Hey, Jessica, how you doing?
I am fantastic.
I feel like so energized just about life.
So many things are going well and there's so many exciting things coming up.
Awesome.
And you just had a birthday the other day, isn't that right?
I did.
And we celebrated by going to a sushi restaurant with some friends.
Oh, really?
Oh, that sounds great.
Sushi.
I love sushi.
Me too.
Oh, so much.
And I'm so glad that my six-year-old son loves it.
How lucky is that?
We have like...
We have a favorite Japanese restaurant and it's random.
It looks like nothing from the outside.
It's like near a mall in like a weird area of town.
But we discovered it four years ago and it's been our favorite restaurant since then.
We like know all the staff.
It's so good.
Awesome.
That's awesome.
You're getting your son on Japanese food early.
I love that idea.
Yeah.
Speaking of Japanese food, today's episode is exclusively for our Japanese listeners.
Jessica, what are we talking about today?
What are we hinting at today?
Okay, Japanese listeners, we have so many of you out there and we have some very, very exciting news just for you guys.
That is going to blow your mind.
It's going to blow your mind.
And today we're just going to give you some hints.
See if you can guess what is going to happen.
Yes.
Okay, here you go.
Yes.
Hint number one.
Okay, hint number one.
What is it?
Some of you guys, some of you amazing, amazing, lucky listeners are going to get to meet a us.
Meet me, Jessica and Lindsay.
I have to identify us.
I know some people are like, is that Michelle?
Is it Jessica?
Right, right, right.
Some of you guys are going to get to hang out with us.
That is so cool, right?
We rarely get to meet our listeners in person.
It's very rare, right?
We have millions of listeners.
We've had thousands of listeners over the years and I've only met a handful maybe about 12 of them in person, 13 maybe.
So this time we're going to have a chance to meet some of you guys, right?
So that is our hint number one.
And you want to listen in today, because next week you're going to get the invitation for what is going to happen.
But for today, it's just the hints.
How cool, Jessica.
I am so excited.
I know you guys have been listening to the show for a long time.
You're fans.
You know how excited Lindsay and I are, how motivated we are to open up in 2018 and get to meet more of our listeners.
So that is the first big hint.
We already have a plan to do that.
Awesome.
And now let's roll out hint number two, Jessica.
What is hint number two?
Drum roll.
I know, we need sound effects.
We do, we do.
Oh, I wish I could make more sound effects.
I'm not good at that.
Okay, so hint number two, you guys.
When you hang out with us, when you get to meet us, it's not just oh, we're going to have, you know, some tea.
No, it's not that.
It's going to be intense, you guys, and I know that you're ready for this.
It's going to change your life, and that sounds kind of crazy.
We realize this, but...
We know what our lessons do, what the plans we have to teach you guys and to work with you guys in English.
This is going to be a magical transformation.
Nothing less than that.
I love that.
It's mind-blowing because we've seen this happen with other students, right?
Yes.
And so we know it works, and we're so excited to be able to do this for more of our exclusive fans in Japan.
Exactly.
And again, we're not telling you guys exactly what's happening yet.
So you do need to be listening to the podcast next week.
We're going to tell you how to get onto the VIP email list so that you can be the very first to hear about it next week, when we do open this opportunity for you.
But magical transformation, I mean, that's what we want, right, in life.
We want to become someone new, especially when it comes to our English.
Exactly.
And this is, I mean, this is bigger than English.
But yes, it starts with English.
But I can tell you guys, it's bigger than that.
This transformation, it's not just like... oh, I can talk about food better.
It's not like that.
This transformation, it's a deep transformation.
It's not a surface transformation.
Exactly.
That's the thing.
Yes, it will improve your English.
That's guaranteed, number one.
That's definitely.
But it's more than that.
How do we improve English?
It's not just memorizing grammar rules.
No, it's…
The confidence, it's getting over the fear, right?
And those are things we carry into every aspect of our lives.

At work, around your friends.
When you're speaking English or when you're speaking Japanese, it doesn't matter.
It's about the person that you can become.
Okay, I love that.
I love that.
All right.
I think our listeners are ready for hit number three.
Lindsay, how do you know?
Have you had like a magic transformation where you could like read people's minds in the future?
Maybe that's what we're going to reveal next week.
Who knows?
Yeah.
So we know because, like I said, we know because we've talked to people who have gone through something similar.
So no more information is available today on that exactly.
But we have talked to people who have gone through it and they have also experienced the transformation.
And that's how we know what this is going to bring for you guys.
Exactly.
Okay, so hint number three.
Another drumroll.
Drumroll.
This incredible opportunity, guys, this once in a lifetime chance. is going to happen this spring.
All right?
This spring, we're thinking April.
I'm just going to make this hint a little bit more specific.
So guys, look at your plan now, okay?
Let's just know that in April...
You are going to get to experience something amazing, this life-changing once-in-a-lifetime chance guys this spring.
Exactly.
So for this week and this weekend, you guys can start to get ideas.
Try to guess what's actually going on.
And then the one thing that we want to emphasize, it's super important to remember today, guys –
This is, we don't have spots for all of our listeners, okay?
We have very few limited spots for what's going to happen, okay?
The thing is, that would be impossible, okay?
That would be impossible.
The reason why we are focusing on you guys in Japan, the reason why we are focusing on this group of our amazing fans, is because there are so many more.
I mean, we love you guys.
And that's why we are so excited to get to do something with you guys in the spring.
Because there are so many of you there.
But that means... that not all of you will get to participate.
You know, so it's really important, guys, that you get on this email list now.
You can just pause this podcast right now after Lindsay tells you where to go get on this email list now.
So you are the first person in Japan that will get to.
Hmm, put your name into the hat If you will.
Right.
That we'll get to hear about it.
Exactly.
So go right now to allearsenglish.com forward slash early.
That's E-A-R-L-Y.
And before we finish up today, I just want to go back to that piece and emphasize the numbers here guys,
We have more than 5,000 listeners in Japan.
And Jessica, how many... are we going to have available for this magical transformation experience?
How many spots will we have available?
The maximum number.
Okay, so first, guys, just remember the first number.
Remember the first number.
How many fans are there of All Ears English in Japan?
It is almost 6,000, all right?
It is nearly 6000, but only 50.
That's 5-0.
Only 50 of you guys will get to experience the magical transformation this spring.
All right.
So that's a huge difference.
All right.
So now you know how important it is.
Get on that email list, guys.
Get your name first on there so you are the first person to hear about this opportunity.
Exactly.
So guys, go on over right now to allearsenglish.com forward slash early, E-A-R-L-Y.
Put your name in there and you will be the first to hear about it when we launch this, when we open the opportunity next week, so that you can sign up right away, get in and get your spot.
Again, Only 50 spots.
There's going to be a lot of competition for the spots, guys.
Okay?
Awesome.
It is a highly competitive situation when you look at the numbers.
But you know what?
We're going to have 50 this time.
And then who knows?
Maybe we could do more some other time.
But that's not going to happen for a while.
Exactly.
So it's really important to get in here first, guys.
Get in here first.
And then, once you're on the email list, wait for an email at the beginning of next week and wait for a podcast episode a little bit after that, beginning middle of next week, guys.
And we are excited to talk about this opportunity again next week.
All right, Jessica, it's been fun.
And I'm so excited for our Japanese listeners.
It's been really hard not to tell you guys more.
Okay.
I'm just going to say that because it's so incredible.
Okay.
I'm just, I'll wait till next week.
I can do it.
All right.
That sounds good.
We'll see you back on the show next week.
All right.
Bye.
All right.
