In this episode, Allen gives updates on The Blind Side of Safety (now in paperback) and Work Comp for Safety & HR for Idiots. But this isn’t just about books — it’s about health, humanity, and the hazards of lazy labeling.
From boosting your immunity for “snot rocket season” (without swapping your meds for tree bark and garlic cloves) to remembering the workers lost in Colorado and Alabama, Allen blends sarcasm with serious lessons. He dives into why compassion drives people into danger, why tragedies shouldn’t be written off as “ignoring safety,” and why slapping political or religious labels on individuals is lazy, destructive, and dangerous.
And yes — he explains why nobody wants their obituary to read: “He died trying to get swole and sexy at the same time.”
Listen in for humor, honesty, and a reminder this Labor Day that safety, health, and compassion don’t belong to one label, one party, or one industry — they belong to all of us.
