The Wit and Wisdom of Frank Gallagher

The Wit and Wisdom of Frank Gallagher is a collection of articles written for the Executive Protection Community and covers subjects most others avoid.

The e-book is for those just entering the business, or as Frank calls them the FNG€s, and for the seasoned veteran. In fact the e-book should be required reading before selecting a training program or for that matter before entering the business. Laced with sarcasm, humor and a great deal of education, the articles explain the reality of Executive Protection work.

The subjects vary from Training, leadership, integrity and an honest look at what it takes to get work. As an example here is an excerpt from his article €œExecutive Protection €“ Have We Lost Perspective?€œ:

€œ99% of the population goes through their daily lives avoiding confrontation at all costs, the EP Agent puts themselves directly in the path of potential danger. We strive to keep them from being hurt, killed, their kids kidnapped, from being blackmailed, embarrassed, or cast in an unflattering light. This is an honorable profession. We do what we do because we can. We fight for those who can€t or won€t fight for themselves. We allow them to live a semblance of a normal life.€
