What does it really take to keep people safe without creating fear?

On this episode of Huntsville Hustle, Joe Martin sits down with Joshua Perr, owner of Hedge of Protection Security Service, to talk about security, leadership, situational awareness, and entrepreneurship in North Alabama.

Joshua shares how his military and corrections experience shaped his approach to protection, why de-escalation and understanding human behavior are critical to effective security, and why he hires for character and communication—not just toughness or experience.

They also discuss practical personal safety and situational awareness, Joshua's “prepared, not paranoid” philosophy, building a trustworthy security team, and how one simple conversation helped him land his first client.

A great conversation about Huntsville entrepreneurship, leadership, personal safety, security, and building a business around service and trust.
