Your Heard Tell for Monday, December the 5th, 2022, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by delving into what is causing, exacerbating, and prolonging the teacher shortage, and how we are going to need far more than just raised pay and buzzwords to address the crisis. Our guest is Jeff Broaddus of Broaddus Defense who brings his military and Secret Service experience to talk about activite shooters, work place violence, mass shootings, and how he trains folks to prepare, be vigilant, and respond to violent crisis situations.
