What does the first black person to win Mastermind, the world’s first Chaser, an honorary doctor of law, a practising barrister and a published author all have in common?

They are, in fact, all accolades belonging to Shaun Wallace.

Growing up in London, Shaun faced low expectations from teachers who didn't think he could become a lawyer.

Shaun not only achieved a law degree, but became a practising barrister while also appearing on quiz shows to challenge himself - a testament to his tenacity.

For the first-ever episode of The U-Triumph Podcast, Shaun was generous enough to share all the details on his journey to becoming a barrister and The Dark Destroyer, plus why he is so passionate about using his platform to inspire others and be the ladder for future generations.
