How to be a Remarkable Student of Security with Dr. Ygnacio “Nash” Flores

08/10/22 • 59 min

#016 - In this next Episode, I was honored to be joined by Dr. Ygnacio “Nash” Flores, an experienced educator and security leader. Nash is a professor teaching Homeland Security, Administration of Justice, and Corrections at Rio Hondo College in Whittier, CA. Prior to his teaching roles, he was the Dean of Public Safety. And he also served in the US Navy for 26 years — he was enlisted for 14 years, before earning his commission and eventually retiring as a Lieutenant Commander responsible for leading physical security and law enforcement projects.
Plus, he's a fellow USC Trojan (fight on!). That's where he earned his doctorate in Education.
During our chat, Nash shared some excellent insights from his experience in working with young people as a professor and from his deep experience in security and public safety roles. Some of the topics we touched on included: cultural intelligence, allowing people to make mistakes (to learn from them), and much more.

So, You Wanna Build a Medical Kit? with Michael Guirguis, M.D.

#17 - In this next episode I was honored to be joined once again by Michael Guirguis, M.D. He is currently a practicing emergency medical physician, a Medical Director for an ultra high net worth family office, he supports the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s as a Deputy Flight Physician, and he’s also a contributor to the Board of Executive Protection Professionals. In terms of education, he’s a graduate of Harvard Medical School, UCLA, and also a Loma Linda Medical Center post-grad.
Today's discussion is really cool because it gets away from the normal format of the show to focus on one topic specifically: medical kits.
How should we think about the medical kits that we build, how should we pack them, what are common mistakes? Plus, for the last 25 min of the show, Dr. Guirguis critiques my medical bag and gives me considerations for improving it.
