#862: Cathy Lanier, Chief Security Officer of the NFL — From 9th-Grade Dropout to DC's Longest-Serving Police Chief, Protecting the Super Bowl, and Resilience Under Extreme Pressure

The Tim Ferriss Show

Tim Ferriss is a self-experimenter and bestselling author, best known for The 4-Hour Workweek, which has been translated into 40+ languages. Newsweek calls him "the world's best human guinea pig," and The New York Times calls him "a cross between Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk." In this show, he deconstructs world-class performers from eclectic areas (investing, chess, pro sports, etc.), digging deep to find the tools, tactics, and tricks that listeners can use.

Cathy Lanier is the Chief Security Officer of the National Football League, where she oversees security across the league office and all 32 clubs. Before the NFL, she served as Chief of Police of Washington, D.C., from 2007 to 2016 — the first woman in the role and the longest-serving chief in the force's history — where her strategies helped cut violent crime by 21 percent even as the city's population grew 15 percent.This episode is brought to you by:<ul><li><a href="https://www.eightsleep.com/tim/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eight Sleep Pod Cover 5</a> sleeping solution for dynamic cooling and heating: <a href="https://www.eightsleep.com/tim/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">EightSleep.com/Tim</a> </li><li><a href="https://shopify.com/tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shopify</a> global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business: <a href="https://shopify.com/tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shopify.com/tim</a></li><li><a href="https://helixsleep.com/tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Helix Sleep</a> premium mattresses: <a href="https://helixsleep.com/tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HelixSleep.com/Tim</a></li><li><a href="http://wealthfront.com/Tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wealthfront</a> high-yield cash account: <a href="https://wealthfront.com/Tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wealthfront.com/Tim</a> </li></ul>Wealthfront disclaimer: <a href="https://wealthfront.com/Tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New clients get 3.30% base APY from program banks + additional 0.75% boost for 3 months on your uninvested cash</a> (max $150k balance).
