I love and aspire to greatness and excellence, and that's exactly why I'm reading this book. I'm not particularly interested in golf, nor do I know the first thing about it, but I am interested in learning about someone who changed the face of a sport and a generation. And he's still going. That's Tiger Woods. For more w/ The Spaniard:   Support The Spaniard Show -  https://patreon.com/charliespan...

The plan is called This is RED (see www.thisis.red) and centers on Dread's "Grea...

Today, I'm going to share some trivia I'd guess 99.9% of people do not know about the history of Hershey, even though it was such a big part of Hershey's story.

At the time of this recording, the guest was the newest colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve—or one of the newest, because he had just been promoted. He is a combat veteran and lawyer who has served in the Army JAG Corps for over 18 years (fun fact: It is the oldest law firm in the United States). So naturally, the conversation opens on thrash metal music and closes with winching a junk car. Wait, wha...

We continue our journey with Trevor Noah and South African apartheid on today's show while focusing on: how/why Trevor Noah was born a crime, his growing up poor and with a sense of determination and his love/utilization of language and books.
