The gripping and harrowing true story of Jonathan Wheeler, who spent 18 years in Thailand's notorious prison system. Enticed by an offer of $10,000, Wheeler agreed to smuggle H from Bangkok to Taiwan - a decision that ultimately cost him nearly two decades of his life. His memoir provides an unflinching look at the brutal realities of life inside Thailand's most feared prisons, including Bang Kwang, also known as the Big Tiger. Inside its oppressive walls, Wheeler faced unimaginable suffering - locked in cramped cells with dangerous inmates, brutalized by corrupt guards, and battling the daily fear of violence and disease. Yet, amidst the cruelty and chaos, he found brief moments of humanity, forming unlikely friendships with fellow prisoners and clinging to the hope of survival.

From sausage balls to sinkholes in Bangkok, no topic is too weird, too wild, or too wonderfully inappropriate.

Episode #413: “No one's liberated without everyone being liberated, right?” Those words belong to Nitchakarn “Memee” Rakwongrit, a Thai youth activist whose journey from a rural upbringing to the center of Bangkok's protests has made her one of the country's most visible young voices for democracy and feminist struggle. Born in Mahasarakham province in Thailand's Isaan region, a place long tied to grassroots democracy but often dismissed by elites, Memee grew up in a politicized household, as her father, a staunch Red Shirt supporter, constantly encouraged her to question authority. At sixteen she moved to Bangkok, and when dissident Wanchalerm Satsaksit was abducted in Cambodia in 2020, she joined her first street protest. She recalls it as the moment the curtain lifted on authoritarianism. Around the same time, having faced harassment and “slut-shaming,” Memee's feminist awareness deepened. With the Feminist Liberation Front Thailand, she adapted the Chilean anthem “A Rapist in Your Path” into Thai, sparking both solidarity and backlash. “For me, feminism is not just…a theory with big words or vocabulary, but how we are really living our life,” she says. Memee's activism quickly put her in the crosshairs. At just sixteen she was arrested for a speech about women in prison; over the next two years she faced seven more cases. Authorities subjected her to symbolic punishments, which she wryly called “certificates of activism.” In 2021, she shaved her head at a rally, declaring, “I will shave my head until this Prime Minister quits!” It became a shocking but powerful symbol of resistance. Despite repression, Memee expanded her reach, and became involved with the Milk Tea Alliance. “It gave me the privilege to be able to listen to broader perspectives and border experiences,” she says. She has worked tirelessly to support Myanmar's pro-democracy struggle, building bridges through “Thai Students for Burma.” For Memee, activism must also include joy. “Fun has two benefits,” she explains. “It is good for mental health in the community, and it attracts more people to join.” Humor, memes, and play, she insists, are weapons against fear.

Today we're talking about major flooding hitting 17 Thai provinces, two Israelis arrested in Koh Samui for a counterfeit money scam, and Thaksin Shinawatra possibly teaching English in prison. Plus, a Pattaya brawl over public urination, a Brazilian woman arrested for assaulting a cop, Bangkok's street food reform, and U.S. backing the Philippines after a South China Sea clash.

Bangkok called my name again in September, and this episode recaps my experiences spending five days in the Thai capital, for a mix of work and fun purposes (of course, even the work parts were fun!). Along with explaining what activities I got up to in Bangkok, I decided to rate each day in terms of how much of a "thoughtful traveller" I was, so listen in to see my daily score out of ten, and my final result. My trip included some networking and education with Tourism Cares, many wonderful Thai meals, great chats with friends, a sightseeing outing to Ayutthaya, and best of all, I finally had the chance to spend time in person with my dear friend Vincie Ho, founder of Rise Travel Institute. We've worked together online for years but never before seen each other in real life!

“The enemy isn't out there. It is within.” That line sets the tone for Snakehead, the seventh Alex Rider novel: darker, sharper, and closer to the bone. We open in Australia (very on-brand for me), surge into Bangkok, and tangle with human-trafficking rings and a bomb plot on the water. Along the way, we meet Ash and face the kind of betrayal that doesn't fit neatly into “good guy / bad guy.”Big idea: Reality is messy. Moral clarity often arrives after the decision.

Luis Herrero y Kelu Robles viajan a la capital tailandesa.

In case you missed it, last week was NY Climate Week. There were well over 1,000 events — from summits with CEO and heads of state, to film screenings, concerts, parties, boat cruises, pitch sessions, hackathons and much more. I tried to sum up my experience at New York climate week in a special episode two years ago. This year, of course, the context was different with a US administration no longer interested in climate, and a lot of green hushing, hand wringing and new language that aims to be less politicizing.To me, one of the most interesting things about NY Climate Week is that it's not the only one. Climate weeks are spreading. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington DC, San Diego, Shanghai, Bangkok, Panama City all have climate weeks. There might be dozens more in the works. No city on the planet is immune from the impact of climate, and most cities have thriving ecosystems of organizations, innovators, investors, policymakers, researchers and more working to advance climate solutions and adapt to a changing planet. In this conversation I'm joined by Nishant Mani and Dan Thorman, co-founders of the LA Climate Week. Nishant and Dan saw a need to bring together their community. They volunteered to lead and have built LA Climate Week into a successful example that people anywhere can follow to create their own week of solidarity, learning and action.

Ever felt like you're hustling so hard that you're slowly burning out—but you keep pushing because that's what entrepreneurs are “supposed” to do?In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with Jesse's Fireside Chat, and I share my personal story of burnout, reinvention, and building what I now call The Happy Hustle.We dive into the turning point in my life when I walked away from a high-flying tech startup career in New York City, with big VC backing, partnerships with giants like Microsoft and IBM, and a public exit on the horizon because deep down, I was empty. I was “successful” on paper but completely out of alignment: no sleep, no joy, and relationships falling apart. That decision to say “no” and pivot to a life in harmony was the seed that grew into The Happy Hustle, a bestselling book, top 0.5% podcast, and thriving community that now helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs systematically harmonize ambition and well-being.In this conversation, Jesse and I talk about what it really takes to recognize burnout, the lessons I learned rebuilding my life in Bangkok, and the tools I now share with others through masterminds, events, and the S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N' system. It's real, raw, and hopefully relatable for anyone who's grinding without fulfillment.Here are a few of the big takeaways you'll hear in this episode:Burnout is a signal, not a badge of honor. Recognizing the stress, anxiety, and overwhelm for what it is can be the first step toward change.Commit to the process, not the stats. I promised myself 200 podcast episodes, no matter who listened and that discipline became the foundation of the show's success.Balance requires intention. The S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N' framework is my personal operating system for staying aligned.Community is the cure for isolation. Masterminds and retreats aren't just events—they're powerful spaces to be vulnerable, connect, and grow with like-minded entrepreneurs.Good and done beats perfect and never finished. Whether it's publishing a book, launching a business, or making a big pivot, action trumps perfection every time.If you've ever wondered how to build a business without sacrificing your health, relationships, or joy, this episode will hit home.

It's no secret that the American workplace is constantly changing. The last few years alone have witnessed major trends, from “job hugging” and a focus on mental health at work to Gen Z entering the labor force amidst a backlash against DEI initiatives. Such shifts have left business leaders struggling to navigate their new reality in a way that promotes business, inspires employees, and makes us all feel better about our jobs.   Business attorney Katie Rinkus welcomes Beth Ridley, a workplace culture consultant and the CEO of Ridley Consulting Group, to dissect these various workplace trends, explaining their effects on businesses and employees alike. Together, they shine a light on how some leaders have responded to new trends—and it's not always for the better. Often, businesses have “over-rotated,” or dramatically course-corrected in ways that have had toxic effects on company culture.   In this episode, Katie and Beth explore:    The new focus on productivity as opposed to a “culture of belonging” What a “belonging” looks like and why it's important at work  ·        Over-rotation vs. a “both/and” long-term sustainable approach to change The underlying factors of the “leadership trust crisis”   How workplace trends like “quiet quitting” and “job hugging” affect employee morale  Questions that leaders can ask themselves about the impact of their work  What it means to prioritize “workplace emotional safety”  Generational tension at work and ways to manage it    If you're an employee who feels overwhelmed by the uncertainty of the current climate, Beth and Katie provide a new perspective. If you're a business leader feeling the same, this episode offers insight on how to sustainably respond to the changes and still reach desired results. Tune in for a few tips on problem-solving, even when you don't have all the answers.     Beth Ridley   Beth Ridley is a former corporate executive turned workplace culture consultant, speaker, author, and CEO of Ridley Consulting Group.

Greg and Ed discuss the recent BBC ‘documentary' called ‘The Dark Side of Paradise' and what it says about media representation of Thailand. Ed explains that the recently aired 3-episode series has been getting a LOT of blowback on expat social media. The series depicts Zara, a young British woman, on her first trip to Thailand, ostensibly to report on the popularity of the Land of Smiles with British influencers. However, the show quickly devolves into an exploration of all the negative stereotypes about Bangkok, from partying to drugs and prostitution.  Greg admits to finding the first episode so grossly underwhelming and riddled with cliches that he couldn't even make it to the end. Ed notes that he got through the first episode, but was shocked by the number of basic factual errors in the show. For example, Zara stated that Khao San Road is open 24/7, and everyone knows that hasn't been true for 25 years. Other very blatant errors, such as the claim that all go-go bars have covers when none in fact do, really calls into question whether the filmmakers did any actual investigating at all. Ed also mentions that a YouTuber who was interviewed in the documentary has claimed that the BBC lied to him about the nature of their interview. Greg expands the discussion to include how Thailand is typically portrayed in the media. Unfortunately, negative stereotypes always come first, even though there is already a veritable boatload of ‘content' out there on these issues. One would think the BBC would have the budget and the experienced writers to do more than scratch the surface with every well-worn cliche about Thailand, but apparently not. Watch at your own risk!

Greg and Ed interview Chatwan Mongkol about his relatively new website called ‘Soiciety.' Chatwan begins by explaining that he was born and raised in Thailand but then went to the U.S. for a year of high school and stayed on for university. He majored in journalism and (shock!) subsequently worked for several news outlets in the Northeast. During his time there he saw a type of news that Thailand lacks: truly LOCAL news that focuses on important practical matters that primarily affect people living in a particular city or region. Hence, ‘Soiciety' was born! The website is in English, but is primarily based on Thai sources of information. Chatwan has chosen to focus on matters directly relevant to people living in Bangkok - not international news, not national Thai news, not abstract political stuff. Does it affect the daily life of people living in Bangkok? If no, it's out, if yes, it's in. Further, currently his audience is made up of foreign English speakers, but he's hoping to expand into international Thais, and in the future could even provide Thai language content if the market is there. Greg and Ed moderately bash the current quality of English language news sites in Thailand, and heartily support the idea of focusing on stuff of immediate practical value. Is a skytrain station being planned for my neighborhood? I want to know that. Are alcohol sales hours being changed in the city? I'd like the answer. Is the city doing anything about the air pollution? Please tell me. You get the idea, and if you live in Bangkok, you could probably use some ‘Soiciety' in your life too.  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.
