Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on the show to talk about

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: your company in The Guardian. Like I said, I've been

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: in a position I owned a couple of businesses and

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: one was a comedy club, and I use the term.

28
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: I hope I'm not being a unprofessional. I say this

29
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: rent a cop. And that's when we said, when you're

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: a rent a cop man, come by and make sure

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: our place is protected. And now those are the type

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: of people that you provide when I say the term

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: rent a cop.

34
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: So no, we don't I don't find an offensive or

35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: we don't use the word rent a cop. You know,

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: when you think of a rent a cop, you think

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: of an off duty officer. You think of someone who

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: has that legal ability to either arrest or detain. You know,

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: for us is more of our first thing is about safety,

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: and it's more of working with our clients to build

41
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 3: a tailor made uh tailor made option for them in

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: their security, in their security efforts. You know, it's more

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: of a partnership of us working with them to make

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: sure all of their security needs are met.

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: Now we've used the word partnership.

46
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: That means that I can set the standards of the

47
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: type of security I want based on the attending event.

48
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 3: Correct, absolutely, you know, prior to us the assignment or

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: the start date of the services we work with. We

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: sit down with our client and we talk to them

51
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: and we tailor make we customize, you know, their security needs.

52
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: If they are a medical facility, that works for for example,

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: we have a medical facility for rehabilitations for children, so

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: we use a guard that is more customer friendly, more

55
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: more personable, has a more of an open and polite

56
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: personality than more of the physical presence. Right for some

57
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: of the for some of the locations that we may

58
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: have like an hotel or warehouse, you know, we may

59
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: use more of a physical preference there. So you know,

60
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: it's a terrible approach. We sit down with our clients.

61
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: We sit there, we listen to all their needs, all

62
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: their wants, all their concerns, and we work together again

63
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: like a partners would work together.

64
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: What Travis, you got that great voice man that comes

65
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: from that twenty five years of HR experience.

66
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: Hope it does. You have to have the calming voice

67
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: to speak to some of these employees. Some make it violent.

68
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: You got to be able to calm them down. You

69
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: got to be able to talk to them and meet

70
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: them where they are. So that's something that you learn

71
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: with over twenty five years dealing with employees crazy non crazy.

72
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: You know, it's fun though. I love it. I love

73
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: what I did.

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: Now, this is really interesting because of the fact that

75
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: whenever I hate the word, you know, private investigation, you know,

76
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: I take I think TV TV, you know, because because

77
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: that's all I because I've never actually actually not I've

78
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: never called upon anybody to from a private investigator. Stay

79
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: break down, you know, the non TV version of what

80
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: private investigation really is all about.

81
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's not all the you know, we're not

82
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 3: looking into who may murder the neighbor or anything like that.

83
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 3: We're not looking and stuff like that. Most of the time.

84
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: You know, in the corporate world, it's more so looking inside,

85
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 3: coming into their corporate environment and finding out certain things. Right,

86
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: they can have maybe some inventory missing, right, they can

87
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: maybe have some some some uh uh uh, you know,

88
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: some money missing from a till or something, or from

89
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: somebody's money box or something like that. It's for us

90
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: investigating that also some investigations as far as you know,

91
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 3: maybe someone who was assaulted by a of employee or

92
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: something like that. We go in and it's just information

93
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 3: that can be provided. If there's any lawsuits or any

94
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: insurance claims or anything like that, we provide in that

95
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: information that we found an investigation.

96
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: So I won't call you if I thank my girlfriend

97
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: cheating no meat and you follow around.

98
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: You wouldn't do that, you know, because you would call

99
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 3: that MTV show a cheater. They'll do that. But for

100
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: for for us, you know, we concentrate on the corporate

101
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: environment and also small businesses. Now we don't leave our

102
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: small business partners you know, out of the fold there.

103
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: But it's more of a corporate environment. And when we

104
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: talk about private.

105
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Business, let's let's break that down a little bit, because

106
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: I didn't think about that private investigation internally. That gets

107
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: in other words, if someone steals money, instead of going

108
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: in and sitting down and pulling fingers, they can bring

109
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: your company in to evaluate basically become an arbitrator by

110
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: gathering all the information.

111
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: It was about that pathway.

112
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you got investigating and you know, talking

113
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: to all the witnesses talking to anyone involved, interviewing them,

114
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: gathering statements, gathering evidence where they were at that time,

115
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: whether they see what happened before the incident, what happened

116
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: after the incident, what happened during the incident, Gathering all

117
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: that information. Gathering uh, you know, the information about the

118
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: particular employees, about you know, their life cycle of employment

119
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: with the company. You know, look into any disciplinary actions

120
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: they may have in the past. You know, maybe there

121
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: was some you know, if it's a retail company, maybe

122
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: they had you know, a multiple of shortages come up

123
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 3: when they're when they reconcile their money during the end

124
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 3: of the day, which happens in the retail industry, you know,

125
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: looking at all that and factoring all that and then

126
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: bringing out we don't we don't come and say, hey,

127
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 3: this person is guilty. We don't come and see this

128
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 3: person's not guilty. We provide them with all the evidence

129
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: that we have, all the things that we found, and

130
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 3: then you know, they can make that decision or again,

131
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: you know, if there's any type of lawsuit or anything,

132
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: or they need to take it to their board treating decisions.

133
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: That's the information they used.

134
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: Cool. I'm speaking with Travis t. Wade.

135
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: His company, The Guardian is a private security corporation with

136
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: three separate divisions, armed and unarmed uniform security officers personal protection.

137
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: And he was just describing the private investigation is not

138
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: the version you see on TV, but corporate tied to

139
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: small business where they go in and probably gather information

140
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: so the case can be uh with the person who

141
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: is being accused or the company who's doing the accusing

142
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: as all the facts from an independent source.

143
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: Correct, correct.

144
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Now, I've managed Steve Harvey in my lifetime. I'm also

145
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: currently in relationships with a.

146
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: With a managed relationship with Steven A. Smith.

147
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: And so I've seen personal security. I've seen personal protection

148
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: and sometimes we went to a certain locations where we

149
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: had to up to annie because of the crowd size.

150
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: How did you get into personal protection business? And describe

151
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: your version of it?

152
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,880

Speaker 3: he went into private protection and his first client was

159
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 3: a music industry record label giant, which was def Jam Records,

160
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: and he went into private protection and protecting one of

161
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: their biggest artists, which is DMX. This is back in

162
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: the mid nineties late nineties, So that's where that started

163
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: with our company and when he when he went on

164
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: and created Guardian Security Management, of course that fraction of

165
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: the business had to be included into that. Included with

166
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 3: the armed and unarmed, it was also the private protection

167
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: because he definitely had experience there. So the private protection

168
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: comes from that and it's and it's it's all what

169
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: it says, entails, you know, private. It can be anywhere

170
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: from executives of CEOs of companies to celebrities right two

171
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: individuals who just want a different level of security when

172
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: they go out. It can be a normal civilian, you know,

173
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: if they want a certain level of protection, security to

174
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 3: feel safe, right to feel comfort someone. And it's just

175
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: not about making sure that one is harming you. It's

176
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: also about you know, you feeling that you have someone

177
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: with you that can that you can talk to. We

178
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: bring a human aspect to it. A customer service aspect

179
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: to it, someone that you can relate to, someone that

180
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 3: you can enjoy behaving with. But it's also one point

181
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: protecting your well being, protecting your intellectual property, and making

182
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: sure that you reach your destination and home in a

183
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 3: safe and blessed condition.

184
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: I would tell you this when I think about the

185
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: growth of social media influencers, the growth of hedge funds

186
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: and CEOs and all that that portion of the business

187
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: probably has grown over the years.

188
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 3: Correct it has, it has, and unfortunately it's grown with

189
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 3: a lot of these mass shootings, a lot of these

190
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 3: really fanatic fans out here that take that part of

191
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: them being fan to the extreme right really excuse me,

192
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: really taking that to an extreme to where a celebrity

193
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: or someone of interest or someone popular will need that

194
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: type of protection because you know, a fan is just

195
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: too involved with them to engross into what they're doing,

196
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: to where they they feel that they're entitled to be

197
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: in their personal space. They feel that they're entitled to to,

198
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: you know, be with them day and night and do

199
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 3: what they're doing. When you know, listen, celebrities are just

200
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: like us, right, They're normal people. They need their privacy,

201
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: they need their personal space and when a fan or

202
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: someone is violating that, that's when you know the personal

203
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: protection comes.

204
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: In a classic example like the head coach of the

205
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions telling his home because his daughters friend posted

206
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: their address, I believe on social media and.

207
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 3: Then yeah, absolutely, I read about.

208
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: That and so that that that alarm.

209
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: So you know, you don't want to walk out out

210
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: your front door with a stranger standing on your lawn

211
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: or that that's an uncomfort that people are uncomfortable. Uncomfortable

212
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: state a lot of people understand. But what a lot

213
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: of people understand is that a lot of ordinary people

214
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: out there making a lot of money, a lot of

215
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: people out there are influencers and just because you don't know,

216
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: but when they get in the wrong area, when that's

217
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: in the wrong area, meaning where that fan base is

218
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: aware of who they are, then it became security is need.

219
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: How does one go through the process that your company

220
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: evaluating this is a client we should bring on board

221
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: for personal protection travel.

222
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: So of course it starts with the conversation, right, and

223
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 3: it starts with a conversation with the potential client, just

224
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: to make sure that it's a match, right, and it's

225
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 3: with anything right it's it's you know, you want to

226
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: you don't want to compare it to like a dating

227
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: side or anything, right, but you want to make sure

228
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 3: it's a match.

229
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: Right.

230
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: We we want to make sure that we can provide

231
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: what you need and that you are a type of

232
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: client that we want to want to you know, do

233
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 3: business with and partner with. Right. You know, so we

234
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: we look at someone I'll give an example of someone

235
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: that's maybe high risk, but that might be in a

236
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: certain type of business or industry that that doesn't match

237
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,359
Speaker 3: with our goals and our priorities.

238
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: Right.

239
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: I don't want to go too deep into it, but

240
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: you know, someone might say I need personal protection, and

241
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 3: we asked why why do you need personal protection? What's

242
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: going on? We you know, we we interview them, we

243
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 3: allow them to interview us, and we see, as you know, listen,

244
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: all money is not good money, right. You know, even

245
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: some of the the the more criminal, uh fraction of

246
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 3: our society needs personal protection to look for personal protection,

247
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: and that's not where we want to kind of kind

248
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: of be in, uh you know, so we kind of

249
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: stay away from that stuff. So you know, again, you know,

250
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: we make.

251
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: Sure everybody needs protection, right, Travis everybody.

252
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: But you delivered it.

253
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: But you delivered the note so smooth. Though Rashana all money,

254
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: it's not good money. Even the criminal element needs protection.

255
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: And sometimes we just have to say that's not the

256
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: way we do business.

257
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: To call you.

258
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: You know what, when I first met you at Travis

259
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: at this event, what really stuck to me or struck

260
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: me was the fact that you are a corporation. You

261
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: are an African American owned business, and you're doing business

262
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: not just in the city, but you're doing it in

263
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: several states. And I told you that. I said, Wow,

264
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: that's unusual. I really want to interview you with that.

265
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: Tell us about you kind of mentioned earlier about how

266
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: it all started in personal protection, how did the brand

267
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: because you was in corporate now now you're in entrepreneurship.

268
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: Tell us about that journey if you leaving the corporate space,

269
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: but also how this company has grown to be in

270
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: business and three states nationwide.

271
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I'll start with how it has grown.

272
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: And again I have to I have to give you know,

273
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: the flowers, the credit, the accolades to our founding, our founder,

274
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: mister Benjamin Manor, who founded Guardian Security over twenty five

275
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: years ago and built it as a brand to be

276
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: dealt with in the Atlanta, Georgia area, starting off with

277
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: you know, us being a preferred vendor at the Olympics

278
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 3: in Atlanta in the early nineties and partnering with major

279
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 3: corporations like the Coca Cola factory here in Atlanta. You know,

280
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: we started off being their security vendor, and then you know,

281
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: also partnering with Georgia Power and then some of the

282
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: other entities here in Atlanta, and then moving on to Alabama,

283
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: you know, and particularly Birmingham in Bestsemer we have an

284
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: office Investmer, Alabama and partnering with some medical facilities Divita

286
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 3: with them, and also the Vicinious Medical Facility in Alabama.

287
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: We have about seventy eight locations there with them as well.

288
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: And then you know, doing all that branching off in

289
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 3: North Carolina. Now that's that's probably our newest venture. Branching

290
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 3: off of North Carolina, starting off with partnering with some

291
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 3: construction entities to be a physical presence during their pre

292
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: construction phase in their construction phase, to partner with them

293
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: and looking to build greater relationships in the North Carolina area.

294
00:16:54,520 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: But I decided to leave my corporate world of over

295
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: twenty years in a commercial retail bank in New York City,

296
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 3: one of the only black managed, formerly black owned retail

297
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: banks in New York City, Carver Federal Savings Bank, to

298
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: where I was the head of their human resource office,

299
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: to come down to Atlanta and to run and take

300
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: over Guardian Security Management. You know, as a kid, you

301
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 3: always think about you know, I was always thinking about

302
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 3: owning your own, right, you owning your own being a boss,

303
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 3: right your kids? You want to be a boss, right,

304
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: I want to be a boss. You know, see you

305
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 3: raise suits and you think about being a boss. And

306
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 3: then and then you see all of these boss figures

307
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 3: all over the place, all these these these black individuals

308
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 3: doing great things and something I always wanted to do.

309
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: But you know, life starts to life like life be

310
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 3: lifing is some of the phrases are now. So you know,

311
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: my life turned into a profession of HR, which I

312
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 3: love and I love working with HR and I love

313
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 3: working with people, and I think HR kind of relates

314
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: to every industry. HR can be transferred into every industry.

315
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 3: You know, from a corporate industry to small businesses, from

316
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 3: finance to retail to security. Right, it all relates because

317
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 3: you all do. You're always dealing with people, right, You're

318
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 3: always dealing with how to manage people right, how to

319
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: work with people in every fraction of hrs relatable to

320
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 3: every industry. So when I had the conversation with our

321
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 3: founding member and he brought the opportunity to me to

322
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: come on over and take over, it was of course

323
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 3: a lot of decisions.

324
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: That's New York to Atlanta.

325
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: Now, that's New York to Atlanta. The money is not

326
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: the same m hm. You know, the base salaries aren't

327
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 3: the same. So you got to think about that. You

328
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 3: got to think about certain things. The hustle will bustle.

329
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 3: But I just thought about as a kid, how it

330
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 3: was thought about being a boss and owning my own

331
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: and running something of value, and being able to help

332
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: our community, being able to hire from our within our community,

333
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 3: being able to help our people that are disadvantaged. And

334
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: this gives me that perfect opportunity. Of course, I am

335
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 3: a God free man. I prayed on it. God tell

336
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 3: me do what you gotta do. Brother, I'm giving you

337
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 3: the blessing and I did it. Of course, it's not easy,

338
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: the struggle and understanding the dynamics here from New York

339
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: to Atlanta. Again it's New York to Atlanta. But but

340
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 3: it's been awesome, uh, to the Atlanta metro area. The

341
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 3: people I haven't been meeting, Oh my god. I couldn't

342
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: ask for anything. But it is definitely the Black Mecca.

343
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: So many opportunities for for for min already owned businesses,

344
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 3: so many opportunities for women owned businesses, so many great

345
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: people to meet, like yourself, you know, like you initially

346
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 3: spoke to mister Donald, mister McDonald, it was just like, wow,

347
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,440

348
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: the podcast, and it was just awesome. And then when

349
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: I got the call, I just felt blessed to even

350
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 3: be able to speak with you right now. But you know,

351
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 3: I just think I'm having a good time having fun.

352
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think that you're coming. You're coming into things

353

Speaker 3: and and and bring certain uh you know, uh work

Speaker 3: ethics and bring certain priorities from your executive world and

355
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 3: be experience that I'm bringing over to this small business

356
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 3: to try to and to continue to grow it to

357
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: be an official corporate entity. You know that we would

358
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 3: have so many resources down here.

359
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: So many there's Atlanta special Man.

360
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: You know when I when when people listen to the

361
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: show and the Guardian, that's the name of this private.

362
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 3: Security Guardian Security Matter.

363
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: What is the secret of your success at the company's success.

364
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: I think being true to who we are, not being

365
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 3: someone we're not right. We didn't been coming here trying

366
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 3: to be an allied universal right. We're not trying to

367
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 3: come in here and treating our people, you know, unfairly.

368
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's being true to who you are

369
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: and being true to your people and your staff. And

370
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 3: I think that's what will continue has continued us should

371
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: be where we are and will continue us to grow.

372
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: We know.

373
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of being having you partners in it because,

374
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: like I said, I've been exposed to so many levels

375
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: of security. I've been fortunately living in Chicago, Los Angeles,

376
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: born and raised in Houston, now based in Atlanta, Georgia.

377
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: So I've been all over this country. I've seen so

378
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: African American men and women who've been in the security business,

379
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: but no one who understood the model or how to

380
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: turn this into a corporation, how to turn this into

381
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: a business other than an individual or just based in

382
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: the city, and you can see the tentacles.

383
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: Of what it is.

384
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: You are a widespread company that can build on RFPs

385
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: for security. And that's important because you have a track

386
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: record that says I do like you said, can I

387
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: do medical, I do private, I do all levels.

388
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 2: Of it, and I got the insurance.

389
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: Plus I have their staffing and the accounting that shows

390
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: that we function as a company. Well, if somebody wants

391
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: to come into this business, what is their business plan

392
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: to be in the security business?

393
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: Dravis?

394
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: So what what I've always told UH managers, executives, CEOs

395
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 3: that I've that I've counseled being an HR person is

396
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 3: you have to learn the business first. You have to

397
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: know the business. You know you have even with me

398
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 3: coming into understanding HR, I had to learn the business

399
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: of security, which I did, you know, joining forums, joining

400
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: excuse me, you know, joining some of these great uh

401
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 3: uh chamber of sites that are out there. You know,

402
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 3: you have to learn the business of security or whatever

403
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 3: industry you're getting in. You need to really learn the business.

404
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: And the second thing is, you know, there's always good

405
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: to have a mentor you know, someone who can guide

406
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 3: you through you know, no one does it by themselves.

407
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 3: You know, yes, you can be very independent and self

408
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 3: start all the things that you preach when you're in

409
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 3: an interview, right, but no one does about themselves, especially

410
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 3: running a business. No one does about themselves. So invite

411
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 3: people to work with you who may know certain things

412
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 3: better than you. You know, and always, you know, be

413
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 3: open to learning.

414
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: As you know I mentioned earlier, was born and rais

415
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: in Houston, Texas. So I'm a country in New York

416
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: City is my favorite city.

417
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: I love. I love the crowd. I love the hustling bustle.

418
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: So you know, now, give me two things you miss

419
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: about New York City and give me two things that

420
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: you love about Atlanta, Georgia.

421
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 3: All right, so let's start with two things that I

422
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 3: miss about New York City. One thing would probably be

423
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 3: the authentic West Indian food. Okay, gotcha, give me a

424
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 3: good jerk chicken from from Crown Heights, Brooklyn and Flatbush, Brooklyn. Man,

425
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 3: that's awesome. And the second thing would probably be Christmas

426
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: in New York. I'm a I'm a holiday per I

427
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 3: love Christmas. The lights in the city, beauty, It's awesome.

428
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 3: It's beautiful when they light the trees up and they

429
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 3: light up some of the department stores on Fifth Avenue

430
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: and Madison, It's it's wonderful. So some of the things

431
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: I love in Atlanta, Oh my god, I love I

432
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 3: love the people because they're so open to helping, they're

433
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 3: so open to too meeting. It's just the people themselves.

434
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 3: I guess that would be the pro the people in the.

435
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, that stands out because the fact that Atlanta is

436
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: unique and the things that that's why Tyler Perry is successful.

437
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: That's why African Americans come here. They are successful because

438
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: there's a core and that was set up many many

439
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: years ago by the structure of African Americans who had

440
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: power and didn't offend the white structure. They work together

441
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: and it gives us an opportunity to be as successful.

442
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: But Travis, you know when again your personal services protection,
