Episode 19!!! Punk Philosophy with John Joseph McGowan, triathlete, punk rock singer, from the gritty streets of the Lower East Side in the 70's and 80's.

John Joseph is an OG vegan. He's also an OG punk rocker. He was living in the streets of NYC's Lower East Side when he was 14 years old. He's almost been killed more than once. He's deeply spiritual and philosophical. He's a 10 time Iron Man Triathlete (he's training for his 11th). He's still singing with the Cro-Mags and was preparing for a European tour at the time of this recording. He's written 2 books with a 3rd on the way.

In this episode we talk about consciousness, risk, survival, doing time, grit, Positive Mental Attitude, yoga, teaching and learning, and soooooooooo much more!

Special note for people who like f-bombs: TONS of f-bombs in this episode, or as John calls it, "vernacular."

This is a punk recording

Also, keep in mind, as I say in the recording, this is a punk recording :) where i record every moment from start to finish (except the first 20 or 30 seconds because I forgot to hit record, which is normal for me.)

I did no pre-interview, nor unrecorded rapport building... nothing before or after, I just recorded the whole thing so you could hear a little "behind the scenes" of an episode.
