Encounters with danger seldom announce themselves, so learning to defuse tense situations with poise is crucial. Mike Dandridge, a titan in risk management at CD Risk Consulting, and I share practical tips for personal safety, emphasizing strategies like maintaining distance, using verbal cues, and attracting attention with devices like the Birdie personal alarm. Our conversation also ventures into online dating, a realm fraught with risks for seniors seeking companionship, and we arm you with the know-how to spot and sidestep the traps laid by modern-day scammers.

In an era where Technology is both a tool and a weapon, understanding its dual nature is key to protection. We discuss the boon of GPS apps and in-home monitoring systems for senior safety, ponder the merits of technological aids like Life360 and Air Tags, and highlight the insidious ways AI is being weaponized in scams. This episode isn't just a discussion—it's a crucial toolkit for preserving the dignity and Security of our senior population.
