At one point, he was known as “the Jake the Muss of South Auckland.” But Timoti didn’t just escape the cycle—he transformed his life.Today, he holds a PhD, lectures on Māori health, and is helping break the very system that once trapped him.In this episode, we trace Timoti’s life from his early years of trauma and crime to the moment everything started to change—step by step.
