Wim Demeere Podcast

In this episode I interview an Air Marshal who just retired and happens to be a good friend: Montie Guthrie. Montie has several decades of law enforcement experience working in several agencies, including the Border Patrol. He was kind enough to take some time to talk to me and give his perspective on the job, violence, self-defense, firearms and much more.

Just so you know, we were... helped... yeah, "helped" by an undisclosed amount of whiskey during the recording of this interview. We both felt great afterwards and I sincerely hope you enjoy our interview as well.

Here's another interview, this time with Clint Overland. He's led the life of a violence professional for several decades and has survived it. Clint gives some hard-earned wisdom on violence, working as a bouncer, rape, self-defense and much more. He doesn't hold anything back, so be warned that this episode will shatter some bubbles...

Enjoy the podcast!

In today's episode, I interview Terry Trahan, a good friend and an amazing instructor. Terry has "led an interesting life", to put it midly and he speaks from not only in-depth training when it comes to violence, but also from hard-earned and dearly paid for experience. He's one of those people I have a blanket endorsement for: if you have the chance to train with him, do so.

Enjoy the podcast!

In episode 007 I talk mainly about how I taught self-defense to my children. This started at an early age and continued all the way into their teenage years. It's not as much about fighting techniques as it is about building character.
