## Resource

This week, Dave sits down with Tyndale (Tee) Fiso — AKA The Sound of Tee — radio host and MC, for a raw kōrero about growing up around violence, addiction, and chaos in South Auckland. From hiding in his room as a kid, to almost going down the same path himself — Tee opens up about the moments that nearly broke him.  He shares how he hit rock bottom — stuck in addiction, waking up and getting high every day, and losing sight of who he was as a father — before a turning point that changed everything. From coaching local teams, to speaking in schools, to building his own platform and eventually landing on radio — this is a story about breaking cycles, finding purpose, and proving it’s never too late to turn things around.
