Up until the age of 11, I couldn’t read or write properly. My upbringing wasn’t stable. I moved around a lot, and school wasn’t always a priority because survival came first. On top of that, I had a stammer, and I struggled to speak with confidence. I didn’t feel seen or heard, and deep down, I started to believe I wasn’t good enough. But something inside me refused to accept that as my truth. I became obsessed with learning — not just books, but business, mindset, people. I knew knowledge would be my freedom. Over the years, I worked relentlessly to transform myself. That same kid who couldn’t speak without stuttering is now a man who has raised over £8 million across multiple platforms — including £1.3M for my own tech company. I didn’t just find confidence — I built it. And now, I help others do the same. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that your start doesn’t define your future it’s your decisions that do.
