By Matt Richardson:Growing up in Tower Hamlets, the second poorest borough of London, Sabirul Islam distanced himself from the crime, drugs and violence that surrounded him.
Instead, at the age of 14, he set up his own company Veyron Technologies and approached companies such as Merrill Lynch for work.
At the age of 16 he was invited by the finance company to learn how to trade stocks in New York.
As he discusses his dream to inspire 1 million young people across the world, he enthuses: “Young people need people to look up to, not celebrities, but people who have gotten out of the hole that they themselves are in."
As RedShift Radio celebrates inspiration and regeneration we met up with Sabirul.
