We're All Insane · I Was a School Shooter · 5 Jul 2026 podcast

And so I've been working the past few years, however I can, talking to people to kind of put those pieces of the puzzle together and how others can see red flags, how others can help individuals and to better understand this.

Yeah.

There's also, there's a lot of times, you know, the gunman is dead or in prison for life and they're not speaking out.

And so it is, I have this very dark, unique perspective that I wish I didn't have, but I do.

So that's why I try to spread awareness and to help however I can.

Yeah, and especially when you're talking with kids, so many times, parents, teachers, law enforcement, when they reach out to me and they wanna know how to get a kid to open up, I tell them, first, you have to open up to them a little bit.

You have to get them to be able to connect and respond to somebody.

It's not a one-way street, it is a two-way street.

Through opening up not only at conferences and on podcasts, but on social media,

I've had millions of people hear my story and yeah, there's a lot of controversy with me opening up and I completely understand that.

I'm not looking for forgiveness.

I'm not looking to be liked, none of that.

I'm looking simply for, like you said, spreading awareness, but also through opening up, I've had so many people open up to me.

A lot of kids, a lot of young adults who are struggling, who were in that dark place that I was once in have opened up to me and they simply want somebody who they feel won't judge them.

somebody who will listen to them won't, you know, deliver any consequences because that's a lot of times one of the biggest hurdles is somebody who's going through a tumultuous time in their life and they're thinking about maybe hurting themselves or others.

They don't want to admit to it because they don't want the consequences that might follow up, whether it's just institutionalization in a mental hospital or even being locked up or even just the stigma of people looking at you differently.

And I just kind of like, hey,

People know my story.

They feel more comfortable opening up to me sometimes.

And I'm willing to be there to listen to them as well as, like I said, I don't want to just talk.
