Leadership, Misinformation & Survival Instincts | Kerrville Flood 2025

Episode 55 – Emergency Update from Kerrville, TX

Recorded Live on Youtube: July 10, 2025
Official Release Date: July 21, 2025

On July 4, catastrophic flash flooding struck Kerrville and the surrounding Texas Hill Country. I recorded this message during the emergency phase, now released as conditions begin to stabilize.

This episode is not a news recap. It’s a real-time reflection on leadership, community response, misinformation, emotional maturity, and what happens when survival systems override rational decision-making.

There will be no video. No follow-up flood series. No clickbait. Just this message—and then we move forward.

New episodes return Thursday with regular teaching on thought work, leadership systems, and survival instinct coaching.

What happened in Kerrville during the flood emergency
How the local community showed up with courage and care
Why misinformation causes secondary harm in disaster recovery
