Between the Trenches and the Fine Print: Keith Zlomsowitch & Randy Sadler on Survival, Risk, and What It Means to Be Truly Protected

Some stories begin on a ski deck in Aspen. Others begin in a boardroom weighing risk against exposure. In this extended edition, two guests with vastly different backgrounds share one unexpected common thread — the profound cost of being unprepared for what life throws at you. Author Keith Zlomsowitch joins Neil Haley to recount one of the most quietly harrowing personal narratives connected to the O.J. Simpson murder case. As a man who dated Nicole Brown Simpson during her separation from O.J., Keith witnessed the escalating harassment, intimidation, and danger firsthand — and carried that weight in silence for decades. His book, Stalked: It Could Have Been Me, is finally his chance to speak.Keith walks listeners through the early days of his relationship with Nicole, the moment O.J.'s shadow entered the picture, and the chilling incidents that followed. He served as a pallbearer at Nicole's funeral, stood beside O.J. before his arrest, and turned down multimillion-dollar media offers to protect the integrity of the case. The trauma reshaped his life in ways that lasted long after the verdict. He wrote this book not for revenge, but for awareness — hoping that others might recognize the warning signs he once chose to look past.Then Ed Lyon welcomes Randy Sadler, Partner at CIC Services, for a conversation that trades courtroom drama for corporate discipline. Randy — a West Point graduate, former Army tank commander, and seasoned risk strategist — breaks down the world of captive insurance with the kind of clarity that's rare in financial circles. A captive isn't a tax loophole or a clever workaround. It's a licensed insurance company that a business owner controls — covering real risks, paying real claims, and built on real actuarial foundations. During COVID alone, CIC-managed captives paid out approximately $15 million in claims that traditional carriers refused to touch.Together, these two conversations form something larger than their individual parts. Whether the threat is a stalker at your door or an uninsured supply chain collapse, the message is the same: protection is only meaningful when it's real, when it's built with intention, and when it's in place before you need it. This is an episode about survival — personal, financial, and everything in between.
