Jason Brick on Staying Safe, Avoiding Violence, and His Book There I Was…When Nothing Happened
Bleeped words: murd3rbot (twice), k!lled (twice)
Hello My Happy People,
This week on Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt, I talk with author, journalist, and martial artist Jason Brick about his mission to make families safer. With decades of martial arts training, work as a bodyguard, and experience as a dad, Jason brings unique insight into personal safety and violence prevention.
In our chat, we highlight his book There I Was…When Nothing Happened: True Tales of Violence Prevention from Professionals in the Field, which shares over 50 real-life stories from experts in law enforcement, martial arts, and security. Each story shows how preparation, awareness, de-escalation, and escape can prevent violence before it starts.
Jason also introduces Safest Family on the Block, his podcast and book project built around interviews with experts ranging from bodyguards to school administrators, to name just a few. His work gives parents and communities practical tools to protect what matters most.
If you’ve ever worried about how to keep you and your family safe, this episode offers practical tools and real-life wisdom you can use right away to give you peace of mind. Don't wait, go listen now!
Book, Blog, and Podcast: SAFEST FAMILY ON THE BLOCK!
Enjoy,
Dianne
