Episode Details

After a career in the military, Shawn Ritchie found himself looking to build a new chapter in his life. Utilizing his training, he went to school to become trained and certified as a security professional

After several years of operating as a contract security professional, he decided to launch his own business, Bluegrass Protection Services.

In this interview, Shawn shares some of the stories of his company's growth, and how his future plans are headed in multiple directions.

One thing I appreciated about this interview is his attitude about failure. A common theme I see in almost all of these interviews is the need for courage and persistence. As he put it, "failure is your first attempt at learning".
