In this episode you are going to meet Sergei, a father of two from Latvia who moved to the UK with his wife. After he became a dad, he started doing activities with his children at home and decided to post them on social media. When one of his videos went viral, his luck changed over night and he instantly became an internet sensation! He tells us how he went from 0 followers to the millions he has today.

In this chat you are also going to learn what goes on behind the scenes. Sergei opens up about his childhood, life before he became a father, where he gets all his ideas from, what are the children really like when they are filming and one thing I learned which is probably going to be a surprise to everyone: he doesn’t own a TV! Head to the 49th minute of our chat to understand his decision not to. He also explained to me a fantastic way of doing treasure hunt and get the kids excited to leave the house.

As two good Russian speakers, Sergei and his wife are making sure that the children will only speak in Russian to them and even take them to Russian school. All the English they learnt was at school or from previous baby classes. Alex, Sergei’s first son, even says he prefers to speak in English to Russian, even though he spent the first eight years of his life speaking the latter! To learn more about this and everything else, just stick around until the end, I promise it won’t disappoint.
