Episode One Featuring Shaun Wallace: Chaser, Mastermind Champion and Practicing Barrister
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.

Episode Three Featuring Amandeep Khasriya: Partner, Major Trauma at Moore Barlow, EDI Champion, Chair of Women Solicitors Network and Law Advisory Board member
Ready to be inspired an incredible leader who defied the odds?
I recently sat down with Amandeep Khasriya, who is not only a colleague and friend - but someone who has been on a remarkable journey to overcome intersectional challenges and achieve remarkable success in her field.
Partner at top 100 law firm Moore Barlow, Amandeep is also an EDI champion, Chair of Women Solicitors Network, Law Advisory Board member, Brummel Magazine's Top 30 London female trailblazers 2022 and more - Amandeep has an impressive roster of roles and accolades that demonstrate her commitment to continuously push herself forward.
During our conversation, Amandeep graciously shared her lived experiences; as a woman, a mother, as someone who comes from a working-class and Indian background. For me, this episode is both inspirational to those who may relate and insightful to those who may not.
Together, we tackled crucial themes like:
💡Diversity & Inclusion: How essential representation and inclusive work environments are for unlocking the potential of marginalised groups.
💡Social Mobility: Breaking through class and immigrant background barriers to reach your full potential
💡Gender & Identity: Navigating traditional expectations and forging your own path as a successful woman.
💡Work-Life Balance: Honing your ambition while nurturing your family
💡Resilience & Grit: Turning setbacks into fuel for determination and self-created opportunities
💡Community Impact: Leveraging success to empower and support others on similar journeys
A massive thank you to Amandeep for generously speaking about her experiences, to help be the ladder.
