I’ve always known that books can open doors. But how many can be opened in just one year? Listen in as Loren Culp, Police Chief in Republic, WA stood up for citizens rights on Facebook in November 2018, wrote American Cop: Upholding the Constitution and Defending Your Right to Bear Arms which was published by O’Leary Publishing in February 2019, and then through a series of events launched a political campaign for Governor of WA that same year and is now sharing his message around the state campaigning. Books can do so much more than you could ever dream. Loren had no idea this would be his path. Yet he was willing to say ‘yes’ to opportunities that came his way and not let fear or lack of experience stop him. Listen in as Loren shares this amazing journey.
