⚜️ This episode is devoted to The League’s refined and proven blueprint for building a successful career as an executive protection agent. I’ve told our members in the past that there’s a place in this industry for everyone… those who’ve taken me up on the offer, have found their place, and are launching new and exciting careers in the private security industry.

Every two weeks I run a Zoom meeting for members to share new opportunities and help us all elevate our skills, strategies, marketing, and game together.

I did this episode to give you guys some insight into how our systems work, the success everyone is having, and the overall experience of support we all benefit from as we build our careers together.

Hear from our students and current League members as they share their advice and two-cent regarding our proven blueprint. Their first-hand testimony is truly powerful and priceless! They give insight into the value they are receiving from our training and networking. Furthermore, they demonstrate the contribution-centric culture we are building within our sister/brotherhood and the executive protection industry.

I’m sure every professional protector will learn from this cast!
