Storytelling in Safety

Deric Ostrum returns for a new interview regarding his opinion on movies and just basically a whole new way to approach communications with others. 

In this episode, we will focus on the transition of separating from the military into the safety profession. We will key in on tools, fears, and characteristics of a Marine that could help a safety professional, both beginning and mid-career professionals.  Our guest is Harold "Gunny" Franco.

This episode is to let you know that Storytelling in Safety is back!  This season will focus on Veterans, Mental Well Being (Wellness) and Psychological Safety.  

In the season finale, we bring in Retired Cheif Master Sergeant Joshua Franklin, Retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant Shawn Lewis, and Naval Officer Lieutenant Briana Eaton who is separating from service to discuss stories during active duty, things to be prepared for in the civilian world, and common challenges active members face when transitioning to becoming a veteran.

Special Note:  We thank all of our service members and veterans out there.  Please share with members of the military, regardless if they're looking for a career in safety.  This could help them tremendously.

High energy Safety Man Gabe Encarnacion joins the podcast to talk about everything related to energy, soft skills, and some Star Wars analogies!  (I knew he would fit in really well). We take a swing at #AsianHate and how to overcome some of those challenges.

Listeners beware! In this episode, Tim invites his brother Ryan Bottorff as they experiment in a role reversal.  Ryan will interview Tim and ask questions related to his service in the United States Marine Corps and how that affected Tim's life and career as a Safety Professional.  

Kathy Dobson shares stories of how she went from nursing to being a Safety Manager in construction.  She also tells about, "If it doesn't feel right, it probably ain't right!"

"If you are in a valley where it might be dark or lonely, think of gratitude to get you on the mountain top."  TedX Speaker Mike Shaw brings a passionate story to the masses about how tragedy can be trumped by gratitude.  #gratitudesaves #resiliencesaves
