How does Sam Darnold perform in the clutch? That's what we're taking a look at in our film review of new Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold. We take a look at several key plays from Darnold's time with the Vikings, focusing on his performance under pressure and in clutch moments. In our look at these pivotal moments, we analyze Darnold's ability to maneuver the pocket, make accurate throws, and lead fourth-quarter comebacks. There's also a low moment to balance things out. With a mix of excitement and cautious optimism, this is a quick look at what Darnold can bring to Seattle in the upcoming season.  Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

Nathan Santo from the Seahawks Nest Podcast returns to the show for a lively discussion about the Seattle Seahawks and their quarterback situation. With Sam Darnold now in the mix, Nathan shares his long-standing belief in Darnold's potential and how his time with the 49ers may have prepared him for success in Seattle. Does Sam have the offensive line and the weapons in Seattle to succeed? We touch on the Seahawks' pass catchers including the impact of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and the potential of new additions like Tory Horton and Marquez Valdez-Scantling. We also discuss Jalen Milroe as Nathan believes that coach Mike Macdonald my be using some misdirection when it comes to using Jalen Milroe in a Taysom Hill role.

As the Seattle Seahawks wrap up their first week of OTAs, it's notable how excited Seahawks fans are about the 2025 team. In this week's show, we pull some of our favorite quotes from press conferences from Abe Lucas, offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, Sam Darnold and Ernest Jones. It was one quote in particular from Abe Lucas that has Adam really excited for the upcoming season and why our show has now anointed him as the Seahawks offensive ambassador.  The message of the Seahawks using a fullback came through loud and clear via Abe as well as Sam Darnold. Klint Kubiak has taken note of Jalen Milroe's worth ethic and the early hours he's coming into the facility to work. On the defensive side, coordinator Aden Durde talked about what it has meant for the team to have everyone on board for the voluntary portion of OTAs. But how important is it really? We're somewhat conflicted on the importance. We do note the importance of having a pair of linebackers who are in sync with each other. Ernest Jones talked about just how important Tyrice Knight has been in his own development, and how they've been improving their relationship in the offseason. In the second half of the show, Sam Darnold reveals how good (or bad) of a golfer he is. It's the first time in the history of the show that we'll have a starting quarterback who seems to golf regularly. Lumen Field is getting nearly 20 million in upgrades next offseason for the World Cup, but it sounds like only one of the improvements will actually benefit a small portion of Seahawks fans. The audio equipment company Rode is highlighted in the Do Better segment along with organization highlighting mock draft content for 2026. Better at life honors go out to the Steelers organization (for maybe the only time) and to our Seahawks for highlighting its 50th Season game for the upcoming year.

As the Seattle Seahawks grind through OTAs, we're getting into the seven signs that could indicate being legitimate contenders in 2025. From the potential of rookie guard Grey Zabel to the impact of Sam Darnold (or Jalen Milroe) at quarterback. Just how important is a cohesive run game? How about the necessity of a suffocating defense or the significance of a strong offensive line? We also get into your questions, including how the team can reclaim home field advantage and the need for a creative offensive scheme. With exciting insights and spirited debate, we are packing high levels of optimism for the upcoming season. Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

Join us on the Sea Hawkers Podcast with special guest and NFL analyst, Coach DC of All-22 Films! We dive into the Seattle Seahawks' 2025 season, exploring how Jalen Milroe's unique skills can shape the offense, whether Sam Darnold can repeat his stellar 2024 performance, and how Ken Walker will thrive in Klint Kubiak's run-centric, wide zone scheme. The conversation also touches on the impact of the new offensive schemes, the importance of under-center play, and how the Seahawks running game could evolve with Ken Walker III and Zach Charbonnet. The trio also discusses the defensive prospects, including the promising talents of Devon Witherspoon and Boye Mafe, and what fans can expect from the upcoming season.

For our first look into the film of Jalen Milroe, the Seattle Seahawks intriguing third-round quarterback pick, we're focusing on several plays from the Alabama game against South Carolina. We take a look at Milroe's impressive plays from the game, including his running ability and arm talent, while also addressing one of his biggest mistakes. These moments showcase Milroe's strengths and areas for improvement, and puts on display how he could fit into the Seahawks future. Watch on YouTube Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

Seahawks OTAs kick off this week, so as the team gets together there are some key storylines and nuggets that we're going to be on the lookout for. The rookie form of Grey Zabel is high on that list along with the focus on quarterback and what we're hearing about Sam Darnold, versus Drew Lock versus Jalen Milroe. Could Lock's experience with this team give him an edge over the other two quarterbacks in the way they interact as a team? Defensively, we talk about some of the key things we want to hear about along the defensive line, despite their inability to put on pad and bang around like we see in the preseason. List season creep has begun. Usually it waits until after OTAs and the mandatory minicamp, but we have a couple lists where Sam Darnold makes an appearance. We talk about where he ranks out on the PFF list of 32 NFL starting quarterbacks and the top 10 most risky free agent signings. We also talk about why two former Seahawks are above Darnold on both lists and how it may lead the way for how the media views this Seahawks roster until the start of the season. In the second half of the show, we discuss a few of the rules changes. The NFL has expanded the number of plays that can be reviewed, but only if a flag is thrown. Touchbacks are now coming out to the 35-yard line. If teams and kickers don't start putting the ball in the landing zone, should the NFL penalize teams the same as when they kick it out of bounds? In the Do Better segment, we get into one other list that calls out one move the Seahawks should make and Amazon is password protecting the ability for people to change the time on their devices. Closing the show with Better at Life, we talk about the scientists behind the James Webb telescope and a former Seahawks player who is now an author on the subject of gardening.

With a vote of 22-10, NFL owners fell 2 votes short of the mandatory 24 votes to "Ban the Tush Push." Some are surprised that Seattle ownership voted to ban it. Everyone has an opinion, no one seems to remember NFL history, and we'll be talking about the league's most infamous play. Should it or shouldn't it be banned? Plus, we get into the other NFL rules that were changed or upheld this week. And finally, are there any rules or changes to the game that should be on the NFL's radar? We get into it on this week's show. Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

Live from Triad's Scale Summit in Atlanta, I got the opportunity to sit down with two Triad members who are driving SHP Financial's incredible growth—founding partner Keith Ellis Jr. and Chief Operating Officer Michelle Short.In this behind-the-scenes conversation, we unpack how SHP went from a 4-person startup to a 55-person firm who gathered $380M of total assets in 2024, growing to $1.6B of AUM. You'll hear how they scaled without burning out, built career tracks that turned interns into $80M producers, and created a culture-backed onboarding system that scales consistency, deepens trust, and reinforces what makes SHP different. 3 of the biggest insights from Keith and Michelle… #1.) How SHP Gathered $380M of Total Assets in 2024SHP didn't grow by grinding, they grew by stepping back. Instead of meeting with every client, SHP's founders focused on high-net-worth clients while their team of specialists handled planning, follow-up, and client management. The result? $380M of total assets without burnout or bottlenecks. #2.) The Onboarding System That Scales Consistency, Trust, and ReferralsEvery SHP hire starts with a Vision Session, a 1:1 with a partner, and a deep dive into the firm's culture handbook. From “Shipmates” to Enneagram walls, everything is built to align the team and protect the client experience. That's how SHP builds internal trust—and earns referrals without ever asking. #3.) SHP's 3-Tier Client Model That Protects Founder TimeBy segmenting clients into three tiers, SHP ensures their founders only meet with $2.5M+ prospects—while newer advisors gain reps with clients under $1M. The result? More capacity, clearer career paths, and 4x the asset growth with half the meetings.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/116FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

The excitement of the Seattle Seahawks' 2025 schedule release is nearly here! We know the opponents, but we don't know when we play them. We talk about the dynamics that would go into the perfect 2025 Seahawks schedule based on when we'd like to face certain teams and weather considerations early and late in the year. Which away game would we most like to head to, and which city does Clinton want to avoid so he doesn't get mugged? We talk about potential matchups against the Vikings, Saints, and division rivals like the 49ers and Rams. Also, are the Seahawks about to start dropping season ticket holders that sell a majority of their tickets and will it be an effective strategy to maintain a home field advantage?

We're exploring the intriguing world of fourth down strategies in the NFL, particularly as they relate to the Seattle Seahawks. With the draft behind us, we discuss how the team's recent draft picks, including Jalen Milroe and Damien Martinez, could impact the team's approach to critical fourth down situations. With data metrics and trends from around the league, we talk about the evolving mindset of NFL coaches regarding fourth downs and how it correlates with team success. Can the team make a push toward greater fourth down success or should we just hope that our team can score in the first three downs? Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

In the aftermath of the 2025 NFL Draft, we're getting into the excitement surrounding the Seattle Seahawks rookie minicamp and some of the latest comments from our new players. We dial in on the implications and critiques of the 2025 draft class, highlighting standout picks like Jalen Milroe and Gray Zabel, while also managing expectations. Why did the Seahawks go away from the defense or focus on more depth along the offensive line earlier in the draft? What went into the selection of a fullback in round 5? Each of the players had a chance to take questions from reporters on the podium at minicamp. We feature some of the top quotes from their interviews. Mike Macdonald talked about the energy that Milroe brought to the field. Nick Emmanwori sounds like he's going to fit right in with the veteran defensive backs. Finally, is a battle between the Midwest and the South part of the plan? In the second half of the show, we discuss draft grades and some of the concerns and criticisms about the class. In Do Better we talk about the concept of a 'National Park City' and the importance of the correct use of a subheading. Better at life nominees go to a company that went beyond something we thought we'd have from Back to the Future by now. We close by thanking a long-time listener and friend of the show.

The Seattle Seahawks have brought back Drew Lock ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. It raises questions about the future of Sam Howell, and if there is any potential for trade compensation with a crowded quarterback room. General Manager John Schneider and Coach Mike Macdonald spoke at the pre-draft press conference on Monday and confirmed trade talks surrounding Howell. We talk about some of the parallels with the 2012 offseason and how Seattle could still consider a QB in the draft based on that history. Plus, is it a "lazy narrative" that the Seahawks need to address the offensive line? We have two final interviews to share from the 2025 Shrine Bowl. Kyonte Hamilton of Rutgers was a late invite to the game and is being touted as a late-round value pick. The big man on the interior sounds like he'd be a locker room fit for any team. He talks about how his wrestling experience plays into his game on the defensive line. Marcus Wehr of Montana State held his own against the top talent the Shrine Bowl had to offer. He talks about how he once got annoyed by the Idaho football team's inability to shower. We close the show with a discussion about our biggest draft day fear and whether or not we think John Schneider is more likely to trade up or to trade down. The availability of lumber and the hype around the Minecraft movie leading to the downfall of society are targeted in the Do Better Segment. Better at Life honors go to John Cena and WrestleMania for this past weekend and to Aaron Rodgers for toying with the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise these last couple months.

The Seattle Seahawks could look toward three Alabama prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. With three players likely to go in the early rounds, including the intriguing guard Tyler Booker and the highly touted linebacker Jihaad Campbell, we talk about what each player could bring to Seattle. The preference for each player can even shed light how the team could approach the draft: best player available, biggest need, or positional value that has the most potential to future success of the franchise. Roll Bama Roll managing editor Brent Taylor shares his insights on two of the top projected Alabama prospects and his thoughts on quarterback Jalen Milroe. Milroe is one of the most intriguing quarterback prospects in this year's draft coming off a rollercoaster season. What shortcomings would he have to rebound from to be the kind of pro quarterback we saw flashes from in college? Lastly, we get into other Alabama prospects to watch and a couple names who were at the school in previous seasons and transferred out.  Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

Offensive line may represent the biggeest need for the Seahawks, but the tight end spot isn't far behind. It's even considered to be the third most likely position for Seattle to draft in the first round. Position expert Max Toscano from Remember the Tight Ends joins the show to explore the Seahawks potential draft strategies and the tight end prospects that could be game-changers for the team. Max has a particular affinite for a couple of tandout players like Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland, but there are several later on in the draft who could come in and help make an impact.  Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

It's a heated debate surrounding NFL Draft strategy: should the Seahawks prioritize the best player available or draft for team needs? We explore the implications of both approaches and how they can shape the Seahawks future. A passionate argument against the 'BPA cultists' is presented, but there is some room for nuance into how context and team composition should influence draft decisions.

The aerospace supply chain with the co-founder and CEO of a manufacturing startup, the Airbus A350 production outlook, GE Aerospace Catalyst turboprop certification, a Senate bill to boost the ATC workforce, a call for retired controllers to return to the job, and KC-46 tanker cracks. Guest Vishal R. Sanghavi has been a leader in the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry for nearly two decades. He co-founded Jeh Aerospace in 2022 with his long-time colleague Venkatesh Mudragalla. This US-based company manufactures aerospace and defense components. Vishal describes the reasons for the current aerospace supply chain problems and the demand/supply gap. He notes structural issues such as the difficulty obtaining and retaining workers, inflation, and lack of supply chain transparency. Easing these problems can partly be addressed by viewing supply relationships strategically rather than transactionally. Vishal tells us why OEMs don't vertically integrate more than they do, and how quality is assured throughout the supply chain. Vishal is on a mission to build Jeh Aerospace into a technology-driven manufacturing company that will deliver quality parts 10x faster, better, and cheaper. Jeh looks to transform the field with talent and technology creating a digitally native organization that provides data for advanced analytics. Vishal explains factors that influence geographic locations for manufacturing facilities, such as access to talent, cost efficiencies, where the large markets are. Vishal's entrepreneurial journey began at the Indian business conglomerate Tata Group, where he built and led large multimillion-dollar businesses and became one of the youngest Chief Experience Officers for the group. He spearheaded numerous aerospace businesses during his tenure, including the Tata Boeing Joint Venture (JV), Tata Sikorsky JV, and Tata Lockheed JV, which manufactures large and complex aerospace systems. Before that, Vishal honed his skills at TCS, where he consulted Fortune 100 companies on business processes and technology.  Vishal is an electronics and telecommunication engineer educated at RAIT, Mumbai University, and is currently pursuing the Smart Manufacturing Program at MIT. Vishal was selected for the TAS program, Tata Group's premium leadership cadre, and nominated by Boeing for its Organizational Leadership Program at the Boeing Leadership Center (BLC) in St. Louis. He is a certified Gold Assessor of the Tata Business Excellence Model, based on the Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award. Aviation News Supply Chain Challenges Limit A350 Production to Six Aircraft Per Month, A350F Deliveries Delayed to 2027 Airbus had originally intended to produce about nine A350s per month in 2025. Now it looks like six per month is the most that can be expected. Also, the A350F launch is pushed out to 2027. Supply chain disruptions, including those from component supplier Spirit Aerosystems, are cited as the problem. Airbus reports that the A350 family has 1,363 firm orders from 60 customers, with 644 aircraft delivered as of January 2025. Firm orders for the A350F stood at 63. GE Aerospace Catalyst Turboprop Engine Gains FAA Certification The new GE Aerospace Catalyst turboprop engine was announced in 2015 and is planned to power the Beechcraft Denali. The Catalyst Data Sheet [PDF] says the engine family is aimed at the 1200-1400 SHP range; includes integrated digital engine and propeller control; and automatically optimizes fuel flow, prop pitch and speed, bleed valves, and variable stators. As much as 18 percent lower fuel burn and 10 percent higher cruise power compared to competitors in the same size class is claimed. 60-second promotional video: The Catalyst engine for Beechcraft Denali https://youtu.be/1NUVXdeihCE?si=YaAXIIUIFAZUbH86 Transportation Secretary supercharges hiring, Senate bill to bolster workforce Senators proposed the The Air Traffic Control Workforce Development Ac...

GameWells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf Gets Pay Bump To $31.2 Million CEO Charlie Scharf: for being greedy. His pay ratio was already an alarming 325:1 last year.Shareholders: Say on Pay 57% approval in 2021; 73% approval in 2022. Despite policy tweaks which resulted in 92% support in 2023 and 93% in 2024: the song remains the same: the CEO's pay steadily and magically increases annually: $21M, $25M, $26M, and now $31MPay Committee chair Ronald Sargent: why on earth would you ask the former CEO of Staples to control setting the pay of a fellow S&P 500 CEO brother? It's an immediate conflict of interest.Female board power: at -19% this is a board that chooses to underpower female leadership. 5 women control an aggregate 20% influence while the top 5 men control 68%Citi bucks back-to-office trend and embraces hybrid workingThe board: 8 of 14 directors are womenThe CEO: In 2021, Jane Fraser became Citi's CEO and the first woman to lead a major U.S. bank Shareholders: 26% in 2024 supported a SHP requesting a report on the effectiveness of Citi's policies and practices in respecting Indigenous Peoples' rights in Citi's existing and proposed financingChief Human Resources Officer Sara Wechter: Sara serves on the board of Onex Corporation (relatively rare for CHROs and is not afraid in her Citigroup bio to state that “she has championed diversity, equity and inclusion efforts across Citi, leading the firm in exceeding its original 3-year aspirational representation goals set in 2018 for women globally and black talent in the U.S.”McDonald's Shamrock Shake returns — and so does Grimace's uncleThe CEO: Chris Kempczinski's CEO pay ratio of 1,212:1 proves he doesn't care what anybody thinks.The Chair: oh wait, that's also Chris KempczinskiThe Lead independent Director: Miles White, clearly not independent having served on the board since 2009The Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Committee Chair: The Committee that monitors strategies covering food, sourcing, the environment, human rights, community engagement, philanthropy, and DEI is Paul Walsh. A man who sold alcohol (former CEO at Diageo) and is currently the Executive Chair at a company that sells expensive racing cars (McLaren Group).OpenAI files a trademark application for humanoid robots and VR headsets as Sam Altman teases big hardware ambitionsThe CEO: Sam Altman the guy who refused to be fired for his board while subverting the company's mandate and mission.The Chair: Bret Taylor, the guy who comes from Twitter/Facebook/Google and is clearly disinterested in what humanity actually needs.The board: for allowing a CEO who was previously fired partly for lying to the board to sit on the board as a director.The two women who nearly fired Sam Altman: former OpenAI directors Helen Toner and Tasha McCauleyTarget hit with national boycott call over decision to drop DEI initiativesThe CEO: Brian Cornell's CEO pay ratio of 719:1 proves he doesn't care about anybody but himself.The double DEI-hating director: Dmitri Stockton also on the board of Deere The lead independent director: woman of color Monica Lozano, former CEO of The College Futures Foundation, whose “commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is paramount to its vision for advancing a racially, socially, and economically just California where generations of learners can thrive.”The chair of the committee responsible for Human capital management, specifically “DE&I in support of our business”: Compensation & Human Capital Management Committee chair Monica LozanoCoca-Cola and Novartis's CEOs don't care if ‘ESG' has become a toxic phrase among someNovartis CEO Vasant (Vas) Narasimhan: whose ego is so strong and secure he doesn't even need to serve on the board responsible for his oversight.Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey: for having the strength to say it:“If ESG becomes toxic as a phrase, which it basically has in the U.S., it doesn't matter to me. I'm just going to stop saying ‘ESG.' But the idea that for my basic product, I want to be water positive, I want to have a circular economy on my packaging, and I want to grow our business with less sugar—you can call it anything you like, but no one with common sense says those are bad ideas.“My business strategy is constant and clear and centered around the business and the things that consumers care about and that fix societal problems. If people want to attach labels to it, that's their issue. I'm saying this business will be great if I fix these problems, and it will be good for shareholders and be good for society.”Coca-Cola's Lead Independent Director and Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee chair Maria Elena Lagomasino: maybe some of the woke messaging of Disney movies altered her conscience?Female board power at Coke: 49% influenceMATT1Ryder's $2.5M Settlement Brings 4-Year Governance Overhaul: What's Changing for Shareholders - suit alleged Ryder's management team and board artificially inflated the values of certain Ryder assets and made materially misleading statements regarding those values - suit alleged breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. Board has to create a Corporate Risk Steering Committee, company must hire a Chief Compliance Officer, a Management-level “Disclosure Committee”, at least two Audit Committee members must be financial experts, they have to hire a third party to do market research, they have to have a “pricing” team to examine market prices, they have a clawback, and they have a non-retaliation policy.CEO Robert Sanchez - CEO since 2013, the Man in the ChairThe Audit Committee - a FIVE person audit committee, all of whom they disclosed in 2020 were “financial experts”, all but one of whom was a CEO at another company that made them a “financial expert” (the fifth was an accounting professor), one of whom was the lead independent director who had been there since 2002Dmitri Stockton! The director who now has the wonderful distinction of having sat on the Deere board the flipped on DEI, the Target board that flipped on DEI, Stanley Black and Decker who was sued for not disclosing executive perks, and the Ryder board who was sued for sucking at being a board - all while he was there!DEI! Dmitri Stockton is BLACK and Robert Sanchez SOUNDS MEXICAN!US Steel Flags Trump DEI Order as Risk Factor for InvestorsRacist old white guys and tech bros! The order was written, ostensibly, by Stephen Miller, Trump, and Musk, the three horseman of the brownpocolypse, and US Steel is now including Trump's DEI order as a material risk to the companyThe lawyers! The company said in its annual report last year that it aims “to have an engaged and diverse workforce to promote new ideas and innovation, reflect the communities where we operate, and deliver exceptional customer service.” This year, that same sentence omitted a reference to having a “diverse” workforce. That sounds like Duane D. Holloway, chief ethics and compliance officer and general counsel, right?DEI! Duane Holloway… is BLACK! Mr. Holloway serves on the board of directors of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA), the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, the Allegheny County Parks Foundation and Gilman School. He also serves as Executive Sponsor of U. S. Steel's SteelPARENTS Employee Resource Group. That all sounds exceedingly woke and DEIish.The board! US Steel managed to find 8 white males for their 12 person board, 3 white woman, and 1 black woman… so people of color have a whopping 6% influence on the board. It DOES feel risky to talk about them though, right?Walgreens stock plunges. Its dividend payout changes are to blameRoz Brewer! She was a DEI hire after all, right? Can't we pin this on her tenure as fake CEO?Steffano Pessina! The man with 61% of board influence, the man who fired Roz Brewer, the man who we'll find out today won re-election despite cratering the company as executive chair!DEI! Did you see this line in the announcement about the dividend cessation? “In fiscal 2024, WBA scored 100% on the Disability Equality Index for disability inclusion”. SO WOKE.

Bitcoin and digital assets are among the most debated, complex, and controversial asset classes on the market today. Despite being a polarizing topic, nobody can deny their growing importance in global finance and even in Trump's administration in the White House. That's why we're thrilled to have Ryan Lessard, a Digital Asset Strategist from Fidelity, on the podcast today. Ryan shares his expertise in this emerging asset class to unpack Bitcoin's unique characteristics, including its capped supply of 21 million coins, the blockchain technology behind it, and how it compares to traditional assets like gold.  In our conversation, we discussed why Bitcoin has primarily appealed to younger investors and is particularly relevant in countries with economic instability and hyperinflation. We also explored Bitcoin's potential to diversify portfolios while addressing the challenges, the rapid pace of technological advancements, and the importance of staying curious and continually learning about this evolving space.

Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarından itibaren bir tür ıslah etme projeksiyonu üzerinden ilerleyen ve İsmet Paşa'nın da raporunda da somut biçimde gözlemlenen “sorun algısı” süreç içerisinde önemli ölçüde değişiklikler gösterdi. Celal Bayar'ın görece özgürlükçü bir tonda kaleme aldığı rapor ve 1970'lerde TİP aracılığıyla Kürtler üzerine yapılan politik vurgular, anlamlı bir stratejiye dönüşememiştir. 1980'deki darbeyle farklı bir evreye giren ve PKK'nın varlığı ile çok daha karmaşık parametrelere bağlı hale gelen sorunlar, Özal iktidarı ve 80'lerin sonundaki SHP raporu ile tekrar gündem olabilmiştir.

Jon Rosser, Chair of the Single Homeless Project, on the systemic undercounting of women experiencing homelessness. Overview: In this eye-opening episode of the Do One Better Podcast, Alberto Lidji sits down with Jon Rosser, Chair of the Single Homeless Project, to delve into the pressing issue of homelessness in the UK, with a particular focus on the systemic undercounting of women experiencing homelessness. Key Discussion Points: Introduction to SHP: The Single Homeless Project operates in London, supporting homeless individuals or those at risk of homelessness. Founded by a group of homeless people 40 years ago, SHP has grown to support over 10,000 individuals annually with a dedicated staff of 700. Current State of Homelessness in the UK: Despite various interventions, homelessness numbers are rising due to housing shortages, affordability issues, and inadequate social housing. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic showed that it is possible to house everyone if the will and resources are available. Gender Disparity in Homelessness Counts: Traditional counting methods underreport the number of homeless women, who often avoid streets due to vulnerability and safety concerns. A new gender-informed approach reveals a much higher number of homeless women, many of whom resort to dangerous alternatives to sleeping on the streets. Challenges Faced by Homeless Women: Many homeless women face domestic violence, mental health issues, and the need for safe, gender-specific accommodation. There is a significant gap in the support services provided to these women, who often fall through the cracks of traditional systems.

The thought of children sleeping on a hard floor is heartbreaking but not as uncommon as you may think. Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) has a goal of providing newly constructed beds and full bed linens for these children.
