Some lives can’t be summed up on a business card.

This week, Stephen Akinsanya sits down with Floyd Steadman OBE DL for the next episode of Life in Focus.

A child of the Windrush generation, raised in the care system. Captain of Saracens. Headmaster at prep schools across London and Surrey. And in just the past three years: an OBE, a Deputy Lieutenancy for Cornwall, and an honorary doctorate from Brunel University.

But titles aren’t what make Floyd remarkable. It’s what he carries, and how he carries it.

Learn about compassionate leadership. And about the first words he would offer a fifteen-year-old who’s stopped believing the future belongs to him.

Stephen Akinsanya sits down with two men whose lives tell powerful stories from very different paths.
Orefo Orakwue recognised his musical gift early and dedicated himself to refining his craft until it began to open doors.
Godfrey Poku, on the other hand, walked out of incarceration and rebuilt his life, forging a career in consultancy with the Health and Justice Learning Hub (HJLH). His journey is a testament that what’s within you is far greater than what’s behind you.
One nurtured a gift he always knew he had. The other discovered his after life had nearly convinced him there was nothing left. Yet both arrived at the same destination.

To every young person: your gift will make room for you.
