PART 2 RIORDAN MAYNARD - REBUILDING LIFE AFTER PRISON & LOSING EVERYTHING

This is a first for me - a part 2. If you haven’t heard my first interview with Riordan Maynard, the businessman who got sent to maximum security prison in the US for 6 years, go back and listen now! The reaction from that first episode was astonishing so we simply had to get him back in to answer all those burning questions you all had sent in…

We talk about the lasting impact of prison on his confidence, his identity, and most of all, his family. And of course, dive into the ins and outs of what prison in the states is really like.

We cover:

•⁠ ⁠The PTSD he now lives with after leaving jail

•⁠ ⁠The unexpected friendships (and business offers) he made in prison (including an offer to be the European Cocaine King!!)

•⁠ ⁠Mental resilience he developed inside

•⁠ ⁠The impact of his time away on his kids and wife

•⁠ ⁠How he’s rebuilding his life now

This is a conversation about second chances and what it really takes to rebuild your life after everything has fallen apart. I admire Riordan’s honesty and sheer resilience more than ever - and I think you’ll understand why.
