Send us Fan MailFive years ago, I hit publish with a simple goal: make mental health easier to talk about and easier to access. Now, Resilience Development in Action is built specifically for first responder mental health, because police, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and dispatchers carry stress and trauma most people never see, then get told to just push through it.I'm sharing what's kept this podcast steady for weekly Wednesdays, including the behind-the-scenes support that makes the audio and video work, plus why I keep sponsorships limited to tools and brands I genuinely stand behind. You'll also hear why I don't want mental health care to be something you reach for only at the breaking point. I make the case for wellness visits, a practical “checkup from the neck up” that mirrors how we treat physical health and lowers the barrier to getting support early.We also dig into the work I'm doing with departments through FRTRESS, with a focus on education, familiarity, and referrals that actually fit the culture. And if you're curious about the video side, I point you to Apple Podcasts video and YouTube, plus a fun giveaway tied to what you can see on camera.If you've ever thought “I'm fine” while carrying too much, hit play. Then subscribe, share the show with someone on your shift, and leave a review so more first responders can find trusted mental health resources.The Behind the Badge and Beyond Website is: https://www.behindthebadgeandbeyond.com/My website is: www.steve-bisson.comVideo version of the podcast is available at: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/resilience-development-in-action-first-responder-mental/id1569606639Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!DeemedFit: First Responder OwnedWe are a first responder owned company looking to get first responders in the best mental shape.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

This week, John and Adam sit down with Mark, founder of ATHX Games.Mark shares his journey from running an event for a supplement company to the spark that inspired NFG, and how that eventually evolved into ATHX. We dig into what it means to build a brand in the hybrid fitness space, how ATHX differentiates from the competition, and the challenge of staying credible for podium athletes while remaining genuinely accessible for first-timers.We talk about the recent Miami event, where athletes from CrossFit and Hyrox backgrounds competed head to head, and Mark's vision for ATHX as a proving ground where different training methodologies can stack up against each other. He breaks down the strategic thinking behind scaling from a handful of European events to eleven-plus in a single year, the operational model making that possible, and what a move into the US market might look like.The conversation also covers ATHX's four-year global partnership with Adidas — how supportive they've been, their intent behind the deal, and their growing involvement in fitness competitions and fitness racing. We explore the expanding affiliate model and how ATHX supports its gym network, plus the Uptivo partnership and the AI-driven data insights competitors can take away from every event to feed directly into their training.A brilliant conversation packed with insight into what it really takes to build and scale a global fitness event from the ground up.Compete in an ATHX event: https://athxgames.com/The Progm at https://www.instagram.com/theprogrm/Please share feedback and questions to: info@theprogrm.comVideo version: https://www.youtube.com/@TheProgrmAcademy/streamsCome and join us live Mondays at 6pm GMT 7PM CET on the above link.We have an EIC offer for you.
