  • Unparalleled Guest Speakers - Same Stories

    Really enjoyed the podcast as a first time listener. For emergency management podcasts, it has by far the best list of guests of any podcast in the industry. For fans who listen in the long-term, it’s frustrating to hear many of the same stories over and over again. It’s cool that someone helped launch the use of drones in 2017, but many DHS agencies had already implemented drones at the time, so it’s not like it was a revolutionary for that branch of government. I would rather hear more stories... more

  • Niche & Informative

    John has a very niche topic and obviously is an expert in the field of disasters, emergencies and large-scale rescue/relief operations. Found myself learning some practical tips to apply to my own life as well as some general facts and even human psychology that I hadn't heard before. Top notch.

  • Leadership Skills

    I first started listening because I want to be prepared for emergencies and thought I could get advice from the experts.

    Not only did I get some great ideas, I found myself taking notes! The discussions John has with those who have strong skills and “street level” experiences are invaluable.

    No matter your career field, you an apply what they suggest. I highly recommend this series.
