LIFE-SAVING INSIGHTS: How to Protect Your Life, Business & Family in a Dangerous World with CEO of Security MPS, Private Investigator, Active Shooter Trainer, Michael Julian
Episode 711
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
Ever have one of those moments where everything looks great on the outside, but you suddenly realize you have not thought much about protecting the life you are working so hard to build? You are chasing big dreams, scaling the business, taking care of your family, and then it hits you. What about safety? What about awareness? What about being proactive instead of scrambling when something goes wrong? In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I chat with Michael Julian, a third-generation private investigator and the CEO of National Business Investigations. Michael began his journey into investigations and security at just 16 years old, working alongside his father. He later earned honors in Administration of Justice, became licensed across multiple states in executive protection, founded MPS Security and Protection, and created the ALIVE method, an active shooter survival training program. He is also a best-selling author, a father, and a true Happy Hustler who has spent decades seeing both the best and worst of human behavior. What makes this episode especially powerful is how relevant it is for entrepreneurs, leaders, and high performers. Michael shares why so many successful people make the mistake of treating personal and business security as an afterthought. This conversation matters because prevention is always easier than damage control, and awareness can literally save lives, reputations, and legacies. One of the biggest takeaways is the importance of being proactive instead of reactive. Michael explains that most people only think about security after something has already gone wrong. Whether it is personal safety, workplace violence, or online fraud, waiting until there is a crisis often means it is already too late. Building awareness early creates freedom, not fear. Another key lesson is the difference between a security mindset and a survival mindset. Security mindset is about preparation, awareness, and prevention. Survival mindset kicks in when a threat becomes real and immediate. Learning both allows you to stay calm, act intentionally, and protect yourself and others without panic. Michael also dives deep into situational awareness. Not paranoia. Not judgment. Awareness of behavior. Paying attention to what feels off can help you avoid dangerous situations before they escalate. This applies not only in public spaces but also in business partnerships, online interactions, and leadership decisions. The episode also highlights how common sense and verification are essential in the digital age. With scams, impersonations, and AI-generated fraud becoming more sophisticated, slowing down, double-checking information, and using available tools can prevent massive financial and emotional losses. Finally, there is a powerful reflection on growth, maturity, and fulfillment. Michael shares openly about evolving as a leader, working with family, letting go of old conditioning around overworking, and learning to enjoy the fruits of decades of hard work. It is a reminder that success without presence and balance is not the goal. Happy Hustlin' is. If you are building something meaningful and want to protect it while still living fully, this is an episode you do not want to miss. Go listen to the full conversation and soak in all the wisdom, stories, and practical insights. What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? Michael says belonging to a group of like-minded high performers that have probably been through a lot of the same struggles as me or other struggles that I can learn from.
