Este es un episodio especial de Words Fail Me, Las palabras me fallan, grabado en español ¡para nuestros oyentes de lengua hispana! Presentado por Lorea Acebes.
Nuestro invitado hoy es el fundador y presentador del podcast “Consejo de varón”.
El paso por la escuela de Oscar suena a una historia a menudo familiar para los disléxicos. La escuela secundaria estuvo marcada para él por un incidente: la habilidad de Oscar programando computadoras significó que él podía enseñar codificación a todos sus compañeros. Por el trabajo todos recibieron la máxima calificación, una “A”, pero Oscar como tenía faltas de ortografía sólo recibió una “B”.
Durante sus años en Olympia, Washington, Oscar obtuvo una licenciatura en Ingeniería Mecánica con especialidad en Robótica por la Universidad del Estado de Washington. Después de terminar la universidad se convirtió en un exitoso gerente de inversión de capital gestionando proyectos tanto en los Estados Unidos como en México.
El objetivo de su podcast es empoderar a los hombres latinos para el éxito, construyendo un legado y realizándose espiritualmente.
Este podcast está financiado gracias a la ayuda del fondo comunitario de la Lotería Nacional de Reino Unido y a proyectos EPIC, Proyecto Ecuménico para la Cooperación Internacional.
EPIC es una organización sin ánimo de lucro establecida en los Estados Unidos. EPIC crea lazos entre personas solidarias dedicadas a resolver los desafíos globales de la pobreza, la inseguridad alimentaria, la degradación ambiental, los derechos humanos y la paz.

Our guest today is the founder and host of the Consejo de Varon Podcast, Oscar Armendariz.
Oscar’s schooling is a very familiar story for dyslexics, typified by one incident in high school: Oscar’s skill with computer programming meant he could teach the entire class how to code – for which they all received A’s - but Oscar’s spelling meant he only received a B.
Growing up in Olympia, Washington, Oscar gained a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering with a major in Robotics from Washington State University. After leaving university he went on to become a successful Capital Investment Manager, managing projects in the US and Mexico.
The aim of his podcast is to empower Latino men to success, building a legacy and spiritual fulfilment.

Our guest for this week’s episode is the Solicitor and first-tier Tribunal judge, Nadine Clarkson.
In school Nadine received very little support for her dyslexia. In fact, her headmistresses didn’t believe dyslexia was real. Despite this, she gained 12 GCSEs was put onto an Oxbridge entry class – but again did not have the support a dyslexic needs to complete the A levels needed for successful Oxbridge entry. She eventually studied law to become a barrister.
Once graduated she found herself wanting to be part of cases which help change the lives of many and not just the individual in the case. To do this as soon as possible after qualifying she transferred and qualified as a solicitor with higher court advocacy rights.
She worked for eight years as a solicitor and had eight reported cases, including two successes in the European Court of Justice and one in the House of Lords, the precursor to the Supreme Court.
After having her children, she felt she could not work the hours required and look for an alternative career and decided to apply to the judiciary. She was appointed as a first-tier Tribunal judge in social security and have worked in this area for the past 11 years.
