Recovery From Sex, Crime, Prison & Drug Addiction! School of Rock Bottom 16: Michael Emmett

[TW//Sexual abuse, sex addiction, criminal acts, drug and alcohol use] In 1993, author Michael Emmett found his name in the headlines when he was nicked for a £13million drug bust and sentanced to 12-and-a-half years in prison. Today we are going on a journey of recovery from crime, prison, drugs, the love of money and sex addiction. Discover the shocking and hugely inspiring life of Michael Emmett whose dad was connected to The Krays, Freddie Foreman, Frankie Frasier, The Richardson's Gang & The Great Train Robbers. While in prison, with his father in the same cell, he happened to find God, hope, and a new lease of life. A transformed and loving family man, Michael is sowing seeds of hope around the world through speaking events, podcasts and through his charity work helping to reform offenders in prison around the world. He hopes sharing his story of desperation and darkness will encourage others to step into the light. I really, really enjoyed spending time with Michael and his transformation is extremely powerful - I felt nothing but intense love and hope coming from the soul of this man. A huge thank you.

About this podcast - Welcome to the School Of Rock Bottom Podcast with Oliver Mason. I work as an actor, voice-over artist, Performing Arts School Principal and a Mental Health Coach. It's these careers and passions combined that have inspired this podcast! People working in the entertainment and performing arts industry are twice as likely to experience depression, are up to 15x more likely to suffer from anxiety and those working across all the creative industries are 3x more likely to suffer a mental health problem. In this podcast, we invite creatives who have lived through a rock bottom but have survived! These stories need to be heard to help others realise that no matter how bad things seem there is hope and always a way out!
