I'd always wanted to know the back story of the two people who moved to Beijing then embarked on a mission to bring the best of the best fitness (including kettlebells of course) instruction to China.

Interviews
A Chat with Wim Hof The Iceman, Poke Bowl Mania, Thrive Market, and the Give Back Box Program
Just a few weeks ago, I clicked a couple buttons on Skype and interviewed the one and only Wim Hof--The Iceman for Dragon Door.
