Ton Jones is known by many as the larger-than-life personality from Auction Hunters, but behind the television career, firearms expertise, and decades in the outdoor industry is a story shaped by loss, resilience, responsibility, and human connection.In this deeply personal conversation, Ton joins Michael Sodini and Kevin Berry to discuss the unexpected rabbit holes he discovered while listening to the Guns & Mental Health podcast, his concerns about how suicide prevention and firearm policy are approached, and why meaningful progress requires people from different communities to sit down and truly listen to one another.Ton shares a powerful story about supporting a suicidal veteran during a hunting trip, reflects on helping researchers better understand firearms at SHOT Show, and explains how his years working in Hollywood taught him to translate complicated and emotionally charged topics between people with very different perspectives.He also opens up about surviving on his own as a teenager, losing nearly everything when his home was robbed and burned down, the sudden death of his father, the loss of his grandfather, and the lessons that helped him rebuild rather than allow grief and anger to consume him.The conversation also explores responsible firearm ownership, the family traditions that shaped Ton's understanding of safety and secure storage, and the daily practices he now uses to protect his own mental wellness.This episode is ultimately about showing up: for family, for friends, for veterans, for people who are struggling, and even for those whose perspectives may be very different from our own.Because sometimes a conversation, a phone call, a shared campfire, or a simple question “How are you doing?” can help bring someone back to life.Send us Fan MailWalk the Talk America would like to thank our partners who make these conversations possible and would like to highlight our top two partner tiers below!

Haverhill Police are using drones to assist traffic navigation and these could also soon be used to quickly get life preservers to potential drowning victims.Police Capt. Garrett Sarfde, appearing recently on WHAV's “Win for Breakfast” show, shared what three new drones will achieve for the department. Haverhill Police first used the drones for the fourth of July fireworks ceremony, July 3, to monitor traffic and public safety. He explained how the drones helped ease the flow of traffic leaving the show.“Logistically, getting everybody out of the area when the fireworks end has always been a little bit of a challenge. This year was probably the fastest that we got people out of there because we were able to put the drone above the intersections and determine the best route to send people and make sure that people were getting onto the rout that they needed to get to,” Sarfde said.The drones, which are approximately 24 to 30 inches across, are the same type used by the U.S. military. Capabilities include thermal heat sensing, speakers that can sound pre-recorded messages and carry on one-way communication. Additionally, drones will soon be fitted with self-inflating life preservers to stop potential drowning accidents.Sarfde is one of eight trained drone pilots at Haverhill Police. He discussed the how the department plans to keep drone operators safe.“We'll have continuing practice, continuing training, quarterly trainings with all the drone operators. Making sure that their skills are up to date, making sure that they know what they're doing from day to day, Sarfde said. “It's a perishable skill so if you're not using it day to day to day, it can become a little more challenging,” he added.Sarfde explained Haverhill Police have been in communication with Amesbury and Merrimac Police for direction on how to best use the drones as they also have similar technology.The police department also communicates with Lawrence Municipal Airport when the drones are in use to ensure no interference in flights.Support the show

When a disaster is prevented, it doesn't make the news and most don't hear about it; and that's exactly the problem. In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast with Dr. Barry Davis, biostatistician and author of The Preventioneers, we explore why prevention's biggest successes stay invisible. We discuss why climate warnings have gone unheeded for 170 years, why treatment beats prevention for the "popular vote," and how to rebuild trust with a public that distrusts experts. The answer isn't more data, but humility, storytelling, and trusted messengers.References for Our Discussion◼️[NEW BOOK] The Preventioneers: Diseases, Disasters, and the Discoveries That Changed Our World◼️An Ounce of Prevention: A Substack by Barry R.

My guest today is Kris Johns, founder and CEO of AdGood, and somebody whose career sits right at the intersection of innovation, media, and impact. Kris has spent more than 15 years helping shape the streaming and ad tech world, building platforms and businesses that transformed how audiences discover content and how companies create growth. He helped scale AdPool into one of the world's largest CTV marketplaces, played a major role at World before its acquisition by AppLovin, and was part of the growth story at Maker Studios before Disney came calling. But what really grabbed my attention was what Kris decided to do next. After helping build businesses and scale technology, he looked at something most people barely noticed: unused advertising inventory and saw something entirely different. He saw potential, he saw opportunity, and he saw a way to turn empty ad space into something that could actually help change lives. Today, through AdGood, Kris is helping nonprofits across the power of connected TV and giving organizations that normally wouldn't have a seat at the table a much bigger voice.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with retired police chief Brad Flynn to discuss a life-changing initiative that's helping first responders better serve individuals with sensory issues. Inspired by his son's autism diagnosis, Brad made it his mission to equip law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS with the tools to recognize and respond appropriately to people experiencing sensory overload. What began as a personal concern has grown into a nationwide effort—saving lives and transforming how emergency situations are handled. Brad shares powerful stories from the field, including moments where this training prevented tragedy, and explains how small changes—like reducing lights and noise—can make all the difference. This episode is a moving reminder that understanding, empathy, and the right training can turn potentially dangerous encounters into life-saving ones—and how one father's journey is changing the future for families everywhere.

In the nearly half of Texas counties considered maternity care deserts, few health care workers are trained to handle a pregnancy emergency like maternal cardiac arrest. A simulation-based training program from an expert at UT San Antonio's Kate Marmion School of Public Health aims to change that, and reduce preventable deaths in the process.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), formal driver education can reduce an individual's likelihood of being involved in a crash by as much as 40%. However, research also suggests that when formal driver education allows teens to obtain their licenses earlier through Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) "time discounts," the overall number of crashes may not decline because more young drivers begin driving sooner. These findings underscore the importance of ensuring that driver education focuses not only on licensing but on developing lifelong safe driving habits. On this episode of Let's Have This Conversation, I sit down with Brad Coleman, CEO and Owner of SafeWay Driving, one of Texas' largest and most respected driver education companies. Before leading SafeWay Driving, Brad spent years competing as a professional race car driver, where he learned that while driving skill is essential, safety is what truly saves lives. Today, that lesson guides his mission: preventing the phone call that no family ever wants to receive. Brad shares how SafeWay Driving has spent more than 40 years helping over 200,000 teens, adults, seniors, and corporate drivers become safer behind the wheel through its proprietary SafeWay Driving System. We also explore how the company is transforming an industry traditionally dominated by small, independent driving schools by embracing technology, modern customer experiences, and a scalable franchise model that empowers entrepreneurs to make a meaningful impact in their communities. Throughout our conversation, we discuss why quality driver education matters, how innovation is reshaping the industry, the responsibilities that come with earning a driver's license, and what families can do to help create a new generation of confident, responsible drivers. Whether you're a parent preparing your teen to drive, an educator, a road safety advocate, or an entrepreneur interested in a purpose-driven business, this episode offers valuable insights into how education, technology, and leadership can work together to make our roads safer for everyone.   For more information: https://www.safewaydriving.com/ LinkedIn: @BradColeman Learn more about your ad choices.

Flooding kills more Americans each year than many storms that get far more headlines. Over 100 lives are lost annually, and most of those deaths follow the same predictable pattern. The water doesn't surprise us. Our decisions do. Today, we're talking about why. Flooding remains one of the deadliest weather hazards in the United States. Yet most flood deaths and some flood damages are preventable, if we take the right steps. Mentioned In This Episode:ReadyFam Preparedness AppSupport Practical Prepping72 Hour Prepping ChecklistDownload this episode If you find value in what we do, if you've learned something new, gotten an idea for something you need to do, been entertained, or just like Krista's Southern charm, would you be willing to give back a little?You can do that one of several ways.     Go to our support page               OR     By starting your Amazon shopping from our website? --->  CLICK HERE        (We earn from qualifying Amazon purchases)Contact us:Practical PreppingWebsiteOur Sponsors:Practical Prepping BooksProof Minimalist Wallets (Discount code PREPPER)ProLine Digital Group   Website  Email1791gunleather.com (Discount code: PREP15) SurfsharkPodcast music written and recorded by Krista LawleyWebsite design and hosting by ProLine Digital Group.Podcasts Copyright 2026, P3 Media Group, LLC, and Practical Prepping Podcast

In the U.K., the government developed a group tasked with “dreaming up psychological tricks to alter our behaviour” without the people being aware of it. The Behavioural Insights Team, known unofficially as the “Nudge Unit”, set the narrative for the COVID-19 fiasco. They were the team behind the infamous slogan, “Stay Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives”, which was astroturfed into existence at the behest of 10 Downing. Thirty years earlier, Hollywood also “nudged” a generation of people to consume endlessly, seek disposable relationships, and build nothing during their time on Earth. The apathy of the Seinfeld characters towards premarital commitments prepped a generation to become a very comfortable, lonely, and sterile civilization. Social engineers seeking to lower population rates have continued to use television as a tool to adjust cultural norms and change behaviors without anyone noticing.---Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink Tree Video ChannelsRumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist PostNewsletter Sign UpAudiobooksHypocrazyThe Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramThe Dollar VigilanteNesa's Hemp | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms

What happens when yacht crew need help, but no one nearby can act fast enough?In this episode of UNCENSORED, host Marién Sarriera speaks with Devlin Cathey, founder of All Safe Yachting, about a crew safety system built to give yacht crew an immediate way to raise the alarm, capture evidence, and access support wherever they are in the world.All Safe Yachting began with the idea of a global panic button for crew, created in the wake of real tragedy and designed as a prevention tool as much as an emergency response system. Devlin explains how the platform works, including app-based panic alerts, wearable Bluetooth buttons, man-down detection, confidential reporting, wellbeing support, hours of rest tracking, and management dashboards.This conversation looks at the realities crew face on board and ashore: isolation, fear of reporting, lack of evidence, altered hours of rest, mental health pressure, and the need for systems that protect crew before a situation becomes critical.For crew, captains, owners, managers, and families, this is a practical conversation about safety, prevention, accountability, and giving people at sea another layer of protection when it matters most.Guest: Devlin CatheyCompany: All Safe Yachting━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SUPPORTED BYMoore Dixon━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Moore Dixon provides global insurance support designed for yacht crew, including medical cover for emergencies, routine care, and practical protection when the unexpected happens.mdbl.imFacebook: @MDBLimitedLinkedIn: @moore-dixon-brokers

Food allergies aren't just a dietary preference. For millions of people, they are a daily negotiation with risk, anxiety, and belonging. This week is Food Allergy Awareness Week, and for Day 3 of Eating at a Meeting LIVE, I'm sitting down with someone who has been in the trenches of this conversation for years — Lindiwe Lewis, allergy advocate and host of the Behind the Allergy podcast. Lindi has lived with severe, anaphylactic food allergies for over 30 years. She's had reactions to entire food groups. She's navigated dining rooms where staff didn't wash their hands and restaurants where she felt like an inconvenience for asking a question. She's also experienced the flip side — places like Hawksmoor in London, where staff handled her allergies with confidence, care, and genuine kindness. The difference? It's everything. Through Behind the Allergy, Lindi doesn't just talk about what she can't eat. She talks about the anxiety, the isolation, the relationships, the travel, the identity of living with a condition that can turn a meal into a medical emergency. Her platform is a lifeline for the food allergy community — and a wake-up call for the hospitality industry. For those of us who plan, design, and serve food at meetings and events, this conversation is not optional. It's essential. If you've ever wondered what your guests with severe allergies are actually thinking when they sit down at your event table — this episode will tell you. Join us LIVE, bring your questions, and let's talk about what it really means to make every guest feel seen, safe, and included.

The parents of a young man who died in a drugs related incident are backing a law change that they believe could have saved their son Jacob's life. The Drug Overdose (Assistance Protection) Legislation Bill is currently being considered by the Health Committee, with submissions closing on Tuesday 16 June. If passed into law, this bill would legally protect those who call 111 for help. That protection would apply to the caller, the person needing help and anyone who stays at the scene to help. According to the Drug Foundation, similar laws overseas have reduced opioid overdose deaths by 10-15%. In Aotearoa that could mean 19-28 lives saved every year. Jacob's mum Shelley O'Dwyer joins Jesse alongside Drug Foundation Executive Director Sarah Helm.

Michael traces an unexpected through line from his very first talk radio show in 1993 — centered on a papal encyclical — to Pope Leo XIV's new warning about artificial intelligence and modern warfare. The Pope argues AI could make war easier to wage and harder to control, while supporters say AI-driven targeting may actually reduce civilian casualties and battlefield mistakes. Michael explores the ethical tension between technological precision and moral responsibility, including the growing role of autonomous systems, Palantir, and algorithmic warfare. Is AI removing dangerous human emotion from combat — or making conflict dangerously impersonal? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this solo episode, Dr. Jenn Simmons delivers a five-alarm wake-up call on breast cancer screening. The American College of Physicians just dropped new guidelines and the radiology world is furious, not because the science is wrong, but because it isn't on their side. Dr. Jenn breaks down what the data actually shows, why mammography's survival benefit has been a statistical illusion for decades, and what real preventive screening looks like.She also takes on DCIS, collagen fears, and the question every woman with a breast cancer history is afraid to ask about hormones. Every woman deserves this information before she makes a decision, not after.What You'll LearnWhy DCIS is not breast cancer and what the data says about over treating itWhat the new ACP mammography screening guidelines say and why the radiology world responded with opinion instead of evidenceHow lead time bias and over diagnosis have made mammography look like a lifesaver when it isn'tWhat the Wisdom Trial revealed about personalized breast cancer screening and why the results make annual mammogram guidelines indefensibleWhat preventive breast cancer screening actually looks like without radiation, compression, or harmWhy collagen supplementation has no association with breast cancer risk or recurrenceWhy bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is not off the table after a breast cancer diagnosis.Why you need to tread the root cause and treat the tumorTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with Dr. Jenn visit: https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/clarity-callTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

Why does public health so often get neglected until a crisis makes its value impossible to ignore? In this episode, Dr. Tom Frieden, President and CEO of Resolve to Save Lives, former CDC Director, and former New York City Health Commissioner, reflects on a career spent trying to close the gap between what we know saves lives and what we actually do. He shares how his father's example shaped his commitment to evidence-based medicine and public service, and he explains the framework behind his new book, The Formula for Better Health, see, believe, create. The conversation explores major public health wins, such as reducing smoking in New York City, the challenges of leading the CDC, the damage to public health infrastructure today, and why prevention, primary care, and global health remain essential to a safer, healthier future. Tune in to hear why better public health depends not only on science, but also on courage, communication, and the will to act. Resources: Connect with Dr. Tom Frieden on LinkedIn.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this episode, Peter takes a deep dive into prostate cancer screening, explaining why advanced and metastatic diagnoses continue to rise despite the availability of screening tools, and what can be done to reverse this trend. He breaks down what PSA actually measures and why it is far more informative when tracked over time rather than interpreted as a single value, and he explores how tools like MRI, PSA density, PSA velocity, and improved biopsy techniques can both reduce unnecessary procedures and improve the detection of aggressive cancers. Peter also discusses the role of active surveillance in avoiding overtreatment for low-risk cases, examines the flawed evidence that has historically been used to argue against PSA screening, and highlights how medications like finasteride can suppress PSA levels and potentially mask warning signs if not properly accounted for. Ultimately, he makes a compelling case for the importance of regular PSA testing as a key strategy in the effort to eliminate prostate cancer mortality. We discuss: The failure of current prostate cancer screening guidelines, and the rise in advanced disease despite available tools [2:30]; PSA screening fundamentals: benefits, harms, and the guideline shift driven by overdiagnosis concerns [5:30]; The impact of reduced PSA screening: rising rates of late-stage prostate cancer and worsening population-level outcomes [12:00]; How modern screening practices use PSA trends, MRI, and new imaging advances to improve accuracy and reduce unnecessary procedures [15:00]; Advances in prostate biopsy: transperineal approach improves safety and cancer detection [23:00]; Reducing overtreatment: Gleason scoring and active surveillance in modern prostate cancer care [25:30]; Reevaluating PSA screening guidelines: how flaws in the PLCO trial undermine the evidence used to argue against PSA screening [29:45]; Prostate cancer screening today: improved tools, flawed guidelines, and preventable mortality [33:45]; How finasteride and similar drugs suppress PSA levels and can lead to missed or delayed prostate cancer diagnoses if not properly accounted for [38:00]; The optimistic future of prostate cancer: modern screening advances and the potential to reduce mortality [43:15]; and More.
