Shaka Hislop joins us for one of the most powerful conversations we’ve ever had.

From representing Trinidad & Tobago at the 2006 FIFA World Cup to building a career at the highest levels of English football and broadcasting, Shaka reflects on legacy, pressure, and purpose.

But this episode goes deeper.

Shaka opens up about his prostate cancer diagnosis, the reality of having no symptoms, and how a routine test may have saved his life. He shares the emotional challenge of telling his children, the mindset he adopted to fight, and why more Caribbean men need to take their health seriously.

We also get into:

• His response to the Trinidad & Tobago FA President’s comments on Dwight Yorke
• The realities behind World Cup qualification
• Life in the Premier League and the pressure of elite football
• Parenting, identity, and representing Trinidad & Tobago on the world stage

This is a conversation about football — but more importantly, it’s about life.
