After interviewing 141 incredible guests from 107 organizations, publishing 303 episodes, and sharing 87 hours of content downloaded in 81+ countries, we knew one thing for sure—it was time to evolve.

✨ Introducing: The Safety Leadership Collective ✨

Officially launched in January 2026, our new name reflects what this podcast has truly become: a global network of safety and leadership experts, practitioners, and passionate listeners committed to building safer, stronger workplaces everywhere.

🎧 The Safety Leadership Collective is a podcast by the Portage County Safety Council, based in Ravenna, Ohio. We bring people together to elevate workplace safety, leadership, and well-being through meaningful conversations with experts from across the nation—sharing insights, inspiration, and practical ideas you can actually use.

📲 You can listen anytime, anywhere on most podcast apps—putting relevant workplace safety knowledge right in your pocket.

Thank you to our guests, listeners, and partners for being part of this journey. We’re just getting started—and we can’t wait to grow the Collective with you. 💙
