Meggan Roxanne, the founder of The Good Quote, grew her staggering 24.3million followers online by posting online every single hour, of every single day, for years. Propelling the careers of Jay Shetty, Steven Bartlett and more, Meggan launched The Good Quote (previously Kush and Wizdom) during a deep depression.
Years later, after battles with depression, Meggan received life changing news when her mother was given a terminal diagnosis, something that made her stop everything to care for her. A hugely defining experience, she shares with Jamie, the full rollercoaster, from her mother coming over as part of the Windrush generation, the obstacles she overcame and the opportunities she gave Meggan.
This episode is deeply touching and incredibly inspiring, moving even Jamie to tears.
