In this Tales to Inspire Bitesize conversation, Krish Patel sits down with youth leader Daniel Sukula to explore some of the real challenges facing young people today. Drawing on his frontline experience working with young people in communities across the North West, Daniel speaks openly about the impact of the cost of living crisis, the growing need for positive role models, and the barriers that still exist around mental health conversations in some communities. The conversation also touches on deeper issues around youth safety, knife crime, and the lack of opportunities for young people to feel supported, heard, and inspired. Despite these challenges, Daniel shares a powerful message of responsibility and hope. Through community leadership and lived experience, he is committed to becoming the role model he wishes he had growing up, helping young people see what is possible for their own futures. This episode is a reminder that supporting the next generation is not just the responsibility of young people themselves, but of all of us — communities, organisations, schools, and society as a whole. If we want a better future, we must invest in the young people who will shape it.
