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.
