Ep. 111: The Courage to Live - Uvalde: What Failed, What We Learned, and Why Leadership Matters

Josh and Jenna take on the Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde, Texas, not to rehash headlines, but to pull out the hard leadership lessons that still apply today. They walk through a clear timeline of the incident, explain the critical difference between an active shooter and a barricaded subject, and break down how confusion, command failures, and hesitation can stall action when seconds matter. The conversation also highlights why tabletop exercises, unified command, and coordinated public messaging are not “extra” work, but the foundation of a response that cannot fail. Part two will cover the acquittal of the first officer on scene and the upcoming case against the school police chief.
