From Navy SEAL sniper with Special Operations and Intelligence Community experience to Co-Founder of DeliverFund, a counter human trafficking organization.
That’s this week’s Team Never Quit Podcast guest, Jeremy Mahugh. Marcus and Jeremy get in the weeds regarding Jeremy’s involvement in the development of cell phone app technology capable of identifying potential human trafficking risks as a preventive measure against being victimized.
DeliverFund is run by a team of former CIA, Special Ops, and law enforcement personnel. The nonprofit uses open-source intelligence and proprietary software to analyze the activity of human traffickers in the U.S. and help law enforcement take them down.
