Wim Demeere Podcast

This episode is a one-hour, in-depth interview with Loren W. Christensen. Loren is my sometimes co-author, a former police officer, expert martial artist and best-selling author.

The Skype connection wasn't great, so there's a slight crackling sound on the line. Nothing we could do about that, sorry.
