This week’s episode of the Fearless Mindset Podcast features John Shuman, Founder of Shuman Security Consulting. John draws from his wealth of experience in the Secret Service and as a chief of security at some of the biggest organizations including Target and U.S. Bank.
He shares his success tips on how individuals moving from public service to private sector can make it big, including bringing the appropriate mindset and relevant skills to the table. Once in the industry, John stresses that work ethic and principles are top of mind to build credibility since executive protection relies heavily on the agency's reputation.
Today, John observes a growing need for executive protection. It is essential for security agencies and security directors to recognize the gaps in their security programs and address them sooner rather than later.

QUOTES
John: "Leave the secret service attitude at the door. Leave the cold 'I am a Fed, do as I say,' please leave all that outside. Walk in with a renewed sort of invigorated attitude about okay, I'm new here, I want and I have to fit in to this corporate culture to be successful."
John: "It starts with win number 1. And you need to go in there, no matter how big or small the project is, with the same attitude. The same mindset. And that is we are going to deliver exactly what we said we would deliver. We will deliver it on time and on budget, and you're going to be thrilled with the outcome."
John: "One thing I love, generally, the security industry, even in the corporate security industry, is that really it's one of the few areas of the corporation that isn't incentivized to compete."
