Jay Pukepuke went from a rugby league player with huge potential- he was a Warriors age-grade star and on track for a career in the NRL.
Then he went off the rails and committed 15 armed robberies which saw him incarcerated for six years across some of New Zealand’s toughest prisons.
Since then he has become a father, a mentor, an author, and the co-founder of an organisation called “Bros for Change.”
Inside this episode, Jay opens up about:
The adrenaline addiction that drove him into crime
Hearing another inmate being beaten to death in a neighbouring cell
The shame he still carries for the victims
The moment he finally realised he had to change and so much more
His book Inner Warrior captures this journey on the page, but hearing him speak it is something else entirely. Jay is funny, confronting, and incredibly honest about the man he used to be… and the man he’s become.
If you like redemption arcs, this one is as authentic as they come.
