This podcast is the story of Anthony, starting his criminal life as a young innocent boy that was persuaded to climb through bathroom windows and open front doors for his older mates to break into houses. He was too small to reach the handle and had to stand on phone books. The lollies he earned made it worth it…
Anthony soon realised he was entering the criminal world, finding the money he could make in dealing drugs would help him support family and friends.
He was lucky enough to avoid prison though applying the code his mother taught him when he was young, but did have his fair share of visits to the watchhouse.
Anthony’s life changed when he suffered a horrific accident that he should not have survived, leaving him with a brain and spinal injury.
This being only a fraction of the trauma Anthony has experienced, having lost his mum, lost his kids, experienced addiction and homelessness, and now he wants to help others…
