My dad joins me to talk about something we don’t always think about—emergency preparedness. We dive into his experience working during Hurricane Katrina, where he had to help Haitian refugees and eventually return them to safety. It’s a powerful reminder of how important it is to stay alert and cautious in unpredictable situations, especially when there’s the potential for hostility.
We also get into how my dad prepared me for emergencies growing up. From fire drills at home to having a fire safety plan that was somehow already embedded in my subconscious, he made sure I was always ready for the unexpected—even if I didn’t realize it at the time.
This conversation blends personal stories with life lessons about being prepared for whatever comes your way. You won’t want to miss it. Tune in to hear my dad’s wisdom, and some laughs along the way, as we explore the value of preparation and staying safe.
