Against all odds, Paul transformed his life, leaving behind the violence and chaos to build a successful career as a chef and stable marriage. This gripping memoir is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, offering hope and inspiration to those facing their own challenges. Paul Smiths story is a powerful reminder that its never too late to break free from a troubled past and find a path to redemption and success.

You reap what you sow biggest lesson i learned from this story good to see this guys lifes changed a bit i pray his life grows with God and forgiveness great podcast

[@BuleBolang]

Brilliant podcast guys, remember him well. I always wondered whatever happened to him and also whatever happened to Paul McKenna, they both just disappeared but this obviously cleared that up for Paul and where he was. Great story and great turnaround. "Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future" Good on ye mate.

[@staceyrice8488]

I grew up with Paul as kids into teenage years he done some stupid stuff in his teenage years witch led to jail time etc so he really did pay a big price for the things he did he is a strong believer in karma will catch up with everyone that’s why he doesn’t care all the violence that’s happened to him his attitude is everything you put out comes back 10 times worse of 10 times better depending of witch pennie you put in the karma bank and you know something I tend to agree with him ,, as of 09 it wasn’t easy it was a very hard road from harrasment from police etc to having to cut everyone off from his past it took years for people to really trust n care for Paul who were not from that life but as of now the man he is today is caring , loving, genuine, generous, a loyal friend fiancé a great dad to our 3 great kids couldn’t ask for a better person to be with he truely is my soul mate best mate everything to me ❤❤ he really has done a 180 in life I’m so so proud of him I love and respect him !!! His book is amazing too I’m so proud of him for chasing his dreams and shooting for the stars now xxxx❤❤❤❤

You can tell these guys are genuine compared to some of the bullshit artists on Sean ratwood get big Gerry rowatt on or some of the old characters from the Calton

Aye definitely see the guys oot there with some real stories.

[@TheJimKingShow]

Thanks for your comment ❤

[@Ron.M-yo9ht]

Good podcast

[@lockiecampbelllockie5585]

Good interview painful and riveting story. The last two attacks on Paul were Karma. Unfortunately it was a liberty taking on him being stabbed the first time defending his pal. The slashing the second attack wasn't anything to do with him. It's easy to say in retrospect he could have walked away. Good to hear that you have changed your life. Keep on keeping on respect 🙏

[@FatMontana84]

My story is nothing compared to your brother and joes but thank you for the kind words lockie
