In this episode, I share the personal journey behind The Money Sergeant® — from losing my grandmother at 20 with nothing to my name, to sweeping compounds in Uganda to fund my ACCA accountancy studies, to building a life in the UK as a Chartered Accountant and frontline Social Worker.

What we cover:

• Why grief and poverty arriving simultaneously changes a person
• The moment I realised no one was coming to rescue me
• How I funded my accountancy qualification as a shamba boy
• What working in child protection taught me about financial pressure and family stability
• Why I built The Financial Command Centre

Key quote: "I didn't come from money. I came from a decision."
