Hear his story of drug trafficking, prison, and HIV

Evert ‘Eddie’ Smallegange shared his riches-to-rags story, including his HIV-positive diagnosis and why he believes it's fear porn.My conversation with Eddie is based on his book, Fast Women Slow Horses, which is a metaphor for the destructive allure of reckless pleasures and poor choices that lead to ruin. He openly shares how addiction shaped his life, the thrill and chaos of his choices, and the heavy price he paid, including time behind bars in multiple countries. For example, he was jailed for 10 months in Jersey for smuggling 1kg of cannabis resin (199 pellets, street value £20,000–£30,000) by swallowing them.Obviously, Eddie also discussed the dark world of international drug trafficking and its risks, yet admitted it was worth it—a brutally honest confession I loved. 🤣The chapter that interested me most was about his HIV-positive diagnosis and why he (rightly) calls it pharmaceutical nonsense.📺 Watch video episode
