Security Starts Before the Crisis

Well, and I can see that in everything that you do, that preparation is so important, right? And the fact that you're out there training teams for what you just called, I just learned, left of bang versus right of bang, right? And, and if you focus on that being ready for whatever happens...

I don't know if I ever told you, you know, my father was law enforcement.

He was an undercover narcotics agent.

And he and his partners, like, they trusted each other for everything.

You never knew what they were gonna be.

And so then as kids, we all played with the other kids that were the children of the narcs because that's who they l- you know, spent all their time with.

And there was a, uh, I mean, there was teasing, oh my God, there was terrible narc humor.

But there was also just this just understanding that they had each other's backs no matter what, right? That was so impressive, and you do that for teams.

Oh, JT, thank you.

So first of all, kudos to...

You said it was your grandfather?

It was my dad.

He's passed, but yeah.

Well, it was your dad.

Kudos to your dad.

That's, you know, it's never an easy job being a police officer, especially in the world that we live in today.

But one of the things that you brought up that I think is very important to highlight is you're only as good as your team at the end of the day.

If you've got leadership and, and your team that's, that's, that's driving it in a good direction, I, I'll tell you right now, I always...

I think that's the key to success in any organization.

That's the key to building those teams, is having your team that backs you and supports you, having that team that you can rely on.

I always say it's not me that, that's, that's, that's behind the scenes doing this hard work.

It's my team that does that.

The team makes me look good at the end of the day.

I'm just simply delivering the message.

But you're only as good as your team, and you've gotta really take care of that team at the end, end of the day.So I think that's-- I, I needed to bring that up because, um, and then from a leadership perspective, you want the right leaders in place today because the world has been challenged.
