Summary

From gang life to prison to purpose. This is Adam’s story.


In Episode 4 of Boys Will Be Boys, we sit down with Adam Raja to unpack a life that could easily have gone a very different way.


Adam grew up in a gang environment on the outskirts of Glasgow, where violence, drugs and survival were part of everyday life. What follows is an unfiltered conversation about identity, fear, masculinity, and the long road back from prison to becoming a man he’s proud of.


We talk about:


  • Growing up in gang culture and the pull of belonging
  • Violence, fear, and the reality behind “toughness”
  • Prison and how quickly it becomes normal
  • The moment everything changed
  • Masculinity, empathy, and becoming a better man
  • Finding purpose through the outdoors and community

This is not a story about redemption in neat lines. It’s messy, honest, and deeply human.


It’s also exactly why we started this podcast.


Boys Will Be Boys is a series of conversations with men we respect. Men who have lived, failed, learned, and changed. We’re trying to understand what it actually means to be a good man in the modern world.
