Podcasts about staying safe

Now, he's translating those hard-earned lessons into practical guidance for everyday life through his new book series, Look Twice, beginning with Your Guide to Staying Safe in an Unsafe World. His message is simple but powerful: safety isn't about fear — it's about preparation.In this conversation, we'll go beyond the headlines and beyond the book to talk about real-world situational awareness, travel security, everyday OPSEC, transportation risks and the mindset shift intelligence professionals use to stay one step ahead.

Meet London's “Batman”: Diego Galino on Exposing Pickpockets, Street Safety & Going Viral Support Diego here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-street-filming-against-london-pickpockets Diego Galdino, a.k.a Pickpocket London, explains how he went from a delivery rider to confronting and filming pickpockets to raise public awareness and help victims.  After seeing tourists targeted near Buckingham Palace, he launched TikTok and Instagram accounts on 15 July and quickly built a large following by posting daily footage and sharing evidence with police informally.  He describes worsening street crime after the pandemic, an informal network of riders and shop staff who alert him, and dangerous encounters where he was punched, chased with a stick, and hit with a phone.  Diego discusses using washable head-ink spray to mark suspects, funding the work through GoFundMe, media appearances, and social monetisation, and why he prefers independence over joining the police.

SHOW NOTES: In this episode of Encouragementology, we explore the psychology of visibility and what drives some of us to step forward while others instinctively stay in the background. This is not about deciding which personality is better. It is about understanding your wiring, questioning your defaults, and learning how to stretch your range so your contribution aligns with who you are becoming. Here is what we unpack together: Why stepping forward and staying quiet are both strengths The difference between boldness driven by purpose and boldness driven by approval How quiet contribution can reflect wisdom, not weakness Whether you are choosing your role in a room or defaulting to it Signs you may be over-speaking or unintentionally holding back How to stretch your natural wiring without changing your personality The power of leaning in when you usually lean back The importance of leaning back when you usually rush forward Why visibility is not the goal, but meaningful contribution is How intentional flexibility creates growth and confidence CHALLENGE: This week, stretch your natural wiring by one intentional step. If you usually stay in the background, raise your hand once and let your voice be heard. If you usually step forward, pause once and create space for someone else to shine. Notice how it feels, not to judge it, but to learn from it. Small stretches build confidence, compassion, and clarity. I Know YOU Can Do It!

Blepharoplasties are cosmetic eyelid lifts.  This procedure usually removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids and is a great facial rejuvenator.  Many people think the surgery is a minor procedure because the satisfaction rate is very high and the complication rate is fairly low.  But the truth is that all sorts of issues can occur with eyelid surgery - from visible scars to a pull-down of the lids to the dreaded complication of blindness.  Before surgery, I send my patients to an ophthalmologist to determine that their eyes are healthy enough to have surgery.  On this show, I bring in expert ophthalmologist Dr. Larry Najarian, who discusses how he helps patients get ready for their eyelid surgery.  Understanding Hypophosphatemia: Recognition, Diagnosis, and TreatmentEndocrine experts distinguish Hypophosphatemia from osteoporosis & osteomalaciaListen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

Howard is a former top 50 seller on all of Amazon. And his origin story as a seller is an epic itself. Between selling thousands of units of hoverboards daily and battling with Amazon Incorporated on Amazon, Apple actually on Amazon. The story of his humble beginnings is a story too long to tell. He began his journey as an educator by single handedly spearheading the training of Chinese sellers on Amazon. The insights that Howard provided and the tools he developed led to what many in the United States consider the Chinese takeover of Amazon. He has saved, started, scaled and sold hundreds of businesses via Amazon and other virtual platforms. And he's done it time and time again. So welcome to the podcast, Howard. Howard, I think this is a good time to kind of talk about your mastermind. You do something with the elite seller society and you have a mastermind big, you know, kind of event that you do once a year, I believe.Josh 00:01:05  this is something that I've been very interested and I keep asking you about. I think every time I talk to you, I'm like, hey, do you have the dates? And do you know where you're going yet? So tell us more about that. And what is it all about? What content are you sharing?Howard 00:01:19  So the elite level of society is like, a mastermind that I have created. it's everyone that's been in our event, our mastermind events that gets, gets added into and, we kind of go in and help each other within our group, like how to solve problems, as well as, there's like, something that we can offer our group through, like, other mentorships or through, like, special, like things. I'm working on getting our, all our membership members. Members, that own, their own, account rep So that they don't have to go through the SAS program or SAS program. That really sucks. So they're getting like really good quality. employees and Amazon being able to support them.Howard 00:02:13  So I'm talking to Amazon on that on how we can actually make that work for our employees. So that's just something cool that I'm working with or things that things that are always open when you're in the mastermind. I like like you said, my shift change. Like you never you're in a box all the time. For most of the people that aren't in, in these mastermind I'm talking about, like, if you're even in these podcasts or in Facebook groups, you'll never get the same kind of, like information that you really could get on those different platforms than if it was in Bessemer. You probably know that, Josh. so, like, I'm just sitting there and learning and like, oh, there is this thing that out there to doing this stuff, you know, I'm not ready yet for it, but I know it's out there exists, so I need to do it. Like, for example, like, digital marketing, you know, I need to do some marketing, but I went to, I went to, custom conversion.Howard 00:03:16  I went to, a lot of, Carrie's events, like the weird events, you know, three and and even I'm thinking about getting into those two masterminds, right? One from all inside one site and also from Perry site, you know, so I'm trying to I'm looking into that. They're not cheap. They're like maybe 25,000 a year. but, yes, it's from the world, right?Josh 00:03:39  So yeah, I know that. That's great. And I agree with your statement there, Howard, in terms of, you know, the deeper tactics, if you want to go deep with stuff, you need to start reaching out and joining some of those mastermind groups. So I think it's going to take your learning to the next level. Now, Howard, you've educated a lot of Chinese sellers, right? And I think there's a negative stigma in the marketplace where it's like, oh, the Chinese sellers, they just want to implement black hat tactics, and that's who's always attacking me. you know, prior to this conversation, you and I discussed and you're like, you, you see kind of the black hat, black hat tactics kind of, you know, lessening to some extent or or another.Josh 00:04:22  But from your experience, you are so well versed on Amazon. I know a lot of sellers are fearful when it comes to black hat tactics, but would you mind kind of educating our audience in regards to what are the active black hat tactics that you see being implemented right now, and what are ways that sellers can do to protect themselves in advance, as well as what do you do if you do have a black hat tactic that actually affects you and attacks your listing?Howard 00:04:52  People think that, you know, like this stigma like, hey, you know, black hat and you do black hat, right? But the reality is, if a person has been in this industry for so long, they would need to know how to protect themselves. What kind of backpack techniques? Like what you're asking. Right. so, like, a computer security guy, right? Who does? Computer security? Needs to know how people are coming in and attacking the system. So if you're like a programmer an...

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 1/25/26 by Pastor Steve Shields. Listen as Pastor Steve goes through Philippians 3:7-14. Snowdrifts that can get you stuck. A contempt for the familiar. A sense that God Himself is not enough. An avoidance of Biblical teachings that are difficult. An arrogance that closes your mind to teaching and closes your heart. How does it feel to be stuck in one of these “snowdrifts”? You may be bored. Always wanting something else. A sense that I can fix this myself. A stagnancy in your spiritual life. Help from the tow truck. Find things to appreciate in your walk with God. Repent of even wondering if God himself is enough. Let God’s Word be your sole authority. Humble yourself.

That split second is where most firework injuries begin—not in the explosion, but in the rush, the stumble, and the moments when excitement outruns preparation.

Summer is fun however it's good to remember how to stay safe when it comes to things like sun, food, insects, and alcohol. Here's what to watch out for and how to stay safe over the holidays. The number one thing to think about the sun – it makes us feel good but can cause harm! Sunburn sets us up for skin cancer. Be especially careful with children! Use SPF 30+ sunscreen, reapply every 2–3 hours and after swimming. Wear hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing. Remember: UV is highest between 10am and 4pm. Stay hydrated. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke can develop quickly, especially in the elderly and small children. Keep food safe especially in the heat We increase the risk of food poisoning over summer due to the heat, which encourages bacteria. Keep food cold and covered – use chilly bins/ice packs. Follow the 2-hour rule – avoid leaving food out in heat for more than 2 hours Wash hands and utensils to prevent spread of germs. Cook meats thoroughly, especially poultry and BBQ foods. Avoid cutting up meat/chicken on the same board as salad vegetables. Watch for signs of food poisoning: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever – see your doctor. Watch out for insects, especially mosquitoes and sandflies Avoid getting bitten – can be itchy and painful. Use insect repellent in areas with sandflies or mosquitos and wear long sleeves/pants in bushy areas. Watch out for allergic reactions: red inflamed skin around a bite, can be very itchy. May need to see your pharmacist or doctor for treatment: anti-itch cream, antihistamines. Always drink alcohol in moderation Alcohol increases dehydration. A good tip is to alternate drinks with water. Avoid swimming, boating, or driving under the influence: impaired judgement raises accident risk. Eat before and while drinking – pace yourself. Watch for the heat and alcohol combination leading to faster exhaustion. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Engage, First Officer Ryan Argenta welcomes First Officer Bryan Patchen, Chair of the Delta MEC's Aviation Security Committee and recent Aviation Security Award recipient, for a straight-talk briefing on the security issues pilots face every day. We cover what's actually happening with KCM (and why the “random” feels constant), how to handle screening disagreements professionally (what to say, who to ask for, and what to document), and the practical risks on international layovers - from aggressive pat-downs to theft tactics targeting watches and phones.   Bryan shares actionable steps that keep crews out of trouble: keep flight gear only for flying, get names/badge numbers when reporting, know when to withdraw consent and elevate to a supervisor, and use safety tools like FACTAL and the State Department's STEP enrollment form for proximity alerts and emergency news. We also touch on FFDO training status and secondary barriers progress. The goal isn't fear - it's awareness, professionalism, and smart habits so everyone gets home safe.

The holidays can bring joy – but also remind us of old family patterns that still hurt. In this episode, Dustin and Haley talk about what family dysfunction means … and what it doesn't mean. Through stories of biblical families marked by dysfunction, we see how God still works through imperfect people and messy relationships.
