What's your background? Why should anyone listen to you about how to be prepared for anything?

**Mike Glover** (4:19)
Yeah, I think mostly my background is in the military and the CIA. That's what I'm known for, but I don't think that's why I am the expert at preparedness. I think as a leader and as somebody who's managed a lot of people in the military, I know how to connect people who are assets, subject matter experts with people who are trying to get information to make themselves better. That's how I came to the conclusion that civilians needed preparedness in their life. Nothing complex. I think my field of experience is very narrow, very specific and its totality has a lot to do with preparedness, but not specifically. You need experts in all the fields, which I am not an expert in. I'm just a collaborator. I'm the conduit between experts and you and people.
