from ABROAD STAGE · host Oana Lacatis

What happens when you grow up across five countries and never fully belong to just one?In this episode of ABROAD STAGE, we talk about identity, language, culture and how it’s like rebuilding yourself in new environments. Today’s guest has lived across Israel, Hong Kong, France, Canada and China, constantly adapting to new languages, new systems and new ways of thinking. We went deep into what happens when you spend decades living abroad and stop identifying with just one country, one culture or even one version of yourself. We talk about why China feels faster than the rest of the world, how language changes the way you think and why some people become addicted to movement, challenge and reinvention.Nil Larom is the founder of Insaight.ai, focused on AI adoption, leadership training, workforce upskilling and helping companies navigate technology in a more human and practical way.Topics we explore: • Learning Chinese through work• Growing up as a third culture kid• Why China feels more alive than the West• How different languages change your personality• Why social media feels increasingly disconnected• Identity, adaptation and rebuilding yourself abroad• How technology is reshaping human interaction• The real danger of AI and generic communication• The emotional side of never fully belonging anywhere• Why students should focus on projects instead of only degrees• The difference between real communication and algorithm-driven contentIf you’ve ever lived between cultures, questioned where home is or felt changed by another country, this episode will probably hit close to home.Reach out to Nil on LinkedIn:   / nillarom  Follow his work: www.insight.ai
