Podcast appearances and mentions of brian owens

This week, the crew sit down with Brian Owens, VP of Safety & Team Development at Buesing Corp., author, songwriter, and a leader whose philosophy challenges the industry to rethink what safety really means. Drawing from a career spanning combat engineering, mining, oil & gas, and heavy civil construction, Brian introduces listeners to the concept of “inversion” — the idea that true safety culture isn't built through rules and enforcement, but through perspective, connection, and shared humanity.  Rather than treating safety as compliance paperwork or a reaction to incidents, Brian explains why behavior only changes when people understand why safety matters to each other — not just to policy. The discussion dives into the tension many organizations face between production and protection, revealing why separating safety from productivity may actually create more risk instead of less. Throughout the episode, storytelling takes center stage. Brian shares lessons learned from high-risk environments where leadership presence, vulnerability, and trust made the difference between near-misses and tragedies. The conversation explores how leaders can recognize performative safety cultures, shift from reactive investigation cycles, and build what he calls a “zero-incident mindset” — a cultural belief system rather than a metric. Listeners will walk away with practical insights, including: -Why compliance alone rarely changes behavior -How perspective reshapes risk awareness -The role of humility and leadership vulnerability on jobsites -Small “inversions” organizations can implement immediately -Why safety and production must operate as one system, not competing priorities At its core, Episode 273 reminds us that safety isn't about preventing failure — it's about valuing people enough to change how we see one another at work. Song of the Week from the Phoenix-based High Lonesome Drifters.

BRIAN OWENS Sentado à mesacom Brian Owens, pode-se ter a sensação de estar conversando com uma pessoa calma e autoconfiante, mesmo sendo uma poderosa voz da soul americana. Ele não projeta a vida agitada de um artista de sucesso internacional, mas sim a energia profunda que domina sua música. Criado em St. Louis, sua música reflete uma cidade impregnada de blues, soul e folk, resultando em um estilo inconfundivelmente seu, mas que remete a artistas comoMarvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Al Green e seu pai, Thomas Owens. "Quero ter minha própria voz, mas de uma forma que seja familiar às pessoas", diz Owens. “Então, eu gosto das comparações porque significa que as pessoas se sentem confortáveis ​​com as minhas influências”. No início, como um dos vocalistas do Sidewinder, se tornou uma sensação no YouTube com 2,5 milhões de visualizações. “Estou muito animado com a exposição”, diz ele. “Exposição positiva é sempre boa, mesmoquando não estou no centro das atenções.  Em seu primeiro single com distribuição nacional, “I Just Want to Feel Alright”, Owens evoca suas experiências universais de dor e desespero, e ao mesmo tempo, esperançoso para os nossos tempos. Brian atribui grande parte do seu estilo de interpretação à constância da natureza humana. "Descobri que não há nada de novo sobre o que escrever – apenas novas maneiras de escrever sobre os ciclos empolgantes, da vida.  A música que toca as pessoas é sobre a natureza humana. Isso não muda. O que nos torna vulneráveis, o que nos assusta, o que nos faz felizes."O primeiro grande lançamento de Brian, “Moods & Messages”, é, segundo ele próprio, a trilha sonora de sua jornada como artista de soul. Teve o apoio da gravadora Destin Records, de St. Louis, e distribuição pela RED, de Nova York, da Sony Music. Owens afirma:“Moods & Messages fala sobre equilibrar os sentidos e transmiti-los.  “Moods & Messages” foi lançado em setembro de 2012 no Japão.  Encanta em Brian sua dedicação à esposa, Amanda, e aos quatro filhos, e seu compromisso como um cristão fervoroso, inclusive coordena programas comunitários da OrquestraSinfônica de St. Louis.  Discografia: 2008- The Cole Session2009- & Martha Mae, Live at The Sheidon Concert Hall 2012- Moods & Messages2014- You're All I Need, Sings Marvin Gaye2014- Preach!2017- Soul of Ferguson2017- Soul of Cash2021- & The Royal Five2025- Duets whith Dead

In this episode, Brian Owens is joined by Dana Foley (Head of Catastrophe Research at Chaucer), Joss Matthewman (Chief Revenue Officer at Reask) and Olivia Sloan (Head of Catastrophe Products at Fathom) to explore the growing influence of specialist model vendors in catastrophe risk modelling and why they're anything but “niche”. With decades of combined experience across underwriting, model development and scientific research, the panel discusses how climate change, regulatory pressure and the need for portfolio-specific insight are pushing insurers to reconsider single-platform dependency. They explore how new vendors are filling gaps left by traditional models offering science-led, transparent and highly customisable solutions tailored to specific business needs. Drawing on their respective roles across the risk ecosystem, the panellists explain why the return to multi-modelling is gaining momentum and how platforms like Oasis are helping democratise access to emerging tools. In this conversation, the panel explores: Why “niche” models are proving critical in underserved perils, regions and use cases The evolution from black-box outputs to transparent, collaborative frameworks How science-first models enable faster innovation and user-driven risk views What's enabling and blocking wider adoption of multi-modelling approaches How Fathom and Reask are using AI and machine learning to improve model fidelity Why regulatory scrutiny and climate change demand a more agile modelling approach The role of open platforms like Oasis in supporting innovation and vendor access What insurers need to consider when building a tailored, future-ready modelling strategy Sign up to the InsTech newsletter for a fresh view on the world every Wednesday morning.

This week we have the highly anticipated Brian Owens & The Deacons of Soul in a live performance captured at the Levitt Shell. Brian Owens comes to us from his hometown of St Louis, our Mississippi River cousin to the north. Much like our rivertown neighbor to the south, New Orleans, it's a city long associated with the sounds of the African American created genres of blues, jazz, gospel, and soul. He recently released an album called Soul of Cash… a soulful reimagining of works from Memphis music icon Johnny Cash's catalouge. Grammy nominated blues man, Guy Davis, will also be with us to deliver an installment of the Blues Hall of Fame, an exploration of the lives of the pioneers and innovators enshrined in the Blues Hall of Fame.

Oh my word...yet another value adding and life changing episode! The guys were joined in-studio this week by our good friend Brian Owens. We believe Brian to be the FIRST in the "5 Timer" club! By day, Brian is the Vice President of Safety & Team Development at Buesing Corp. By night, Brian is not only a very talented musician, songwriter and author, but also a passionate crusader of workplace safety. As a philosopher, he strives to provide perspective to help people remember that the reason we work in the first place is to provide a sustainable means for the people, freedoms, and activities we all hold dear. As a safety professional, he reminds those same people that if we aren't behaving safely, and if we aren't being aggressively proactive to ensure the sustainment of our chosen ideals, we are just allowing situational circumstances to dictate the direction, and the outcome. Remember, if it ever gets hopeless, you overlooked something...let all that sink in! Music by Lynyrd Skynyrd!!

In this week's lesson from the book of Hebrews, Brian Owens brings a message from Hebrews 8:6-13 as we continue to learn how Jesus Christ is better: a better priest, prophet, and King who brings better promises.

The Effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas MPAs have been proven to be an influential tool for marine conservation, with evidence showing improvements in biodiversity, habitat restoration, and fish stock regeneration within these protected zones. However, the effectiveness of MPAs can be limited by factors such as inadequate funding, weak enforcement, and lack of stakeholder involvement. Andrew Lewin believes that despite these challenges, MPAs remain vital for protecting the oceans. He discusses how well-managed MPAs contribute to the regeneration of fish stocks, bringing long-term ecological and socioeconomic benefits. Lewin also emphasizes the need for verified and validated research supporting MPA effectiveness, mentioning a recent study on large MPAs' impact on established fisheries.

Calgary immigration lawyer Evelyn Ackah speaks with her clients Brian and Michael, American expats in Canada who moved to Calgary in September of 2018. Brian Owens and his husband Michael Dettner had the opportunity to move from Tennessee to Alberta, Canada for Brian's job as Artistic Director for the Calgary Film Festival. Brian accepted the job, and the film fest contacted Evelyn Ackah and Ackah Business Immigration Law to get his LMIA as a senior highly Skilled Foreign Worker. Brian started work in Calgary a few weeks later. Michael needed to apply for a Canadian visa for an open Spousal Sponsorship and received a 2-year Temporary Resident work permit before moving to Canada, which Ackah Law handled. Brian and Michael's American expats in Canada journey includes living through COVID in a new country while trying to qualify for permanent residence, which they finally received in 2023. This is their expat story. The Calgary International Film Festival retains Ackah Business Immigration Law for guidance on immigration matters.Evelyn, Brian and Michael discuss:Why moving to Canada in 2018 was the best decision they ever madeAs Americans, why did they want to move to CanadaHad they ever lived outside the United States beforeWhat surprised them most about expat life in CalgaryAlthough they moved here together, Brian already had a job offer in Canada, while Michael - the trailing spouse - had to apply for Spousal Sponsorship. How did this make their immigration journey's different?Now that you've lived in Canada for 5 years - and lived here through the pandemic, experiencing all the delays getting your paperwork approved, what were their biggest misconceptions about living in Canada - good and bad?Are their friends mainly Canadians, Americans, expats or…???Before moving to Canada, what did their friends in America think about this decision?Brian and Michael have lived in Canada for a while and become Canada permanent residents, what do their American friends and family think now?If another American asked for advice about moving to Canada, what would you tell them?

We believe that shining a light on safety is the best way possible to kickoff 2022! The guys were joined this week by Brian Owens. Who is Brian Owens you ask...besides being an American hero...he is a husband, father, musician and the author of "Inversion and the Perspective-Based Safety Culture". This is a completely different way of looking at safety that we believe will move you as it did us. Some of the items discussed include avoidable accidents, finding & fixing, risks associated with being reactive vs proactive, the power of perspective-based safety and how it changes habits, pre-employment behavior development, the significance of a compass, and does one-size fit all? PJ reinforces his love for Elon...BS is back in the saddle and DD has holiday brain fog. Brian Owens is quoted. Music for this episode by Pantera!!!

Brian Owens sings soulful Motown inspired R&B songs with his band the Deacons of Soul and his community outreach centers around giving underserved youth the opportunity to experience music making. His latest album shares cowriting credits with some of them but for this song we're going back to twenty seventeen when it was Brian Owens that did the learning -- from none other than Doobie Brother substitute vocalist turned full time lead singer Michael McDonald. The two revisited a song Brian Owens and the Deacons of Soul first recorded some years back on what Brian calls his ‘demo album'. That song got the proper treatment on the two thousand seventeen album “Soul Of Ferguson”. They both grew up singing gospel music in church in Ferguson, Missouri and they both went on from there to reflect messages of their faith in careers as singers and songwriters.For this episode, Brian shared nine multitrack session files and we'll start by hearing him shower Michael McDonald's vocal performance with some much deserved praise for inspiring Brian to step it up. Here's Brian talking about the singing that changed it all for him.
