Version 3.0

Joining the conversation today is Paul Hannaford: Ex high-ranking member of the ‘East London Gang’. In his teens/early 20s Paul was suited and booted wearing a £9k Rolex w/ personal driver. However, like a protagonist from a classic gangster movie, he experienced a ‘fall from grace’. After years addicted to crack cocaine and heroin, he began robbing drug dealers at gunpoint. Death by the drugs, septicemia, or by those dealers was one step away... Now clean for over 9 years, Paul talks to school children about the real dangers of drugs, alcohol, knife crime, gangs and guns. His workshops are inspirational but hard-hitting. In this ‘you can ask me anything’ podcast we open the doors to the London underworld. Links: www.paulhannaford.com/
