1:18

How you doing, Travis, I'm good, pretty

1:21

good.

1:22

Thank you for coming on the show to talk about your company

1:24

in The Guardian. Like I said, I've been in

1:26

a position I owned a couple of businesses

1:28

and one was a comedy club, and I use the

1:30

term. I hope I'm not being a

1:33

unprofessional. I say this rent a cop. And

1:35

that's when we said, when you're a rent a cop man, come by

1:37

and make sure our place is protected. And

1:39

now those are the type of people that you

1:41

provide when I say the term rent a

1:43

cop.

1:45

So no, we don't I

1:47

don't find an offensive or we don't use the word

1:49

rent a cop. You know, when you think of a

1:52

rent a cop, you think of an off duty officer.

1:54

You think of someone who has that legal ability

1:56

to either arrest or detain. You

1:58

know, for us is more of

2:02

our first thing is about safety, and

2:04

it's more of working with our clients

2:06

to build a tailor made uh

2:10

tailor made option for them in their security,

2:13

in their security efforts. You know, it's more of

2:15

a partnership of us working

2:17

with them to make sure all of their security

2:20

needs are met.

2:21

Now we've used the word partnership.

2:22

That means that I can set the standards

2:24

of the type of security I want based

2:27

on the attending event.

2:28

Correct, absolutely,

2:30

you know, prior to us

2:33

the assignment or the start date of the services

2:36

we work with. We sit down with our client and

2:38

we talk to them and we tailor make we customize,

2:40

you know, their security needs. If

2:43

they are a medical facility,

2:45

that works for for

2:47

example, we have a medical facility for

2:50

rehabilitations for children,

2:53

so we use a guard that is more

2:55

customer friendly, more more

2:58

personable, has a more of

3:00

an open and polite personality

3:03

than more of the physical presence. Right

3:05

for some of the for

3:07

some of the locations that we may have like an

3:10

hotel or warehouse,

3:12

you know, we may use more of a physical preference

3:14

there. So you know, it's a terrible approach.

3:17

We sit down with our clients. We sit

3:19

there, we listen to all their needs, all their

3:21

wants, all their concerns, and

3:24

we work together again like a partners

3:26

would work together.

3:27

What Travis, you got that great voice man that comes

3:30

from that twenty five years of HR experience.

3:32

Hope it does. You have to have the

3:35

calming voice to speak to some of these

3:38

employees. Some make it violent. You got

3:40

to be able to calm them down. You got

3:42

to be able to talk to them and meet them where they are.

3:45

So that's something that you learn

3:48

with over twenty five years dealing with employees

3:51

crazy non crazy. You

3:54

know, it's fun though. I love it. I love what I did.

3:56

Now, this is really interesting because of the fact

3:58

that whenever I hate the word, you

4:00

know, private investigation, you

4:03

know, I take I think TV

4:05

TV, you know, because because that's all I because

4:07

I've never actually actually

4:10

not I've never called upon anybody to

4:13

from a private investigator. Stay break

4:15

down, you know, the non TV

4:17

version of what private investigation

4:19

really is all about.

4:20

Yeah, it's it's not all the you

4:23

know, we're not looking into who may

4:25

murder the neighbor or anything like

4:27

that. We're not looking and stuff like that. Most

4:29

of the time. You know, in the corporate

4:32

world, it's more so looking inside,

4:34

coming into their corporate environment and finding

4:37

out certain things. Right, they can have maybe

4:40

some inventory missing, right, they can maybe

4:43

have some some some uh

4:45

uh uh, you know, some

4:47

money missing from a till or something,

4:50

or from somebody's money box or something

4:52

like that. It's for us investigating that

4:55

also some investigations as far

4:57

as you know, maybe someone who was

4:59

assaulted by a of employee or something

5:01

like that. We go in and it's just information

5:03

that can be provided. If there's any lawsuits

5:06

or any insurance claims or

5:08

anything like that, we provide in that information

5:10

that we found an investigation.

5:12

So I won't call you if I thank my girlfriend

5:14

cheating no meat and you follow around.

5:17

You wouldn't do that, you know, because you

5:19

would call that MTV show a cheater.

5:24

They'll do that. But for

5:26

for for us, you know, we concentrate

5:29

on the corporate environment and also small

5:31

businesses. Now we don't leave our

5:33

small business partners you know, out

5:35

of the fold there. But it's more of a corporate

5:38

environment. And when we talk about private.

5:40

Business, let's let's break that down a little bit,

5:42

because I didn't think about that private

5:45

investigation internally.

5:47

That gets in other words, if

5:49

someone steals money, instead

5:51

of going in and sitting down and pulling fingers,

5:54

they can bring your company in to

5:56

evaluate basically

5:58

become an arbitrator by gathering all

6:00

the information.

6:01

It was about that pathway.

6:02

Yeah, you know, you got investigating

6:05

and you know, talking to all the witnesses

6:08

talking to anyone

6:10

involved, interviewing them, gathering

6:12

statements, gathering evidence where

6:15

they were at that time, whether they see what

6:17

happened before the incident, what happened after the

6:19

incident, what happened during the incident, Gathering

6:22

all that information. Gathering uh,

6:24

you know, the information about the particular employees,

6:27

about you know, their life cycle of

6:29

employment with the company. You know,

6:32

look into any disciplinary actions they

6:34

may have in the past. You know, maybe

6:36

there was some you know, if it's a retail

6:38

company, maybe they had you

6:40

know, a multiple of shortages

6:43

come up when they're when they reconcile

6:45

their money during the end of the day,

6:47

which happens in the retail

6:50

industry, you know, looking

6:52

at all that and factoring all that and then

6:55

bringing out we don't we don't come

6:57

and say, hey, this person is guilty. We

6:59

don't come and see this person's not guilty. We

7:01

provide them with all the evidence that we have, all the

7:03

things that we found, and

7:06

then you know, they can make that decision

7:08

or again, you know, if there's any type of lawsuit

7:11

or anything, or they need to take it to

7:13

their board treating decisions. That's

7:15

the information they used.

7:16

Cool. I'm speaking with Travis t. Wade.

7:19

His company, The Guardian is a private security

7:21

corporation with three separate divisions, armed

7:24

and unarmed uniform security

7:26

officers personal protection. And

7:28

he was just describing the private investigation

7:30

is not the version you see on TV, but corporate

7:33

tied to small business where they go in and

7:36

probably gather information so the

7:38

case can be uh with the person

7:40

who is being accused or

7:42

the company who's doing the accusing as

7:45

all the facts from an independent source.

7:48

Correct, correct.

7:50

Now, I've managed Steve Harvey in

7:52

my lifetime. I'm also currently in relationships

7:55

with a.

7:56

With a managed relationship with Steven A. Smith.

7:59

And so I've seen personal security.

8:02

I've seen personal protection and

8:04

sometimes we went to a certain locations where

8:07

we had to up to annie because of the crowd

8:09

size. How did you get into personal

8:11

protection business? And describe your version

8:13

of it?

8:15

Please don't go anywhere. We'll

8:17

be right back with more Money Making Conversations

8:20

Masterclass. Welcome

8:30

back to the Money Making Conversations Masterclass,

8:33

hosted by Rashaan McDonald.

8:35

Well, I'll give you a little backstory

8:38

our founder. Our founder,

8:42

mister Benjamin T. Backer was

8:45

a retired NYPV officer

8:49

in New York City when

8:51

he retired from being n

8:53

YPV officer, he went into private

8:56

protection and his first

8:58

client was a music

9:00

industry record label giant,

9:02

which was def Jam Records, and

9:05

he went into private protection and

9:07

protecting one of their biggest artists, which

9:09

is DMX. This is back

9:11

in the mid nineties late

9:14

nineties, So that's where that started

9:17

with our company and when he when he went

9:20

on and created

9:22

Guardian Security Management, of

9:26

course that fraction of

9:28

the business had to be included into that. Included

9:31

with the armed and unarmed, it was also the

9:33

private protection because he definitely had experience

9:35

there. So the private protection comes

9:39

from that and it's and it's it's

9:41

all what it says, entails, you know, private.

9:44

It can be anywhere from executives

9:48

of CEOs of companies to celebrities

9:51

right two individuals

9:53

who just want a different

9:55

level of security when they go out.

9:58

It can be a normal civilian, you

10:00

know, if they want a certain level

10:02

of protection, security to feel safe,

10:05

right to feel comfort someone. And it's just

10:07

not about making

10:09

sure that one is harming you. It's also

10:12

about you know, you feeling that you

10:14

have someone with you that can that you can talk

10:16

to. We bring a human

10:18

aspect to it. A customer service

10:20

aspect to it, someone that you can

10:22

relate to, someone that you can enjoy

10:25

behaving with. But it's also one

10:27

point protecting your well being, protecting

10:30

your intellectual property, and making

10:32

sure that you reach your destination and

10:34

home in a safe and blessed condition.

10:36

I would tell you this when I think about

10:38

the growth of social media influencers,

10:41

the growth of hedge funds and

10:43

CEOs and all that

10:45

that portion of the business probably has grown

10:48

over the years.

10:48

Correct it has, it

10:51

has, and unfortunately

10:53

it's grown with a lot of

10:55

these mass shootings,

10:58

a lot of these really

11:02

fanatic fans out here that

11:06

take that part

11:08

of them being fan to the extreme

11:11

right really excuse

11:13

me, really taking that to an extreme

11:15

to where a celebrity or

11:17

someone of interest or

11:19

someone popular will need that type

11:21

of protection because you know, a fan is

11:24

just too involved with them to engross

11:26

into what they're doing, to where they

11:29

they feel that they're

11:31

entitled to be in their personal space.

11:33

They feel that they're entitled to

11:35

to, you know, be with them day

11:37

and night and do what they're doing. When you know, listen,

11:40

celebrities are just like us, right,

11:42

They're normal people. They

11:44

need their privacy, they need their personal space

11:47

and when a fan or someone

11:50

is violating that, that's when you

11:52

know the personal protection comes.

11:53

In a classic example like the head coach

11:55

of the Detroit Lions telling his

11:58

home because his daughters friend

12:00

posted their address, I believe on social

12:02

media and.

12:03

Then yeah, absolutely, I read about.

12:05

That and so that that that alarm.

12:07

So you know, you don't want to walk out out your front

12:09

door with a stranger standing

12:11

on your lawn or that that's

12:14

an uncomfort that people are uncomfortable. Uncomfortable

12:16

state a lot of people understand. But what a lot of

12:18

people understand is that a lot of ordinary

12:21

people out there making a lot of money, a lot

12:23

of people out there are influencers

12:26

and just because you don't know, but when they

12:28

get in the wrong area, when that's

12:30

in the wrong area, meaning where that fan base

12:32

is aware of who they are, then it

12:34

became security is need. How

12:36

does one go through the process

12:38

that your company evaluating

12:41

this is a client we should bring on board for personal

12:44

protection travel.

12:45

So of course it starts with the conversation, right,

12:48

and it starts with a conversation with the potential

12:50

client, just to make sure that it's a match,

12:52

right, and it's with anything

12:55

right it's it's you know, you want to you don't

12:57

want to compare it to like a dating side or anything,

12:59

right, but you want to make sure it's a match.

13:00

Right.

13:01

We we want to make sure that we can provide what

13:04

you need and that you are

13:06

a type of client that we want to want

13:08

to you know, do business with and partner with. Right.

13:11

You know, so we we look at someone I'll

13:13

give an example of someone that's maybe high

13:16

risk, but that might be in a

13:18

certain type of business

13:21

or industry that that doesn't match

13:24

with our goals and our priorities.

13:26

Right.

13:26

I don't want to go too deep into it, but

13:28

you know, someone might say I need personal

13:31

protection, and we asked why why do you need personal

13:33

protection? What's going on? We you

13:35

know, we we interview them, we allow them to

13:37

interview us, and we see,

13:39

as you know, listen, all money is not good money,

13:42

right. You know, even some of the

13:44

the the more criminal,

13:48

uh fraction of our

13:50

society needs personal protection to look for

13:52

personal protection, and that's not where we want to

13:54

kind of kind of be in, uh

13:57

you know, so we kind of stay away from that stuff.

13:59

So you know, again, you know, we

14:01

make.

14:01

Sure everybody needs protection, right,

14:04

Travis everybody.

14:07

But you delivered it.

14:08

But you delivered the note so smooth. Though

14:11

Rashana all money, it's not good money.

14:13

Even the criminal element needs protection.

14:15

And sometimes we just have to say that's

14:18

not the way we do business.

14:20

To call you.

14:21

You know what, when I first met you at Travis at

14:23

this event, what

14:26

really stuck to me or struck me was

14:28

the fact that you are a corporation. You

14:30

are an African American owned business, and

14:32

you're doing business not just in the city,

14:35

but you're doing it in several states. And

14:37

I told you that. I said, Wow, that's unusual. I

14:39

really want to interview you with that. Tell us

14:41

about you kind of mentioned earlier

14:43

about how it all started

14:46

in personal protection, how did the brand

14:48

because you was in corporate now now you're in entrepreneurship.

14:51

Tell us about that journey if you leaving the corporate

14:53

space, but also how this

14:56

company has grown to be in business

14:58

and three states nationwide.

15:00

Yeah, and you know, I'll start

15:03

with how it has grown. And

15:05

again I have to I

15:08

have to give you

15:10

know, the flowers,

15:13

the credit, the accolades

15:15

to our founding, our founder, mister

15:18

Benjamin Manor, who founded

15:21

Guardian Security over twenty

15:23

five years ago and built

15:25

it as a brand to

15:27

be dealt with in the Atlanta,

15:30

Georgia area, starting off with

15:32

you know, us being a preferred

15:35

vendor at the Olympics in

15:38

Atlanta in the early nineties

15:41

and partnering with major

15:43

corporations like the Coca Cola factory

15:46

here in Atlanta. You know, we started off being

15:48

their security vendor, and

15:51

then you know, also partnering with Georgia

15:53

Power and then some of

15:54

the other entities here in

15:56

Atlanta, and then moving on to

15:59

Alabama, you know, and particularly

16:01

Birmingham in Bestsemer

16:04

we have an office Investmer,

16:06

Alabama and partnering

16:10

with some medical facilities Divita

16:13

Dialysis in Birmingham,

16:15

we have around eight

16:17

locations they're partnering

16:20

with them, and also the Vicinious Medical

16:22

Facility in Alabama. We

16:24

have about seventy eight locations

16:26

there with them as well. And then

16:29

you know, doing all that branching off in North Carolina.

16:32

Now that's that's probably our newest venture.

16:35

Branching off of North Carolina, starting

16:37

off with partnering with some construction

16:40

entities to be a

16:42

physical presence during their pre construction

16:45

phase in their construction

16:47

phase, to partner with them and

16:50

looking to build greater relationships in the

16:52

North Carolina area. But

16:55

I decided to

16:59

leave my corporate world

17:02

of over twenty years in

17:05

a commercial retail

17:07

bank in New York City, one

17:10

of the only black managed, formerly

17:12

black owned retail

17:15

banks in New York City, Carver Federal Savings

17:17

Bank, to where I was the head of their human

17:19

resource office, to

17:22

come down to Atlanta and to run

17:26

and take over Guardian Security Management.

17:30

You know, as a kid, you always

17:32

think about you know, I was always

17:34

thinking about owning your own, right, you

17:37

owning your own being a boss,

17:39

right your kids? You want to be a boss, right, I

17:41

want to be a boss. You know, see you

17:43

raise suits and you think about being a boss.

17:46

And then and then you see all

17:49

of these boss figures all

17:51

over the place, all these these these black

17:54

individuals doing great things

17:58

and something I always wanted to do. But

18:00

you know, life starts to life

18:02

like life be lifing is some of the phrases

18:05

are now. So you know, my life

18:07

turned into a profession of HR,

18:10

which I love and I love working with HR and I

18:13

love working with people, and I think HR

18:16

kind of relates to every

18:18

industry. HR can be

18:20

transferred into every industry. You

18:23

know, from a corporate industry to small

18:25

businesses, from finance to

18:28

retail to security. Right,

18:31

it all relates because you all

18:33

do. You're always dealing with people, right, You're always

18:35

dealing with how to manage people right,

18:38

how to work with people

18:40

in every fraction of hrs relatable

18:43

to every industry. So

18:45

when I had the conversation with

18:48

our founding member and

18:52

he brought the opportunity to me to

18:54

come on over and take

18:57

over, it was of

18:59

course a lot of decisions.

19:00

That's New York to Atlanta.

19:01

Now, that's New York to Atlanta. The

19:04

money is not the same m hm.

19:07

You know, the base salaries aren't

19:09

the same. So you got to think about that. You

19:12

got to think about certain things. The hustle

19:14

will bustle. But I just

19:17

thought about as a kid, how it was thought

19:19

about being a boss and owning my own

19:23

and running something of

19:25

value, and being able to help our community,

19:28

being able to hire from our within

19:31

our community, being able to help our

19:33

people that are disadvantaged.

19:36

And this gives me that perfect opportunity. Of

19:38

course, I am a God free man. I prayed

19:40

on it. God tell me

19:43

do what you gotta do. Brother, I'm giving

19:45

you the blessing and I did it. Of

19:48

course, it's not easy, the

19:51

struggle and understanding

19:54

the dynamics here from New York to Atlanta.

19:57

Again it's New York to Atlanta.

20:00

But but it's been awesome, uh,

20:03

to the Atlanta metro

20:05

area. The people I haven't been meeting,

20:07

Oh my god. I couldn't ask for anything.

20:09

But it is definitely the Black Mecca.

20:12

So many opportunities for

20:14

for for min already owned businesses,

20:17

so many opportunities for women owned businesses,

20:20

so many great people to

20:22

meet, like yourself, you know, like

20:25

you initially spoke to mister Donald, mister

20:27

McDonald, it was just like, wow,

20:30

you tell me about the great things that you're doing

20:32

the podcast, and it was just awesome.

20:34

And then when I got the call, I just felt blessed

20:37

to even be able to speak with

20:39

you right now. But you know, I just

20:41

think I'm having a good time having fun. I

20:44

wouldn't think that you're coming. You're coming

20:46

into things and and and

20:48

bring certain uh

20:51

you know, uh work ethics

20:53

and bring certain priorities

20:57

from your executive world and

20:59

be experience that I'm bringing over to

21:02

this small business to try to and

21:05

to continue to grow it to be an

21:07

official corporate entity. You

21:10

know that we would have so many resources

21:12

down here.

21:13

So many there's Atlanta

21:15

special Man.

21:16

You know when I when when people

21:18

listen to the show and the Guardian,

21:20

that's the name of this private.

21:21

Security Guardian Security Matter.

21:25

What is the secret of your success

21:27

at the company's success.

21:31

I think being true to who we are,

21:34

not being someone we're not right.

21:36

We didn't been coming here trying to

21:38

be an allied universal right.

21:41

We're not trying to come in here

21:44

and treating our people, you

21:46

know, unfairly. You

21:49

know, it's it's being true to who you are and

21:52

being true to your people and your staff.

21:55

And I think that's what will

21:57

continue has continued us

22:00

should be where we are and will continue

22:02

us to grow.

22:03

We know.

22:04

I'm so proud of being having you

22:06

partners in it because, like I said, I've been exposed

22:08

to so many levels of security. I've

22:10

been fortunately living in Chicago, Los Angeles,

22:13

born and raised in Houston, now based in Atlanta,

22:15

Georgia. So I've been all over this country. I've

22:17

seen so African American men

22:19

and women who've been in the security business,

22:22

but no one who understood the model

22:24

or how to turn this into a corporation, how

22:26

to turn this into a business other than

22:29

an individual or just based

22:31

in the city, and you can see the

22:33

tentacles.

22:34

Of what it is.

22:35

You are a widespread company

22:37

that can build on RFPs

22:40

for security. And that's important

22:42

because you have a track record that says I

22:44

do like you said, can I do medical,

22:47

I do private, I do all levels.

22:50

Of it, and I got the insurance.

22:51

Plus I have their staffing and the accounting

22:53

that shows that we function as a company.

22:56

Well, if somebody wants to come into this

22:58

business, what is their business plan

23:01

to be in the security business?

23:02

Dravis?

23:04

So what what I've always told

23:07

UH managers, executives,

23:10

CEOs that I've that I've counseled

23:13

being an HR person is you have

23:15

to learn the business first.

23:18

You have to know the business. You

23:20

know you have even with me coming

23:23

into understanding HR, I had to learn

23:25

the business of security, which

23:28

I did, you know, joining forums,

23:30

joining excuse me, you

23:33

know, joining some

23:35

of these great uh

23:37

uh chamber of sites that are

23:39

out there. You know, you have to learn the business

23:41

of security or whatever industry you're getting

23:43

in. You need to really learn the business. And

23:47

the second thing is, you know, there's

23:49

always good to have a mentor you

23:52

know, someone who can guide you through you

23:54

know, no one does it by themselves. You

23:56

know, yes, you can be very independent

23:59

and self start all

24:01

the things that you preach when you're in an

24:03

interview, right, but no one does about

24:05

themselves, especially running

24:07

a business. No one does about themselves.

24:09

So invite people to

24:12

work with you who may know certain

24:14

things better than you.

24:16

You know, and always, you

24:18

know, be open to learning.

24:21

As you know I mentioned

24:24

earlier, was born and rais in Houston, Texas. So I'm

24:26

a country in New

24:28

York City is my favorite city.

24:30

I love. I love the crowd. I

24:32

love the hustling bustle.

24:33

So you know, now, give

24:36

me two things you miss

24:38

about New York City and give

24:40

me two things that you love about Atlanta,

24:42

Georgia.

24:44

All right, so let's start with two things

24:46

that I miss about New York City. One

24:50

thing would probably be the

24:53

authentic West Indian food.

24:56

Okay, gotcha, give

24:58

me a good jerk chicken from

25:01

from Crown Heights, Brooklyn and Flatbush,

25:03

Brooklyn. Man, that's awesome.

25:08

And the second thing would

25:12

probably be Christmas

25:14

in New York. I'm a I'm a

25:16

holiday per I love Christmas. The lights

25:19

in the city, beauty, It's awesome.

25:21

It's beautiful when they light the trees up

25:23

and they light up some of the

25:26

department stores on Fifth Avenue

25:28

and Madison, It's it's

25:31

wonderful. So some of the things

25:33

I love in Atlanta, Oh

25:36

my god, I love I

25:39

love the people

25:43

because they're so open to

25:47

helping, they're so open

25:49

to too meeting.

25:52

It's just the people themselves.

25:56

I guess that would be the pro the people

25:58

in the.

26:00

Yeah, that stands out because the

26:02

fact that Atlanta is unique and the

26:04

things that that's why Tyler Perry is successful.

26:07

That's why African Americans come here. They

26:09

are successful because there's a core and

26:12

that was set up many many years ago by the structure

26:15

of African Americans who had power

26:17

and didn't offend the white

26:20

structure. They work together and it gives

26:22

us an opportunity to be as successful. But Travis,
