"Every Successful Story Begins with a Dream" with Guest, Educator and "Grill Culture" Master, Thierry Oliva

Should Have Listened to My Mother Podcast

Thierry mentions a number of times how his mom never complains, no matter what she's up against. He says she's really remarkable.

When he was a young boy, he told his mom that he was going to be the president of France one day and his mom was so proud and excited. She still to this day shows her support for her son and her daughter.

Leila has always been an inspiration to her son, including helping him complete his dream to come and live in the US, she's his "Culinary Inspiration," helped shape his life with the "Fusion of Cultures," and a dreamer.

"Mom was always open to the world," as she still is today says Thierry.

And while Thierry isn't grilling, he's a special needs teacher in CA. As a child he struggled in school. His teacher repeatedly wrote home saying, "Thierry is a smart child but lazy and often distracted." He's certain that he would have been diagnosed with ADD had those labels been in use back then. He has many fortunate students now.

Hope you enjoy the conversation.

Jackie's guests were open and honest and answer the question, are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother and so much more. You'll be amazed at what the responses are.
