An Introduction to Celebrity Protection and Touring: A Guide to Mastering the Business of VIP Protection

De: Elijah Shaw, Dale June

Narrado por: Elijah Shaw

An Introduction to Celebrity Protection and Touring offers a peek behind the scenes of the close protection industry, more commonly known as the bodyguard business. More than the stereotypical bullet blocker, the modern protection specialist is a skilled practitioner who utilizes verbal judo much more than its physical counterpart.

This audiobook, written by industry experts, Elijah Shaw and Dale June (USSS ret.), also narrows the focus, centering in on an exciting, but misunderstood, sector that involves working with celebrities ranging from actors to musicians and entering into their world of touring, filming and promotional appearances. While many may think that celebrity protection is one size fits all, nothing could be further from the truth, as you are not only dealing with the protection of the client, but the client's reputation. All this with the added pressure of the entire world looking over your shoulder, just waiting for a misstep.

With real world advice, tactics and techniques on how to identify and defeat potential attackers, as well as covering everything from dealing with overzealous fans, to hyper-aggressive paparazzi, this audiobook offers proven solutions from two experts that have covered the gambit from the Grammy Awards to the White House.

Keep listening

Donald Sadler review: This was a great read and now we have the greater benefit of always being able to get the truths of the pages on the go. The lessons learned from the pages come alive with the true expression of the author who himself has narrated this piece of work. While in my vehicle, doing chores around the house, on the plane or wherever you use private audio, this is definitely an on the go story that keeps giving to those in the protection industry. Heck, I see it being used in the training classrooms too. The information is so easily digestible, even those who seek our services will better understand what it is they should be looking for and how we should be operating as personal protection agents. The truth has been made plain for all to understand.

All Ears!

Elijah has done it again by taking the craft to the next level! Be it novice or seasoned professionals, one can use this as an everyday tool while on the go or “hurrying and waiting”. Big ups and much respect!
