His company icon is a name that is well known and has proven itself in the industry by working with various celebrities on an international level for years. They also conduct high-quality training for private security professionals as well that has gained considerable recognition within the industry. Additionally, his latest book, “Celebrity Protection and Touring: A guide to mastering the business of VIP security,” has easily become one of the most influential books to the private security game this year (2019). I was absolutely honored to have him on the show for EPISODE 6 “Own Your Space” when we first started this podcast, that episode has since gone down as one of our favorite and most viewed conversations. Elijah is the type of individual who is packed with experiential knowledge that he gives freely in every interaction I’ve had with him, he sees to the root of things and is able to articulate information in a way that is very beneficial to the listener. In this episode, we go over his EDC, pocket items and the gear he brings with him when traveling.
