Summary
At one stage, Manoj Raithatha had a huge portfolio with contracts signed on £330million of property - but he wasn’t satisfied, and he had become heartless and ruthless in equal measure. Then came the crash of 2008, plus the life of his son threatened, and his world imploded. And so began his journey to redemption… It’s a great story!

| 0:33.5 | If you're new to us, I am sick to death of being bombarded relentlessly in the 24-7 news cycle by negativity and depressing stories. |
