Chris and Claire
C – So massive hello to all our friends at home, today I have the absolute delight of being joined Clare Vosper. Clare is the wife of Chris Vosper who if you haven’t seen it already, I really suggest you watch the podcast I did with Chris. Fascinating guy, amazing history from the Royal Marines to flying Apache gunships in Afghanistan. Chris and Clare now run V-Force which is lots of things and I won’t try and sum it all up now but it’s basically a Special Forces driving experience, very high Octane stuff.
C – And I want to say great on achieving your 200 mile run, definitely well done!
C – So for those that don’t know instead of spending Christmas with the family I set out to run 200 miles instead.
C – We’re in awe of you as ever.
C – Thank you. Today Clare we’re going to do something unique, because no-one has ever really asked me about my Eating Smoke memoir or my story in Hong Kong…

Chris and Rupert
C – Rupert how are you?
R – I’m very well thanks Chris, how are you doing?
C – Yes, I’m very well and I’ve been really looking forward to our conversation. Firstly I’d like to thank you for joining my One Life Smash It community group on Facebook.
R – Yes, I’ve been enjoying it. You know normally I’d be jetting around the world for work, one of my motorcycling adventures or just yomping, but because of Covid you know I’ve been stuck here. I’m here in Hong Kong. I hadn’t watched any news for a long time, so I started to watch, but that didn’t last long. Probably for the same reason you stopped watching mainstream media. So I dipped into YouTube and found the podcast world which has been enlightening. I discovered yourself and I’ve been following some of your courses which are right up my street, like nutrition, endurance and looking after ourselves and keeping positive.

#19 Can A Westerner Join The Triads? A Doorman For The Triads Explains
Chris Thrall is one of the few westerners to have worked for the secretive and savage Hong Kong Triads.
Transcript snippet from podcast
‘Hello Friends
So I’ve been asked how many foreigners work for the triads, and even if foreigners can work for the triads. The short answer is no, but there are some exceptions and I’m going to try and explain. I was never a triad, I worked a nightclub door for them, and this how I became an affiliate … ‘
