Every presentation is meticulously tailored to meet the specific requirements of each booking, ensuring a fresh and personalized experience. There is no repetition or recycling of content; each talk is a unique exploration of my extraordinary journey.
Embarking on a remarkable odyssey through the realm of organized crime in Australia, my narrative unfolds from an unconventional upbringing to providing private security for figures like Chopper Read and Pasquale Barbaro. The journey extends into international drug smuggling, gangland enforcement, and culminates in serving a sentence at Lotus Glen Correctional, one of Australia's truly distinctive prisons located in FNQ.
However, these talks transcend the mere retelling of a life in crime; they are not a glorification or an opportunity to showcase war stories. Instead, they embody a powerful tale of redemption, continuous learning, discovering purpose, and excelling in the face of unprecedented adversity.
The presentations serve various purposes, with the primary objectives being twofold. Firstly, they aim to contribute to the reduction of recidivism within the justice community. Secondly, they seek to enhance awareness of mental health needs among management, providing insights on how to leverage this understanding to foster profitable outcomes for all parties involved. Each talk is a compelling journey that inspires positive change and motivates audiences to overcome challenges, emphasizing the potential for growth and transformation.
These are the categories of entertainment or other services offered by Life After Lockup.
Self sufficient, a microphone and a projector would be ideal, however, can bring my own equipment if required.
