From Prison to Purpose: best-selling celeb Chef Jon Watts
Manage episode 513295287 series 3506780
Is it possible for one moment of accountability to change everything?
At 18, Jon Watts was sentenced to six and a half years in prison - a turning point that would shape the rest of his life.
Today, he’s a Sunday Times best-selling author and chef to the rich and famous, known for his inspiring story of redemption and resilience.
In this conversation, Jon opens up about growing up in a strict religious community, the choices that led him to prison, and the hard work it took to rebuild his life from scratch. We talk about responsibility, forgiveness, and the quiet power of perseverance.
This episode is raw, honest and deeply human - a story of transformation, second chances, and what’s possible when you decide your past doesn’t have to define your future.
=====
We all want to be happy, healthy and fulfilled.
The question is: how?
Project Possible, hosted by me, Rich Leigh, explores this question with incredible guests from the world of business, sport, entertainment, health and psychology.
Between the second and third series, I made the decision to go full-time on this show.
I sold my successful 10 year old PR agency after a heart-breaking family tragedy made me realise that I should run towards passion, purpose and positive impact, and my dream of this being my career.
Possibilists, pull up a pew.
