. 159 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,520 I think you've won an award. 160 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,520 You've been on the team. 161 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,520 That is true. 162 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,440 I don't think you've been to Australia. 163 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:29,200 So I think that Chanyi is a bit too peaceful to her Taekwondo, no offense. 164 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,840 So that's why I think that's why that's her lie. 165 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:39,280 I think, yeah, number two, I've never like knowing Chanyi like, like we're friends. 166 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,280 I'm not sure. 167 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,000 I've never, I don't even know that she's been on a Taekwondo team and I'm not really 168 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000 sure. 169 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,080 So I think that one is a lie. 170 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:54,400 My two truths are that I've never been to Australia and that I've been on the Taekwondo 171 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,400 team. 172 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,360 The lie is actually that I've been to Olympic stadium. 173 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,680 I've never been there before and I would have said I'd never would have guessed that, but 174 00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:04,680 I did. 175 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:05,680 I was right. 176 00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:06,680 I was right. 177 00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:07,800 You, you, you're amazing at Taekwondo. 178 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:08,800 We all know it. 179 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,640 Well, we hope you enjoyed the true truths in one lie game with Patience and Chanya and 180 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,240 maybe you learned something new about them. 181 00:11:15,240 -->
