We're back with another amazing guest and incredible story. This week I sit down with ex professional footballer Jamie Lawrence. His journey is remarkable for many reasons, but one of the main takeaways for me was there is no substitute for HARD WORK. From pursuing his dream of becoming a professional footballer and playing in the premier league. To being sentenced twice and having multiple set backs on the road to achieving his dreams.
We discuss everything from his strict, disciplined and loving up bring being raised by Jamaican parents. To the start of his footballing journey where his lucky break came from the most unexpected places, prison. Jamie opens up about what landed him in prison, always being different and thinking as an individual as well as his work ethic and mindset which played a huge role in him turning his life around.
Jamie has his book out appropriately titled From Prison To The Premier League. He brings elements of his book to life in our conversation which is definitely one for the culture. A great listen and with an impressive man who throughout all the adversity always works to bring others along.
