Ep. 14: Courage Casts - Why We Train for the Outliers
In this Courage Cast, retired Police Captain Josh Bitsko explains the outlier principle and why we must prepare for rare but devastating events. Active shooter incidents are statistically uncommon, yet their impact is enormous when they happen.
Josh reflects on lessons from policing and shows how the same principle applies to business and life. High impact, low frequency events demand preparation, clear procedures, and a resilient mindset. This episode challenges you to identify your own outliers and make sure you are ready before they arrive.
