Length-44 minutes, 46 seconds

Dr. Bohdi Sanders, "The Wisdom Warrior", interviews Mr. Clint Overland, about warrior values, self defense, and his 20 years of experience as a bouncer.  This is part one of a two-part interview.  Both Dr. Sanders and Mr. Overland are co-hosts of the Warrior Traditions Podcast.

Mr. Clint Overland

Born in Lubbock Tx in 1969, I was reared in the rough and tumble world of farmers, ranchers, truckers and rednecks. I spent a stint in the U.S. Air Force in the late 80's and early 90's. I began a life of bouncing and other less honorable jobs at this time. I have been arrested more times than I'll talk about but never convicted. Been shot, stabbed, set on fire, and beat with everything from beer bottles to golf clubs.

I am the proud father of four great kids and the husband of a very patient wife who deals with my insanity to the best of her ability. I have spent the past 8 years trying to change my life and make up for some of the evil I've done. I am a Christian but not a good one (Thanks God for grace) and still trying to improve. I hope that I can make a difference in just one person's live through the Warriors Heart and if I do, it makes it all worthwhile.
