ABOUT THIS EPISODE
LOOK TWICE — VOLUME 3: BEFORE IT GOES WRONG | TIM BEARD
The best time to think about danger isn't after something happens. It's before it goes wrong.
Tim Beard returns for Volume 3 of our LOOK TWICE series for another conversation about personal safety, awareness, prevention, and the small decisions we make every day that can have enormous consequences.
This time, the focus shifts toward recognizing problems before they become emergencies.
How often do we move through our daily lives on autopilot? How much do we really notice about our surroundings? And could simply slowing down, looking twice, and thinking one step ahead prevent an accident—or something far worse?
Tim joins Tim and Eli to discuss situational awareness, preparation, everyday risks, and why prevention often begins with something incredibly simple: paying attention.
This isn't about living your life afraid of what might happen.
It's about recognizing what could happen before it goes wrong.
Welcome to LOOK TWICE — Volume 3.
