About this episode

Dr Timoti Te Moke shares his inspiring journey from a life of crime and prison to becoming a doctor at 56.

Dr Timoti Te Moke’s story is one of the most remarkable we’ve ever shared on Unfiltered. Growing up surrounded by violence, abuse and poverty, Timoti became involved in gangs, spent time in prison, and was told his future had already been written. Against all odds, he turned his life around, became a paramedic, and went on to qualify as a doctor at 56 years old. In this episode, Dave sits down with Timoti to talk about resilience, the power of education, overcoming adversity, and why no child’s future should ever be determined by the circumstances they’re born into. A powerful kōrero about hope, perseverance, and the belief that it’s never too late to change your life.
