EXECUTIVE PROTECTION LIFESTYLE

Violence teaches all of us so much about who we truly are at our very core. Jared is a man who has been there and has brought that knowledge back through his experiences and has used it all to make him a better police officer, instructor and warrior. Jared Reston is a modern day warrior. Not only for the things he’s accomplished and continues to accomplish every time he goes out on the job and writes a blank check in order to protect and serve the public but also for his mindset, ethos, and paradigm. This episode with him is one for the books. We talk about many things that only someone who has the types of experiences he has can talk about. I feel that conversations like this are truly sacred and I feel absolutely honored that he was willing to open up on the show in this way. I didn’t detect anything flashy or arrogant about him as he spoke about his experiences but what I believe shines through the brightest in our conversation is his humility and that he knows that he’s just a man who was put on this earth to do a hard job and also his dedication to putting himself between evil people and the innocent. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode with Jared and I believe anyone who listens to it will as well.

Dadi is one of those types of men that you meet and you genuinely want to believe that he’s just special, that he simply built from something different and that he naturally has always just been on another level. When you actually speak with him, however, it becomes dramatically apparent that he is extremely down-to-earth and while he definitely is on another level than most and brings with him the types of experiences most of us have only read or dreamed about, he is a very warm, caring and down-to-earth individual. During my time with him in the field, I learned many valuable lessons both about executive protection and about life. He is simply the type of leader I really wish could influence more agents in our field. He was forged in a nation under constant threat and his professional career has the stripes of real-world experience within the protection game. He maintains strict disciplines with regards to his physical fitness, diet and intellectual prowess which gives him a monk-like feel at times and when it is time to work a whole different side to him comes out altogether. I hope that this interview gives the listener the opportunity to benefit from Dadi in ways that will make us all better practitioners in the end.

Background: A Homeland Security expert with over 20 years of experience ranging from dignitary protection to aviation and diplomatic security. After a 22-year career in the Israeli prime minister’s office serving in a variety of security and managing positions, Dadi took his expertise to the private sector. He started his career as a special agent in the Israeli dignitary protection unit and moved on to operational and management positions. After serving as Chief Instructor of the Israeli Dignitary Protection Unit, Hewas posted overseas as the Security Manager of Israel's Diplomatic Mission and Aviation in Cairo, Egypt and as the Security Director of the Israeli Aviation in the US West coast. His last position in the Prime minister’s office was head of the branch, in charge of Direction and Regulation of Security overseas Facilities and Diplomatic Missions. Born and raised in Israel, He served in the I.D.F –Israeli Defense Forces, as a Special Forces Sergeant in a Counter Terrorism unit. Dadi holds a BA in logistics and Economics from Bar Ilan University, Israel.

Chris Sipe is a physical security professional, protector, and key leader within his organization and the security industry. He specializesin public figure/high profile personal protective services such as protective operations logistics inthe film studio safety and security sectors. He is currently, managing security and logisticalsupport programs for Netflix Studio’s marketing publicity campaigns as well asother studio focused public-facing special events, globally. Chris has his hand in any number of multiple security operations globally at any given time. He is managing various aspects of securing production from start to finish on multiple venues. This requires a level of organizational leadership and management that I believe anyone listening to this podcast can benefit from, not only with regards to private security but also leadership in business as well. Consequentially he’s also a fellow Marine Corps Infantryman and so us grunts were really able to get into step very quickly on this one, good episode! The Marine Corps really does know how to impart solid leadership qualities and if the individual has a decent value system, prospective, perceptive abilities and drive then success in life becomes more than possible; it becomes probable. This episode is designed to contribute those qualities to you on an individual level and also to the industry.

Ian is a firearms instructor who travels all across America training people in a number of different art forms and techniques designed to take human lives. What I like most about him is that he values education very highly, he sees himself as a teacher rather than simply an instructor: stating that the primary difference is simply that a teacher will help you understand while an instructor will simply demonstrate or show you. He has a mind that appreciates and has an affinity for philosophy, history, the psychology behind things such as meditation and various other modes to unlock once personal greatness. Because of these values wewere able to go very deeply into the psychology of training for combat, personal development andprinciples around stopping violence with violence. Ian was a line infantryman in the US Marine Corps with 3/2 (real recognizes real) who also spent time operating in Boston as a bouncer and an Executive Protection Agent. My conversation with Ian didn’t go at all the way I expected it to go and I was pleasantly surprised by that, I feel that this interview gives much more value than one would expect or be able to tell simply from the surface, so get it in!

This gear review with Alex was truly a fantastic time but most importantly it was about time. The technology many of us use for our earpieces and surveillance kits has long been outdated. Virtually every other type of your technology we use is much more sophisticated, giving us an actual speaker inside of our years, comfort, durability and dependability on a much higher level than the equipment many of us are actually working with to protect. To be honest I’m honored and genuinely elated to be one of the guys to give this product visibility stateside. The fact that this will increase people’s efficiency and also make work more pleasurable is genuinely very meaningful to me because I put in many long hours with my gear and still do on a daily basis. I do also know that many details in Europe are already running this kit and are very happy with it so we are just now getting caught up in this department.

• No more itchy rubber nipple in your ear causing ear fatigue.

• No more struggling to hear radio traffic through a tube with a speaker down at the bottom of it.

• No more brittle tubes that get clogged up with earwax or leak sound.

• No more sacrificing hearing in one of your ears during a protection detail in order to hear your radio.

• Now enjoy high-quality stereo sound, without sacrificing the hearing in one of your ears, and being annoyed by your earpiece from one heavy-duty, light weight and high-quality piece of equipment.

The stealth 360 system is heavy duty and everything is made out of medical grade equipment. It’s lightweight and its design will make it fit into your ear seamlessly. I know this sounds cliché but you will honestly forget that you are wearing it. Just like every other headset or earbuds you use; the speaker will now be seated right inside your ear for stereo quality sound every single time.

Remember that your work product is your calling card so there’s lots to be said for the quality of your gear. When other professionals see that you take yourself seriously and have quality gear, they will take you more seriously and they are also more likely to call you back for follow-on work because you’re leading the pack with cutting edge technology. Invest in yourself and others will not hesitate to invest in you as well. I wouldn’t put my name on it if I couldn’t back it up! You will be very happy with this piece of kit!

For an uncomfortably limited time I’ve got us a deal!

Active shooter incidents have become a reality of American culture that is relevant to all of us and is not going away anytime soon. According to the, “Gun Violence Archive” a total of 340 mass shooting incidents took place in 2018 which was just slightly less than the 346 mass shootings we saw in 2017. Beyond that a gun is not the only type of human threat that the evil people among us are using to kill the innocent. Vehicle, knife and arson attacks are also becoming more and more frequent here at home. Anytime, anyplace and anywhere you could find yourself in an active human threat situation.

Do you know what to do in order to increase your chances of survival?

Do family members know how to survive?

Is “run, hide, fight” enough and do you know when or how to do what?

Do you have a plan or strategy that will work regardless of your environment?

What principles increase the probability of survival and possibly even apprehension of the threat in life and death situations like these?

If your kids are at school, do they know what to do or how to survive?

These are the types of topics that myself and Michael Julian cover din depth during in this episode of EPL. This is one for everyone! send this episode to your friends, family and anyone who you love and want to give a better chance of survival to. You cannot physically be with everyone everywhere all the time in order to protect them but you can equip them with information that will empower them to protect themselves.

Michael Julian

Business ethics will ultimately dictate the success of an individual or a company in any industry in my opinion. Over the years in the military and during my time in the private security profession, I’ve seen people rise and fall based on their business ethics. This law and principal seem to run parallel in every aspect of business, profession and life because both business, professionalism and many different types of success really all depend on relationships. Something that is true and that many people do not consider is simply that relationships are the result of many different common value systems and the aligning of motivations and goals but ultimately the outcome of relationships usually ends up being dictated by the character of the people in the relationship. Business ethics is something that should be heavily studied, considered and understood because just like your character, your business ethics will ultimately decide where you end up at the end of the day. There is no hiding from the inevitability of reparations, results and manifestations in your life that will come about as a result of your character and the professional relationships you are able to keep, maintain and benefit from will be a direct result of the quality of your business ethics.

Michael Julian has done many things in the industry but most importantly he has been in the industry successfully operating for a number of years and one of his companies has been up and running for over five decades now. As a professional who investigates workplace crimes on a regular basis and as a successful businessman in our industry, he had some very valuable things to say on the above-mentioned topic.

Ivor Terret

My time with Ivor was fantastic as it always is. He is a consummate professional with no need for bravado because he knows his practice and specialties inside and out. With a career that spans well over two decades his kindness and humility is that of a man that genuinely has nothing left to prove besides his drive for contribution and his love for his fellow man. The contribution that I’m most familiar with that Ivor is making is around covert protection strategies and this component of private security is gaining momentum and popularity very quickly. No matter what type of security detail you are currently running I believe there are definitely tools that can be borrowed from this discipline that will simply improve the overall quality of your security strategy.

Ivor Bio

Ivor Terret, is currently based in Israel, where upon leaving national service in the Israel Defense force and Israeli Police he was selected to help found and architect a government Surveillance Detection and Covert Security Unit tasked with protecting Heads of State and Strategic Sites. Prior to joining the unit, Ivor was the first in South Africa to lead a security organization securing 60 medium to high risk faith related sites in Cape Town.

Ivor has designed and implemented security master plans for covert counter terror units, high-risk facilities, protective details and has consulted on a myriad of projects including mass transport hubs, business parks, hotels, residences, high risk facilities and factories.

Ivor brings over two decades of international counter terror experience at both the official and private sector levels including instructing hundreds of students from high-risk facility security teams, government covert VIP units, government Surveillance Detection units, hotel security senior management, aviation security personnel and senior management, specialized law enforcement and counter terror units as well as corporate EP and SD units.

Ivor met the stringent standards for teaching counter terror security procedures as set forth by the Israeli Police Force and has delivered counter terrorism focused security training to security forces working in high risk areas within Israel.

Ivor enjoys public speaking and has presented at London's Counter Terror Expo, numerous occasions at ASIS international conferences and regularly appears as a security expert on international news shows.

Ivor holds an MSc in Security and Risk Management from the University of Leicester where he was awarded the esteemed Dissertation of the Year Award for his research. Ivor is the elected Chairperson of the ASIS Israel Chapter for year 2016 and 2017.

Ed Calderon interview

This interview with Ed went to a place that not many of the conversations on this podcast have gone. Because of his time operating in the darkness of Mexico Ed is now enabled to teach the innocent and the protectors of the light how to not only survive but thrive in high threat environments. This interview got dark as we talked about techniques, tactics, principles, trends and patterns used by cartels, criminals, human traffickers and Drug lords South of the border and also within the United States of America.

For over a decade Ed Calderon worked in the fields of counter narcotics, organized crime investigation, and public safety in the northern-border region of Mexico. During this period, he also coordinated and worked executive protection details for high-level government officials and visiting dignitaries — often in some of the most dangerous parts of the country.

Just to give you some perspective on the human trafficking academic south of the border, here are some numbers published by the Latin Times, Mexico experienced a 245-percent increase in kidnapping between 2003 and 2013. To put hard numbers on that, in 2003, an average of 34 people were released from kidnaps each month. In 2009, that number was up to 96 per month. By 2013 it was 1,162 per month. During this interview Ed fills us in on cartel techniques, tactics and patterns while also helping us understand how to make ourselves and our loved one’s harder targets during our everyday lives. This is only part one in a two podcast series so stay tuned for the next episode that will drop next week Monday morning.
