In this episode I sat down with Gabriel Antonio Teixeira Dos Santos (a mouthful of a name right).

I didn't realise part of the reason the names could get so long was due to the inclusion of the parents surnames in the kids names, it's always interesting to come across these cultural norms.

There was a particular memory that Gabe shared with me of seeing his mother crying and tearing up photos when he was a young child that brought this memory to the surface for me of seeing a very similar thing with my own mother when I was maybe 16 or 17.

There's something so raw about that memory that it definitely forms a part of my person today.

Anyway, Gabriel is a really great person to train with and it's always admirable to find people who are pursuing a better life.
