    #56 Dr Timoti Te Moke: From Gangs & Prison to Becoming a Doctor at 56

    Dr Timoti Te Moke’s story is one of the most remarkable we’ve ever shared on Unfiltered. Growing up surrounded by violence, abuse and poverty, Timoti became involved in gangs, spent time in prison, and was told his future had already been written. Against all odds, he turned his life around, became a paramedic, and went on to qualify as a doctor at 56 years old. In this episode, Dave sits down with Timoti to talk about resilience, the power of education, overcoming adversity, and why no child’s future should ever be determined by the circumstances they’re born into. A powerful kōrero about hope, perseverance, and the belief that it’s never too late to change your life.

    #52 Sam Troth

    Surviving Sexual Abuse, Now Fighting for Reform This week, Dave sits down with Sam Troth from ‘Road To Healing Aotearoa’ for one of the most powerful conversations we’ve had about survival, healing, and turning pain into purpose. After experiencing sexual abuse as a child, Sam opens up about the spiral that followed — violence, addiction, prison, and years of carrying pain in silence. But instead of letting it define him, he chose to fight for others walking the same road. Sam has now walked & cycled over 5,000kms fighting for reform. He has walked from Bluff to Cape Reinga (2,073km), cycled around the South Island (2,000km), and recently walked from Cape Reinga to Parliament (1,064km) — calling for a minimum 8-year sentence for sexual offending. Please support Sam. One of his petitions is currently working through government: ✍️ JOIN +17,500 OTHERS — REMOVE GOOD CHARACTER REFERENCES SEXUAL OFFENDERS SIGN HERE: https://petitions.parliament.nz/cf986021-083d-40b6-a30f-08dd63dfe70d Massive shoutout to Sam for coming onto the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/theroadtohealingaotearoa Let us know what you thought of the conversation in the comments!
