    I shot this film to give an insight into a small part of my journey. There were things that I learned for the first time whilst filming this which means this was a real journey of discovery for me personally. All in all, what I hope people take from this is some comfort in knowing that all things are possible with ambition, hard work, a bit of luck and sponsors who are willing to give you a chance. We are not defined by our past, we have control, we have the power to create the future we want.

    I finally managed to watch this episode in full today. Twice before I started and got so overwhelmed by it had to stop, not sad or anything just induced too much emotions. God bless you Pete, you've walked a long way to get here...

    I’ve looked forward to watching this. It’s heartwarming to see your story and i love your content. Everybody needs a Mandy in their life. Someone showing an interest to believe in you, encourages the belief in yourself.
    Ive learnt so much in the past few month from your videos and podcasts that i wish i had learnt many years ago.
    I have so much respect for you!

      Everyone definitely needs a Mandy, for sure. Thank you for watching and following the channel and podcast.

    Wow... this is fantastic Pete, this feels like something you would see on Netflix not TH-cam! The storytelling was amazing and watching you looking into your past and letting us come with you on that journey and experience was a pleasure.
    You and your story truly is an inspiration to those who've been dealt a bad hand. Absolutely brilliant.

    Thank you Pete for telling your story and sharing really personal aspects of your childhood. That is truly brave and courageous. I am not surprised that everyone saw something in you, even when you were little. You are a legend and a great role model for your community. Thank you for everything that you do

    Hi Pete, thanks a lot for this film, its showed me that life style contrast experience is driving people to success, who knows where would you end up if you would stay in Hastings or UK. I think cultural shock, bulling and learning to fight back played a big role in your character development.
    Thanks a lot for being so open with us and being so helpfull. Happy Birthday mate, you look 30 the most, I cant believe you're 42, can you make a video about your moisturising routine next please )))

Wish you all the best...and really I see you as a very inspiring guy, so please don't ever think that smaller channels can't make memorable ripples in peoples lives :)

  • @David-jv7ot

    What a powerful and emotive storey Peter. i am a wee bit older than you, but I can identify with how the '70s was for many people. i too had some issues during that time, my socioeconomic background typifies that I should be a 9-5 worker in a council house, with a wife and kids, out on a Friday with the lads and the match on a Saturday. there is nothing wrong with that, but what I was born into wasn't my choice, and for me, it wasn't enough. Happily, the successful person I have become, is shared with a wonderful family, with a paid-up mortgage, and a holiday home in Somerset and we have accrued a decent amount of self-built wealth that I know my kids can enjoy when they are older.. in my view we can either sit and weep about our lot or we can get off our arse and make changes.. you mate are an amazing person, I don't know you personally but it comes across that you are decent intelligent erudite bloke, and I love your videos and channel.. more power to you mate salute..

    Good story nevertheless you're asking the wrong person questions he do not have the answer.
    Why were your fostered?
    You Mum is still living,
    Your brother's are still alive and relatives including me and your uncle whom you claimed kidnapped you to Nigeria..
    asked them those questions that you don't understand.
    We are all grown and we have knew why we made some decisions.
    Cheers brother.
