He says a person should, 'Learn, Earn and Return' in their lives. He is now returning his wisdom to others. Sheridan Mangal and SFM Foundation. 'Our courses get young people to think for themselves. They get a lot of self esteem from that.
'Exiting a gang is very delicate - they have exit as well as entrance ceremonies.' Talking about his experiences working with gang members and people with difficult behavioural issues.

If I see lights go on in a young person's eyes who had no hope but then finds hope of success through our workshops, it is a better feeling than receiving a £50,000 bonus. (http://t.co/Ll2Fppr9)
