From the Vault | Michael Maisey on facing death and embracing life.

The Emma Guns Show

Trigger warning: this episode contains references to suicide.

I’ve said it before and it’s highly likely I’ll say it again… One of the best things about creating this podcast is getting to have conversations with and see the world through someone else’s eyes. Seeing it through Michael Maisey’s lens, as someone who spent the majority of his teens in the prison system, overcame heroin addiction and survived a suicide attempt, who is now a successful businessman and motivational speaker is a real privilege.

I ask all my guests what their relationship is like with risk and, as you can imagine, Michael’s answer is completely unique. His life experiences have given him an incredible perspective and his struggles have motivated him to be the helping hand someone else, who finds themselves at the thin end of opportunity and privilege, needs.

I’m not going to lie, this conversation is INTENSE and deeply thought-provoking.

Michael’s book Young Offender is available now.
