Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026 OSMOSISCON with Ritu Gil and Bret Anderson
Q: Okay. So Brett, we had talked about earlier about selecting speakers and how do you go about doing that?
We use a blind panel to evaluate topic quality and learning objectives, with community-driven selection for main stage speakers to ensure relevance and variety; surveys and feedback guide future topics.
Leading Through Chaos with Sal Lifrieri
Q: How do you balance being the decision-maker with empowering your team?
By fostering an environment of dialogue, role-playing, and scenario planning, you ensure the team can contribute ideas, anticipate consequences, and execute with confidence when needed.
Leading Through Chaos with Sal Lifrieri
Q: What motivated you to write Leading Through Chaos and how does it apply to everyday leadership?
The book distills real-world experiences from crisis work into practical leadership principles, emphasizing humility, mentorship, and building systems that enable others to act effectively during high-stress situations.
Working With National Law Firms and Accident Reconstruction With Josh Wooten
Q: What role does technology play in your investigations?
Technology is central: AI-assisted checklists, drone footage, CAD renderings, and fast data sharing with attorneys. We create a comprehensive handoff package for experts, which often strengthens mediation positions and can lead to quicker resolutions.
Working With National Law Firms and Accident Reconstruction With Josh Wooten
Q: How do you decide when to deploy investigators on a case?
We use a red-flag system from intake, considering factors like high-speed or commercial vehicles, the need for EDR preservation, and the potential for strong liability. If the case looks viable and valuable, we mobilize quickly to gather evidence, photos, witness statements, and downloads to hand off to experts.
