This is Revolving Door Syndrome, and I am Dr Nina Su.
Everywhere you look, the statistics tell a story of Maori doing worse. Of Maori struggling, of Maori poverty.
While these statistics are true, it fails to tell the whole story. On this episode of Revolving Door Syndrome, I sat down with Boris Sokratov AKA the Bulgarian Maori to talk about how we can shift the narrative.
Much of the conversation perpetuates low expectations and reinforces dependency when in reality there is plenty for Maori to be proud of. Not only do we need to build a society where every child can succeed regardless of class, colour or creed, we need to have expectations that every child will succeed.
Recently, Boris was diagnosed with a rare neuroendocrine cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. He shares with me his thoughts on life's purpose and the value of service to others.
Boris came from humble beginnings but has become a serial businessman as well as being a driving force for social good with setting up I Am Hope, Brown Buttabean Motivation and The Nutter's Club Radio show. He assures me that he won't let cancer get in the way of achieving his goals, it's just sped up his timeline a little.
