What to Expect from The Canary Report

Each episode, Michael Zalle sits down with bold thinkers who are challenging the way organizations confront risk. You’ll hear from trailblazers across industries — from technology and operations to insurance and frontline safety — who bring human-first insights and hard-won lessons from the field.

This isn’t theory. It’s tactical insight you can use to lead smarter and act faster.

Topics include:

  • Tech-enabled safety strategies that actually scale
  • Real-world case studies from high-risk industries
  • Leadership tactics for building future-ready safety cultures

Why We Created This Podcast

Risk leaders are under more pressure than ever — shrinking budgets, rising expectations, and a workforce that’s demanding more. The old models aren’t cutting it anymore.

We launched The Canary Report to arm you with the stories, tools, and ideas that make a difference in the real world. Because safety isn’t a checklist — it’s a competitive edge.

“Real leaders don’t check boxes. They build systems and cultures that protect people. And people are everything.”
