In the inaugural episode of the U-Triumph Podcast Season 2, I had the privilege of sitting down with Gavin Allen. From his early days as a trainee at the BBC to his role as Global Executive Editor-in-Chief at Huawei, Gavin’s career is a powerful example of resilience, optimism, and the importance of lifting others as you climb.

During our conversation, I was particularly inspired by Gavin’s belief in using his platform to create opportunities for others. It’s a mindset I deeply admire and one that reflects the heart of the Be the Ladder philosophy.

Here are a few highlights from our conversation:

🌍 Resilience and the importance of staying positive through challenges
📚 The role of diverse storytelling in shaping media and society
🖋️ Navigating high-pressure moments with integrity and accuracy

Gavin also shares personal insights on the significance of representation in the media, diversity in the workplace, and the transformative power of technology - topics that feel more relevant than ever.
