“At nine I wanted to be a forensic pathologist. At ten I wanted to be a vet. At eleven an astronaut. At twelve I wanted to be the most notorious gang member in London.”
Metamorphosis: The Butterfly Effect is a collection of poetry born from pressures, pains and the urgency for change by a young man in his early twenties. Over a decade later they are published for the first time and include his current reflections and observations through a series of endnotes.
As a campaigner, Karl has spent the past decade of his life advocating for a fairer and more inclusive business ecosystem. Karl offers consultancy and advisory to high profile individuals, decision makers and corporates. His philanthropic efforts have helped raise millions for charities in the UK.
“Metamorphosis: The Butterfly Effect is a masterpiece of truth-telling. Karl doesn’t hide behind metaphor; he uses it to reveal what is real. His words strip away our armour and exposes the tenderness beneath the toughness, a rare poetry that holds both beauty and bruise.”
