Potpourri: Landing In LA & Straightening Out With J-John
Arriving in LA wasn’t easy for J-John (like it is for anyone…) and getting on his feet involved a bit more hustle than our average guest. He started his first businesses down in Skid Row and it wasn’t long before legal intervention prevented his enterprises from growing as wide as he’d like. Writing on the wall, J-John straightened out and has been keeping clean since then. As always, thank you for listening!

Potpourri: The Wisdom of a Childhood Fully-Lived with J-John
In part 1 of a 2-parter, J-John discusses growing up in the dirty south, the foster care circuit and the hell a kid can raise on a bicycle.
J-John is our first guest to be booked by Swinky! J-John is a charmer always ready with a yarn about growing up in the dirty south. His stories are so plentiful that we’ve had to split this conversation into two parts. The first half covers his childhood and time in the foster care system. The second half (which will be released Thursday) covers his arrival in LA, his early days here hustling on the street and going straight. As always, thank you for listening!

Little Tokyo: Mariko Lochridge Invests Daily And Dollarly
Kicking off our maxi-series on Little Tokyo is community organizer, journalist and all-around-terrific person, Mariko Lochridge.
Mariko Lochridge jumped back and forth between America and Japan quite a bit growing up. These international interests and ambitions eventually led her to a career in journalism, a career that allowed her to maintain her global mindset. Everything changed when she discovered the challenges and rewards of community organization and local level politics. It’s this think locally/act locally approach that led her to the Little Tokyo Service Center in Downtown Los Angeles, which in turn led to this very mini-series. Since Mariko is producer on this series, we decided to reserve the first block in the deepest dive to date on The Hollywood Fishbowl for her. Get ready for 10 episodes on the past, present and future of Little Tokyo as told through the eyes of historians, community organizers, legacy business owners and up-and-coming entrepreneurs.
