Imagine growing up and realizing that your dad was one of history's greatest cultural icons and martial arts master, Bruce Lee.

Being the daughter of one of the most famous people in the world, today's guest, Shannon Lee, had to find her own identity within the Lee Family. Unlike many children of celebrities, her deep love for her father and his philosophy led her to carry his last name and her father's legacy with pride.

Shannon lost her father at the age of four, and unlike many people think, only four years of her life helped her to discover the real essence of her father, growing a desire in her of getting to know him more personally through his memories.

Today, on Bruce Lee's birthday, we want to celebrate by sharing this episode with you.

Enjoy!
