Marcus Stephens-Ofner has spent more than 35 years protecting people across the British Army, conflict zones, corporate security, and executive protection. In this episode, he shares how sound risk judgment must adapt as the environment changes, and why communication, humility, and real-world experience matter when the stakes are high. The conversation explores duty of care, crisis leadership, travel security, and the security disciplines that hold up when plans collide with reality.

In this episode of Full Spectrum Risk, Chuck Randolph sits down with Brandon Shafikhani, Founder and CEO of Samaritan Protective Services, to discuss what modern executive protection and risk management require in today’s operating environment. Drawing from Brandon’s military background and his experience building Samaritan across the U.S. and U.K., the conversation explores standards, operational discipline, regulatory awareness, and the shift from traditional security toward intelligence-driven protection.
