As our world returns to normalcy, we must also caution against a return to complacency. After all, as the tragedies in Atlanta, Georgia and Boulder, Colorado remind us, our world can be a dangerous world.

On this weeks’s podcast I had the pleasure of speaking with Amanda Kippert, Editorial Director of Domestic Shelters-- which hosts the only comprehensive online directory of domestic violence shelters throughout the United States and Canada.

Amanda wears many hats: Advocate; Editor; Journalist; Podcast Host, but all of them are in support one mission -- which is to help those impacted by Domestic Violence to free themselves from the confines of harm, and to then survive and thrive in their lives from that day forward.

Regardless if you are impacted by this concern yourself, a survivor of past abuse, or know someone who is currently at-risk, this conversation is one which may very well help to save a life.

Two months ago, no one would have ever imagined someone making an investment on a stock based purely on emotion. But then someone did --they got their friends to join them -- and from that day forward, "getting GameStopped" will forever reverberate through every business class taught and every economics lecturer told. Learn what this means for your safety.

Stefanie Drysdale is the Vice President of Cyber for Prescient -- a global risk management firm specializing in intelligence, due diligence, investigations, and cyber security. 

Stefanie and I discussed a number of topics impacting todays security environment, but we kept circling back to one key theme: the importance of protective intelligence.

We had a very dynamic discussion, touching on many facets of industry interest. Stefanie is a wealth of knowledge and insight, and I think you will find some very valuable take-aways from our conversation.

After a safe and peaceful transfer of power, is America finally ready to turn the page to a new chapter and be willing to participate in our own protection? Or will we revert back to the old ways of doing things and condemn ourselves to repeat past mistakes? At the end of the day, everyday safety really does require the participation of everyone -- but a healthy sense of skepticism, and a moderate dose of vigilance are but a small price to pay for the liberties, and the freedoms, which flow so freely from peace.

For the first time America’s history, the peaceful transition of power from one president to the next is not a guarantee. At best, it’s a hopeful expectation. At worst, it may be the point of no return for our country as we know her.

Michele Locke is a former Associate Court Judge who has returned to private practice as a partner at Coldwell Bowes in Austin, Texas where she continues to  pursue her passion for family law. During her time on the bench, Michele ran the Domestic Violence Court which focused on Protective Order Applications, contentious divorce, child custody, restraining order enforcement and other family law matters that arose out of those Protective Orders.

Michelle and I had a very enthusiastic discussion relating to the threat management concerns arising from domestic and intimate partner violence as well as stalking concerns. She provides a treasure trove of insight from her experience sitting on the bench overseeing the issuance of protective orders in keeping survivors of violence safe and also offered some rather candid advice on best practices both women and men can take to help reduce risk and prevent violence.

Despite what the news and social media would have you believe, we have never lived in a safer time than we are right now. But because we have for so long lived in an ever-safer world, we have grown more and more reticent about participating in our own protection...choosing instead to place our personal safety and our responsibilities of guarding it, into the hands of people trained only to respond to crises, not actively prevent them. Our blind faith in institutions to protect us has only dulled our natural survival instincts. 

THE TRUTH IS THAT WHEN WE FEEL SAFEST IS ACTUALLY WHEN WE ARE IN THE MOST DANGER.THIS IS THE PARADOX OF THE SAFETY TRAP.
