Dom Harvey

Hello, and thank you for choosing to listen to this episode of the Dom Harvey Podcast.

It means a lot.

Coming up, Jay Puke Puke.

Jay Pukepuke went from a rugby league player with huge potential, he was a Warriors age-grade star, used to play in teams with Monty Beetham and other high-profile stars, and he was on track for a career in the NRL.

Then he went off the rails and committed 15 armed robberies which saw him incarcerated for six years across some of New Zealand's toughest prisons.

Since then he's become a father, a mentor, an author and the co-founder of an organisation called Bros for Change.

In this episode, which is brutally honest, Jay opens up about the adrenaline addiction that drove him into crime.

Hearing another inmate being beaten to death in a neighbouring cell.

The shame he still carries for the victims of his crimes.

The moment he realised he had to change and so much more.

His book, Inner Warrior, it's out now in bookstores.

It's an incredible read.

It captures this journey on the page.

But hearing him speak is something else entirely.

Jay is funny, he's confronting, and he's incredibly honest about the man he used to be and the man that he's become.

If you like redemption arcs, this one is as authentic as they come.

This is the Dom Harvey Podcast, and here is Jay Pukepuke.

Is it?

Are you nervous?

Are you anxious?
