This episode’s guest, Ty Smith, is a 20-year SEAL veteran and business school golden boy – one of the few students who can say he launched his own business in a matter of weeks. For Ty, two decades of SEAL training came in handy when friends began to call on him for help in the wake of the San Bernadino shootings. These friends were scared for their own safety and the safety of their employees at work, and Ty knew he needed to seize on a gaping hole in the market – practical, impactful conflict and violence prevention training. Three weeks later, with the help of two classmates, Vigilance Risk Solutions (VRS) was up and running.

Tom Kereszti is a Hungarian immigrant, globetrotter, devoted father, and business guru who has lived or worked on every continent except Antarctica. After Tom graduated from NYU, he spent 11 years working his way up the corporate ladder before serendipity struck. Tom was working at Colgate Palmolive when his manager put together a development plan for him which included having to present to four executive Vice Presidents. In that same year, the Iron Curtain came down, and when those VPs were looking for someone who spoke Hungarian and held promise as a young leader, Tom was a perfect fit.
