Chris Katelaris, known online as Big Chocky, brings a perspective you don’t hear often.

Adopted from Colombia at just two months old by a Greek-Cypriot Australian family, Chris has a deep love for Australia and grew up navigating questions of identity, belonging, and purpose. That lived experience now sits at the centre of why his content is striking a nerve with so many Australians.

In this conversation, we cover:
- Growing up adopted and the search for identity
- Personal setbacks and the moments that changed his trajectory
- Australia’s deeper problems and why he reckons we’re falling short as a society
- The role of faith and belief in shaping his values
- Building discipline and mental resilience
- Gaining influence through social media and what comes with it
- Handling controversy, criticism, and public scrutiny
- Responsibility, leadership, and personal accountability
