Overview

Over 6 years ago, I commanded over £250,000 in annual fees as an international materials engineer, flying business class between continents. Last year, I delivered pizzas and worked as a labourer in Surrey to keep the lights on. This is the story of what happens when life takes everything you thought defined you-and reveals who you really are. From a toxic workplace in Swindon to the boardrooms of Schlumberger/ BP/ BHGE/ Qatar Petroleum, Totalenergies and Chevron, from near-death on a Lagos motorway to the lecture halls of Bayes Business School, this memoir traces an extraordinary journey through complete destruction and unexpected rebuilding. When HMRC seized my last £80,000 due to an accountant's negligence, when an accident left me with titanium plates holding my face together, when seven years of rejection letters arrived despite two engineering degrees-I discovered that sometimes falling from the heights is the only way to learn who shows up at the bottom. This isn't just another riches-to-rags story. It's about the Muslim friend in Doha who reminded a lapsed Christian to pray. It's about the gang-hardened-looking stranger who looked like he might rob you but instead saved a life. It's about a son who wasn't embarrassed when his father delivered pizza to survive. It's about discovering that a materials engineer who spent decades preventing rust in pipelines couldn't prevent the corrosion in his own life-until he changed the environment completely. Readers will discover: How poverty colonises your mind, making you penny-wise but pound-foolish Why your closest friends might disappear while strangers become your saviours How an MBA at fifty can rewire not just your career but your entire worldview Why losing everything might be the only way to find what actually matters How faith transcends religious boundaries when you need it most Written with unflinching honesty by someone who has occupied boardrooms and benefits offices, commanded six-figure fees and delivered fast food, this memoir offers hope to anyone facing their own reversals. Because that's life-it doesn't follow our plans, but sometimes the chapter you never wanted to write becomes the one that saves you.
