In today's episode, Sam Goodman sits down with the Punk Rock Safety crew: David Provan, Ron Gantt, & Ben Goodheart!

They laughed, joked, talked music, talked ‘safety nostalgia,’ talked learning and leading with better questions, and discovered a new best practice for ending meetings early.... And, not the first serious moment was had.

Good.

“Some things are too important to be taken seriously.”
