After leaving the Secret Service in 2015, Charles transitioned to the private sector, working in physical security for a biotech company. This experience helped him understand the importance of communicating the value of security to business leaders. Holly met Charles while he was in the Secret Service. She discusses some challenges of being married to a Secret Service agent, including the unpredictable schedule. She worked at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center during Operation Iraqi Freedom, specifically at the military's Advanced Training Center, which was the amputee center. After her time at Walter Reed, Holly worked with a special operations group in the Washington D.C. area, providing psychological skills training and mental training specifically for combat operations. She transitioned to working as the mental performance specialist for the Navy SEALs out in Coronado, California Together, Charles and Holly have now developed the Force Field app, which is designed to provide safety and security for lone workers like home health aides and real estate agents. The app allows users to check in and out, with missed check-outs triggering alerts to emergency contacts. They are passionate about creating a culture of safety and valuing employees through their technology solutions.

    Training to Fight Evil w/Brink Fidler :: Ep 208 MMTBP

    A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast....subscribe/follow/rate/review at www.mmtbp.com This episode is dedicated to the memory to Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, Katherine Koonce, Mike Hill and Cynthia Peak who lost their lives in the Covenant School shooting in Nashville. On March 27, 2023, a mass shooting occurred at The Covenant School in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville. 28-year-old Aiden Hale (born Audrey Elizabeth Hale), a transgender man and former student of the school, killed three nine‑year‑old children and three adults before being shot and killed by two Metropolitan Nashville Police Department officers.  It is the deadliest mass shooting in Tennessee history. Brink Fidler owns Defend Systems. His company trains large and small corporations, churches, schools and high profile figures for active violence empowerment and blood loss control.   Brink and I met when he hired me to produce a podcast he had at the time called, “Tips, Tactics and Tools”. We’ve been quite good friends ever since.  A year prior to the Covenant event, Brink and his team performed their training at the Covenant School with their staff. While it’s one thing for Brink to leave each training with the notion that the training could be put to use for any of his clients, it’s another for when it actually happens.   Follow Brink: www.defendsystems.com ______________________________________________________________________ ****SUBSCRIBE/RATE/FOLLOW the Mostly Middle Tennessee Business Podcast: www.mmtbp.com www.instagram.com/mostlymiddletnbusinespodcast www.instagram.com/jimmccarthyvos Tiktok: @jimmccarthyvos        __________________________________________________________ Shoutout to Matt Wilson for lending his voice to the new intro of MMTBP.
