The one where D. Eric Maikranz explains what it’s like to have Mark Wahlberg make a movie from his indie published book.

Eric has backpacked and worked all around the world as a foreign correspondent, translator, and more. He’s since published two nonfiction guides, Insider’s Rome and Insider’s Venice.
