If you’ve landed here, you’re probably trying to figure out who I am and why you should listen to anything I say about money. But before I reel off a list of podcast and YouTube accomplishments, it’s worth saying upfront: none of this came from being naturally good with money.
I didn’t grow up with it, I didn’t understand it, and I definitely didn’t slide into adulthood knowing how to build financial security.
I grew up in inner-city Birmingham with a single mum, and I was always very aware we had absolutely no money. Not in a tragic tiny-violin way, just in a very normal, very obvious way.
I wanted to change that, but as it turns out, there’s no formal education in “how not to be skint”. So like most people, I guessed.
And if you’re wondering how that went… not brilliantly.
In my 20s, I racked up a horrendous amount of debt and had to dig myself out of it.
Honestly, that taught me more about money than anything else ever could. And once I’d done that, I thought… if I can learn how to get out of debt, I can probably learn how to build something better too.
That’s basically why I do what I do now.
I look around and see a finance world that seems almost allergic to being clear. Expert advice that makes normal people feel like they’re failing just because they don’t speak fluent spreadsheet.
What I want is simple: to help people like me.
I genuinely believe that with the right education and a bit of determination, anyone can improve their financial position. Not overnight, and not through some crypto loophole, just by understanding the basics and sticking with it.
If you’re feeling behind, overwhelmed, or like you’ve messed things up, I’m here to tell you: you can do this.
