ML309: Dr. Jill Kushner Bishop (CEO of Multilingual Connections)

<p>Dr. Jill Kushner Bishop is the Founder &amp; CEO of Multilingual Connections, a Chicago-based company that provides translation, transcription, transcreation, multimedia localization and research services in over 75 languages.</p><br><p>Jill’s early fascination with language and culture led her to pursue a BA in the Teaching of Spanish and an MA/PhD in Linguistic Anthropology.&nbsp;Her dissertation, More than a language, a travel agency: ideology and performance in the Israeli Judeo-Spanish revitalization movement, focuses on Judeo-Spanish, an obsolescing language spoken by descendants of Jews exiled from Spain in 1492.</p><br><p>An unexpected opportunity brought Jill to the corporate world, where she worked as a user experience researcher for a business and technology consulting firm. She was later able to leverage her skills and background—plus her love of burritos—when she was hired to oversee language, culture, and diversity programs for Chipotle Mexican Grill.</p><br><p>In 2005, Jill took the next step in her career by launching Multilingual Connections. She is passionate about creating a great work environment for her team and she is proud of the impact of their work in the community and across the world.</p><br><p>When she’s not working, Jill loves spending time with her husband and teen son, renovating houses, traveling around the world, and going for long walks around Evanston.</p><p><strong>More Info: </strong><a href="https://multilingualconnections.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Multilingual Connections</strong></a></p><br><p><strong><u>Sponsors: </u></strong></p><p><strong>Master Your Podcast Course: </strong><a href="https://masteryourswag.passion.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>MasterYourSwag</strong></a></p><p><strong>Free Coaching Session:</strong> <a href="https://usemotion.com/meet/MasterLeadership360/Coaching?d=30" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Master Leadership 360 Coaching</strong></a></p><p><strong>Support Our Show:</str
