How are you feeling?

Yeah, so am I. So there's a couple of things that we should front foot it with.

Brand new book out, a memoir called In a Warrior.

Yeah, I love the name.

There's so many layers to that.

Why was that the title that you settled on?

Yeah.

Yeah, because I suppose that's something you've heard a lot.

People would say, and particularly with your, I suppose, like teenage years, they say you had a lot of potential and you sort of threw it all away.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Does it sting a bit?

It's been a hell of a journey and a process to become the man you are today that's sitting in front of me.

And Bros for Change, that's the other thing you're involved with.

How do you explain that?

What's the elevator pitch for Bros for Change?

No, no, but name aside, what does it mean, and what do you do?

So who are the bros that you're changing?

So you're getting young people and you're basically warning them about potholes along the road that you've learned from your own journey in life.

but yeah that's the world isn't it well thanks for that explanation I think that sets the platform for the podcast you're a good dude and you're doing some great stuff in the community so you've got this amazing book and a warrior and you spend your days changing lives for the better with Bros for Change so now we can start painting a picture of the Jay story the good the bad and the ugly and there's plenty of each right yeah so what are your earliest memories of growing up as a kid in Christchurch
