  • Wes Bearden - Try-Try Again (EPL Season 4 Podcast EP127 🎙️)
    In conversation with Wes Bearden, where we indulge in knowing about the National Council of Investigation and Security Services. ( https://www.nciss.org/ ) It is a USA-based association formed to watch legislative issues which makes it important for private security professionals like us to know about. Wes has been involved with several of the state as well as national associations so he brings in, his plethora of experience to the EP industry.
    Wes goes on to talk about the vision and mission of the institution as well as his specific role within the NCISS. He also sheds light on the reasons why we may not actually see a nationwide license for the EP folks. As a private security professional, this episode has every bit of information that you need to know about the NCISS.
    We also end up discussing if the private security industry would eventually take over a larger share of the law enforcement services and you guys must absolutely listen to the whole episode to know what’s Wes take on that!
    Hope you enjoy this episode.

    Duke Speed is a living legend. Everywhere I’ve gone and every time I’ve heard his name it’s always been with respect and equity. This has always impressed me and so I was honored the first time I met him at my first Protector Symposium. He’s had an amazing career and has succeeded in many different areas for extended periods of time. Men like him always fascinate me and so I love to study them to see what exactly makes them special and helps them succeed.
    What I continue to find is a simple set of values and fundamentals that anyone can implement but that place a demand on the individual the few people are usually willing to pay at first.
    Over his career, Duke Speed has been to many places but the executive protection industry is and has been very lucky to have him. His brand of leadership, work ethic, and humility is truly a formula for success that can make us all better in many areas of life. This interview will give you insight into what it truly takes to succeed long-term in the executive protection industry… ENJOY!

  • Sam Jones - How To Transition Into Executive Protection (EPL Season 4 Podcast EP125 🎙️)
    This interview will give you a good realistic look into techniques, tactics and cheat codes for getting into executive protection and elevating your career.
    Sam Jones, he’s a man with an impressive background in mixed martial arts who chose to transition into executive protection. I love doing interviews like this because they show people exactly what is possible when it comes to getting into this industry. I believe it was a matter of months from the time he trained with me in the Executive Protection Training Day Success Package (https://www.executiveprotectiontrainingday.com/) online to the time he was in the game, signed up with a few companies doing domestic private security contracting. And now as a result of doing hard work, his reputation is beginning to proceed him.
    As I always say, that’s how it starts… One of the beauties of being able to train agents and continue working with them as we do our careers together at the League of Executive Protection Specialists is that I get to share in all of their victories. Sam deserves everything he’s earned and more and I’m looking forward to watching him enjoy many more victories and impact our industry positively for years to come.
    If you’re wondering what it looks like, feels like and sounds like to break into the industry and begin gaining traction then this episode is for you. Enjoy!

  • Beyond the Armor - Season 4 Episode 125 - BYRON RODGERS
    This is a brief glimpse into the soul of a young man's journey from a Third World country, a broken home, through the Marine Corps infantry and into the executive protection profession. I now serve the world as a Protector. With the expressed mission of multiplying protectors both professionally and simply necessarily throughout the world. I know that we together can make the world a safer place by helping good people to become more willing, capable, and prepared to protect. But my journey wasn’t always easy… And this amazing interview was conducted by Sentinel Security Plus out of Toronto, Canada. We dive deep into various challenges and struggles that helped me become the man that I am today.
    I pray that this brief conversation can give each listener an insight into the tools I’ve used by the grace of God to transmute my life from something broken, imperfect and common; into something more than I ever could’ve dreamed I could’ve been. At the end of the day, I simply want you all to look at me and see what one imperfect man or woman can do if you simply sacrifice your imperfection on the altar of consistent progress over the course of a lifetime.
    1 Corinthians 15:10
    10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
    Big special thank you to Constantine and Michael of Sentinel Security Plus, our executive protection lifestyle Canada chapter for producing this amazing piece of media.
    Semper Fi, do or die, death before dishonor.

  • Season III EP 124: How to go from Bouncer to Executive Protection Specialist
    Steve has an amazing story when it comes to how he’s gotten into the executive protection game. Over the years I’ve met many different private security professionals in various areas of our private security industry that have wanted to get into executive protection. Whether it was a guy at the door of the club, an agent I met at the venue we were moving through, or even hotel security, I’ve had many conversations with professionals who want to get into the executive protection side of what we do.
    The interesting thing about these conversations is that I always tell them the exact same thing… It’s a bit counterintuitive but it is the truth. I built my Executive Protection career on the East Coast and the West Coast from a bouncing position at either a local bar in Orange County, California, or a high-end club in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I’ve lived it and I know that if you have the right values, skills, work ethic, and approach, opportunities will find you. The beauty of this interview is simply that Steve and I go back and forth about how this formula works and has worked in both of our lives not only to elevate us from one position to the next but also from the club to working C suite executives and “A” list talent.
    Steve is an exemplary agent with a background as a United States Marine. He has been running crews out here in Southern California and is now building his books out in Texas. I reached out to him for a number of things from time to time and he always delivers in spades and so it was an honor to bring him on the show and listen to him tell his story. This podcast isn’t always about having the most popular guys in the industry be heard but it’s also about hearing everyone at every level of our game. Newcomers to the industry, guys who are building their businesses and yes those we’ve all been impressed by. At the end of the day, this is a place for the industry to be heard not just the few at the top but all of us. Steve is one of the best representations of what I hope many of us strive to be in the executive protection game… There’s something in this for everyone as always… ENJOY!

  • Season III EP 123: How to be a Successful Female EP Agent
    As always I’m looking for solid agents and good people to elevate in the game of executive protection. I’m always exceptionally delighted when I stumble across a female agent who has her priorities straight and is representing her demographic of professional protectors who make invaluable contributions to our industry. Zoila is definitely one of them and it was an honor to spend this time getting to know her and crystallizing her journey up until this point. She’s had an amazing mixed martial arts career already which I believe gave her many of the correct values to be successful and pretty much anything she wants to do next in life however I was very delighted to hear that her experience with this career is also extremely meaningful to her and has given her quality of life she truly enjoys.
    She is relatively new to the game still and in my opinion that makes these conversations even more interesting because those of us with more experience in the game can learn what it’s like for the newcomers we are seeking to attract to our businesses hopefully hire and wore those we manage at various accounts. Additionally, all the other newcomers to the game can learn what is truly working and elevate their skills in order to also achieve success in our industry with regards to their careers.
    Zoila is definitely one of the special ones with the right engine designed to take her far and values to keep her from falling into most of the pitfalls that beset even the best of us at times. I have lots of faith in her and believe that our industry is much better with her in it and also with the participation of others who take note of the success codes she lays down during this interview.
    We covered a number of different topics both within the industry in terms of female operatives, good executive protection work, covert protection experiences and many other things. We also covered various other protection topics such as females for martial arts, when should you start how young should you start them and what art forms work the best with the feminine form…
    There is so much good information in this podcast for everyone, please sit back and enjoy.

  • Season III EP 121: A Bodyguard in the Mix
    As I aim to explore, understand, call and expose different market segments of the executive protection industry with the listeners of this podcast, recently I decided to dive into a client demographic I haven’t dug into that much on this podcast. To be completely honest when I started this podcast I was worried I would run out of content or individuals to interview but the truth simply is… There’s still so much more to cover.
    The hip-hop scene is a part of our industry that can be a bit controversial amongst executive protection professionals and bodyguards. However in my opinion it’s also one of the highest threat environments in our game as many of the clients in that space have legitimate street beef‘s that spill over into their professional careers.
    Big E is one of the most highly recommended professionals in that space and during this episode, I have the honor of going deep with him into what that game has been like. He’s worked with many of the biggest names, ran teams all over the world and is a living legend within that space. He’s also a very respectable man and a genuine friend!
    His street credit and reputation definitely precedes him and if any of the listeners are thinking about playing this game then this is definitely the interview for you. The rap game very often is one place where the rubber meets the road for real in executive protection.… ENJOY!

  • E.P. Specialists - Executive Protection Training (EPL Season 3 Podcast EP120 🎙️)
    This podcast episode is a cumulative summary of the interactions that I have with the Executive Protection Training Day Success Package students. It's amazing to learn about their experience, answer their questions and discuss the various aspects of Executive Protection with my own experience. Our members have found tremendous success after joining the program as well as from the podcasts.
    One of the major advantages of the executive protection training day success package is the fact that you always have access to your instructor and your class. It’s only natural to retain a certain percentage of what you’re taught at any given time Period when you go to a school in person it’s an amazing experience and it has lots of value but over time that information degrades and leaks out of your awareness.
    With this online executive protection course, you’ll always have the class, you can go back and take it at any time. Beyond all of that, you’ll have the digital classroom and all of the relationships within the course to help move you towards success through networking. The third level of benefit to how we do it and simply that I’ll always be coaching and counseling with you multiple times per month through zoom meetings so we get to do our careers together and I’ll do everything I can to help you succeed as well.
    So, if you're on the edge and looking for a reason to join this program, watch the video till the end!
    Join us to make this year the best year of your executive protection career

  • Season III EP 119: How to stay safe with Steve Somerville
    This comes straight from our EPL Canada chapter with @sentinelsecurity
    Steve Summerville @summervillesteve is the President of Stay Safe and retired as a Staff Sergeant with the Toronto Police Service in 2001. Security Coordinator for the AIDS 2012 Washington, 2010 Vienna and 2008 conference in Mexico City (as well as AIDS 2006 in Toronto) and the SARS Concert in Downsview in 2003.
    Steve has extensive experience in all phases of Crisis Management Training, including Crisis Resolution, Tactical Communications, Defensive Tactics, Use of Force, and Restraints.
    He has been recognized as an Expert in the field, including every level of the judicial system from Criminal to Coroner’s Court. Steve continues to provide Expert opinions to Legal Firms, Judicial Systems, Coroner’s Court, etc
    Steve is an amazing human being. His level of competence when it comes to his chosen profession is exemplary and puts him within an elite class of professionals when it comes to what we do. Additionally the subject of “use of force“ is so terribly important yet so often overlooked that I believe his work it’s something we all need to pay much closer attention to. The reality simply is that we do so many things and invest our time/attention in so many areas but when it comes to this, we can do everything right and still lose everything without the right pieces in place.
    Spending time with Steve during this last Protector Symposium 4.0 has given me even more insight into who is as a person and I am beyond impressed with his humility, efficiency and care/concern for other human beings. While he is extremely technically confident, he is a man that genuinely cares and that is very special these days… Enjoy this episode because there’s something in here for every protector no matter what their walk of life is.
