Back on episode 28, almost 16 months ago we heard from Laudjah who was fresh out of prison. He told us of how he was adapting to life on the out and the financial challenges that come with this transition - He shared how he was having to curb his love of the finer things and how he was committed to turning over a new leaf

Now, he’s got a job he loves, he’s moved out of the hostel and he’s saving for his future. Laudjah has made big changes and has kept a positive mindset throughout. Zak & Emma react and reflect on his successes and share how to use Laudjah’s story as inspiration and motivation.
