Private Bodyguard
In the early 2000s, I was downtown, sharing a moment with a good friend, when an encounter brought my past into the present. An individual recognized me from my days as a bodyguard for the Artist Prince.
Approaching with curiosity and determination, he expressed his desire to enter the game of executive protection. He was keen on becoming a private bodyguard for a celebrity. I shared a quick elevator pitch on achieving that dream, which sparked even more interest in his eyes.
As he walked away, my friend turned to me, puzzled, and asked, “What are you doing?” I was confused at first, “What do you mean?” I responded. He elaborated, “Giving him information on how to become a bodyguard.
Maybe you should consider writing or putting together a blog to disseminate this information to a larger group of people instead of one or two at a time.” At that moment, I didn’t even know what a blog was.
