🎙️ Safety Jon on LinkedUp Podcast — Episode #1 Launch

Today marks a big milestone — I had the privilege of being the very first guest on the LinkedUp Podcast, and we didn’t hold back.

From the moment Darin hit record, we got straight into the realities of front-line workplace safety — the kind of insights that don’t come from textbooks or policy manuals.

What We Covered

In this episode, we tackled:

• The reality of safety work — from a regulator's perspective.

• Leadership that works — and the kind that puts people at risk.

• Moments that stick for life — experiences that shape how I work today.

• My philosophy — why I refuse to sugar-coat when lives are at stake.
  

These aren’t theories or corporate buzzwords. They’re hard truths from years in some of Australia’s most dangerous and highly regulated environments.

Behind the Mic

What struck me most was how naturally the conversation flowed. We could have talked for hours — not just about the challenges, but about the responsibility we carry as leaders and safety professionals to speak up, act fast, and hold the line when it matters.
