Huge thank you to Gordon for opening up on life in multiple council houses, being a luncheon voucher child and his relationship with his family. Such openness and honesty! What was your favourite moment?
I was a voucher kid too. Didn’t really think about it back then but subconsciously it must have done something for me. I’m not a high flyer but have done time in the Army, now have a career in finance and own own my own home - owning a house would have been unthinkable to me when I was at school. At 31 I should give myself a bit more credit I think.
I saw Gordon once at the airport and could see that he looked a bit stressed and likely wanted to be left alone. I decided that the nicest thing I could do if I appreciated his work was to just leave him be. Thanks Gordon, wherever you are, really appreciate you and all the skill, talent, hard work and great entertainment you've given us!
If you can't read when someone wants to be left alone...there's something with you. (In general not you) Celebs are just people...some work very hard...some work insane hours. Imagine being them and always having to put on a happy face.
I read all of Gordon Ramseys books at about age 22yrs while battling an eating disorder. I ended up taking a catering course at my local college and it revived my trust in food. I recovered and was able to eat, cook and feed my children as a single mum. I’m 41 now and still so grateful for this man telling his story xxx
May I ask what you mean by trust in your food? Was there some sorta bad experience that occurred? Or was it like overthinking to the point of paralyzing yourself? Cause I've been there in the overthinking department, not regarding food, but somewhat similar still.
Me and my partner had the privilege of Gordon Ramsays company a few weeks ago at his restaurant at the savoy London. We were eating our dinner and Gordon walked in and we couldn’t believe it! We stopped eating and put our cutlery down in awe… we didn’t run up to him out of respect. However after a while he walked passed our table and asked to join us and we of course said yes… he was the kindest and most caring guy ever!! He was genuinely interested in us as people! He very kindly bought us a drink. We sat for 15 mins chatting and we just felt so lucky. What’s the chances of going to Gordon Ramsays restaurant and the man himself ends up joining you!!! Mental!!! But absolutely amazing and we will never forget it.
Gordon is so authentic in answering questions. He also follows his own advice when his father in law told him to “ sell the Porsche “ and he sold it. That takes humility. God bless u Gordon.
As a kid I lost my parents, and I remember I wasn’t allowed to watch Gordon due to the swearing, but I used to go behind everyone’s back to watch him religiously. I went to cooking and culinary school with a dream to be like him, and now I’m a qualified chef and I thank him for all the inspiration! Love you Gordon! 🙏🙏
I was only a small time pub/ café chef with no training. I would watch Gordon Ramsey's kitchen nightmares all the time, he taught me so much. I had health and safety inspect my kitchen, all they did was open one fridge and see how clean and organised it was they didn't bother looking at anything else and I got a top rating. I owe that to Gordon, even though I was small time I did it to the highest standard I could. Fresh, simple, clean and all homemade. Watching this video just makes me respect him more, a true inspiration, thanks for providing interview - was brilliant 🙂
First off, the fact that this dude hasn't had a heart attack from stress is mind blowing me and my gf always watch everything he makes and sometimes I'm like dude HOW does he keep up with alllllll of this and stay genuine. He's such a SAAAAVAGE
that's actually what i was hoping they might address- how do you keep your empire going? how do you decide what projects to take on and what to pass on? how will you know when it's time to scale back? re: the restaurant group- how important is it to keep long-time employees/collaborators with you and how do you mutually recognize it's time for someone to move on, either because they're burnt out or because they need to go and create something for themselves? (bonus, super nosy question: how much time does your wife really get to spend with you?)
“You haven’t been diagnosed with a horrendous disease. You haven’t been given 6 months to live”……….That one phrase had so much power in it for me. I’ve been convincing myself that in this low spot I’m in with a medical issue immediately after retiring that I just had to accept it. This single statement by Gordon really sunk in deep so, I got up & screamed “No! this is not my lot in life to accept! Thank you Gordon & the interviewer for providing this powerful inspiring message 🙏🏼❣️
Actually I have. They gave me 6 months to live along with my Cancer diagnosis. I refused treatment... Chemo/radiation... I figured if I only had 6 months I wasn't going to spend it sick. I wanted to spend it having fun with my boy's who was 6&8 at the time. I remember after a year passed, I was thankful to have the extra time, after a few years passed I was very thankful.... Now after 15 years has passed I have had much time to understand many things in life. Being upset or mad at small things isn't a thing.... Big thing's aren't really that big. Life is short, God is great and enjoy what you time you have left. I'm very thankful. I still have cancer, as matter of fact they gave me a second diagnosis of cancer about 8 months ago, blood cancer this time. I do a few things for that but my boy's are all grown up now and I really am not scared to die anymore, so I am okay with it. Granted I don't want to leave but I'm not afraid to anymore. So it is what it is. I'm just glad I got to raise my boy's and teach them.
Yeah I was more of a fan earlier, but I'm someone who appreaciates loyalty. And to see what he did to his mentor kinda destroyed his image, and rightfully so.
Another very important thing - father figure. So many people are having problems in their life because fathers/father figures are missing. Men need that. So much. And men are important for that hopefully people are starting to wake up and realise that we need to uplift men.
I almost didn’t click on this, but I’m glad I did. So many people classify Gordon as a brash, rude, arrogant guy. But if you really watch him, you find that he has a huge heart. He’s just brutally honest. Believe me, you want people like that in your life!
There are too many that cant use their common sense....its not a wonder he loses it from time to time. I would do anything to spend a year training with him but first as a waitress, that is the best way to learn the menu......being armed with that knowledge going into the kitchen is a huge part of becoming a great chef.
I had always thought that and so never watched anything he was in but when I did I was genuinely surprised to find that he NEVER attacks a person without sincere love in his heart. He really, truly wants humans - all humans - to succeed and be their best. I could not stop watching for a good few months - and I don't really care about food (I cook decently and rarely eat out).
This interview is insane seeing Gordon be so down to earth and so honest is incredible it breaks down how real he is and honest he could be this man is amazing and is truly an inspiration to us all
That's how he's in a real life. All that swearing and cursing was only for show I met him in a person and talked to him and he's very nice guy - calm, down to earth...lovely.
I was at La international airport and Gordon and Tilly were trying to get the SUV and the paparazzi was just bombarding them I tried to run some interference and it helped a little bit and I got the best thing from chef Ramsay he smiled at me and winked as to say thank you. I admire the man for overcoming great difficulty.
I’m a single mom. I grew up in a house with heated up canned veggies and hamburger helper and a lot of frozen dinners. Gordon was my inspiration to cook quick and easy, but healthy meals for my son. I involve my son in the cooking process and he loves (almost) everything from chicken pineapple Thai curry to Keema to spicy beef enchiladas and loves his veggies. Thank you Gordon for being an inspiration for those of us who didn’t grow up with parents to help teach us how to cook ❤
Thanks for being self aware and accountable and saving your kid is life and setting him up for a real one and breaking the cycle and not just blame others or parents etc ... Great job! Thanks you for existing and kicking excuses in the ass !
That’s wonderful Mama❤ I’m a single mom of four teens and if I couldn’t afford restaurants I would recreate what my kids craved at home whether it was sushi,curry or fish n chips.Now I have four teens who can cook WELL ❤
I absolutely love chef Gordon Ramsay. He has changed my cooking game. I cook for my kids and they think they're at a restaurant. I yell at my husband if he burned something and didn't fix it right. I just turned my house upside down but it runs like a well well oiled machine😂😂😂
Gordon Ramsay's dedication, desire, and commitment for being one of the world's best restauranteurs is always the Gold Standard aspiring star chefs to follow. He's also proven that those who came from tough and austere backgrounds can work hard to become a huge success. Well done!!
I admire and respect Chef Ramsay. His passion is rare. His perfection ultimately was/is a sacrifice, yet a great gift to the world. I’m glad he’s slowing down and enjoying life. Blessings to Chef Ramsey and his family.
Top notch interviewer. He did the research for great questions. Gordon is the standard for today. He is a no BS person whether he’s fixing a kitchen or a small hotel/ resort. His approach to fixing things is always about compassion and education. Hell’s Kitchen he shows what standards and expectations are. He’s the same talented guy in any video he’s been involved. His advice to young people wondering about how they should proceed in life was priceless. His children are an exemplar for their successes.
Having worked in the largest commercial bakery in Canada for 20 years, all the while a fan of Gordon Ramsay, I couldnt look away from this episode. Thank you for the insights and honesty. I've been following Gordon for 20+ years, and all the while dealing with chronic health issues, from epilepsy to crohns disease, which made me turn to steadfast, resilient people like Gordon, to push through and continue to grow despite all forms of adversity. I'm in my late 30's now, and still ready to take on big challenges, and push through the pain, being truly grateful to still be able to function in the highest stress, workload environment, without any regrets. THANK YOU GORDON RAMSAY!
What a fantastic interviewer! I didn’t catch his name, but he really made Gordon open up. Ramsey showed a vulnerable side that I didn’t know he had. He is extremely eloquent and sensitive deep down.
This was exceptional what a fast hour I’ve always been a Gordon fan and his shows but hearing his life and perspective gave me a new appreciation he’s an inspiration
I teach hospitality at a private University in L.A. and always show my students his videos. They love him and me too! I hope you are regenerating and come back even stronger! Blessings your way Gordon.
"Never fear the storm, learn to dance in the rain" One of the many things I took to heart from this interview. God bless him and his family. Also most memorable: "I felt like I shit an eggroll"
listening to this is GENUINELY inspiring. i had a similar upbringing as Gordan and for a long time i thought that was all I was destined to be. but hearing his story is living proof that no matter where you come from, you can succeed if you’re hungry enough.
He's the real deal. If you go to the top culinary schools in the western world, 80% of students applying for the schools have Gordon Ramsay in their top 3 influences. I know this for a fact. There is no other person aside from Einstein that is held in such a high regard in their field of study. Not Elvis, Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise, Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Mark Twain, Stanley Kubrick, Quentin Tarantino, Stephen King, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Tom Brady, and I can go on and on. There is no other equal of Gordon Ramsay in any profession.
@@BlackangelKatakurihe’s literally a former president, real estate marvel, owns brands, hotels, restaurants, and more lmao he literally rebuilt a whole state in its darkest times don’t be dense
@@Kdsburner6996he inherited his dads money and the only reason he has any money now is ripping people off, Google will tell you as much. He doesn’t pay contractors and he committed felony tax fraud in New York and was a shit President, objectively ranked by historians. Not really a great role model honestly, even considering he was found liable for sexual assault, and went bankrupt 6 times, anyone else would be considered a fuck up.
It is now not surprising to see how driven this incredible man is, knowing a bit more of his background. It made me think of my early years in education in a foreign country amongst very rich kids .. and I just thought my parents have not even got a quarter of these people's money, but I will show them - I will have to simply be the best I can be and beat them in every subject and I even beat them in their own language studies! They could not touch me any more - their money was nothing to me - I had pride and confidence. Once you have been through a tough time, you can manage anything ... so glad I watched this - incredible man, an inspiration!
I believe thats how i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and CFS. The sink or swim ,the pressure as a kid. The screaming get up,chores now... your adrenaline is up and down ,your cortisol levels are through the roof. We were definitely made to feel different. The separation of rich vs poor does segregate you and you have to fight to be seen. With food ,you can taste it. With woodwork you can feel if. With music you can hear it, poetry you can read it . If you want it bad enough, you'll do it. Remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease. My father was never there .We need more present fathers.
@@alalalala57 There was no England. Northern islanders lived up north, and below was The Roman Empire and then The Holy Roman Empire. If you want to find out what was a real dividing line, look up Hadrians' Wall, across the island, built by Emperor Hadrian. Scots invented the first encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia Britannica, the first English dictionary, The Merriam-Webster, and the King James Holy Bible in English. The Holy Bible was published to start wars in Europe, the people rising up against the armies of the bishops of the pope in Rome. Scots say Hadrians' Wall fell without a drop of Scottish blood being shed.
I'm so glad I came across this. I'm almost Gordon's age and learnt very similar lessons along the way, just driven. Not to succeed but just driven. Raised my family while learning what I needed to and currently working with my 'Piere' as I'm typing this. All the things he's mentioned along the lines of..sell your fucken Porsche, banks won't touch you etc, no one sees this, no one imparts this which I think is important because the journey your in can be isolating because it's your dream. Thank you Gordon for imparting these tidbits and insights. I've tried to raise my kids to chase there dreams, fail big and often, support one another but don't chase the money and accolades as they are fleeting. Oh and a final note, I'm a no nonsense person always have been. It can be lonely...but worth it as life for me is drama free and I have more focus..❤ Brilliant interview and great leading questions!! Loved this
Shit. People like Gordon are just amazing. There really are different tiers of people in life. The people like Gordon who grab life by the balls and make it work for them or bust and then the people like me who is just happy with the easy route or the path of least resistence. I just sit in awe to these people as I just simply so not have the same drive and ambition they have. Absolute Legend.
Am so happy to have worked with Gordon’s production team on one of his uncharted episode. Coolest guy to work with and I have the highest respect for him! his story is amazing and inspiring 🙌🏼
I was in the pub every day of my life after work. Started getting into watching Gordon Ramsey and he made me want to cook. The reason I now come home from work is to cook for my kids. He will never know how much he helped me be a better person and dad
Gordon has incredible analytical skills. Watching his series for several months, his accessesment of situations is amazing. Truly appreciate him. He's a blessing in so many people's lives❤especially for his kids and wife. Inspirational and so kind, he's all heart and soul.
Gordon is definitely why I'm a Chef, but, hearing his backstop makes me appreciate him even more. Cause he's just a normal person, whose gone through some of the same horseshit some of us have gone through. He's a beautiful person and a amazing chef.
Yeah I think as a younger man he rebelled. I know yrs ago he almost lost his wife. He's taken the crashes he's gone through and chosen to grow. His mum has taught him too,but he bounced back and those 6 children of his has changed his heart.
Gordan is someone to look up too. He's put in the hard work, soaked up everything he has learned through the years & used it to better his life in such a great way. Really great interview 🫶
This was one of the best things iv watched in a while. The grit and determination Gordon has got to get where he is today is inspirational. What a man he is - great interview
Thanks for interviewing this Legend Gordon!!! Greetings from Hong Kong and watch all of your episodes!!! Gordon is a golden asset for this world, regardless the "rude" languages that we all sometimes need and just be sooooo real!!
To begin with, what a great interviewer. He listens intently to every answer and builds on that answer with the next question, then he sums up now and again with the points Gordon has made to move on to the next aspect of the interview. He is also really enjoying listening to Gordon as well. I love Gordon’s how that is based in his own kitchen with his kids helping him out. When his kids are chopping things for example, you can see that he is terrified that they will slice themselves, dad in action. His best show is his ultimate cookery course (the cookbook is excellent) where he is clearly excited to share techniques and knowledge. He literally sort of bounces from foot to foot like a tiger preparing to spring into action. He has had his mum on the show on several occasions and it is clear he loves and respects her. Nice to hear the story of his life which is so inspiring. Overall, a great interview!
Incredible that his kids have never lived off his businesses as such, they have all gone and done their own thing. The police and the Royal Marines, amazing! Truly shows how he is as a man and father, staying humble and making your own success.
Absolutely! He's a great storyteller and I always enjoy VO and narration in his travel and cooking series. Much like Gordon, Fred and Gino, imagine a podcast with Uncle Roger and Uncle Nick!
This has been stated a shit ton of times, but despite the many exaggerated showings of Ramsay (Practically on US versions of his shows) deep down he has a massive passion for cooking, and wants any chef he is in charge of to share that passion by taking it seriously and not half assing it. He really is treasure.
Wow SO INSPIRED by Gordon’s story ! Never knew all this about him! He gives me such hope for myself at age 60 after being a single mother raising my 4 kids alone as mom and dad to them for years and years to now having lost everything since COVID, having to restart again - I can now do so with enthusiasm and in pursuit of more for myself after watching this 🙌🏻 never to late to start again 🤞
When someone is so driven there is usually a very good reason. Gordon raised a very good reason - the segregation of pupils who have free school lunches from the rest. I remember school lunches when this practice was changed and I was at junior school - it had been going on for so long. The ' free lunches ' even had to sit on tables apart from the rest. 😢 ❤
It's a ridiculous class discrimination. The silver lining I guess if it moves u to better circumstances, but if it doesn't it can have the opposite effect. Learning self confidence is crucial.. But can be very hard to do.
One school my granddaughter went to actually fixed this problem. A child could bring a lunch from home if they chose but it wasn't necessary. Every child got free breakfast and lunch so no one knew who the poorer kids were. If they wanted breakfast they had to come early but the busses all arrived early so no one missed breakfast if they needed it. The kids who didn't ride busses had their parents bring them early. It seemed to work out great, the cafeteria even had cupcakes for a class if one had a birthday, again, since it was provided free by the school no child was left out because mom couldn't afford cupcakes. Yes, the taxes were a bit higher but it was voted for and passed by a good margin and really was only a few dollars per year extra.
This is why I am fascinated by his mentality, with out hardship and the right people pushing you ,you won't be your best an even still pushing your self to be better. Everything he said rings so true and I will keep watching all the hells kitchens to see that tonality, amazing episode 👏
Bloody fantastic. Can't get enough of Gordon. Workaholic and passionate beyond belief. Nice to hear him mention Marco. I hope they can do something together sometime soon.
Na we are well aware and have been for a while. There is like 2 whole generations of young chefs that grew up watching his shows and looking up to him.
As a businessman of 40 years - i had often seen Gordon ( via media ) as angry and bombastic. Nothing could be further from the truth. He spoke to a lot of my own struggles ( not in the kitchen by the way .. my passion for food is just for personal growth ), But that belief in your own knowledge determination and a desire to do good is a force - kudos
Lovely Gordon, I've been a fan of everything he has ever done. He inspired me to take cooking classes to make better food for my family. Eating at one of his establishments was on my bucket list but unfortunately at 77 there's no way I will ever be able to realize this and as a senior be afford it. Continued success Gordon and much happiness with your family.
Mr. Ramsay, you have done so much for many people. I am a fan of Kitchen Nightmares, I know nothing of fine dining, so it was great to watch you put everything you could into a restaurant that was run by people who didn't understand or in the case of Amy and Samy, bullheaded and self absorbed. I hope you get your own lane and do it your way.
GOD he is just so inspiring .Everything he says which is backed by what he has earned makes me look up to him for his lessons as I pave my way . I hope he does more of these..
Been such a pleasure to learn from Gordon over the years thru recipes, restaurant consults & now his success stories ... his passion for emphasizing every breath & words are UNHEARD OF
Really nice to see him as a person instead of the perfect showman. Also, good to know about his personal history and what drives him. I didn’t think of him in any particular way before, except he gets angry. He’s a wonderful guy :) 🌷🌱
One thing I love about him is how angry he gets at bosses who are cruel to their workers, or husbands who are mistreating their wives by going into massive debt without even consulting them. You can tell that his righteous anger on behalf of people who are being mistreated comes from his own history, and I just love his passion for justice.
An absolutely amazing chat with Gordon, so insightful about his high performance mindset. Been listening this for almost 2 weeks and it get better every time
Outstanding interviewer , such great questions , intelligent questions , he obviously did a huge amount of homework on Ramsay , brilliant, best interview I’ve probably ever seen and Kudos too Gordon for opening up about his life and what motivates him , I wonder why MPW turned out as such a wayward child , while Gordon’s are so grounded .
Fantastic interview Jake! As somebody who has interviewed people myself you asked all the right questions and did the MOST important thing: let them talk. I was completely enthralled with every word Gordon was saying. I can remember watching that very 1st season of Hell's Kitchen and thoroughly enjoying it, I think that's why Kitchen Nightmares was SO successful.. because it was a total departure from HK. I believe everything happens for a reason... good, bad, or indifferent I was what would have happened if he had won that 50/50 tackle... I'm sure he would have been one hell of a football player but would have deprived us for the genius that he is in the kitchen.
Brilliant interview! Gordon's story, passion and resilience has played a huge part in my journey being in hospitality for over 20 years. Starting from being on dishes at 14 and working my way up slowly to running entire kitchens. I'm now starting my own catering business as a solo mother of 3 knowing i will succeed and that my ruff upbringing will only make me try even harder.
I'm so excited for this episode! Gordon Ramsay is one of my favorite chefs and TV personalities. He has such a remarkable story and a brilliant mind. You can clearly see why he's been so successful. Driven, motivated, focused, intelligent and dedicated. He doesn't shy away from challenges and always pushes himself to the limit. I'm eager to hear his insights and advice on how to achieve greatness. This is a must-listen for anyone who loves food and life!
This has to be one the best interviews I have ever seen. Naturally I hold Chef Ramsay in the highest regard.. I put this to play in the background while I was writing a new chapter for my book.. but had to watch :) and that does not happen often. Maybe, if the book gets published.. I might be audacious enough to travel to London for some decent food^^
Gordon Ramsay is a boss. I've met him a couple of times and he was quite pleasant and accommodating. All I have to do is listen to Angela Hartnett speak about how she was treated and know he is a human. And also, "take it professionally, not personally", great advice.
Huge thank you to Gordon for opening up on life in multiple council houses, being a luncheon voucher child and his relationship with his family.
Such openness and honesty! What was your favourite moment?
I was a voucher kid too. Didn’t really think about it back then but subconsciously it must have done something for me. I’m not a high flyer but have done time in the Army, now have a career in finance and own own my own home - owning a house would have been unthinkable to me when I was at school. At 31 I should give myself a bit more credit I think.
@@FannyShmellarstop thinking about it bro just keep going
The whole of it it was a brilliant watch
"I thought you f*cker, but, you clever f*cker", brilliant advice from the Dad
No f@ck it I want to own my own lane absolute powerful message the whole show unbelievable thank you
I saw Gordon once at the airport and could see that he looked a bit stressed and likely wanted to be left alone. I decided that the nicest thing I could do if I appreciated his work was to just leave him be. Thanks Gordon, wherever you are, really appreciate you and all the skill, talent, hard work and great entertainment you've given us!
I would have said, mate you look hammered. Love your work, is there anythingI can do for you?
Heck yes! @misstigermilk You are an awesome human being! :)
@@Dazzwidd As long as you get your way, I guess it is okay to intrude on people you don't know.

In fairness, doesn't Gordon always look a bit stressed 😂
I read all of Gordon Ramseys books at about age 22yrs while battling an eating disorder. I ended up taking a catering course at my local college and it revived my trust in food. I recovered and was able to eat, cook and feed my children as a single mum. I’m 41 now and still so grateful for this man telling his story xxx
Thats incredible.
So pleased that you are now able to eat and make food and look after your kids and do a course on food well done lass 🎉
What books of his did you read, cooking books or biography type books?
May I ask what you mean by trust in your food?
Was there some sorta bad experience that occurred? Or was it like overthinking to the point of paralyzing yourself?
Cause I've been there in the overthinking department, not regarding food, but somewhat similar still.
So proud of you, Pam, holy crap that's incredible! ❤️🙏🕊
This man is nothing less than a living legend. An entertainer of the highest order. There's no one like him.
Absolutely agree with you🥳🥳he is a true legend 🎉I love to watch him in action 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've always admired and respected Gordon so much on every level, he's a Rock Star! ❤

I’ll take…..”things that never happened for $500 alex”
But was it a raw meeting!? 🤣
Great story 🙂
@@secondbest2877 Your name fits your comment... Feeling left out somehow!? Let others have their joy, huh?

Gordon is so authentic in answering questions. He also follows his own advice when his father in law told him to “ sell the Porsche “ and he sold it. That takes humility. God bless u Gordon.
And later he bought it back, amazing comeback...

Amazing!
Your comment makes me feel comfortable coming to your place! I have developed a serious aversion to restaurants after many years of bad experiences.
It is unbelievable how disgusting some kitchens can be! I did a proper Gordon and shut the kitchen down to do a proper deep clean 😂
He taught a lot of us the steps to be successful, I’ll be forever grateful
are you still in the business?
What a final gem from Gordon in the last few seconds: "Never fear a storm. Learn to dance in the rain". That hit hard ❤

Another one: Smooth seas don't make good sailors.
A favorite quote of his mentor Marco Pierre white
Pure class!
Right? I chuckled a little though because if 90% sure that was a viral MySpace copypasta
First off, the fact that this dude hasn't had a heart attack from stress is mind blowing me and my gf always watch everything he makes and sometimes I'm like dude HOW does he keep up with alllllll of this and stay genuine. He's such a SAAAAVAGE

He thrives on stress..
“You haven’t been diagnosed with a horrendous disease. You haven’t been given 6 months to live”……….That one phrase had so much power in it for me. I’ve been convincing myself that in this low spot I’m in with a medical issue immediately after retiring that I just had to accept it. This single statement by Gordon really sunk in deep so, I got up & screamed “No! this is not my lot in life to accept! Thank you Gordon & the interviewer for providing this powerful inspiring message 🙏🏼❣️
❤
What medical condition?
Actually I have. They gave me 6 months to live along with my Cancer diagnosis. I refused treatment... Chemo/radiation... I figured if I only had 6 months I wasn't going to spend it sick. I wanted to spend it having fun with my boy's who was 6&8 at the time. I remember after a year passed, I was thankful to have the extra time, after a few years passed I was very thankful.... Now after 15 years has passed I have had much time to understand many things in life. Being upset or mad at small things isn't a thing.... Big thing's aren't really that big. Life is short, God is great and enjoy what you time you have left. I'm very thankful. I still have cancer, as matter of fact they gave me a second diagnosis of cancer about 8 months ago, blood cancer this time. I do a few things for that but my boy's are all grown up now and I really am not scared to die anymore, so I am okay with it. Granted I don't want to leave but I'm not afraid to anymore. So it is what it is. I'm just glad I got to raise my boy's and teach them.
You can clearly see why he’s been so successful. Driven, motivated, focused, intelligent and dedicated to being exceptional.
Yeah I was more of a fan earlier, but I'm someone who appreaciates loyalty. And to see what he did to his mentor kinda destroyed his image, and rightfully so.
Another very important thing - father figure. So many people are having problems in their life because fathers/father figures are missing. Men need that. So much. And men are important for that hopefully people are starting to wake up and realise that we need to uplift men.
@@sweetycamycouldn’t agree more
And now the mind job of if the school doesn't have the separate lines for lunch does Gordom Ramsay as we know him even exist.
And humble
I almost didn’t click on this, but I’m glad I did.
So many people classify Gordon as a brash, rude, arrogant guy. But if you really watch him, you find that he has a huge heart. He’s just brutally honest. Believe me, you want people like that in your life!
I guess the brash, rude and arrogant is mostly the media character. And partly kitchen culture.
There are too many that cant use their common sense....its not a wonder he loses it from time to time. I would do anything to spend a year training with him but first as a waitress, that is the best way to learn the menu......being armed with that knowledge going into the kitchen is a huge part of becoming a great chef.
I guess it's boils down to "It's not what you say, but how you say it " 🤷♀️
I had always thought that and so never watched anything he was in but when I did I was genuinely surprised to find that he NEVER attacks a person without sincere love in his heart. He really, truly wants humans - all humans - to succeed and be their best. I could not stop watching for a good few months - and I don't really care about food (I cook decently and rarely eat out).
He's both
This interview is insane seeing Gordon be so down to earth and so honest is incredible it breaks down how real he is and honest he could be this man is amazing and is truly an inspiration to us all
That's how he's in a real life. All that swearing and cursing was only for show
I met him in a person and talked to him and he's very nice guy - calm, down to earth...lovely.
What really? I hope I can see him in person too.
I was at La international airport and Gordon and Tilly were trying to get the SUV and the paparazzi was just bombarding them I tried to run some interference and it helped a little bit and I got the best thing from chef Ramsay he smiled at me and winked as to say thank you. I admire the man for overcoming great difficulty.
I’m a single mom. I grew up in a house with heated up canned veggies and hamburger helper and a lot of frozen dinners. Gordon was my inspiration to cook quick and easy, but healthy meals for my son. I involve my son in the cooking process and he loves (almost) everything from chicken pineapple Thai curry to Keema to spicy beef enchiladas and loves his veggies. Thank you Gordon for being an inspiration for those of us who didn’t grow up with parents to help teach us how to cook ❤
Seeing a child eat and enjoy health nutritional food really make's me happy! Great job Mum 😊
Thanks for being self aware and accountable and saving your kid is life and setting him up for a real one and breaking the cycle and not just blame others or parents etc ... Great job! Thanks you for existing and kicking excuses in the ass !
That’s wonderful Mama❤ I’m a single mom of four teens and if I couldn’t afford restaurants I would recreate what my kids craved at home whether it was sushi,curry or fish n chips.Now I have four teens who can cook WELL ❤
I grew up with a single Mother, whom had a drug habit.... Forced me to learn how to Cook, at the age of 6. (also Watching & Helping Grandma)
Gordon Ramsay is the reason I'm a chef today
No he’s not
Sorry to hear that mate
@Mr.Lovebucket Kitchen Nightmares or Hells Kitchen wasn't my inspiration tho😂
@@craigbonfield1968huh
What's yer special dish, skin heads on a raft? (Beans on toast). 🥴.
I can't think of another Chef I have more respect for than Gordon Ramsay. Such a genuine guy and has earned his position with graft and talent.
Be a sponge, take it professionally not personally, you cannot please everyone. Thank you, Gordon!
I absolutely love chef Gordon Ramsay. He has changed my cooking game. I cook for my kids and they think they're at a restaurant. I yell at my husband if he burned something and didn't fix it right. I just turned my house upside down but it runs like a well well oiled machine😂😂😂
Gordon Ramsay's dedication, desire, and commitment for being one of the world's best restauranteurs is always the Gold Standard aspiring star chefs to follow.
He's also proven that those who came from tough and austere backgrounds can work hard to become a huge success.
Well done!!
I admire and respect Chef Ramsay. His passion is rare. His perfection ultimately was/is a sacrifice, yet a great gift to the world. I’m glad he’s slowing down and enjoying life. Blessings to Chef Ramsey and his family.
Top notch interviewer. He did the research for great questions. Gordon is the standard for today. He is a no BS person whether he’s fixing a kitchen or a small hotel/ resort. His approach to fixing things is always about compassion and education. Hell’s Kitchen he shows what standards and expectations are. He’s the same talented guy in any video he’s been involved. His advice to young people wondering about how they should proceed in life was priceless. His children are an exemplar for their successes.
Having worked in the largest commercial bakery in Canada for 20 years, all the while a fan of Gordon Ramsay, I couldnt look away from this episode. Thank you for the insights and honesty. I've been following Gordon for 20+ years, and all the while dealing with chronic health issues, from epilepsy to crohns disease, which made me turn to steadfast, resilient people like Gordon, to push through and continue to grow despite all forms of adversity. I'm in my late 30's now, and still ready to take on big challenges, and push through the pain, being truly grateful to still be able to function in the highest stress, workload environment, without any regrets. THANK YOU GORDON RAMSAY!
What a fantastic interviewer! I didn’t catch his name, but he really made Gordon open up. Ramsey showed a vulnerable side that I didn’t know he had. He is extremely eloquent and sensitive deep down.
Jake Humphries, does the high performance podcast, was a BBC presenter
@andyholt6643 Thanks for that. Being retired I can check him out!

This was exceptional what a fast hour I’ve always been a Gordon fan and his shows but hearing his life and perspective gave me a new appreciation he’s an inspiration
From being a poor kid in school to being the most famous chef in the world. I'm surprised we don't have a Gordon Ramsay movie yet.
I’m sure people have acted on the same thought, if it hasn’t happened it’s his choice not to
Most biopics are awful. I don’t blame him
Biopics are usually made when either the person is already so old or already dead. Gordon hasn't reached any of those statuses yet.
A top-tier documentary needs to be made, at the very least. One of the most inspirational people to ever live
His life itself is the movie ✨
I teach hospitality at a private University in L.A. and always show my students his videos. They love him and me too! I hope you are regenerating and come back even stronger! Blessings your way Gordon.
"Never fear the storm, learn to dance in the rain" One of the many things I took to heart from this interview. God bless him and his family.
Also most memorable: "I felt like I shit an eggroll"
@Force.mp41:02:08 is when it starts, really something and very moving
listening to this is GENUINELY inspiring. i had a similar upbringing as Gordan and for a long time i thought that was all I was destined to be. but hearing his story is living proof that no matter where you come from, you can succeed if you’re hungry enough.
This is a celebrity I genuinely really admire.
He's the real deal. If you go to the top culinary schools in the western world, 80% of students applying for the schools have Gordon Ramsay in their top 3 influences. I know this for a fact. There is no other person aside from Einstein that is held in such a high regard in their field of study. Not Elvis, Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise, Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Mark Twain, Stanley Kubrick, Quentin Tarantino, Stephen King, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Tom Brady, and I can go on and on. There is no other equal of Gordon Ramsay in any profession.
@@NatPat-yj2or Donald Trump lol? What's he doing on this list?
Agreed. Gotta respect his hard work ❤
@@BlackangelKatakurihe’s literally a former president, real estate marvel, owns brands, hotels, restaurants, and more lmao he literally rebuilt a whole state in its darkest times don’t be dense
@@Kdsburner6996he inherited his dads money and the only reason he has any money now is ripping people off, Google will tell you as much. He doesn’t pay contractors and he committed felony tax fraud in New York and was a shit President, objectively ranked by historians. Not really a great role model honestly, even considering he was found liable for sexual assault, and went bankrupt 6 times, anyone else would be considered a fuck up.
It is now not surprising to see how driven this incredible man is, knowing a bit more of his background. It made me think of my early years in education in a foreign country amongst very rich kids .. and I just thought my parents have not even got a quarter of these people's money, but I will show them - I will have to simply be the best I can be and beat them in every subject and I even beat them in their own language studies! They could not touch me any more - their money was nothing to me - I had pride and confidence. Once you have been through a tough time, you can manage anything ... so glad I watched this - incredible man, an inspiration!
What a guy. Proof of what a strong mom can do. His kids not having fallen off the wagon is the ultimate stamp of personality.
His kids not falling off the wagon? Are they even on the wagon?
Woof
Well, his brother is a drug addict. Just wanted to say that because no matter what your parents do or don't do, your life is your own responsibility.
@@craftylemon2460 He briefly mentioned his younger brother being on heroin...did he get out of it?
Kids need strong dads more than strong mums
I cried when he said, " Learn to dance in the storm." That is a phrase that could sum up my life.
Frankly most everyone's! ☕
I believe thats how i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and CFS. The sink or swim ,the pressure as a kid. The screaming get up,chores now... your adrenaline is up and down ,your cortisol levels are through the roof. We were definitely made to feel different. The separation of rich vs poor does segregate you and you have to fight to be seen. With food ,you can taste it. With woodwork you can feel if. With music you can hear it, poetry you can read it . If you want it bad enough, you'll do it. Remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease. My father was never there .We need more present fathers.
Got a lot of respect for this bloke. He talks with his heart!
What a story. What a man. I always admired his craft, and now I am a huge fan. He deserves every success he has achieved and more.
GR is fascinating to listen to, what a life he's made for himself with the cards he was dealt. A true British legend!
He's Scottish. Watch for him using Scot profanity, saying "holy mackerel".
Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales
@@krys2471 That's easy to say, but Scotland is an ancient country, with Wales, long before England existed, after it was the Roman Empire.
@@johnwattdotcaAs if England simply popped into existence lmao.
@@alalalala57 There was no England. Northern islanders lived up north, and below was The Roman Empire and then The Holy Roman Empire. If you want to find out what was a real dividing line, look up Hadrians' Wall, across the island, built by Emperor Hadrian. Scots invented the first encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia Britannica, the first English dictionary, The Merriam-Webster, and the King James Holy Bible in English. The Holy Bible was published to start wars in Europe, the people rising up against the armies of the bishops of the pope in Rome. Scots say Hadrians' Wall fell without a drop of Scottish blood being shed.
I'm so glad I came across this. I'm almost Gordon's age and learnt very similar lessons along the way, just driven. Not to succeed but just driven. Raised my family while learning what I needed to and currently working with my 'Piere' as I'm typing this. All the things he's mentioned along the lines of..sell your fucken Porsche, banks won't touch you etc, no one sees this, no one imparts this which I think is important because the journey your in can be isolating because it's your dream. Thank you Gordon for imparting these tidbits and insights. I've tried to raise my kids to chase there dreams, fail big and often, support one another but don't chase the money and accolades as they are fleeting. Oh and a final note, I'm a no nonsense person always have been. It can be lonely...but worth it as life for me is drama free and I have more focus..❤ Brilliant interview and great leading questions!! Loved this
Could listen to Gordon all day
Me too
Shit. People like Gordon are just amazing. There really are different tiers of people in life. The people like Gordon who grab life by the balls and make it work for them or bust and then the people like me who is just happy with the easy route or the path of least resistence. I just sit in awe to these people as I just simply so not have the same drive and ambition they have. Absolute Legend.
They are alphas. We're betas. :)
Am so happy to have worked with Gordon’s production team on one of his uncharted episode. Coolest guy to work with and I have the highest respect for him! his story is amazing and inspiring 🙌🏼
i'm a nosy production person... no pressure, but would you mind telling me what your role was and what episode you worked on? and if it was fun?
What an amazing story teller..the way he puts his story across truly inspiring..
Gordon is a fascinating man. I've learned so much from him. Literally the most interesting man on TV.
Have you seen him in a tux playing Bach on a grand piano?
@@johnwattdotca I did dicknose
I was in the pub every day of my life after work.
Started getting into watching Gordon Ramsey and he made me want to cook. The reason I now come home from work is to cook for my kids. He will never know how much he helped me be a better person and dad
Gordon has incredible analytical skills. Watching his series for several months, his accessesment of situations is amazing. Truly appreciate him. He's a blessing in so many people's lives❤especially for his kids and wife. Inspirational and so kind, he's all heart and soul.
Gordon is definitely why I'm a Chef, but, hearing his backstop makes me appreciate him even more. Cause he's just a normal person, whose gone through some of the same horseshit some of us have gone through. He's a beautiful person and a amazing chef.
Yeah I think as a younger man he rebelled. I know yrs ago he almost lost his wife. He's taken the crashes he's gone through and chosen to grow. His mum has taught him too,but he bounced back and those 6 children of his has changed his heart.
Gordan is someone to look up too. He's put in the hard work, soaked up everything he has learned through the years & used it to better his life in such a great way. Really great interview 🫶
This was one of the best things iv watched in a while. The grit and determination Gordon has got to get where he is today is inspirational. What a man he is - great interview
All he had to do was sell his Porsche 🤣
Thanks for interviewing this Legend Gordon!!! Greetings from Hong Kong and watch all of your episodes!!! Gordon is a golden asset for this world, regardless the "rude" languages that we all sometimes need and just be sooooo real!!
To begin with, what a great interviewer. He listens intently to every answer and builds on that answer with the next question, then he sums up now and again with the points Gordon has made to move on to the next aspect of the interview. He is also really enjoying listening to Gordon as well. I love Gordon’s how that is based in his own kitchen with his kids helping him out. When his kids are chopping things for example, you can see that he is terrified that they will slice themselves, dad in action. His best show is his ultimate cookery course (the cookbook is excellent) where he is clearly excited to share techniques and knowledge. He literally sort of bounces from foot to foot like a tiger preparing to spring into action. He has had his mum on the show on several occasions and it is clear he loves and respects her. Nice to hear the story of his life which is so inspiring. Overall, a great interview!
Incredible that his kids have never lived off his businesses as such, they have all gone and done their own thing. The police and the Royal Marines, amazing! Truly shows how he is as a man and father, staying humble and making your own success.
haven't really seen Ramsay on any pocasts,but after listening to this,he really needs to do more absolutely loved it!!
Proper bloke 👏
His narrates his autobiography on audible - its great listening !
I agree
Absolutely! He's a great storyteller and I always enjoy VO and narration in his travel and cooking series. Much like Gordon, Fred and Gino, imagine a podcast with Uncle Roger and Uncle Nick!
This has been stated a shit ton of times, but despite the many exaggerated showings of Ramsay (Practically on US versions of his shows) deep down he has a massive passion for cooking, and wants any chef he is in charge of to share that passion by taking it seriously and not half assing it. He really is treasure.
He knew his character. But...Drill Sargents do what they do for a reason......
I really enjoy Gordon's story ! I'm a Carpenter and I totally understand this whole interview on a deep level! Thanks Gordon
An amazingly hard working man. He deserves everything he's got, because he's worked so hard
Wow SO INSPIRED by Gordon’s story ! Never knew all this about him! He gives me such hope for myself at age 60 after being a single mother raising my 4 kids alone as mom and dad to them for years and years to now having lost everything since COVID, having to restart again - I can now do so with enthusiasm and in pursuit of more for myself after watching this 🙌🏻 never to late to start again 🤞
I'm in a similar situation and you are inspiring to me
Wow! I could swear this comment was about me, it’s hard starting over, but we can do it!! Best of luck to you 😊
I’ve been cooking professionally for 16 years and I feel like I’ve been waiting for an interview like this for that long
I admire Gordon Ramsay. He exudes discipline and perseverance. Without discipline , there is no success.
And humility. He had the mind of a lifelong student so he’s always growing and improving.
Without discipline, there is no success. True fact my guy.
@@Window4503 A true master is an eternal student. - Master Yi / Anonymous
When someone is so driven there is usually a very good reason. Gordon raised a very good reason - the segregation of pupils who have free school lunches from the rest. I remember school lunches when this practice was changed and I was at junior school - it had been going on for so long. The ' free lunches ' even had to sit on tables apart from the rest. 😢 ❤
what a cruelly disgusting discriminatory practice - who thought that was the right way to do things? 😡
It's a ridiculous class discrimination.
The silver lining I guess if it moves u to better circumstances, but if it doesn't it can have the opposite effect. Learning self confidence is crucial.. But can be very hard to do.
One school my granddaughter went to actually fixed this problem. A child could bring a lunch from home if they chose but it wasn't necessary. Every child got free breakfast and lunch so no one knew who the poorer kids were. If they wanted breakfast they had to come early but the busses all arrived early so no one missed breakfast if they needed it. The kids who didn't ride busses had their parents bring them early. It seemed to work out great, the cafeteria even had cupcakes for a class if one had a birthday, again, since it was provided free by the school no child was left out because mom couldn't afford cupcakes. Yes, the taxes were a bit higher but it was voted for and passed by a good margin and really was only a few dollars per year extra.
I watch every show Gordon is on! I hope to meet him 1 day!❤
This is why I am fascinated by his mentality, with out hardship and the right people pushing you ,you won't be your best an even still pushing your self to be better. Everything he said rings so true and I will keep watching all the hells kitchens to see that tonality, amazing episode 👏
He is such an inspirational personality. Our whole family love to watch his shows
Bloody fantastic. Can't get enough of Gordon. Workaholic and passionate beyond belief. Nice to hear him mention Marco. I hope they can do something together sometime soon.
"Never fear a storm, learn to dance in the rain." Love it
I think Gordon is one of those people that we wont know his impact until hes gone. Thank you chef
schloooooooooooorrrrrrp
that's the sound of you sucking his ring piece
Na we are well aware and have been for a while. There is like 2 whole generations of young chefs that grew up watching his shows and looking up to him.
@@Huckle777 I 100% agree
Just like tony bourdain
Him and Anthony Bourdain are two of my favorite people. Love those guy’s
I absolutely enjoyed listening to a very open & frank Interview with Gordon Ramsey, what a legend.
As a businessman of 40 years - i had often seen Gordon ( via media ) as angry and bombastic. Nothing could be further from the truth. He spoke to a lot of my own struggles ( not in the kitchen by the way .. my passion for food is just for personal growth ), But that belief in your own knowledge determination and a desire to do good is a force - kudos
Lovely Gordon, I've been a fan of everything he has ever done. He inspired me to take cooking classes to make better food for my family. Eating at one of his establishments was on my bucket list but unfortunately at 77 there's no way I will ever be able to realize this and as a senior be afford it. Continued success Gordon and much happiness with your family.
How close is his nearest restaurant? Maybe you could find a way if you got some help to get there and some donations.
It's on my bucket list too!
Mr. Ramsay, you have done so much for many people. I am a fan of Kitchen Nightmares, I know nothing of fine dining, so it was great to watch you put everything you could into a restaurant that was run by people who didn't understand or in the case of Amy and Samy, bullheaded and self absorbed. I hope you get your own lane and do it your way.
I love how he holds his work to high standards and expects the same from others. Always striving to be better. I appreciate that about him.
I respect Gordon's respect for others being part of his climb to success
GOD he is just so inspiring .Everything he says which is backed by what he has earned makes me look up to him for his lessons as I pave my way . I hope he does more of these..
This man has inspired me for 15 years, and he continues to inspire.
I love watching him on TV. I am not a chef however his work ethic inspires me and I take that on board with me. He is someone I look up to.
Been such a pleasure to learn from Gordon over the years thru recipes, restaurant consults & now his success stories ... his passion for emphasizing every breath & words are UNHEARD OF
We Love and Appreciate you Chef Ramsey. You are already 3 STARS that have helped so many in the Industry. GratefulG
Gordon's children are a credit to him. Great conversation. Well done Gordon.
Really nice to see him as a person instead of the perfect showman. Also, good to know about his personal history and what drives him. I didn’t think of him in any particular way before, except he gets angry. He’s a wonderful guy :) 🌷🌱
One thing I love about him is how angry he gets at bosses who are cruel to their workers, or husbands who are mistreating their wives by going into massive debt without even consulting them. You can tell that his righteous anger on behalf of people who are being mistreated comes from his own history, and I just love his passion for justice.
One of my favorite interviews of the last many years. Thank you Gordon for being so open and honest.
An absolutely amazing chat with Gordon, so insightful about his high performance mindset. Been listening this for almost 2 weeks and it get better every time
Outstanding interviewer , such great questions , intelligent questions , he obviously did a huge amount of homework on Ramsay , brilliant, best interview I’ve probably ever seen and Kudos too Gordon for opening up about his life and what motivates him , I wonder why MPW turned out as such a wayward child , while Gordon’s are so grounded .
Gordons mom and gordons wife. Steady, present, honest, grounded, good examples and? Tons of love expressed openly.
1:02:08 - 1:02:26
That’s one of the most inspirational sentences I think I’ve ever heard.
Thank you Gordon.
Excellent interview!

Never seen Gordon like this! This was a fantastic listen! He’s a legend
Love every damn show he has ugh he's amazing
Fantastic interview Jake! As somebody who has interviewed people myself you asked all the right questions and did the MOST important thing: let them talk. I was completely enthralled with every word Gordon was saying. I can remember watching that very 1st season of Hell's Kitchen and thoroughly enjoying it, I think that's why Kitchen Nightmares was SO successful.. because it was a total departure from HK. I believe everything happens for a reason... good, bad, or indifferent I was what would have happened if he had won that 50/50 tackle... I'm sure he would have been one hell of a football player but would have deprived us for the genius that he is in the kitchen.
His story is amazing to me. He always been one of my favorite chefs.
Absolutely love this!! Always admired Ramsay and now to hear his story in his own words… I’m an even bigger fan!! 👏🏻
Brilliant interview!
Gordon's story, passion and resilience has played a huge part in my journey being in hospitality for over 20 years.
Starting from being on dishes at 14 and working my way up slowly to running entire kitchens.
I'm now starting my own catering business as a solo mother of 3 knowing i will succeed and that my ruff upbringing will only make me try even harder.
The Interviewer deserves a trophy. Gordon says so much true and valuable things. Tremendous interview and in my Top 3 for 2024 🎉
I'm so excited for this episode! Gordon Ramsay is one of my favorite chefs and TV personalities. He has such a remarkable story and a brilliant mind. You can clearly see why he's been so successful. Driven, motivated, focused, intelligent and dedicated. He doesn't shy away from challenges and always pushes himself to the limit. I'm eager to hear his insights and advice on how to achieve greatness. This is a must-listen for anyone who loves food and life!
huge respect for this interview, literally one of the best I've listened / watched.
Gordon Ramsay is the only chef I listen to. I love his brutal honesty and his drive.
Have loved Gordon Ramsey for more than 20 years. What an excellent interview.
What a powerful message. Fantastic interview all around. Thank you.
Gordon is an inspiration I am recommending that my daughters watch this!! Amazing man!!
Most amazing GR Interview I’ve seen, I’m glad he got comfortable enough to share his skills. Everyone in any industry should see this.
This has to be one the best interviews I have ever seen. Naturally I hold Chef Ramsay in the highest regard.. I put this to play in the background while I was writing a new chapter for my book.. but had to watch :) and that does not happen often. Maybe, if the book gets published.. I might be audacious enough to travel to London for some decent food^^
Gordon Ramsay is a boss. I've met him a couple of times and he was quite pleasant and accommodating. All I have to do is listen to Angela Hartnett speak about how she was treated and know he is a human. And also, "take it professionally, not personally", great advice.
