I've been around music and film my whole life, and love watching and reading about all of the action backstage and behind the scenes.

From the independent film producer who has to make his or her day despite inclement weather, to the guitar tech changing the umpteenth set of strings on the bus at 2 AM, I'm fascinated by these people and their stories.

If you've ever wondered who some of those people are in the long list of credits at the end of a movie and how they got there, or who those sweaty folks in black T-shirts are doing on-stage before a concert or what the hell a record producer actually does, then this podcast is for you.
Thanks for listening.

John Guarnieri is the Chief Operating Officer of Silver Spear Security and is currently the Head of Security for the band Shinedown.

A graduate of Norwich University, Corps of Cadets, John knew immediately upon graduating in 2008 that he wanted to join the elite team of the Secret Service. He served his country in that capacity for several years and logged many miles on the road under the Obama administration.

In 2014 he made the decision to work in the private sector and when the opportunity to work with Silver Spear presented itself he jumped at the chance. Silver Spear Security offers everything from event security to court escorting.

For the last few years John has toured the world with Shinedown, providing security in variety of situations.
