Spencer Coursen’s bio reads like something out of an action movie. He was an Airborne Ranger. He fought in Afghanistan. He worked for the government. He’s conducted more than 300 protective operations in more than 100 countries. He’s protected so many celebrities he could host his own highlight reel on TMZ. And, if all of that doesn’t sound impressive enough, he’s also proficient in “offensive and defensive driving, escape and evasion measures, and surveillance and counter-surveillance operations.”

In other words, Kevin Costner’s character in The Bodyguard was based on him.

(OK, that’s not actually confirmed, but it’s a theory.) In reality, he was the security consultant on the film Zero Dark Thirty and is the author of the best selling book, The Safety Trap.

Sometimes feeling safe is the most dangerous thing we do. This is the paradox of the "Safety Trap." In this session, Coursen will show you how to succeed in staying safe using real world examples from his global experience keeping celebrities, sports stars, models and more out of some of the most dangerous situations you don't want to imagine.
