This week, Sheldon talks with CSP and founder Cory Sherman about replacing unreliable air horns/text chains with mobile, site-wide emergency communication towers—plus practical playbooks for earning buy-in, converting decision-makers, and escaping the “safety cop” trap. We dig into fire drills that took 45 minutes (and why), integrating alerts with detectors/SCADA, onboarding crews in 30–45 minutes, and the business side of selling safety (cold outreach, CRM, and pain-point follow-ups). Perfect for EHS leaders, consultants, and construction pros who need faster, clearer emergency response and better adoption on the ground.
