PBJ Learning Founders Celebrate Incredible Milestones

Dr. David Deeds and Billy Joe Cain dedicated their lives to ending human trafficking through awareness and education. In 2020, they joined forces to start PBJ Learning, a leader in online human trafficking education, and have not slowed down throughout the pandemic.

“Trafficking hasn't taken a break, and neither have we,” says Deeds. “We are constantly looking for ways to reach people and we're not afraid to take chances.”

In August of 2021, their first online course, Human Trafficking Essentials, was released and has since been used in university-level criminal justice classes and for job training in international professional organizations.

“We're proud of our online course,” says Cain, “It combines over a decade of Dr. Deeds' educational experience with my gamification background to create a one-of-a-kind learning tool, accessible through any web browser.”

They have reached a series of unique milestones in the human trafficking education movement:

• 2016. Radical Empathy was founded, based upon the idea that “gamified” education using virtual reality can end trafficking.
• 2017. Cain traveled across America, learning the field, making connections, and writing the script for Radical Empathy's 2018 virtual reality product.
• 2018. TRAPPED: A VR Detective Story. This award-winning, virtual reality application takes fifteen minutes to teach people that anyone could become a victim through grooming and coercion. This in-person experience impacts people at public events, charity events, and at schools.
• 2019. University of North Texas Health Science Center licenses TRAPPED for their medical students, adding to the public middle and high schools (and non-profits) using it to educate people.
• 2020. David created his Human Trafficking Hater YouTube channel, earning almost 100,000 views.
• 2020. PBJ Learning was founded to provide scalable, measurable, online education to a broader audience than in-person training.
• 2021 August. PBJ Learning released Human Trafficking Essentials, an online course that teaches the core learning objectives, or the “101” of trafficking, in a better format and with better results than any other course on the market.
• 2022 Q2. David created a Human Trafficking Hater TikTok channel and has 1,100 followers. Total views exceed 330k to date.
• 2022 June. Radical Empathy educated its 4500th student at the Light the Way Summit in Dallas, Texas.
• 2022 July. PBJ Learning released its 1000th online article through its Knowledge Vault.
