EP 26 : Be the best - Israeli diplomatic security

Dadi is one of those types of men that you meet and you genuinely want to believe that he’s just special, that he simply built from something different and that he naturally has always just been on another level. When you actually speak with him, however, it becomes dramatically apparent that he is extremely down-to-earth and while he definitely is on another level than most and brings with him the types of experiences most of us have only read or dreamed about, he is a very warm, caring and down-to-earth individual. During my time with him in the field, I learned many valuable lessons both about executive protection and about life. He is simply the type of leader I really wish could influence more agents in our field. He was forged in a nation under constant threat and his professional career has the stripes of real-world experience within the protection game. He maintains strict disciplines with regards to his physical fitness, diet and intellectual prowess which gives him a monk-like feel at times and when it is time to work a whole different side to him comes out altogether. I hope that this interview gives the listener the opportunity to benefit from Dadi in ways that will make us all better practitioners in the end.
