At seven years old, Jonathan Tepper was bringing heroin addicts back to his house. In this episode of Infinite Loops, Jonathan shares what it was like growing up in the heroin capital of Europe, living through the AIDS epidemic, losing his younger brother, and watching his parents build a rehab movement that now spans 20 countries. We also talk about writing honestly, the danger of binary thinking, and how those early experiences shaped the way he thinks about investing and the world. Jonathan’s powerful, moving memoir, Shooting Up: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Addiction, is out now and published in the US by Infinite Books.
