Boom, shake the room, Fire Nation, JLD here, and welcome to Entrepreneurs on Fire, brought to you by High Level, the all-in-one sales and marketing platform. Today we'll be breaking down how to build safer businesses through smarter security. And to drop these vibe bombs, I brought August Helwick into EOFire Studios. August is the founder of Illuno, a platform connecting businesses and individuals with vetted off-duty law enforcement professionals to deliver proactive, trusted security solutions nationwide.

And today we'll talk about traditional security models, why they're breaking, vetting and trust at scale, proactive versus reactive security and oh so much more.
