HOW I GOT KIDNAPPED AT 15!! SINA Ep 173

He went from sleeping on London buses at 14… to getting kidnapped at 15, jumping in stolen cars, living in bandos, running lines, getting raided, carrying samurai swords, surviving county lines violence, and serving over five years in prison across multiple sentences…

…and somehow flipped all of that into becoming a respected chef, restaurant leader, Dubai project head, and now the proud founder of his own premium burger brand, Bundle.

This is not a “gang story.”
This is not glorification.
This is a real conversation about pain, survival, trauma, bad choices, harsh consequences, and redemption.

On this episode of The Blue Tick Show, Sina opens up like never before. From strict upbringing, no stability at home, violence in the streets, losing structure, dealing with fear, ego, bad influences and wrong decisions… to eventually finding discipline, purpose and a future inside a prison kitchen program that completely changed his mindset and life direction.

You’ll hear the raw truth about London street life, what really happens when you think it’s “just money and vibes,” how fast life can turn, how fear and pride trap young men, and how one opportunity can completely restructure your whole future if you humble yourself and take it.

And then comes the biggest plot twist…
From prison to peeling onions in a bakery, grafting unpaid just to stay out of trouble, to working in restaurants, earning trust, becoming team leader, helping launch a £7M+ Battersea restaurant, flying to Dubai to open another huge site… and now launching his OWN burger brand, rooted in culture, community, love and second chances.

This episode is emotional.
It’s inspiring.
It’s important.
And it’s exactly the type of story the younger generation needs to hear.
