#348. Feared South Coast Gym Boss & Gang Leader - Danny Harkins
from Eventful Lives
Danny Harkins opens up about a life that spun from boxing gyms and factory floors into one of the most feared debt-collecting operations in the south of England - and the forty-three-year sentence that came crashing down on him and his crew.What started as five limited companies, eighty-odd cars on the forecourt, and three debt collectors on retainer became a spiral of ego, cocaine, and violence - ending in a petrol-bombed gym, a botched kidnap, and years behind bars. He talks about the fallout with his oldest friend, the vengeance he carried inside, and the addiction that crept back in once he came home - and the public relapses he's chosen to own rather than hide. Now clean and building a platform to help others out of the same hole, he reflects on what real accountability looks like after a life like that.This is the eventful life of Danny Harkins.
