    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!

    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

    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.

    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 🙂

(bonus, super nosy question: how much time does your wife really get to spend with you?)

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!

      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.

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.

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.

      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.

They could not touch me any more - their money was nothing to me - I had pride and confidence.

    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!!

    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!

      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.

    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.
