Why EPTD 2.0?
Because you want to show up to your next detail with the skills, mindset, and presence of a top-tier agent.
Because your résumé alone won’t get you hired relationships and results will.
Because private sector protection requires a different approach than military or law enforcement—and few schools teach that difference.
Because success isn’t luck—it’s preparation, access, and alignment with the right mentors.
What You’ll Learn
This is not theory. EPTD 2.0 is a digital masterclass rooted in private-sector reality—where resources aren’t guaranteed, and performance is everything. Inside this course, you’ll gain:
Advanced EP Tactics & Real-World Scenarios
Hard-to-find private sector insights
Skills that apply to any detail—celebrity, corporate, high-net-worth, or international
Situational leadership and adaptability training
The mindset of elite protectors who win long-term

Byron Rodgers
Founder | The League of EP Specialists
During my time in the military, I served in the United States Marine Corps infantry with two deployments to Iraq as a Squad Leader for four years. Right afterward, I became an Executive Protection Agent.
Today, I proudly serve as the Chief Executive Officer at Bravo Research Group, a private security company out of Southern California. I’m the founder of Protector Nation, a training company for first responders, private security professionals and civilians designed to help good people become more dangerous.
I own and operate my own executive protection school and training organization called The League of Executive Protection Specialist, where I help private security professionals take their careers to the next level.
