Born into a challenging housing scheme, Paul Smith was drawn into the perilous world of gangs, despite his loving family background. Poverty and limited opportunities left him with few choices, and he quickly became immersed in the thrill of gang life, enduring stabbings, shootings, and jail time. From Gangs To Gourmet is a compelling account of Paul Smiths incredible journey from the depths of gang culture to a life of stability and purpose. Against all odds, Paul transformed his life, leaving behind the violence and chaos to build a successful career as a chef and stable marriage. This gripping memoir is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, offering hope and inspiration to those facing their own challenges. Paul Smiths story is a powerful reminder that its never too late to break free from a troubled past and find a path to redemption and success.
' last time I was ever in trouble' two stories later he's been stabbed and slashed. Great episode good to see he's turned it around.

Alot of guys fae ma city of Glasgow come on podcasts and are a fucking embarrassment, but I've got to say Paul is not a bullshiter
He aint from Glasgow
Brilliant podcast guys, remember him well. I always wondered whatever happened to him and also whatever happened to Paul McKenna, they both just disappeared but this obviously cleared that up for Paul and where he was. Great story and great turnaround.
"Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future"

You reap what you sow biggest lesson i learned from this story good to see this guys lifes changed a bit i pray his life grows with God and forgiveness great podcast
I grew up with Paul as kids into teenage years he done some stupid stuff in his teenage years witch led to jail time etc so he really did pay a big price for the things he did he is a strong believer in karma will catch up with everyone that’s why he doesn’t care all the violence that’s happened to him his attitude is everything you put out comes back 10 times worse of 10 times better depending of witch pennie you put in the karma bank and you know something I tend to agree with him ,, as of 09 it wasn’t easy it was a very hard road from harrasment from police etc to having to cut everyone off from his past it took years for people to really trust n care for Paul who were not from that life but as of now the man he is today is caring , loving, genuine, generous, a loyal friend fiancé a great dad to our 3 great kids couldn’t ask for a better person to be with he truely is my soul mate best mate everything to me ❤❤ he really has done a 180 in life I’m so so proud of him I love and respect him !!! His book is amazing too I’m so proud of him for chasing his dreams and shooting for the stars now xxxx❤❤❤❤

Was sometimes hard growing up in carbrain, good people but nothing to do for young ones apart from hanging about the streets, drinking, drugs, getting into trouble, partying and then the shitty nightclubs when a bit older so much the same really - good on yous boys getting yourselves together and doing well! 😊 great podcast! the books on my list!
Amazing podcast
Nice one 👊🏴
Goney pick yer book up big yin!
Good podcast
Come down aff the eccys was brutal but the buzz was awesome 😅
Good interview painful and riveting story. The last two attacks on Paul were Karma. Unfortunately it was a liberty taking on him being stabbed the first time defending his pal. The slashing the second attack wasn't anything to do with him. It's easy to say in retrospect he could have walked away. Good to hear that you have changed your life. Keep on keeping on respect 🙏
My story is nothing compared to your brother and joes but thank you for the kind words lockie
Good podcast. Didn’t know Jim was from cumbernauld
