Publisher's summary
Many times when people hear the word “bodyguard”, a certain image forms in their mind. Unfortunately, this image is too often complicated by stereotypes of muscular men in sunglasses and fancy suits shooting handguns, as they jump sideways over a car in slow motion. I have never seen this in my experience as a bodyguard. I have seen many years of professionals working day in and day out, committed to protecting innocent people from people who want to harm them. I have witnessed professionalism that has humbled me and inspired me. I had been fortunate enough to work with professionals who I watched to be the first to arrive, work all day in stressful environments, and be the last to leave. They are the professionals who work all of the time and are never seen or heard from on camera. They are silent and remain behind the scenes.
Every day, more and more threats emerge in our world; everything from terrorism to rising crime rates continues to make our world more and more dangerous. One thing is for sure, the need for protection and personal security is not going away. If you are interested in the industry of bodyguard work or executive protection, or even if you are already working in this field, this audiobook is a great resource. It lists 101 principles that have been learned by someone who has been working in the private security and executive protection sector for over ten years. Each guide is born out of personal experience working in the field.
About the expert: Cody Blocker is a certified protection specialist and an honor graduate of the esteemed Executive Security International. Cody worked as the security director of a large organization for over 10 years and currently works in the private security industry. He has worked as an executive protection agent in various roles in multiple states in the US and overseas, including conflict zones. Cody’s unique skill set has allowed him to gain experience and specialize in the areas of surveillance, counter-surveillance, threat assessment, and advanced work. He is a licensed private detective and a licensed emergency medical technician (EMT).
Cody is certified by his state’s highway patrol to teach concealed handgun certification courses to responsible citizens. He has trained and consulted with over 100 organizations across the country in various security capacities. Cody has over twenty years of training in Japanese and Brazilian martial arts and is a boxing, mixed martial arts, and Brazilian jiujitsu competitor. Cody is also a competitive pistol shooter and has amassed thousands of hours of continuing education in combative, tactic, driving, shooting, surveillance, and intelligence training from national and international experts. Along with other protection professionals with whom he has worked closely, he teaches self-defense, pistol combat, surveillance, threat assessment, and security operations to teams and individuals.

The CIA is looking for walking contradictions. Recruiters seek people who can keep a secret, yet pull classified information out of others; who love their country, but are willing to leave it behind to head into dangerous places; who live double lives, but can be trusted with some of the nation's most sensitive tasks. Michele Rigby Assad was one of those people. As a CIA agent, Michele soon found that working undercover was an all-encompassing job. The threats were real. The mission was a perilous one. Trained as a counterterrorism expert, Michele spent over a decade in the agency.

Men are not the enemy, and masculinity, contrary to what much of popular culture would have you believe, is the solution to what plagues individuals, families, and society as a whole. In The Masculinity Manifesto, author and podcaster Ryan Michler focuses on how a man can wield his power and lead others well with influence, credibility, and authority.

Professionally Delivered
I first want to say that the author is professionally qualified to write on the subject matter given his experience and expertise. The book itself is correctly titled, in that the content fulfilled the title. I being a fellow protector can attest to what the author shared. I do recommend this book as a good read for all levels in this industry. There’s something in it that can benefit all. To put it in simple terms there’s take away’s for every level.

Bodyguard Careers
Good information, although it’s probably geared for someone who’s currently in the EP industry. I would recommend this audiobook, as a good refresher guide.
