This Sustainable Life: Untethered

27. "It is what it is": A conversation with ex-convict Tom - Part 1


Listen Later

How many times have you ever taken a chance and gone, “well, what’s the worst that could happen?” Most times, the worst never happens but for our guest, Tom, the worst, unfortunately, did happen and he was convicted of assault and drug offences and spent five years in prison. I wanted to find out what his experience was like and how did he cope when faced with such difficulty.

In our conversation, Tom explains how he got into the drug scene, what happened when he got arrested and what goes on in prison behind locked doors. We also talk about the environment and Tom sets his personal challenge in line with his environmental values.

Please note, this episode contains explicit language and mentions drugs and violence so may not be suitable for more sensitive ears.

I loved this conversation, it was both mind-opening and heart-opening. I really hope you enjoy it too.
