Description

How does a Danish ex-con wind up as a secret agent dealing arms in North Korea? Jim Latrache (aka Mr. James from The Mole) reveals all here!
What We Discuss with Jim Latrache:

What compels a poor Danish kid like Jim Latrache to join the French Foreign Legion, and was it everything he expected it to be?
How did Jim get wrapped up in the cocaine trafficking business, what rationalizations allowed him to carry on guilt-free, and what lessons did he learn along the way?
What put Jim's drug dealing empire in the crosshairs of the police, and how did he spend his 5.5-year prison sentence once the law caught up with him?
Why was Jim seen as an ideal candidate for gathering intelligence in North Korea despite being an obvious outsider, what dangers did he face once there, and how did his years of risk pay off?
As remarkable as Jim's story is, it shows how even the most unlikely people can make a difference in the world.
