#52 The art of the hustle and grind: Behind the influencer of Aussie hip-hop: Hau Latukefu

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

Ross Coulthart is one of Australia’s most prominent investigative journalists, known most recently for his fearless reporting on unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs) or UFOs.

He joins the podcast to discuss his career uncovering hard truths, the role of curiosity in journalism, declining trust in governments and media, and his deep investigations into UAPs, military encounters with unidentified objects, government secrecy, non-human intelligence, consciousness, and the growing intersection between science, spirituality, and ancient civilisations.
