In the latest episode of ‘Learning to Fly’ our host, Bruce Mittman, sits down with Jeff Friedman, a seasoned security professional and “legend in the music community” with over 40 years in the biz. Jeff shares the story of how he got his unplanned start in the security business, working at small clubs around Boston, and his rise to becoming the head of Wizard Security, where he manages security for epic concerts. He recounts wild experiences with beloved big-time bands and describes how he managed large, rowdy crowds, including a now-infamous Green Day concert. While stressing the importance of establishing strong relationships within the music industry, Jeff reflects on the joy that has ultimately come from pursuing a passion-driven career over one focused solely on financial success.
