HIGHLIGHTS Introducing Carlo Pacileo The Prime Minister's security details and routine A culture of obedience The complacent nature of security QUOTES Carlo on heavy reliance on local police instead of personal agents: “In my opinion, they've relied too much on pulling local police from instead of using their own agents, I don't know what their policy is compared to ours, where you get protection for life as a former head of state.” Carlo discusses the culture of obedience in Japan: “Here it's a culture where everyone does what they're told, for the most part. There aren't any rebels. There aren't any there. No one smashing in the windows and flipping over cars and burning all that stuff when they're upset compared to the States at times.” Carlo talks about the complacency of security: “It's not just the no-crime thing. They're so used to everyone falling in line, everyone. You put out a government announcement, like with the mass thing, or stay indoors, everyone, everyone follows orders.” Connect with Carlo and learn more about his work with the link below: About Carlo To hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen to major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video.
