Are you fighting for who you truly are?

 

This episode of the I Own It podcast will take you to the frontlines as we welcome Byron Rodgers, a service-centered Executive Protection agent, content creator, author, and United States veteran with an extensive private security experience in over 60 countries.

 

Protection isn’t a job. It’s a lifestyle. And Byron aims to present and package his military skills and principles in a palatable way in this new battle space… our modern world. Regardless of gender or background, with hard work and character, you too can be a protector!

 

For Byron, being a warrior is the highest-level act of service. It’s about humility, killing your ego, and fighting against comfort. His mission is to multiply protectors worldwide… and he has touched thousands and counting! 

 

Tune in to the show as Byron walks us through his day-to-day as an Executive Protector, getting in touch with your “Protector DNA”, using your free time for nourishment and learning, igniting that drive to fight the new fight, and putting professionalism first every step of the way.
