If something is going wrong around you -- you want Greg Shaffer with you. If not, you want to listen to this interview to learn what he would do and read his book. Greg if the founding partner of the Shaffer Security Group and a 20 Year FBI Veteran, he served on the Hostage Rescue Team Tactical Operator (HRT), he is an FBI Certified Crisis Negotiator, Defensive Tactics Instructor, Paramedic and Close Quarter Battle Instructor. He takes us through how having a "Survival Mindset" and "Situational Awareness" can save your life when too often our first reaction is to freeze in fear, by explaining examples at the Pulse Nightclub Shooting, 80 killed on the street at Bastille Day in France and the El Paso Texas Walmart shooting.

We also have Skylar Stewart, Sr VP at Defendry, and Emergency Response Technology Solution Provider for companies and governments, who explains how they are on the cutting edge of using AI and software to identify threats before they happen and expedite emergency response.

We end with an incredible story from Greg about how, why and when the HRT was created and how their task is to find the "worst of the worst".
