PODCAST SERIES
International Executive Protection: The Advance, Start to Finish
Every international detail lives or dies on the advance. This series follows the entire arc of an international executive protection mission the way it actually unfolds in the field — from the moment the itinerary lands in your inbox, through building the advance package, working hotels, airports, and motorcades, running the movement, and closing the loop with an honest after-action review. Whether you run details for a family office, a corporate principal, or a government protectee, these thirteen episodes are the operational playbook, in order.
