In this powerful episode of The Urbane Bloke Podcast, we sit down with Jerry, a Nigerian trailblazer who arrived in the UK with just £500 and a dream. Against all odds, Jerry funded his £39,000 law degree, juggled work and studies, and graduated top of his class with a First-Class degree. From wrestling with cultural shock as an introvert to navigating the competitive UK legal field as an immigrant, Jerry’s story is a masterclass in resilience, self-belief, and grit. We dive into the emotional toll of starting anew, the sacrifices he made, and the mindset that kept him anchored through it all. Jerry also shares raw insights on skilled worker visas, self-advocacy, and the one book that transformed his perspective as a man. Plus, we unpack his ultimate survival kit for anyone chasing their dreams abroad. This episode is a must-watch for anyone needing a dose of inspiration to push through tough times and prioritize self-worth.
