Garland Pepper presents.

In our second conversation I find Jonathan in a treatment center. He self checked in.  This is a show about addiction, about war, about South Africa, about family, about sex about love agression rugby loss fear power and healing through stories we tell ourselves.  Stories of the hungry for love  for needing validation stories of loss and empty victoies.   How many of us fill the voids  or hide with some form of addiction?. The more we love ourselves the better it gets. Listen up and enjoy 

I met Jonathan on clubhouse, he has a wit and a charm that is fun and hard to catch up to if you dont figure it out.  Jonathan starts his life in Rhodesia and moves to South Africa at the age of eight.  His stories are varied and the telling magnanomous.  Jonathan is a born story teller and he has lived the tales from Apartaid Conscripted to war in Angola at 18. Serious issues with addiction and pain covering mind numbing tom folllery to break away from the stories that haunt and it seldom works. So you go to a new place can just be and know that you are okay.  Thats where I caught to Jonathan and it my pleasure to share this with you.   Thank you 

This taco truck has a big menu Isidro is the Taco Philosopher and he puts flavors to mind and wraps em up in a nice warm tortilla. 

Fake foods Traditional vs not traditional,Taco Bell is American food.  What does it take to be the best at things?  

Is there a perfect taco?

Grasshoppers are high in protein,Crawdads are yummy water insects, and shrimp are insects in the sea

Food in modern times philosophy all wrapped in 10,000 tacos

What is food but agriculture, How to does a bullshitter make it work when the truth is un deniable, When life throws you a cow you make carne asada. Racisim is sad. Kindess and gratitude are key components to life and the best burrito is mate with truth forgiveness and enrichment.  Listhen up you will love Isidro.

Allan's  story begins in Apartied South Africa, He served in the Army and experienced great tragedy resulting in PTSD and self destructive behavior for many years following his time in Angola.  Allan's Life has been challenging  but its what we do with the challenges that make the difference. Allan became obsessed with the book think and Grow Rich by Napolian Hill a classic book that will reframe the way you think about manifesing your future.  I Highly recomend this book.   Allan is a man who has lost it all and built it up a few times. he served on Tony Robbins Leadership team for 20 years and worked with landmark, helping people discover the stories that limit them in life.  You may want to listen to this show a few times becuase Allen Pumps you up and tells great stories. Dehydration Warning these stories can get deep and you may find a place where you feel all the emotions.  Go ahead and let those emotions flow and feel the story, Empathy is good for you.   Love yourself and love your others. IcT9sOc11DBLnXMITvcI
