In this season, I get to share the fun, insightful and inspiring experiences of my brilliant guests to find out what you can learn through their passions, expertise and perspectives on popular life topics through the lens of being a third culture individual.

We cover some of life's most common questions:- Is it easier to build relationships with other TCKs or children from immigrant backgrounds?- How do you answer when someone asks 'Where are you from?'- Were we picked last in sports because we weren't from the same background as others?- Would we raise our children in the same we were raised?- Do I still practice the traditions my parents would when I was growing up?

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).

Let me know your views on what was discussed in the episode:
