Dr Paul Wood: The Murderer Who Became a Doctor of Psychology
This week's guest is Dr Paul Wood – speaker, author, psychologist… and a man who spent 11 years in prison for murder.
Paul opens up about the defining moments of his life: the crime that changed everything, what prison was really like, how he transformed behind bars, and how he became the first person in NZ to earn a PhD while incarcerated.
We cover the brutal realities of prison life, the mental strategies he used to survive and thrive, the death of his mother just days before the murder, and how he now works with elite performers, the NZ Police, and the SAS.
This is one of the most mind-blowing redemption stories we’ve ever told.
