From pioneer to renaissance man, Phil Swatek is a real-life example the oft-overused phrase \u201cBeen There, Done That.\u201d Coming of age in the 60\u2019s 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\u2019s new book, \u201cThe Marijuanistas of Maui\u201d is beautifully evocative of Maui as it was, and tells the tale of the island\u2019s illegal, exotic and danger-filled marijuana trade. The question is\u2026 is it fiction, or truth? For a true island vibe, join Rick and Phil on this special edition of Talking Tough.
