Episode 11: CONVICTION - An Interview with Wayne Hart

September 17, 2020

From Mountjoy Prison to the TEDx stage, Wayne Hart's story is a remarkable tale of conviction, in every sense of the word. In this interview he takes us on the journey from a tough and abusive childhood to graduating with a Master's degree and his determination to give back to society in any way he can. The word 'inspirational' can be overused at times but Wayne's is truly an inspiring story of overcoming a criminal past, drug addiction and numerous stays in prison. Now his path is one of helping others who have faced similar challenges, not least by giving a TEDx talk from the very prison in which he had previously been incarcerated! It was a privilege to meet him and I hope you enjoy our interview. (Contains Strong Language)
