🎙️ Prominent families face threats that very few people properly understand.

Most are not dramatic. They arrive quietly.

• A fixation
 • An online campaign
 • A trusted insider
 • A family member under pressure
 • A reputation damaged in hours

The sort of problems most advisers never see until it is too late.

👤 I'm Philip Grindell.

After 35 years at Scotland Yard and in government protection, including building Parliament's specialist threat assessment team after the murder of Jo Cox MP, I founded Defuse Global.

🎧 This podcast is a series of honest conversations with the people who deal with risk, crisis, and the pressure of prominence at the highest level.

🧠 Former FBI behavioural specialists
 ⚖️ Crisis advisers
 🛡️ Reputation lawyers
 🧬 Forensic psychologists
 🏛️ Family office leaders

Occasionally, principals themselves speak candidly about what prominence costs.

🚫 No drama.
 🚫 No fearmongering.

Just practical insight from people who have spent years dealing with real threats.

Because the real subject is not security.

➡️ It is helping people feel safer in public life.

🌍 Defuse Global works quietly with a small number of clients worldwide.

If this world feels familiar, the conversation need not end with the podcast.
