Episode 52: Zac Guildford. A story of hope and redemption

This is a follow up conversation, recorded immedialy after former All Black star Zac Guildford finished serving his sentence of Home detention (December 16, 2022)

We talk all about what he learned about himself during the past 9 months on home detention, his sobriety, his relationship with his family, how he feels about himselff, how much money he still has to pay back to friends and family, his hopes for the future and much much more.

.

Zac has done so much work on himself so he can become the person he wants to be. He knows its a long road and one he has to walk day by day.

I can’t thank Zac enough for being so open and honest. I hope you like this conversation.
