Description

Brendan O’Neill was chasing a fighting dream overseas when he ended up in a Chinese jail cell, alone, out of his depth, and facing serious time.

Fast forward a few wild turns later… and he’s running a full-blown mushroom empire out of Thailand, turning fungi into a million-dollar wellness brand.

Oh, and he’s also the brains behind the Fruiting Body Podcast, the go-to show for ex-pats, travellers, and anyone curious about Thailand and Southeast Asia from the inside.
