That's why today's SYSK Trending topic is how to stay safe in a dangerous world.

In a moment, my conversation with Spencer Corson.

He is a personal security expert who has spent years protecting high profile clients and studying how everyday people can stay one step ahead of potential threats.

And he shares simple habits and situational awareness techniques that anyone can use without living in fear.

We also dive into practical real-world strategies that could make all the difference in a critical moment.

So if you've ever wondered what you should be doing to stay safe, you'll find out right after this.

How safe are you when you and the members of your family walk out of your house, or even when you're in your house?

Are you safe from harm?

We all like to think we're safe, and probably are most of the time.

But all of us have been in situations that seemed unsafe, or we felt might be unsafe.

Little warning bells went off in our head, and maybe we listened to those warnings, and maybe we didn't.

Maybe we didn't want to offend someone, so we ignored them.

Personal safety is important and sometimes a little tricky.

You don't want to think of everyone you meet and every situation you're in as a potential threat.

That would be exhausting.

Still, it's important to plan and think about what you would do if things went wrong.

Here with some insight and some very practical and sensible advice about personal safety is Spencer Corson.

He's a nationally recognized threat management expert, founder of Corson Security Group in Austin, Texas, and author of the book, The Safety Trap, a security expert's secrets for staying safe in a dangerous world.

Hi, Spencer.
