  • Inspiring!

    It’s such a breath of fresh air to spin all things safety from the historical approach to this new age approach. It boils down to something so simple that it’s scary. The truth. If company’s want to know the truth, the absolute truth, and nothing but the truth … scaaarrryyy!!! To face something scary, you have to be brave. Appreciate the work you’re putting into this mindset.

  • I’ve been listening for a decade and might have just heard the best show yet

    I just finished the hour long patient safety episode and it was the right message at the right time. I have learned a ton from Todd and his guest, but this one was above average.

    Todd, don’t feel like you have to keep the guest interviews to 20-30 minutes, longer is better. Every interview leaves me wanting more. Keep up the good work.
