Adapting to modern security threats

Gerald Herbert

We talk to a law enforcement and safety expert about what recent incidents in New Orleans and Las Vegas reveal about the evolving landscape of security threats — and how communities and organizations can adapt to meet these new challenges head-on.

Guest:

  • Mark Baughman, retired federal law enforcement officer.

Then, we sit down with First Coast philanthropist and One Jax humanitarian award honoree Josh Martino to talk about everything from mastering the art of running a beloved barbecue hot spot to paving the way for former prisoners to rebuild their lives and rejoin the workforce.

Guest:

  • Josh Martino, president and CEO of Home Team Restaurant Group and Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q.
  • Reggie Fullwood, president and CEO of Operation New Hope.
  • Elizabeth Andersen, CEO of OneJax.

And, the owner of a local hair salon is turning style into substance with a unique “Pay-What-You-Can: Haircuts for Human Rights” fundraiser, emphasizing the power of community care. Every snip and style will contribute to Southern Legal Counsel, a nonprofit dedicated to championing human rights and transforming lives across Florida.
