On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, I’m joined by Stefan Verstappen, founder of ChinaStrategies.com and FormingCommunities.com. We learn about the growing local community he’s been building since 2020; the Art of Urban Survival/vonuing in cities; and hear Stefan’s extremely interesting path here, from JFK “conspiracy theorist”, to martial arts in China, and more.
