Join us for a powerful and deeply personal conversation with Terry Jervis, a trailblazing British media producer, entrepreneur, and former BBC executive whose decades-long career has shaped the landscape of entertainment in the UK and beyond.

From humble beginnings in Hackney, East London, to working with global icons like Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Elton John, Terry’s story is a testament to vision, perseverance, and reinvention. Starting as a passionate filmmaker with dreams of starting his own company, Terry caught the eye of Channel 4 with a self-produced film about Sam Cooke — and the rest is history.

In this honest and uplifting episode, Terry opens up about his early challenges growing up in a single-parent household, how he became one of the youngest to lead a department at the BBC, and what he learned from building critically acclaimed shows like The Real McCoy and Behind the Beat. He also shares reflections on the values that have guided his journey — from honoring the legacy of Black culture and history, to creating space for underrepresented voices in the media industry.
