  • Instructor Zero - Gunfighting & Training(EPL Season 4 Podcast 🎙️)
    ⚜️⚜️⚜️
    This episode was a clinic. I learned quite a bit just sitting there listening to the information structure. We speak about the humanity of a protector, the reality that many don’t want to admit and avoid while pretending to be a little more tactical than is even realistic sometimes. We spoke about ways to become better, hard skills, soft skills and we really focused on vehicle Combatives/Glen fighting around cars because that is his subject at the Protector Symposium 5.0. This episode is one of the most intense episodes I’ve done in a long time because of his in-depth knowledge on this subject matter and firearms is so deep. It was really valuable to listen as an instructor myself as Zero painted a picture and gave solid instruction on many topics.
    What I love about instructor Zero is his heart from what I can see during my interactions with them. He’s extremely passionate, always over-delivers, really cares, and he‘s old-school. So, his code is based on honor. He is an accomplished academic with a background as a professor. An accomplished instructor, teaching elite fighting forces internationally throughout the year. And he is most of all, a genuine person and to me that means everything. We are honored to have him at the Protector Symposium coming up. Don’t miss this, it is genuinely the training event opportunity of a lifetime!
    ⭕ ABOUT Instructor Zero @instructorzero
    The infamous instructor is flying over the pond to join and train us during this live event. He’s been operational and instructing for well over a decade on many continents, teaching many of the world's fighting forces the skills they need to be effective out in the field.
    As we know most violent encounters happen while we are in transitional spaces moving from a safe location such as our home or office building to another safe location such as a vehicle in many cases. This course will equip our patrons with the skills necessary to have a notable tactical advantage during a gunfight in these types of environments.

  • Byron Rodgers- Men of Peace (EPL Season 4 Podcast 🎙️)
    This podcast has been developed from my absolute favorite pieces of work done by Matthew Vivanco of Angstadt Arms @angstadtarms
    They brought me out to North Carolina to do a bit of a documentary about what it’s like to be a professional protector. I think what was most beautiful about this is it weaves together very nicely the reality of what it means to be a protector by nature and by trade.
    You’ll see my life behind the scenes, you will be able to enter my thoughts when doing what we do as professional protectors and you’ll get to see the end product as I move with a principal on the daily flow.
    We put our heart and soul into this work and I know that for those in the game who are truly about being legitimate protectors, this will resonate.
    It’s such an honor to contribute and to be connected with so many amazing people on all of these platforms and when doing honorable pieces of contracts like these.
    Huge thanks to the Angstadt Arms team and to all of you following and sharing this contact with the world.
    Let’s make the world a safer place by helping good people to become more dangerous. Protectors are the white blood cells in the body of humanity.

    What does a warrior do when he is no longer in war?
    Does the fighter within become dormant?
    Does it cease to exist?
    Or does the warrior evolve into into something more.

  • Rick Sweeney - Be a Legitimate Protector (EPL Season 4 Podcast EP142 🎙️)
    There are so many opinions out there about training and what is not needed. I read in some of the groups that some people think our training goes a little bit overboard when it comes to hard skills. To me, it seems like we come from different worlds but work in the same industry. I don’t understand how private security professionals can ever consider themselves legitimate protectors without knowing that they’ve mastered certain hard skills.
    In Executive Protection everything may go as planned most of the time but does that mean we don’t plan for when they go wrong? For me being a legitimate protector has always been about mastering the soft skills to ensure that principals experience the highest level of service on a day-to-day basis; while cultivating a level of fierce proficiency with the hard skills while not at work to ensure that that level of performance and service is reliable as well.
    That’s the scary thing about the HARD SKILLS… You use the soft skills every day and if you aren’t careful you can be sung to sleep by this reality and let your hard skills simply fade. Fortunately, the Marine Corps and my time in combat have already taught me how dangerous complacency is. I know that what you do while you’re not at work is what makes you a legitimate protector.
    The Hard Skills Intensive is the course designed to help you cultivate those skills annually.
    At the end of the day, our clients hire us for actual protection, and in order to have integrity with who and what we are we must be capable of physically protecting other people no matter what trouble arises. We must be legitimate protectors and that’s what this episode is all about.
    I chose to do this episode while on a little bit of an operation South of the border with our training Director at the League of Executive Protection Specialists, Rick Sweeney. He’s the best Executive Protection instructor I’ve ever learned from and we are absolutely honored to have him. He’s been doing high-threat executive protection and training agents for over a decade now.
    Our goal with the EPS League is to raise the standard of training of Executive Protection agents out there in the game. The League is the one place in the industry that specializes in training high-threat in high-contact Executive Protection. There are many phenomenal training options out there but we want to train you to be comfortable on your worst day at the job!
    Join the league, join the brotherhood, and become part of the gold standard.

    There’s so much for everyone in this episode, pass it around and ENJOY!

  • Byron Rodgers - Executive Protection as a Recession-Proof Career(EPL Season 4 Podcast EP140 🎙️)
    There has never been a better time to join the executive protection industry. As many of you know we are facing at certain times and the fear index is up. We’ve seen home robberies and crime increase tremendously in the United States and around the world. The Japanese Prime Minister was assassinated last week in the world is realizing that they need more professional Protectors.
    Active shooters and active human threat scenarios are happening more and more these days and what this means to you as a private security professional is that our skills are more in demand now than they have ever been before. During this episode, I share a webinar I did a month ago talking about these topics in detail in order to help paint the picture that I’m getting feedback about from clients, principles and corporations out of the field on frequently…
    Our industry is going parabolic and it’s only going to continue growing as the world continues to get more and more unstable. We’ve all heard rumors of recessions, food shortages and things of that nature in store for the future so this episode is about how you can elevate your career or get into an industry that is only going to thrive in the chaos.
    Admittedly I do talk about our executive protection training because I want legitimate professionals to do this work. My goal has always been to contribute to the quality of the professionals in this industry in order to give back to our honorable profession and this is just one more tool I’m giving you to take things to the next level.
    If you’ve been on the fence, the time is now to get in the game or to reconfigure your career so you can take things to the next level… ENJOY

  • Jeff Takeda - How Warriors Develop Mental Strength (EPL Season 4 Podcast EP139 🎙️)
    Jeff Takeda is bringing some things back that have always been a part of many different warrior cultures. He is one of our master class instructors at the League of Executive Protection Specialists and his module is pretty amazing. Check more on that here: https://www.epspecialist.com/
    I believe it’s a discipline that we have unfortunately overlooked and forgotten these days but it can bring us all considerable strength. For the warrior, it’s even more important however to stay grounded mentally emotionally, and spiritually. I believe it is unfortunate that mindfulness and meditation have gotten such a bad rep in some circles or that it is believed that these things are strictly a religious phenomenon.
    The reality however is simply that these disciplines are a way of strengthening yourself internally and psychologically. All major religions talk about this discipline because it is something the human being needs from time to time. The art of quieting the mind is so good for us and even better for those of us who must perform at high levels under extreme and stressful, circumstances. This will not just help you in the heat of battle but this will also help you with the fight some of us have to find after the battle.
    There really is something for everyone in this episode and if you want a period of instruction from Jeff on this topic then do join us for the master class membership.

  • Black Hawk Down with Hooten Young(EPL Season 4 Podcast EP137 🎙️)
    Former Special Operations Soldier, Master Sgt. Norman Hooten notably known for his portrayal by Eric Bana in the film Black Hawk Down, he’s honestly the type of man I hope to be one day. When it comes to warfare in combat he has been there and done that but most importantly it has equipped him with a mental and emotional stance that should be studied very deeply. There are the men you meet that deserve respect because of what they’ve done but it is always truly priceless to meet a man who you can also respect for who he is as well as what he’s done. Norman Hooten is the type of man who, I could sit and listen to and learn from for as long as he would have me. He has led men in battle on many occasions both in distant lands, as well as here at home as we struggle in the first civilian division as veterans.
    By the way, his whiskey brand is pretty amazing as well and exists for all of the right reasons. Hooten Young was founded by Norm Hooten and Tim Young. Created as a brotherhood bonded by the love of freedom, family and honor, Hooten Young is a tribute to the brave men and women of the armed forces who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
    Hooten is a true American hero. While retired from active military duty, he continues to work with veterans today as a full-time health care provider. In addition to his medical work, Hooten has partnered with his closest friends to create an American Whiskey to honor the brave men and women of the armed forces.
    It was truly an honor to have him on the podcast, and I know y'all will love this episode as much as I did! ENJOY.

  • Alex Turner - The Athletes Bodyguard and the Making (EPL Season 4 Podcast EP136 🎙️)
    Alex Turner is a client-focused performance mobilizer with considerable experience in business operations and team leadership. His professional focal points include operations management, performance development, project planning/coordination, sales strategy/business growth, armed security measures, team leadership, client relations and customer service.
    The thing I like about him most however is his heart. He truly does value connection with people, He values relationships and people like this make all the difference. He truly desires to render honorable service to his client,s principals and shareholders and that really stands out. He may not have a military or law-enforcement background but he does his job with the pride of a professional athlete and that is felt. It’s been an honor and privilege to work with Alex in the ways that I have and I’m looking forward to watching him serve those who believe in him with excellence for years to come. I’m sure I will see him at the top of this game one day.
    Currently, he is running both a private security business as an independent contractor and a performance training firm that specializes in incorporating physical fitness into firearms skills development. As a Private Security Professional, he has a history of overseeing large-scale teams of personnel, inventory, and loss prevention efforts to develop and implement people, property, and information protection programs.
    His company Citadel Performance Training integrates his experience as a sports performance program director and an arms dealer, providing physical fitness regimes that empower clients to perform better with firearms and be their own best defender.
    Bringing him on the show was a no-brainer because I believe his story speaks to so many agents who are trying to find their way in the industry. If you’re looking to hear more about how to achieve success in our industry and gain the attention of a specific target demographic of a client, then listen up this episode is for you.
