This episode is absolute treat! Michael Emmett is a charming and charismatic speaker with a life story so packed with excitement and tragedy, it's quite unbelievable that he is still here to tell the tale. 
Michael was involved in organised crime and was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being caught smuggling 13 million pounds of cannabis. It was during his prison sentence that Michael found faith and spirituality and, with the help of the 12 step program, has now reformed and is on a mission to help others.
It was a great honour to speak to Michael. His voice is magnificent and he speaks very honestly about his chaotic psyche and mental health issues.
We know that all will enjoy this episode and love Michael.
We strongly recommend Michael's book, Sins of Fathers, it is a captivating read from start to finish.
