In this episode of Let’s Connect, our host Olivia Ebeling meets with Jonathan Thorogood, the visionary restaurateur behind Ibiza’s iconic beach haven, El Chiringuito (and the new Beach House in Playa d’en Bossa). Our signature question: “How are you really doing?” let Jonathan shares his journey - from the serendipity of acquiring El Chiringuito to how he and partner breathed new life into its atmosphere and menu, balancing heritage and innovation. He discusses the lessons he’s learned about intuition, hospitality, and leading with passion.
When it’s time for our Perfectly Imperfect card, Jonathan reveals a moment of candid vulnerability that brings the conversation beautifully full circle. This episode is about following your gut, the deeper meaning behind taking care of people, and building soulful hospitality places.
No filters. No facades. Just connection.
Let’s Connect is a Soul Water podcast. Raw honesty. Unfiltered answers. In the ‘Perfectly Imperfect’ segment, our guests pull a question card and face something a little…uncomfortable, but very human. The questions are personal, playful, and sometimes provocative, just like Soul Water. Expect confessions, contradictions, guilty pleasures, emotional curveballs, and hilarious overshares, all in the name of being real, not perfect. At Let’s Connect, we believe the most authentic stories emerge from the mess, the magic, and the moments we don’t usually share on Instagram.
