Summary

We’ve all seen heroic Bodyguards on film and TV, but how close are they to reality?

Will Geddes is the real deal. With 25 years as a security specialist, advising clients on a wide-range of risks and threats, he leads a team of former Special Forces, Government, and Intelligence Agency personnel.

He’s worked with high profile clients on close protection, extortions, blackmails, and counter terrorism, and he has some incredible stories to go with it.

Will shares his everyday carries, his riskiest moments, and his thought processes in high pressure situations.

This one is fascinating!
