From Grit to Glory is more than a memoir — it’s a blueprint for overcoming adversity, unlocking your potential, and transforming pain into purpose.

Born in the tough inner-city community of Shaolin, Jamaica, Garold Hamilton grew up hustling in the streets of Sav-la-Mar, selling bag juice and box drinks to survive. With no silver spoon or safety net, his early life was defined by hardship, struggle, and uncertainty. But what he lacked in privilege, he made up for in grit, faith, and an unshakable determination to rewrite his future.

This powerful book takes readers on a journey from Garold’s humble beginnings to his rise as a senior executive in one of the world’s top engineering and infrastructure firms. Along the way, you’ll walk with him through:

• His near-death experience in a motorbike accident that shifted his mindset
• The emotional rollercoaster of being nearly denied entry to university — until his mother’s determination broke down doors
• Struggles with racism and rejection as a Black professional navigating London’s cold streets and corporate barriers
• His relentless pursuit of excellence that took him from drafting tables to the C-suite
• Lessons learned from mentors, mistakes, and the unspoken rules of leadership

You’ll also get a deeply personal look into the principles that shaped Garold’s life — including faith, family, integrity, and servant leadership. Each chapter offers not only a window into his world, but also a mirror into your own potential.

Whether you’re a young professional seeking direction, an entrepreneur chasing your dream, or someone fighting to rise above your circumstances, From Grit to Glory will inspire you to push through, level up, and believe that your story isn’t over — it’s just getting started.
