This week on Leadership and Learning with On Target, we're doing something a little different.

Sam and Mike were guests at the Brisbane Safety Differently Book Club: a room full of safety and leadership professionals who came ready to ask hard questions. No script, no slides. Just an hour of genuinely candid conversation about what aviation gets right, and what every other industry is still getting wrong.

They cover why root cause analysis is where learning goes to die, how military debriefs actually work, the CACA framework for turning lessons identified into lessons actually learned, and what it felt like to be 300 feet from another fast jet with half a second to react.

Recorded live. A little raw. Worth it.
