Season 1
6 episodesThe Bug Sweeper
TSCM Technician
There are roughly twelve people in the United States who do this job full-time in the private sector. They charge $3,000–$5,000 a day. Their equipment costs half a million. And unless you've worked in government intelligence, you can't even get trained for it.
The Invisible Bodyguard
Protective Surveillance Operative
They follow you everywhere and you never know they're there. That's the point. A career built entirely on being unseen.
The Floating Mechanic
Yacht Chief Engineer
Making $200K to keep a 60-metre vessel running in the middle of the Mediterranean. No parts store. No backup. Just you and the engine room.
The Career Nobody Applies For
Family Office Chief of Staff
There is no job posting. There is no career path. Yet it's one of the most trusted, highest-paid positions in private wealth. Here's how people end up there.
You Don't Need to Be a Pilot
Private Aviation Flight Coordinator
You manage a $60M aircraft's schedule, maintenance, crew, and compliance. The pilots fly. You make sure there's something to fly.
Running a $50M Property Like a Hotel GM
Estate Manager
Seventeen staff. Four properties. One family. You're the person who makes sure the flowers are right, the HVAC works, and the chef knows about the allergy.
