Summary: <br><br> <a name="Varg-Freeborn-interview"></a> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> Varg Freeborn is one of the most experienced men I have ever met in terms of observing violence and criminal behavior first-hand as well as being an active participant in violent encounters. His views, concepts, and ideas are straight to the point and well-articulated. <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <a href="#Timeline">Varg Freeborn interview: Jump to timeline and some excerpts.</a><br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> • See live video discussions, join in chats, or ask questions during future conversations by following Daniel on Twitch: <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/danielshaw0369" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.twitch.tv/danielshaw0369</a><br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> • Buy Violence of Mind: <a href="https://amzn.to/38UlNRZ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://amzn.to/38UlNRZ</a><br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> • More information, background, and learning opportunities: <a href="https://vargfreeborn.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://vargfreeborn.com/</a>.<br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> • Support the show!

So I try to stay very clearly in my lane, of experience there.<br><br> <br><br> I have a lot going on, but it all has to do with coaching and making people stronger, better, safer, healthier, and harder to kill.<br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br>
