Today we’d like to introduce you to Jermaine Flythe.
Hi Jermaine, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
After I retired from the U.S. Army in 2018, I went to Afghanistan where I provided protective services for general officers and their staff. While there, is when I realized my passion for protection services of people, equipment and information. I returned to the U.S. 14 months later and hit the ground running. I reached out to some people who I felt where the industry’s standard and requested their advice and mentorship on breaking into the Protection Industry. I attended Executive Security (ESI) in Colorado where I received my formal training and the certification of Certified Protection Specialist (CPS) w/Honors. Since 2019, I’ve provided protective services for Celebrities, Musicians, Corporate CEOs and their C-Suite Executives, Political Figures, Clergy and Social Media Influencers. Our company also provides security consultants for physical security, film production and artist touring.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
There were many hurdles mainly on the business aspect and realizing what specific services I wanted to provide.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about G3A Protection?
G3A Protection which stands for God’s 3 Angels was established in 2019 because of my 3 beautiful daughters. My oldest passed away in 1998 but her sisters and I carry on her name each day.
We are a Protective Services/ Security Consultant company that has been certified by the South Central Texas Regional Certification Agency (SCTRCA) in the Small, Minority, and Veteran Business Enterprise (S/M/W/V) Program. We specialize in celebrity protection and touring, security consultant, covid compliance and security project management. We also offer firearm and executive protection training.
I’m known for my big smile and calming personality and is known by many as the “BodyGuard With A Smile”. I believe that everyone, no matter of their status, should feel safe in their space and environment. My motto is “Create to create a secure environment so that clients can operate in a protective manner”.
I am most proud of the level of success that my family and I have achieved in such a short time.
Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
The most important lesson that I’ve learned along this amazing journey is that no one day is the same and no two people are the same.
Each day will be different and clients will require and ask for different things. Helping them to keep their operations running smoothly is our priority.
No two people are the same in the sense of providing protective services. There are security guards and there are protection specialists. Just because you were a bouncer at a nightclub that a celebrity came to and you escorted them to the VIP section or a famous artist performed there, does not mean that you were their Protector. The difference is to understand the difference between Security and Protection.
