In this episode Luke sits down with Helen Glanville to explore a powerful story of ambition, collapse, and redemption.Helen shares the true story behind her book A Second Chance: A Disgraced Lawyer’s Journey, chronicling the rise and fall of her late husband, a high-flying Sydney lawyer whose desperate decisions led to prison, public shame, and the loss of everything.Together, Luke and Helen unpack the quiet pressures that drive people to the edge, how identity becomes tangled with success, and why losing everything can sometimes be the beginning of a more meaningful life.This is a raw conversation about failure, responsibility, second chances, and redefining what a “good life” actually looks like.Key Takeaways: When success becomes your identity, failure can feel devastating but often becomes the catalyst for real personal growth.Financial pressure and ambition can cloud judgment, even for disciplined and high-achieving people.Public failure does not define you, but accountability is essential for redemption and rebuilding trust.True purpose often comes after loss, when meaning replaces status and external validation.Breaking cycles of incarceration starts with supporting children and families affected by imprisonment.Guest Bio: Helen Glanville is the author of A Second Chance, a powerful story of love, loss, and redemption inspired by her life with Richard “Geoff” Glanville, a former white-collar criminal extradited from Brazil in the 1970s. A former nurse turned advocate and speaker, Helen shares a deeply personal journey shaped by courage, faith, and a belief in the possibility of change, challenging assumptions about justice, forgiveness, and what it truly means to rebuild a life after failure.Learn more about Helen:Website: https://www.helenglanville.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/helenglanville  Facebook (personal): https://www.facebook.com/helen.glanville  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/helenglanville001  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02MWTWD_KyoABOUT CURIOUS AF PODCASTCurious AF is a podcast for people who want more out of life than just ticking boxes.
