In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Shep sits down with Tim Reboulet, COO of M6 Global Defense, to unpack a remarkable career in security, protection, and leadership. With nearly 30 years of experience across law enforcement, the U.S. Secret Service, cybersecurity, and K–12 safety, Tim’s path began in local policing before enduring the rigorous selection process to join the Secret Service.

Tim reflects on the pivotal events of the 1990s including Waco, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the first World Trade Center attack that cemented his resolve to help safeguard the nation. He also shares a behind-the-scenes look at his time protecting the President, the deep knowledge of U.S. currency required to combat counterfeiting, and how those experiences shaped his approach to security today.

This episode offers an inside perspective on the formative years of a career dedicated to keeping people, whether world leaders or schoolchildren, safe.
