This episode features Chapter 16 from the full-length audiobook Before It Happens: The Art of Staying Safe Before Violence Starts by David Burnell.
Helping others is noble, but good intentions alone aren't enough in a world of deception, chaos, and rapidly evolving threats. In this gripping and wise chapter, David Burnell breaks down one of the most challenging questions in modern personal safety:
When should you step in? And when should you step back?
Through powerful real-world examples from law enforcement, humanitarian missions, and civilian encounters, you’ll learn:
- How to spot a setup trap
- Why reactive heroism can backfire
- When pause and observation are safer than intervention
- What legal and ethical lines do you need to know before helping
- How to help smart, safe, and effective—without becoming the next victim
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “What would I do if I saw someone in danger?”—this chapter is for you.
This is a single chapter from Before It Happens: The Art of Staying Safe Before Violence Starts by David Burnell, available now on Audible, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more.
