"Identity is something that is needed to help ground people."
On today's episode, I chat with my 'brah', Josh, who describes himself, in his own words, as "South African, Jewish, flaming homosexual, ex-military, ex-banking, financier; confused from the get-go till I go to sleep!"
I talk to Josh about his upbringing in South Africa, to his time with the Special Forces in the IDF, and the injuries that came with the job. We also talk about his love for boxing and judo, his proud Jewish heritage, his sexuality, body aesthetics and the male gaze. We also chat challahs, brisket and who would come to his dinner party of people he has never met. We touch on why I call him 'Mr Happy', and whether he is obsessed with unicorns or not.
Josh also shares on the podcast his quote and why he refers back to it always.
Thanks for listening to the episode. I'd like to thank my guest for their time, insight and being a great sport!
I would also like to thank my producer, Ashanti Omkar, for all her hard work.
