He spoke about that journey, what it was like being homeless over there to ending up in prison.

Moving back here, and as all 501s, they come back, they get put into a lodge, and they have very, very little support.

And those that don't have any family, it's almost impossible.

So luckily for Anthony, he did have that final support, and he rebuilt his life.

This story is proof that from the deepest pain can become your greatest purpose.

Anthony, thank you so much for joining me, brother.

Thank you for having me, David.

Kia ora.

Can you talk to us about, you know, where it all started for you?

Where were you raised?

Yeah, Decca.

Who remembers Decca?

You know Decca?

Geez, we're showing our age, brother.

It's interesting because you've got a similar background to myself, just sitting here, being shipped off to Australia, shipped off to Samoa, trying to find different places.

When I was sent to Samoa, I thought it was a holiday until I got enrolled in school.
