What does it really mean when people say 'find what your passionate about'? How do you find it if you don't even know what that looks like? In this episode, we sit down with Francis, an inspiring creative whose journey from Angola to the UK is filled with powerful lessons on resilience, risk, and redefining success.

Together, we explore:

• How to reframe challenges and disadvantages as opportunities for growth.
• The sacrifices our parents and grandparents made to give us freedom and choice.
• Why so many kids from immigrant backgrounds struggle with identity and direction - and what we can do about it.
• The pivotal moment that changed Francis’ life and led him to discover his passion for photography.
• Why society stifles creativity and how breaking the rules leads to innovation.
• Navigating the "lonely chapter" of pursuing your passion and how to decide if it’s worth turning it into a career.
• Why we need people to break the rules to fuel creativity and innovation

Whether you're looking for inspiration, guidance on finding your purpose, or a fresh perspective on how your roots shape your future, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
