Tips, Tactics, and Tools for a Safer Tomorrow was born out of several conversations between Brink Fidler and Tom Herring that always revolved around how they focus on properly educating their clients in order to maximize their effectiveness and customer service.

Both companies strive to meet the same end goal and that is to increase the safety and security posture of their clients.

Brink’s company, Defend Systems, specializes in physical security consulting and active shooter mitigation training, while Tom’s company, Herring Technology, focuses on being the best security technology integrator in the industry that can provide a one stop shop for any client’s technology needs.

The focus of this podcast is to educate and empower people. We discuss everything related to safety and security be it at home, work, church, or the mall. We take an in depth look at security technology, ease of use, reliability, and DIY products for homeowners.

What in the world is going on with people these days? Why does the division in our country seem so deep and irreconcilable?

If one attitude can sum up our culture at the moment, it’s “I’m okay, you’re *not* okay.”

According to Michael Drew, we’ve been here before. Back in 1940 or so….and 1860 before that. We go through this every 80 years.

Brink and Producer Jim talk to Michael who co-authored a book called, “Pendulum: How Past Generations Shape Our Present and Predict Our Future” and it’s astonishingly accurate.
