Description: What’s up everybody I’m your host Mr. Los. I work in the International transportation sector as a shipbroker for liquid transportation overseas. In this profession I give global market analysis, provide logistics and legal guidance for contract assessment and forward market broadcasting. In addition to the international business I am an MMA striking coach with about 20 years of martial arts experience having trained all over the world at the top academies in the world in multiple different styles. My boss and mentor always liked to use the phrase “inquiring minds need to know” a slogan which I realized was already how my mind operated.
