In this gripping and heart-wrenching episode, Ian sits down with Steven Ferguson, a professional boxer with an extraordinary story of redemption.

Steven shares the raw truth of his life, from growing up amidst trauma and violence, to being groomed into criminality at a young age, and battling addiction that began at just 13 years old. His descent into a life of crime, drug-induced psychosis, and eventual imprisonment seemed destined to end in tragedy. But Steven’s journey didn’t stop there.

The conversation delves into:

• The depths of his addiction: Drug-fueled psychosis, homelessness, and isolation from family.
• His criminal past: From grooming younger kids into crime to surviving violent incidents that almost claimed his life.
• Hitting rock bottom: Facing the brink of suicide and the phone call that saved his life.
• Rehabilitation and self-discovery: The pivotal moments in rehab that helped Steven confront his guilt, forgive himself, and uncover his authentic self.
• A new purpose: How Steven is now using his painful past to mentor at-risk youth, speaking in schools, and guiding young people away from the life he once lived.
• Finding strength in vulnerability: The power of being open about his struggles to inspire others and change lives.

This raw, unfiltered conversation is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of accountability and purpose. Steven’s journey from criminality to becoming a role model and mentor is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to change your path.
