Mistakes Don’t Define Us

When David, a privately educated city financial broker, lost his job he tried to hide the fact from his girlfriend, family and friends. His addiction to cocaine and gambling led him to crime and eventually attempts to commit suicide. Prison changed his outlook on life. As he prepares for an adventure no-one has ever attempted before he tells me why he has not allowed his mistakes to define him.Links: Suicide HelplineHelp for problem gambling - Healthy bodyhttps://allianceofsport.org/https://penalreformsolutions.com/www.nomadicpaddler.co.ukwww.everestreform.co.uk @nomadicpaddler @everestreformSecond Chance: facebook.com/RaphaelRowePodcast/Second Chance Webpage: Second ChanceWebsite: Raphael-Rowe.com  Instagram: @areporterTwitter: @areporter) Sound by Joe Adams Podcasts| Audio AvalancheSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

Award Winning Second Chance is a podcast series that explores the theme of second chance. It raises the questions who deserves a second chance, who decides who gets a second chance and what a second chance actually means. On this podcast we speak to people from all walks of life about their experiences, some who have been given a second chance in life, some who might be considered to be beyond deserving a second chance. The host of the podcast series is Raphael Rowe, host of the critically acclaimed series ‘Inside the World's Toughest Prisons’ on Netflix. He is also a former correspondent for the world's longest running BBC TV current affairs show Panorama the BBC Radio 4 Today programme as well as a regular contributor on The One Show and Sunday Morning Live on BBC One. In 1988, aged 20, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder and robbery he did not commit. In July 2000, after 12 years in prison, the Court of Appeal quashed his wrongful convictions and he was freed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
