Hakeem “Uncle” Bryan is more than just a content creator; he’s a movement.

In this episode, we sit down with the creative force behind Uncle Tries, one of the most beloved digital series out of Jamaica. Known for spotlighting small businesses and telling authentic Jamaican stories with humour and heart, Uncle opens up about the man behind the mic.

From growing up in a single-parent home and navigating poverty, to discovering storytelling through books and building a high-quality media brand from the ground up, this conversation goes far deeper than the highlight reel.

Hear how Uncle:

• Turned a high school nickname into a powerful brand
• Uses storytelling as a tool for healing and heritage
• Resists viral trends in favour of community-driven content
• Balances visibility and vulnerability as a public figure
• Hopes to one day take Uncle Tries to Netflix

Listen until the end for mentorship gems, legacy reflections, and a few curveball moments that might just surprise you.
