Francis Ngannou is a gifted athlete. But his path to superstardom is far from ordinary (and I mean FAR), both as a sports-star and as an immigrant. The UFC champion's story, which took him from a small village in Cameroon to being regarded as the hardest puncher in the history of MMA, is nothing short of a Hollywood movie in the making (and to be honest it probably already IS in the making). Ngannou's immigration journey is an inspiration not just to fans of UFC, or even to the world of sport, but is truly something that the the entire world should hear, and it also speaks volumes about his character. Even Joe Rogan describes his episode with Ngannou as 'one of the most moving and impactful conversations' ever. So as part of the Key Lessons from Famous Immigrant Stories series, I highlight the four (and it could have been many more) key messages I learnt about Ngannou from his incredible and emotional story. It's by far my favourite so far (no offence to the previous ones).

We cover A LOT, so here's what to expect: RELATIONSHIPS & EXPECTATION > How can you leverage conflict and 'argue better' to help strengthen relationships?> How do people who frequently travel and move countries manage to form deep relationships? VALIDATION & IDENTITY > How can I move away from the fear of what other people think about me, or living my life in proxy to what I want people to think about me?> Is media incorrectly influencing the decisions and actions of the younger generation, or is it helping them wake up to their true identity?> How can I take action on my ambitions or beliefs without the anxiety of failure and need for approval?> How can I overcome feeling like a misfit when moving to a new country. IMPACT & (DIVINE) INTERVENTION > Are we all destined for greatness? What does it mean to be great?> Is our fate / destiny already written? And what role does free will play?> What impact are wokeism ideologies having on the younger generation?> How do we identify divine moments in our life and take action on them?

Brazilian native, Michellee Fox is a slow food chef and small minority farmer advocate. And on top of this, she's joined an amazing initiative for a food and lifestyle television network, known as FoodBay TV, as the North South America Business Development Manager. Through our conversation I've realised that she really is leading the charge for the food revolution that we are seeing - and as she puts it "until all of us, including chefs, farmers, the F&B industry and government decide to take seasonality, regenerative and slow food practices seriously, we are all contributing to the decay of our civilisation". Oh and did I mention she has also grown cannabis in Humboldt, California, ( which makes up the Emerald Triangle and is known for producing some of the best cannabis in the world) using regenerative practices. Well I had the immense pleasure of discussing and reliving the journey that took this incredible woman from her humble backgrounds in Brazil, to the US and beyond. This really was an adventure from start to finish. In this episode, we discuss: Rebelling against stereotypes in Brazil Learning from her grandmother Struggling to integrate in Alabama Bringing skateboarding to the favelas Coming out of her shell in Hawaii Instilling Brazilian values in her children Taking BIG risks and flourishing in California Leading the food revolution 'Food tourism' in Africa through Food Bay TV ... and more! Get in contact with Michellee through her Instagram @chefmichelleefox to discuss everything from being a Brazilian immigrant to the US, seasonal nutrition, food tourism in Africa, and much much more. ____________________ Get in touch with me whether you have any comments or insights on what was discussed in this episode, or whether you'd like to be a guest on the show to share your own story, experiences and lessons learnt so they can live on for the generations ahead.
