How do you take a failing business unit and turn it into a multimillion-dollar success? What’s it like to be at the forefront of an industry before it even exists? And why is giving people a second chance so important? In this episode, I sit down with industry pioneer Fred Giles, whose career spans law enforcement, polygraph examinations, and leading some of the biggest names in background screening. We discuss his path from police officer to PBSA Chair, his work shaping accreditation programs, and his strong belief in second-chance hiring. Plus, we dive into his life post-retirement—RV adventures, Harley rides, and sporting clays included! This conversation is packed with insights, wisdom, and a little bit of fun. You don’t want to miss it!
