Frequent travel can start to feel pretty routine, which is why small moments like this stand out - a thoughtful note from the fantastic crew on last night’s flight to Seattle on @AmericanAir, a simple gesture, but it makes a difference.

Shawn Ryan Show interview with Brian Harpole is a must-watch for every protection professional. Interviews like this are extremely rare, and so are people like Brian Harpole. Take the opportunity to watch/listen and learn. and hopefully some humility.
Rest in peace, Charlie.

Let’s talk about secure / private devices.
What are the pros and cons? What should you consider in a secure / private device? Which is best? Perhaps this is a good topic for a webinar???

Did you know you can set up and host your own VPN???
Using a @Raspberry_Pi (shown, sitting on my desk at home), the @WireGuardVPN app (iOS, Android, Mac, PC) and PiVPN (a simple setup script for Raspberry Pi or any Linux server), you can create a private VPN in under an hour. Benefits:
• Total control over your data and connection
• Encrypted, modern, and secure protocol
• No monthly subscription fees!

Whether you’re securing your connections, remote access to your home network, or just nerding out 🤓 — this is a cool DIY project! Let me know if interested in this more and I can share what to buy and what to do!

“What if everything you did professionally was being recorded from dozens of angles—and every second was analyzed for hours?”

That’s the question NFL star Larry Fitzgerald posed to a group of executives at a pre-game Super Bowl event - and his message was clear: performance starts with mindset.

If you approached your job knowing every move was being scrutinized like game tape—would it change how you work? Your attention to detail? Your preparation? Your effort?

That level of accountability is a mindset shift we can all make to raise our standards.

Get some cool gear for Christmas?
That’s awesome! But remember, with a great gift comes great responsibility. Whether it’s a new firearm or another tool of the trade, it deserves your respect and discipline.

Like Buddy the elf says, remember the 4 Safety Rules: Treat, Keep, Never, Always

1️⃣ Treat every weapon as if it’s always dangerous. Loaded or unloaded, never get complacent.
2️⃣ Keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to fire. You are the ultimate safety mechanism.
3️⃣ Never point the weapon at anything you don’t intend to shoot. Mistakes happen, but a safe direction prevents a tragedy.
4️⃣ Always know your target, what’s beyond and in between. Awareness is everything.

Stay safe, and give your gear the respect it deserves! 🎁 🎄
