Dan Hughes has walked into gunfire, negotiated with warlords, patrolled riots, and trained bomb-sniffing dogs to detect the invisible. From Secret Service agent to Blackwater operator and elite K9 handler, he’s been tested in places where hesitation gets you killed. In this gripping interview, Dan shares his near-death moments — and why faith, not fear, is what’s kept him alive.
