This week I have a special guest, my brother-in-law Francois ‘Frank’ Daniels, Software Engineering Manager at a Fortune 500 company. Growing up on the Cape Flats, Frank had to conquer a lot of hardships and adversity- such as poverty and gang violence to name a few- to reach his mountain top. Frank recalls how he would only get one pair of shoes a year and how his peers would pick on him because of this. Using the hard times as fuel, frank poured all his energy into his passion, determined to succeed, and give his family the opportunities he wishes he had.

During this episode frank and I speak about what it was like growing up on the Cape Flats, how easy it is to fall victim to the gang culture and get trapped in the poverty cycle. We also look at what life is like now living in the US, and compare it to his early struggles. We also look at the biggest lessons he learned on his journey and how his recipe for summiting your mountain.

Stay tuned this is an episode not to be missed.
