In Episode 31, I sit down with Elliot Ikilei from Hobson’s Pledge for a no-holds-barred conversation that dives deep into his wild journey, from a turbulent upbringing bouncing between solo-parent homes, to battling drugs and alcohol in his teens and finding redemption through faith at 25. Elliot opens up about how his experiences in youth work shattered his left-leaning views, leading him to champion family structures as the key to fixing societal issues. We talk about the failures of policies like the DPB, the rise of independent media and why he joined Hobson’s Pledge to fight for true equality – not division based on race.
