About this listen

 Hosted by Quinton Coples, former NFL player turned CEO of Kingsmen Protection & Consulting, Line of Defense is where high performance meets high security. After years of battling in the trenches of professional football, Quinton now leads in an entirely new arena — protecting executives, celebrities, and high-profile individuals with the same discipline, strategy, and instinct that defined his career on the field. Each episode dives deep into the worlds of personal protection, leadership under pressure, mindset, discipline, and the transition from fame to focus. Quinton brings on fellow athletes, military veterans, security professionals, and entrepreneurs to share stories from the front lines — from the locker room to the battlefield, and from the boardroom to the red carpet. And in his weekly segment “Hot Takes,” Quinton weighs in on the sport that shaped him — football. With the insight of a former first-round draft pick, he breaks down what’s happening in today’s game — from player mentality and team culture to the evolution of competition and the business behind the sport. This is a show about more than defense — it’s about preparation, purpose, and power under control. Whether you’re an athlete, business leader, or simply someone striving to sharpen your edge, Line of Defense will inspire you to protect what matters most — your mission, your mindset, and your legacy.
