Built by Fire - Chapter 12: Close Protection, Global Mission (Audiobook)
When the call came to step into the world’s most dangerous environments, it wasn’t about prestige—it was about purpose. This chapter takes you inside David Burnell’s transformation from a warrior and rescuer into a protector on the global stage, becoming a certified PSD operator through Crisis Response International’s grueling counter-terrorism and bodyguard program. From live-fire drills to SERE training and TCCC under fire, every test refined the mindset needed to protect others when the world is burning. This wasn’t just about carrying a gun; it was about carrying the weight of leadership, stepping into chaos, and becoming the shield between violence and the innocent. From Afghanistan deployments to earthquake zones, this chapter is a testament to a mission that never ends—and to the warriors who keep moving forward so others can live.
