| 6/16/26 | ![]() Episode 292 - Cyber Resilience, Legal Liability, and Winning Through Service with Eddie Sorrells (Part 2) | In this episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast, Host Mark Ledlow interviews Eddie Sorrells, newly named president of ASIS and CEO of a security company,Eddie shares insights on how the security industry has evolved since COVID, highlighting the growing role of technology as a force multiplier and the increasing importance of cyber resilience in today's risk environment.The discussion explores the convergence of physical and cyber security, the emerging threats posed by artificial intelligence, phishing attacks, and digital deception. Eddie also draws on his experience as an attorney to explain legal liability in the security industry, emphasizing the critical importance of training, insurance, documentation, and risk management.Mark and Eddie discuss how boutique security firms can compete against larger organizations by focusing on responsiveness, customer service, and operational excellence. They also preview the upcoming Global Security Exchange (GSX) conference in Atlanta and discuss the value of networking, professional development, and servant leadership within the security community.Learn about all this and more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast.KEY TAKEAWAYSCyber resilience is the new security mindset — Organizations must prepare not only to prevent cyber incidents but also to recover quickly when they occur.Technology is a force multiplier, not a replacement for people — COVID accelerated adoption of security technologies that enhance operational effectiveness.AI is transforming the threat landscape — Voice cloning, deepfakes, and sophisticated phishing attacks make traditional warning signs harder to detect.Training is your best legal defense — Proper training, documentation, and compliance can significantly reduce organizational liability.Security companies must understand risk beyond physical protection — Legal exposure, insurance requirements, and contractor oversight are critical business considerations.Responsiveness wins business — Clients value organizations that answer calls, solve problems quickly, and make them feel supported.Service outperforms marketing — A strong reputation built on consistent execution generates more referrals than any advertising campaign.Small firms can outperform larger competitors — Boutique organizations often have greater agility, stronger relationships, and faster decision-making.Professional relationships create long-term opportunities — Networking and maintaining authentic connections continue to drive industry growth.Servant leadership creates lasting impact — Great leaders focus on leaving organizations better than they found them.QUOTES "They don't use the phrase cyber security. They only talk about cyber resilience because it's going to happen." "What's suspicious anymore?" "The classic attorney answer is, 'It depends.'" "Make sure you train your staff, you're investing in that, and they're aware of those threats and how to handle themselves.""At the end of the day, a good service and a good product is going to shine through.""It's not about being perfect, it's about being responsive.""People are hungry for that level of service.""We just want to feel special when we call you.""The fastest way you're going to grow is through your team's professionalism and reputation in the field.""I want to make sure that I leave this position better than I found it."Get to know more about Eddie Sorrells through the link/s below.https://www.linkedin.com/in/eddie-sorrells-cpp-psp-pci-b376155/To hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen on major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video. | 25m 46s | ||||||

| 1/27/26 | ![]() Episode 276 - Geopolitics, Venezuela, and U.S. Strategy with Eddie Garcia | In this episode, host Mark Ledlow is joined by Eddie Garcia, a 22-year Army veteran and former Airborne Ranger, who has extensive experience in special operations and policy work on Capitol Hill. Eddie provides insights on the current geopolitical landscape, particularly focusing on Venezuela and the strategic moves by the Trump administration. They discuss various topics, including the impact of social media on perception, the importance of controlling resources, economic warfare, and the intricate chess game between the U.S., China, and Russia. The episode also touches on the defense industrial base, the significance of securing critical minerals, and the future of economic and defense strategies under the Trump administration. Eddie shares his expertise in navigating the complexities of Washington D.C. for small and medium-sized businesses looking to enter the defense space. The conversation also includes advice for veterans transitioning to civilian life and exploring entrepreneurial opportunities. Learn about all this and more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS Trump's strategy focuses on economic control of the Western Hemisphere, not military occupation Venezuela move erased $19B Chinese debt and secures oil/mineral access for American companies Modern warfare is about controlling resources and supply chains, not traditional combat Defense spending could jump 50% to $1.5 trillion by 2027 Huge opportunities in drones, AI, and domestic manufacturing Small businesses need DC connections to navigate Pentagon relationships Get any job first to learn the civilian landscape—you can switch in 6 months List what you DON'T want (location, hours, travel) to narrow your options Use military benefits as a safety net while exploring entrepreneurship QUOTES "The bigger war right now is an economic war over resources. If you don't have the critical minerals, you've already lost before anything has ever been fired." "DC doesn't run on the right idea. It runs on relationships, politics, and the news cycle. You can have the right answer, but come from the wrong place and it can lock you out permanently." "$200-$300 drones can inflict tens of billions of dollars in damage on a world superpower. We are gonna spend a ton of money on drone dominance." "Make a list of what you don't want to do. I don't want to shovel snow. I don't want to miss my kids' games. Start there and figure out what you're good at." "You might pay a consultant for two years and get nothing but relationships. Then in year three, you get a $30 million contract. That two years becomes peanuts."

| 1/20/26 | ![]() Episode 275 - Building Security Industry Connections Through Global Events with Phelim Rowe | In this episode, host Mark Ledlow is joined by Phelim Rowe, an industry analyst, from the United Kingdom, diving deep into Phelim's journey in the security conference industry. The discussion covers various aspects of organizing and running conferences, the impact of COVID-19 on the industry, and the differences in conference culture between the US and Europe. Phelim also shares insights on how to handle adversity, the importance of creating valuable agendas, and his transition from public service to becoming a well-known conference producer. This episode is packed with valuable information for anyone interested in the security, business, and entertainment sectors. Learn about all this and more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Specialize in one industry rather than jumping between topics - builds credibility and deep understanding • Ask layered questions to uncover real pain points, not surface-level answers • Post-COVID conferences are thriving - more events, more attendance, but more selective spending • US networking is transactional and fast; European networking emphasizes long-term professional relationships • The US economy drives most international security work, especially from Silicon Valley clients • Good conferences help the entire industry - when one fails, it hurts all events QUOTES "I had 42 [job interviews] and I didn't get anything... If they're not asking for it, they don't want to know." "I call myself an analyst... you don't see me jumping between mother and baby Expo and infantry weapons." "What's keeping you up at night? Most people, the initial first thing they say is not correct... We need to peel back the layers." "If I met you for the first time at GSX... and then we continue our dialogue virtually... it's an extension." "People are spending money in ways that are reassuringly expensive. Oh, it cost me a hundred grand, so it must be better. No, you are paying their overheads."

| 12/30/25 | ![]() 2025 Highlights: AI, Security, Leadership, and the Cost of Getting It Wrong | As we reflect on 2025, this episode pulls together the most important themes shaping the year ahead — from the rapid acceleration of AI and automation, to the evolving realities of security, leadership, and trust in an increasingly complex world. What was once hidden behind the scenes is now accessible to everyone. AI has moved from the “Matrix” into daily workflows, forcing organizations to rethink efficiency, security, and human value. At the same time, rising geopolitical tension, information warfare, and emerging technologies like quantum computing are redefining what risk really looks like — both for businesses and for people. This conversation also explores the human side of 2025: leadership under pressure, the importance of culture, mentorship, and professionalism, and why kindness, trust, and preparation are no longer “soft skills,” but strategic advantages. From executive protection and estate management to corporate security, AI leverage, and career longevity, this episode highlights where leaders must adapt — and where getting it wrong even once can have lasting consequences. KEY HIGHLIGHTS AI has crossed a critical threshold — no longer theoretical, but operational, accessible, and increasingly powerful Automation and optimization are now survival tools, not optional efficiencies Security threats are no longer siloed — digital, physical, personal, and reputational risks are deeply interconnected Quantum computing looms as a disruptive force that could render today’s encryption obsolete Executive protection is expanding beyond the C-suite into broader personnel and brand security Leadership today requires relationship capital, situational awareness, and long-term thinking Culture, kindness, and mentorship deliver measurable performance and retention advantages Careers are becoming less linear — leverage, adaptability, and mindset matter more than pedigree To hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen on major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video. | 18m 46s | ||||||
| 12/23/25 | ![]() Episode 273 - REWIND: The Art of Protection and Lessons from a CIA Special Agent with Mike Trott | In this Special Rewind Episode, host Mark Ledlow revisits an impactful conversation with Mike Trott, a former Air Force veteran and CIA Special Agent, whose career has been defined by protecting some of the world’s most high-profile individuals. Mike shares the journey of writing his seminal book, The Protected, and the immense pressure of securing an endorsement from former CIA Director George Tenet. They delve into the "layers of security" model, the dangers of social media misinformation, and the 2020 Beirut port explosion as a critical case study in risk management and incompetence. Mike also discusses his current role as VP of Global Safety and Security at Discovery Land, highlighting how the security industry has pivoted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation covers the vital importance of utilizing operational downtime for training and preparing for the massive impending resurgence of global corporate travel. This Special Rewind Episode offers timeless, practical lessons for security professionals, executives, and principals seeking to strengthen decision-making, preparedness, and resilience. Learn about all this and more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mastering the craft of security requires decades of lived experience and continuous learning. Security programs must be holistic; removing a single layer compromises the entire foundation. The endorsement of a high-level principal stems from a commitment to excellence and professional pressure. Social media misinformation is a growing "failed experiment" that poses significant risks to global stability. Effective risk assessment involves evaluating "all-hazard" scenarios, including neighboring industrial threats. Professional EP teams must utilize downtime for rigorous training to remain sharp for future surges in travel. QUOTES “I don't think you can write a book, especially about our career... and hit all the points unless you've lived through it. That’s going to take you a few decades.” “If you take one or two layers out... it's like removing the foundation from your building, from your house. You're gonna have issues.” “Social media does a lot of good, hands down... but I think we haven't seen or been able to measure how bad it does in terms of false information.” “As CSOs or VP of Security and Safety, we probably didn't see this coming where we'd have to step up and be more involved with helping to understand this pandemic.” “If EP teams are not training right now and taking advantage of this opportunity and they're just staying at home... you're probably wrong.” “The executives are gonna own a full launch and it's gonna ramp up pretty quick. Get ready. It's gonna be madness.” “Fearless isn't just your ability to handle a high stress situation. I think fearless also applies into your ability to make good decisions.” Get to know more about Mike Trott and his work through the links below: Book: www.TheProtected.us LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mwtrott/ To hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen on major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video. | 25m 29s | ||||||
| 12/11/25 | ![]() Episode 272 - The Key to Patience and Adaptability in the Security Industry with Kyle Scott | In this episode, host Mark Ledlow is joined by Kyle Scott to discuss the importance of patience and adaptability in the security business. They emphasize continuous learning, technology adaptation, and the value of networking. Kyle shares his journey from being a Marine to becoming a key player in the security industry, stressing the significance of providing discreet and high-quality client protection. They also highlight the importance of building relationships and maintaining a strong network within the industry. The episode underscores the challenges and rewards of starting and growing a business in the field of security. Learn about all this and more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS Patience and adaptability are essential in the security and business industry. Continuous learning and staying updated on compliance and technology drive growth. Building relationships and networking are crucial for success. Customer service and discretion are top priorities. The industry is rapidly evolving with technology, including open-source tools and drones. Training and high standards are foundational to company success. Helping others and making a positive impact is a core motivator. QUOTES "Patience is a key. You never know what's gonna happen every day. Understanding to adapt for the minute, per the hour." "Starting this business is learning something every day." "If you want to make it in this industry, it's not now. It's when—to gain that respect from your peers." "My main goal anytime I work with a customer is a discreet, plain clothes, extra protection where they get to live their life day to day." "The core foundation of the company is training, training, training, and making sure the standard of who we hire is the top of the line." "I find a joy putting guys in the field to protect individuals. It’s getting pleasure seeing these people get to live a day-to-day life with ease and not have to worry about their security."

| 12/4/25 | ![]() Episode 271 - The Realities and Challenges of the Executive Protection Industry | In this episode of the Fearless Mindset Podcast, we dive into the nuances and challenges of the Executive Protection (EP) field. The discussion covers the importance of having a clear plan, the necessity of execution in business, and the distinction between W2 and 10-99 employment in EP. The guests share their personal experiences and the inherent instability in the industry due to client indecisiveness and financial hesitations. They emphasize the value of trust and persistence in building business relationships and highlight the benefits of running a boutique agency. The conversation also delves into generational differences in job satisfaction and the importance of process-oriented business strategies. Finally, they discuss the impact of networking events and the role of referrals in business growth. Key Takeaways Execution is more important than ideas—success comes from acting, not just planning. Trust and relationships are foundational in business, but take time to build. The security/executive protection industry is challenging, with little stability and a need for constant hustle. Adaptability and having a clear plan are critical for business survival and growth. Most business growth comes from referrals and word of mouth, not just visibility. Notable Quotes "It all boils down to execution. The better you execute it or even just attempt to execute it, the easier it's gonna be." "Without the trust piece, you're just another company." "Business is hard. It's not for the faint of heart. Most of them fail in the first two years." "If I can save a veteran from committing suicide, it's worth it. And that's why I do what I do." "Trust doesn't come overnight."

| 12/2/25 | ![]() Episode 270 - Navigating Workplace Security and Addressing Employee Anger | In this episode of the Fearless Mindset Podcast, we delve into the importance of security and open communication within organizations. With a record number of elections and global distrust in institutions, security teams must foster collaboration and personal connectivity to build trust and ensure everyone's safety. The discussion covers the challenges of balancing security measures with human interaction, the significance of training programs, and how to manage and mitigate workplace anger effectively. The conversation also delves into the role of emotional intelligence in leadership and the need for comprehensive inside threat analysis to preemptively identify and address potential risks. Key Takeaways Security is about collaboration, trust, and meeting people where they are—not just rules and restrictions. Open, honest conversations about difficult topics (like anger and workplace safety) are essential for a healthy organization. Security professionals should serve as culture-bearers, modeling the values and behaviors they want to see. Emotional intelligence and empathy are critical leadership skills, especially post-COVID. Security knowledge should be shared beyond the workplace to benefit families and communities. Addressing insider threats requires long-term, holistic approaches, not just reactive measures. Notable Quotes "The message is not always guns, guards, gates, lock it down. The message is: how do we work together to collectively secure everyone?" "You have to meet people where they are. You can't be a robot." "Collaboration and trust are the foundation of civilization—and we need to get back to that." "Security is a primary culture bearer of what we do here." "Anger is real. It's in your organization. We have to be able to have these conversations and deal with it." "It all starts with you."

| 11/25/25 | ![]() Episode 269 - Building Trust and Leadership in Disrupted Environments | In this episode of the Fearless Mindset Podcast, we delve into the importance of leadership and creating a safe, inclusive work culture in security with industry experts. The conversation touches on the critical role of trust, leading during times of crisis, and managing risk in a rapidly changing world. Ludlow and guests share insights from recent events, the evolution of organizational threats, and how to foster a resilient, people-focused company culture. Key Takeaways Leadership in security is about influencing people and building a culture of care and trust. Modern threats are increasingly internal, not just external, requiring leaders to "read the room" and understand employee well-being. Company culture is critical, especially in times of crisis and disruption; organizations with intentional cultures fare better. Focusing on people, not just operations, is essential for resilience and long-term success. Trust must be built and cannot be assumed; employees need to feel safe, accepted, and part of the mission. Diversity in skills, experiences, and perspectives strengthens organizations. Leaders should empower employees to take ownership of their own security and well-being. Notable Quotes "We focus on people because people matter, and it matters a lot." "You are not going to hit your goals if your people are not there." "We are not taking care of this for them; they are part of the process." "Trust must be built and not assumed from day one." "I’m not here to hire sheriffs, I’m here to hire mayors." "Diversity is not about followers, religions, or converse. It’s about skills."
