Rob and TVTP Solutions - Rob's 20-Year Journey to Stop the Next Crisis Before It Happens

Rob went from aspiring dentist to broadcasting student before finding his true calling in 2005 watching Hurricane Katrina unfold - specifically heartbroken by people forced to evacuate without their pets due to FEMA policy gaps. He became one of the first to earn a master's in emergency and disaster management, spending 20 years in the field before founding TVTP Solutions (Threat Violence and Threat Prevention Solutions), a consultancy focused on the chronically underfunded work of prevention over protection.In this conversation, Rob unpacks why we're heading toward a massive identity crisis as AI displaces jobs, how "paper cuts" of cumulative grievances lead to violence, and why genuine human connection might be our most powerful prevention tool - making this the first non-tech episode that proves deep conversations transcend industry boundaries.
