From pioneer to renaissance man, Phil Swatek is a real-life example the oft-overused phrase “Been There, Done That.” Coming of age in the 60’s counter-culture, and then graduating from Yale, Phil moved to Maui in now seemingly forgotten, much simpler times. Embodying the storied Hawaiian lifestyle of surf, martial arts mastery, playing live music and aloha, Phil’s new book, “The Marijuanistas of Maui” is beautifully evocative of Maui as it was, and tells the tale of the island’s illegal, exotic and danger-filled marijuana trade. The question is… is it fiction, or truth? For a true island vibe, join Rick and Phil on this special edition of Talking Tough.
