What do professional MMA, Early Childhood Development, and raising stronger children have in common?
In this inspiring South African conversation, we sit down with Jordan Vandayar and Mohammad "Fudog" Yaseen Adams to explore two incredible journeys built on passion, discipline, and purpose.
Yaseen shares how boxing at just 12 years old helped him transform his life before discovering MMA, eventually fighting professionally in the EFC while training alongside some of South Africa's top fighters. He opens up about finding confidence through martial arts, and why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the best sports for developing humility, discipline, and self-defence.
Jordan takes us through her journey from provincial dancing and modelling to founding Jorvan Preschool, where she's helping shape the next generation through intentional Early Childhood Development. Together, we unpack why ECD matters, the difference between a crèche and a quality prepschool, and why children today need more attention, patience, and meaningful connection than ever before.
We also dive into:
• How social media and hyperstimulation are changing childhood
• The teachers who changed their lives forever
• How Jordan and Yaseen first met
• Behind the scenes of life as a professional fighter and the loved ones who support them
• The mindset of stepping into the cage
• Why "touching grass" might be one of the healthiest things we can do today
• The story behind Yaseen's nickname "Fudog" and his meaningful tattoo
• Our favourite fighting movies
Whether you're passionate about education, parenting, martial arts, or simply love hearing authentic South African stories, this episode is packed with valuable lessons about resilience, purpose, relationships, and community.
