The beautiful thing about these types of operations is that they are also applicable to active shooter/active human threat situations as well as virtually every different type of private security detail; so standby for some valuable real-world content and don’t worry we also recorded another episode all about surveillance for those of you who follow Ami for those tactics as well.

This episode has been a long time coming! I have been getting numerous requests to begin generating content having more to do with female protection agents and I am beginning to answer that call. After working with Rachel in the past and being pleasantly surprised with her work product, I was pleased when she agreed to come on the show. As with anyone who’s been in this industry long enough, I’ve seen good female agents and bad ones over the years but I haven’t run into many that take protection as serious as Rachel does.

Having met her at a shooting range before working with her and knowing what I know about her other entrepreneurial endeavors, Rachel has proven to have both the hard skills and soft skills necessary for being successful in our industry. So, when I heard that she is right at home on a high-level protection detail at present, I was not in the least bit surprised. This episode is packed with so much and good content around both of the sexes and executive protection from both perspectives that I suggest everyone stops and listens to it. I hear some people saying that we shouldn’t make sex an issue but in reality, there are differences so why not face them, understand them, study them, converse about them in order to learn how to best leverage them. ENJOY!

Elijah Shaw EDC

Elijah Shaw is an industry professional that I have respected for a very long time. His company icon is a name that is well known and has proven itself in the industry by working with various celebrities on an international level for years. They also conduct high-quality training for private security professionals as well that has gained considerable recognition within the industry. Additionally, his latest book, “Celebrity Protection and Touring: A guide to mastering the business of VIP security,” has easily become one of the most influential books to the private security game this year (2019). I was absolutely honored to have him on the show for EPISODE 6 “Own Your Space” when we first started this podcast, that episode has since gone down as one of our favorite and most viewed conversations.

Elijah is the type of individual who is packed with experiential knowledge that he gives freely in every interaction I’ve had with him, he sees to the root of things and is able to articulate information in a way that is very beneficial to the listener.

In this episode, we go over his EDC, pocket items and the gear he brings with him when traveling. This episode will be a quantum leap in private security game for many of you, some of the stuff he dropped in here was even light years ahead of me, so I also leveled up as a result of this conversation. ENJOY!

Many of us work as protectors to high net worth individuals on a daily basis but how many of us truly have our homes secured properly?

Maybe we specialize in asset protection, close protection, church security or cybersecurity but does that mean that we automatically know how to secure our families at home while we are gone?

This is a subject and these are the types of questions I’ve asked myself for years as I’ve traveled the world and have had to leave loved ones frequently. This episode is all about how to help protect what is near and dear to each of us. Andy Murphy runs another popular podcast all about personal protection and how to keep your family safe called the “Secure Dad” podcast. He specializes in teaching people how to keep themselves and their families safe, it is for this reason I invited him on our podcast to share some techniques, tactics, and knowledge about how we can improve the defenses of our backfield when we are away on various operations.

"The Secure Dad empowers fathers to lead safer, more secure families giving them the freedom to enjoy the blessings of life."

A security officer was forced to shoot Samuel Williams, 33, outside of the 3208 entertainment complex on LongAvenue in Huntsville at 12:40 a.m. Dec. 31. Some are calling her a hero, but she says she was just doing her job. That Security Officer’s First name is Toya and she goes by the name of Trilltoyaonline. My conversation with her during this interview was very intriguing. With a background in the Army and the training, she gives herself, she contracts herself out as a solo female operator to local venues as a security asset. Apparently, she’s worth every dollar she charges and more based on the results of her last contact with an AK-47 wielding military age male aggressor.“Once he started to make moves towards the door, he was still firing off shots. I decided I had to make a choice to go ahead and stop him from entering the club. I fired off two shots. He went down,” Latoya stated. Huntsville police say Samuel Williams returned from a vehicle with a black AK-47 rifle and began firing shots while advancing toward the club entrance.

What I found most impressive aboutToyais that she was not on some mission to try to be anything she isn't naturally. Instead, she came across as the type of person who is all about accentuating her strengths, working to improve upon her weaknesses and deliver a work product that is in alignment with her drive to contribute on a very high level in the security industry. She is out there earning her stripes, building her company from the ground up as an owner-operator and constantly seeking to improve on herself and the environments she is trusted to influence. This interview dives deeply into the mind of a young woman who is building what seems to be a promising and lasting future in the private security industry, it encompasses her real-world combat experience and also offers insight into a woman’s experience working in the private sector. I guarantee that this interview has something to offer that many of you will not see coming... ENJOY!

The aim of this conversation was truly to understand the nuts and bolts of selecting and carrying a concealed weapon with no glitz and glamour, just a man training for a few special occasions that he hopes he never has to show up for. Mickey has been studying and training in personal protection for most of his adult life. His content and videos of real-world principles and concepts concerning all things firearms is really what prompted this conversation. After really digging in, it became apparent that Mickey has really grown up into the realm of personal protection as a result of a number of tragedies and experiences with death that he had throughout his life. Everything from how to select your first weapon to ammo selection and holster preferences and how to tell if someone else is wearing a firearm is covered in this interview. Conversely, we go deep into a number of different topics that are not firearms related but have to do with various other governing principles of personal protection as well. Enjoy!

Owner and Instructor Mickey Schuch is a firearm instructor, for Pistol, Rifle, Shotguns, Personal Protection Inside the Home and Personal Protection Outside the Home, a Range Safety Officer and a member of Illinois Tactical Officers Association.

He is a graduate of Massad Ayoob Group, Midwest Training Group, Tac Med Essentials, as well as many others. Personally, he attends over 160 hours of training per year as a student in courses covering topics such as battlefield medicine to a long-range precision rifle with some of the best and brightest instructors in the world.

Mickey is also the President of a not-for-profit, McHenry County Right to Carry Association, a group that is dedicated to effecting change in the legislation pertaining to self-defense, 2nd amendment freedoms and to educating the public on self-defense laws and best practices.

He spends most of his days either conducting live fire training or working to promote and protect second amendment rights. At night you can find him at home running dry-fire drills with his kids or smoking some pork in the back yard.

Jared has done very well for himself in the private security industry. He is an innovator, a leader in many respects, a veteran and still a very young man. Something else I always find interesting, intriguing but not surprising is that he does not have any prior law enforcement or military experience. I look at him as yet another poster child for the reality that this job does not require you to have a high-speed background in order to be successful. In many cases I’ve seen high-speed backgrounds hinder agents from rising past a certain point of development and I’ve even seen it cause professionals to lose their seat at the table in cases where they fail to adapt to the new playing field of the private security game. Jared always wanted to become an executive protection agent and now that he is become so much more than just an agent, listening to his story is both tactically valuable for success and inspirational. When I run into people who think that the reason, they are not succeeding in the private security industry has to do with their lack of tactical background, I genuinely wonder what they truly know about what we do, because executive protection is much more of a dance with concierge, social dynamics and logistics than it is combat tactics most of the time. The key to success has more to do with your work product and your network than anything else, add compassion, nonstandard problem-solving skills along with an entrepreneurial mind and you have Jared. ENJOY!

What I like most about Mike is simply that he is a warrior who is still in the game and can still do extraordinary things. He the type of guy who will explain to you in conversation why he does what he does and hope you try to call BS on it so he can actually show you.No smoke and mirrors, no magic beans, no snake oil and absolutely no shortcuts with Mike.

He’s extremely intelligent, articulate and he’s got a lot to give so talking to him can be like trying to drink out of a fire hose if you are not on the level or if he doesn’t choose to break things down for you. With all that having been said he can deconstruct concepts and explain them in a way I haven’t really seen before. Mike and I went on a journey in this episode that is just simply something you're going to have to listen to in order to understand. We transverse a myriad of topics ranging from his time in multiple outfits of our United States Army special forces such as Marine CorpsRecon, Army special forces and also Delta force AKA “The Unit” on into his time as the first operations manager for Triple Canopy.

Where else can you listen in on conversations and learn from people like this? I consider Mike to be a natural leader, someone we can all learn froma.k.a.afantastic mentor and also a man that I am honored to be able to associate with from time to time.

As usual, my time with him was not only an honor but extremely informative, inspirational and thought-provoking. The best part is, this is only episode one, I’ll drop the next episode as we get a little further down range, ENJOY!P.S. This is the only episode one of a two-part series so standby for the next episode. Background: Mike Pannone is a former operational member of U.S. Marine Reconnaissance, Army SpecialForces (Green Beret) and 1st SFOD-D (Delta) as well as a competition USPSA pistol shooter holding a Master class ranking in Limited, Limited-10 and Production divisions.
