Tony Supreme is back with a brand new series of Cellmate to CEO. Tony is the CEO of Soul Surge Wellness & Soul Surge and has lived experience of the criminal justice system himself.
In this inspirational series, he talks to CEOs, leaders and changemakers about their journey from prison to leadership.
In this episode, Tony speaks to Gethin Jones, founder of Unlocking Potential, a training and consultancy organisation working with prisons, probation services and justice organisations across the UK and beyond. He's also leading The Cost of Justice, a campaign challenging public perceptions of prison and rehabilitation.
Gethin shares the experiences that shaped his life, from growing up in care and becoming caught in addiction, to receiving 56 offences, 18 convictions and spending eight years in prison. Now, more than 20 years into his own recovery, he's spent his career supporting others, shaping services and influencing change.. Along the way, he reflects on the people who believed in him, the lessons he learned, and how he went from being trapped by the system to helping transform it.
