The Defuse Podcast: Feel Safer in Public Life
🎙️ Prominent families face threats that very few people properly understand.
Most are not dramatic. They arrive quietly.
• A fixation
• An online campaign
• A trusted insider
• A family member under pressure
• A reputation damaged in hours
The sort of problems most advisers never see until it is too late.
👤 I'm Philip Grindell.
After 35 years at Scotland Yard and in government protection, including building Parliament's specialist threat assessment team after the murder of Jo Cox MP, I founded Defuse Global.
🎧 This podcast is a series of honest conversations with the people who deal with risk, crisis, and the pressure of prominence at the highest level.
🧠 Former FBI behavioural specialists
⚖️ Crisis advisers
🛡️ Reputation lawyers
🧬 Forensic psychologists
🏛️ Family office leaders
Occasionally, principals themselves speak candidly about what prominence costs.
🚫 No drama.
🚫 No fearmongering.
Just practical insight from people who have spent years dealing with real threats.
Because the real subject is not security.
➡️ It is helping people feel safer in public life.
🌍 Defuse Global works quietly with a small number of clients worldwide.
If this world feels familiar, the conversation need not end with the podcast.

Mind Management and Psychological Health with Tracey Jones
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Being wealthy, prominent, and successful doesn’t mean all your problems disappear. A study co-funded by the Gates Foundation published in the Wall Street Journal found that many of the ‘Ultra-rich’ turn out to be a generally dissatisfied lot whose money has contributed to deep anxieties involving love, work, and family. Being the subject of reputationally harmful and sometimes untrue media stories, harassed by trolls and stalked by fixated people causes paranoia and hypervigilance, which can harm decision-making and drive people towards unhealthy behaviours. When that occurs, they turn to Tracey Jones. Tracey is a mind management coach, language alchemist, and a trusted and respected confidante to numerous high-profile individuals, UHNW, and their families. In this podcast, Tracey shares her experience working in this space and the tips and tools she uses to help her clients through some of their darkest times, using the bespoke PAT methodology she has designed.
BIO
Tracey has been a mind management coach for about nine years. She began her career as an educator, giving a solid foundation to this part of her chapter. In 2013/2014, she went through a challenging period and sought support. She quickly recognised that this support was compelling and decided not only to build herself back up but also to transfer the skills to others. Since then, she has worked around the clock on mastering various skills and techniques and now dedicates her time to teaching others the language of their unique life. Being known for her discretion and privacy makes her clients feel safe while working through their problems.
