We're Brett McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

When celebrities, dignitaries, and executives go out and about and travel around the world,

they're often surrounded by bodyguards whose job is to protect them and their loved ones.

My guest day offers a look at what's involved in offering these professional protective

services for VIPs and how average citizens can apply the same principles to protect themselves

and their families.

His name is Todd Foxx, he's an extensive military law enforcement background and he's the

founder of Close Protection Corps and the author of Protection 4 and From Humanity.

Todd and I discuss why the soft skills around mindset constitute the foundation of personal

protection and the prep work that's necessary to keep both VIPs and normal folks safe, including

the process of advancing.

It's called advancing, we're talking about what that is, and assistant from the Vietnam

We then discuss what you can learn from the Marine Combat Hunter program, the Cooper

Colour Code and the Udalupe develop better situational awareness and we enter conversation with

the hard skills you should learn to protect yourself and the order you should learn them

in.
