About this listen

 “Welcome back to A Day in the Life of Security and Loss Prevention. I’m Jeff, and today I want to start with something personal—why I chose this career in the first place.

For me, security has never been just a job. It started with an early awareness of how quickly things can go wrong when no one’s paying attention. That mindset carried me into the Marine Corps, where I learned the importance of vigilance, accountability, and protecting others. Those lessons never left me.

After the military, I wanted a career where those same instincts mattered—where I could still protect, still prevent, and still make an impact. That’s what led me to security and loss prevention. It’s not about catching every single problem; it’s about creating an environment where people feel safe to do their work and live their lives.

Over the years, I’ve seen how this field touches everything—retail, logistics, corporate offices, even communities. And through it all, I’ve learned that security isn’t just about policies or technology—it’s about people.

That’s the ‘why’ behind this podcast. I want to share stories and lessons that go beyond the headlines and statistics, and show what security really looks like in practice.

Thanks for listening to my story. In the next episodes, we’ll dig into real cases, challenges, and wins from the field.”Copyright Podcraftr
