When security-minded Andy Murphy was a teenager, he realized his safety was his own responsibility and now, with the Secured Dad podcast, he educates parents on how to keep their families safe from home, in public and online, challenging them to take ownership of their own security.

"My safety was my own responsibility. I started to develop my own version of what is today called situational awareness. That was not something that existed or that term didn't exist back then. And so I tried to think about, okay, if something bad happens, how do I get away? If I were going to do something bad, how would I do it? So I reverse engineer that to look at, okay, so what do I need to do to keep myself safe?" - Andy Murphy
