Episode Description from the Publisher

Why do so many people say, "He came out of nowhere" after a crime happens? The truth is, most threats don't appear out of thin air, they were there the whole time. We just didn't see them.  In this episode, Andy breaks down practical situational awareness skills that can help you stay safer in public, make better decisions faster, and avoid becoming an easy target. You'll learn why watching only the front door can limit your awareness, how time of day changes the safety of any environment, why multitasking and smartphones can make you vulnerable, and how social media can expose your movements before you even arrive.  If you want to feel more confident, more prepared, and more in control when you're out in the world, this episode is for you.  Take control of your data with DeleteMe.
