Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

My Journey from a Satanic Cult and Childhood Abuse to Hope
Q: Tell me about your childhood and where you grew up.
The guest describes growing up in Nelson, New Zealand, with a mother who was severely injured in a motorbike accident and later involved with violent dynamics; he details early exposure to trauma, multiple clinicians, and a lack of protection from authorities, which shaped his early sense of danger and self-reliance.
"Clinically Insane" to Healing: Zach's Incredible 9D Breathwork Recovery Journey
Q: What was it like growing up and dealing with family health issues?
Zach explains a relatively stable early childhood contrasted with later losses and a hereditary brain disease in his family, which contributed to anxiety, panic and early exposure to medications, shaping a life of struggle and adaptation.
I Spent 8 Years in Prison for Accessory to Murder - This is How I Changed | A Colourful Past Podcast
Q: What role did mentorship and family play in your transformation?
Mentors like Geoffrey Morgan showed a possible path out, and my family's needs kept me focused on creating a stable, meaningful future. The drive to be there for my kids helped cement my decision to change.
I Spent 8 Years in Prison for Accessory to Murder - This is How I Changed | A Colourful Past Podcast
Q: How did your past influence your current business and public presence?
I turned pain into purpose by starting Purple Prince, an acai business, and using social media to tell my story authentically. This approach built a personal brand that people could connect with, which opened doors for coaching, public speaking, and mentoring.
I Spent 8 Years in Prison for Accessory to Murder - This is How I Changed | A Colourful Past Podcast
Q: What made you turn your life around after prison?
The shift came from maturing, seeing the consequences of my actions, and recognizing a larger purpose in helping my own kids and other young people. I also found value in mentorship programs and the possibility of building a legacy rather than chasing a reckless empire.
