🎯 Another Great Tactical Storytelling Workshop! 📖

We're thrilled to have presented our Tactical Storytelling workshop to the students and faculty at Montclair State University through two dynamic cohorts!

Attendees dove deep into the science behind storytelling and explored its powerful foundations rooted in Positive Psychology. Using our proprietary, evidence-based process, participants developed their own compelling stories and gained practical skills they can carry into their careers and communities.

Big thanks to MSU for the opportunity to share this transformative content!

✈️ When the unthinkable happens — are YOU ready?

TOMORROW at , don't miss one of the most powerful sessions on the floor:

🔴 Aircraft Crash Disaster: Preparedness & Response for the Unthinkable
📅 Tuesday, August 4, 2026 | 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📍 Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Room 301

Led by David Pereira — Army veteran, retired state trooper, federal investigator, and 30+ year public safety professional — this isn't a classroom lecture. This is hard-won, real-world experience from someone who has been there, including responding to recent aviation accidents at the federal level.

In just 60 minutes, you'll walk away knowing how to:
✅ Command the chaos of the first 15 minutes
✅ Coordinate with federal agencies during aviation incidents
✅ Manage fuel, cargo, and structural hazards
✅ Integrate fire, EMS, and law enforcement in mass-casualty environments
✅ Protect responder well-being and community trust long after the cameras leave

Aviation disasters don't wait for you to be ready. This session will make sure you are.

See you in Room 301. 🚨

Most people don’t know when they are just about to cross the veil from this life to the next. Most of the time there is no warning so live accordingly.
