#01 - Troy Gonsalves | Pepperpot, Pickled Mango, & Utopian Ideals

Today’s guest Troy Gonsalves is a true renaissance man. Well versed in food, politics and fine art, he is well-travelled and passionate about many things. Born and raised in Guyana, the youngest of 5 brothers, he speaks of Guyana with such vivid recall that I was transported to the warm climate, where you can almost smell the delicious spices in the air. Guyana is a true multi-cultural melting pot of many religions and ethnicities, that ties in lovely to a Guyanese staple stew; Pepperpot. Warning: this episode will leave you hungry and craving warm weather fruit. Troy’s passion for people and life is evident and in his career he helps people transition from one job to another. From speaking with him, I can fully understand why he does so well. I hope you’ll enjoy our chat!
