    Worth your time
    I've been listening to Todd's podcast for a few years and find him to be a master at combining education and entertainment within the safety environment. He has helped me consolidate my experience of safety in the fire service. I encourage everyone to listen to his pod. Thank you Todd!
  • pwyup
    Very insightful pod cast
    This guy has something figured out to a level most of us haven’t even got to yet. Excellent pod cast with content that’s filled with a totally different view of the workplace. Highly recommend this guy very good investment of time spent. And he has a sense of humor about it to make it entertaining also.

    Marty would shot it. At least once, if not twice.
  • oliviabaker13
    A valuable resource!

    Real Life Stuff
    While we talk about safety, this podcast material is about functional, real life tools that make us all better. Truly, inspirational and life changing.
  • jamielaborer
    Love this stuff!
    Hey there! The plethora of information and knowledge the spill out in this podcast is fantastic. HOP on board and reap free knowledge on safety. The price is right. It’s priceless!
  • Jayqe l'amour
    Great listen!
    In a world of “safety gurus”, this podcast cuts through the haze and delivers clear concise messages and theories. More than worth the listen!

    APCo symposium
    Followed you on here after you came to speak at the APC safety symposium last Thurs (July 12th). Part of your talk you had mentioned fingerless gloves at an auto manufacturing plant, and to give you a chuckle, for too many minutes I assumed that by “gloves with tear away fingers to change the safety environment” that you meant so that other workers could see how many people had lost fingers in accidents (they would see a missing finger on the glove) and it would change their mindset. Then realized you meant rotating machines / gloves were getting caught and ripping fingers off and facepalmed.

    Kudos to Peter Jackson!
    I had a tough day yesterday with our leadership team. It was great to hear the insight from Peter around “you will have good days and you will have bad days”. I could have blamed myself for not having a good engagement or I could ask for feedback to learn! I chose the second and I got great feedback.
  • BlanchW
    Absolutely best safety podcast
    Just discovered Todd Conklin's Podcast this week and loving it! I cannot tell you how much I appreciated your coverage of safety systems, culture, and resilience. The guest list is amazing. I started off listening to Sidney Dekker, David Woods, and am looking forward Scott Fillmon and so many more. Thank you and keep them coming.
  • J-Fred23
    Great
    I don't agree with 100% of what is said, but a great & informational podcast
  • ScottR_5460
    Informative and Fun
    Todd’s podcasts have been a great introduction into human performance and the new view of safety. Using an entertaining, conversational, and engaging interviewing style he taps into deep thinkers and, as I now begin to learn more about the field, some real heavy hitters (who are also fun). I’m not a safety guy, but I find the conversations very relevant to my work, in which people make decisions, do stuff, think about prevention, and work in systems. Aside from his weekly ~30 min podcasts, he produces a weekly Safety Moment which are always thought provoking. Thanks for all your time and effort Todd, you've informed my thinking and work significantly!

    Essential
    Todd always has great perspectives and people in his podcasts. I learn so much from hearing him speak and from his books. Highly recommend diving in to these podcasts to keep yourself learning... Every day.
  • TGarrett
    Keep it coming Todd!
    The conversations you are hosting are the essence of what it is to get better at safety. You are helping to connect us into a large laboratory of learning. Great guests and great discussions!
  • oftcaberry
    A gem
    Very informative and the leading edge of human performance thinking.
  • smileyfireguy
    Solid !
    A tip of the hat to Todd and his guests on this outstanding podcast. Anyone looking to improve the performance of thier team or organzation, or even to view the world of human performance through a new and refreshing lense, look no further. Through casual conversations, Todd takes you on an insightful and thought provoking ride, a ride where you feel like you as you are seated right next to him along an exciting road of inquiry and discovery! Cheers to Todd and all of his guests on this wonderful podcast.
  • FJKRA

    So Insightful!!
    I do not work within their industry, but the information and the thoughtful exploration of the processes introduced are valuable to anyone working within any field. Todd is a genius and a pleasure to listen to.

    What a fabulous approach to sharing thoughts and knowledge! The content and depth of the conversations was brilliant and the podcast created a great sense of connection ....felt like I was there with you and Martha. Now, get busy and create more while I pour a glass of wine and wait for the next conversation. Thank you Todd and Martha for your continuing contributions!! PS - The podcast also strikes me as a good median for knowledge capture vs. writing technical dialogues. Anyone currently doing this in the work setting? Thank you Todd and Martha for your continuing contributions!!
