Podcasts about first responders

Send us a textCrises rarely look like TV. Most calls aren't bank robberies; they're frantic welfare checks, neighbor standoffs over fences, a parent terrified for a missing teen, or someone hearing voices at 2 a.m. We sit down with Dr. Sarah Abbott, a pioneer of the police–clinician co-response model, to unpack how pairing a trained clinician with officers at the point of contact reshapes outcomes: fewer arrests, fewer injuries, and far more dignity for the person in distress.Sarah shares the origin story from Massachusetts, where “jail diversion” began as a humane alternative for low-level offenses tangled with mental illness and grew into a comprehensive crisis response approach now spreading nationally and internationally. We get honest about the early skepticism and what changed minds: consistent data, strong command support, and the day-to-day reality that most police work involves behavioral health, not crime. We also go inside Section 12—involuntary transport in Massachusetts—and why sending officers with little background information is risky for everyone. The fix is coordination and clarity: share what you legally can, add a clinician to the response, and approach the door with a plan rooted in safety and rapport.Training is the force multiplier. Sarah breaks down how academy curricula evolved to center practical de-escalation and communication, then explains why the biggest gains come later with advanced, scenario-driven refreshers once officers have real street context. We talk tactics for engaging someone in psychosis without lying or escalating, why 988 is essential but not a complete substitute, and how blending 988, CIT, and co-response builds a smarter, safer safety net. We close with Sarah's work at William James College and the new Center for Crisis Response and Behavioral Health, designed to scale what works across departments and borders.If you care about first responder mental health, public safety, and better outcomes for people in crisis, this conversation offers a clear roadmap. Listen, share it with your team, and leave a review so more agencies can find these tools and put them to work in their communities.To reach Sarah, please visit her website at: https://www.abbottsolutionsforjustice.comSarah can also befound on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/abbott-solutions-for-justice-llc/?viewAsMember=trueFreed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Ridgeland Police Chief Brian Myers and New Albany Fire Chief Mark Whiteside said pending changes the Legislature made to the state employee retirement system will make it even harder to hire and retain first responders. They want the Legislature to revisit an overhaul of the Public Employee Retirement System set to take effect in March for those who serve in high-stress, low paying and dangerous first-responder jobs.

Line work is one of the most dangerous jobs in America, with fatality rates in the line trade more than six times those in all other occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. To come home safely to their families every night, lineworkers must not only follow safe work practices and wear proper personal protective equipment, but also safeguard their mental health. Oftentimes, lineworkers experience a near-miss themselves or the loss of a coworker, and the toll can be complete self-destruction, said Ken Lulow of Line Worker Solutions. Rather than trying to self-cope and hold it all in, they can reach out for help from their coworkers, company and community mental health professionals. This episode, narrated from the article "Prioritizing the Mental Health of First Responders" in the 2025 T&D World Lineworker Supplement, delves beneath the surface of safety in the line trade to offer six strategies to help lineworkers focus on their mental health and wellness. For more information, stay tuned to Part 2, which will feature an interview with Jenny Lavin, founder of Union Care Solutions and Part 3, which will offer more tips on how to break the silence on mental health struggles and get help. Line Life Podcast listeners in the United States can also dial "988" to be immediately connected to local resources in their community. Thanks for listening and sharing this special episode.

In this episode of The Amber May Show, we confront the rise of AI-blended faith, exposing the troubling trend of churches turning to a counterfeit “Chatbot Jesus.” But while tech creates illusions, real miracles still happen—like the powerful near-death encounter reported by Pastor Dave Scarlett, a modern-day Job who says he met Jesus after dying. We break down the defeat of Senate Democrats' performative healthcare bill, a political messaging flop that fizzled on arrival. And to round it out, we dive into Nicki Minaj's explosive criticism of Gavin Newsom, accusing him of pushing dangerous policies involving trans kids. It's a high-impact mix of spiritual truth, political accountability, and cultural reality.

We are honored to welcome Kevin Tighe, the actor who brought Roy DeSoto to life on the groundbreaking series Emergency! and whose career has spanned stage, screen, and service.Kevin takes us back to his beginnings at the Pasadena Playhouse, where he first stepped into the world of acting at just 10 years old. From there, he trained with legendary teachers Stella Adler and Bobby Lewis, absorbing the craft that would later shape his most memorable roles.He reflects on his early film work, including Yours, Mine and Ours, and shares a warm, behind-the-scenes moment with Lucille Ball. Kevin then recounts the unexpected and nerve-wracking audition process that led to Emergency! and how a chance encounter with actor David Janssen calmed his nerves and helped him nail the screen test that changed his life.Kevin discusses the legacy of Emergency! notable for the realism brought by on-set medical advisors. The show inspired a surge of interest in first responder careers, and it raised awareness of lifesaving pre-hospitalization, EMS opportunities that inspired paramedic programs throughout the country.Kevin talks candidly about the challenges he faced following Emergency!, including his struggle with fame and his move to Washington State. There, he dedicated himself to community work and played a key role in establishing Hospice of the Northwest.After decades of appearances on big and small screens with memorable roles in Roadhouse, Newsies, Law And Order SUV, Freaks and Geeks, and the list goes on, you can now see Kevin in the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, One Battle After Another, and he shares a touching moment between himself and P.T. Anderson which allowed Kevin to create a menacing screen moment that will live in infamy. Kevin also looks back on earning his master's degree at USC and the students he taught who went on to thrive in their field. And IMDB Roulette this week is full of close calls, career achievements and reflections on the early promise of today's biggest stars. All that PLUS, Emergency!

In Round 101 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, there comes a point in a military or first responder career when the job that once felt right begins to feel different. You may still be committed, still disciplined, and still performing, but something in you has changed. The identity you built through years of service no longer aligns with the person you have become. Many veterans and first responders feel this shift quietly. It shows up as internal friction, a loss of energy, or a subtle awareness that the role no longer matches your values or emotional needs.This episode explores the emotional reality behind that moment. It focuses on identity, direction, and the slow evolution that happens in these careers. Transition is not about quitting. It is about understanding who you are becoming and how your future can reflect that growth.Using grounded insight, this episode walks you through the experience of misalignment and how to use that awareness as a tool for transition preparation, no matter where you are in your career.Transition Group Breakdown• Close Range Group (transition within 1 year):Tip: Alignment with Future Identity, Not a Perfect Job TitleExplanation: When transition is close, clarity matters more than panic, and emotional steadiness helps you move intentionally into the next chapter.• Medium Range Group (transition in 3 to 5 years):Tip: Begin Mapping 3 LanesExplanation: This period gives you time to build skills, education, and identity outside the uniform so your options expand instead of collapse.• Long Range Group (transition a decade or more away):Tip: Protect Your Identity from Becoming One-Dimensional.Explanation: Early habits in health, identity, and personal development protect you from becoming defined by a single role later in life.This episode helps you understand that misalignment is not failure. It is information. And when you listen to it early, transition becomes a choice, not a crisis.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dig into one of the most universal — and misunderstood — struggles in the first responder world: chronic fatigue (Amazon Affiliate) that doesn't go away, even after "enough" sleep. Police officers, firefighters, EMTs, dispatchers, corrections officers, and military members all experience a unique form of exhaustion that has little to do with laziness and everything to do with shift work, hypervigilance, trauma exposure, cortisol dysregulation, and emotional overload. If you've ever wondered, "Why am I still exhausted even when I'm off?" — this episode gives you the science, the psychology, and the strategies to finally understand what's happening inside your body.

WILLS POINT, Texas — Church relief teams in Sri Lanka are wading through perilous flood waters to hand-deliver food parcels to families after tropical storms caused devastation across South Asia, claiming more than 1,000 lives. More heavy rainfall is expected in the coming days as Sri Lanka and other parts of the region are left reeling from the cluster of tropical cyclones, forcing thousands to evacuate. “Major flood risks and landslide warnings pose a grave danger to communities and churches," mission agency GFA World (www.gfa.org) reports. “Several of our churches are located within the landslide warning zones, meaning residents must evacuate.” The Texas-based organization has launched an emergency appeal as the death toll in Sri Lanka and across the region continues to climb. In Sri Lanka, an island nation off the Indian subcontinent, more than 360 people have lost their lives, hundreds of homes have been damaged or destroyed, with tens of thousands of people displaced and in temporary shelters. Some areas in the central tea-growing hills have been virtually cut off by flood waters Bishop Daniel GFA World (www.gfa.org) is a leading faith-based global missions agency, helping thousands of national missionaries bring vital assistance and spiritual hope to millions across the world, especially in Africa and Asia, and sharing the love of God. In a typical year, this includes thousands of community development projects that benefit downtrodden families and their children, free medical camps conducted in hundreds of villages and remote communities, and more than 150,000 families provided with the means to break the cycle of poverty through income-generating gifts. More than 40,000 fresh water wells have been drilled since 2007, hundreds of thousands of women are now empowered through literacy training, and Christ-motivated ministry takes place every day throughout 18 nations. GFA World has launched programs in Africa, starting with compassion projects in Rwanda. For all the latest news, visit the Press Room at https://gfanews.org/news.GFA

Send us a textWhat does it take to build mental health care that first responders actually trust? We sit down with former Revere police officer Joe Rizzuti, whose journey from stacked line-of-duty trauma and alcohol use to peer support leadership strips away the clichés and gets to what works. Joe's story starts with a tough childhood, a military turnaround, and a policing career shaped by high-stakes cases and a deep love for community. It also includes administrative betrayals, devastating calls, and the moment he walked into On-Site Academy expecting a firearms range and found a lifeline instead.From there, Joe breaks down how cultural competence changes outcomes. If a clinician doesn't understand roll call, shift work, gallows humor, and the weight of cumulative stress, trust collapses. He explains how he vets treatment programs—On-Site for acute resets, First Responder Wellness in California for intensive trauma work, and union-aligned options like IAFF Centers of Excellence—while calling out profit-first models that fail responders. We talk insurance constraints, travel realities, and why credibility is earned one referral at a time.We also tackle the retiree cliff and why too many officers and firefighters struggle within five years of leaving the job. Joe's answer: a coaching model adapted from recovery support that restores purpose, routine, and community long before the badge comes off. The takeaway is clear—care must be team-driven, ego-free, and relentlessly practical. If you lead, remove barriers. If you treat, learn the culture. If you're a peer, keep checking in long after the headlines fade. If you are interested, please visit the Onsite academy at https://onsiteacademy.org/ Visit the NEPBA at https://www.nepba.org/Subscribe, share with a teammate who needs it, and leave a review to help more first responders find this conversation.Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The conversation highlights the significance of recognizing and addressing character defects, the challenges of change, and the empowerment that comes from choosing to surrender to a higher power or the process itself.Ultimately, the episode serves as a motivational guide for those seeking to transform their lives through recovery.TakeawaysStep seven is about humility, not humiliation.Letting go of harmful patterns creates space for growth.It's important to recognize what no longer serves us.Change starts with self-awareness and willingness.You don't have to fix everything alone; community support is vital.Progress is more important than perfection in recovery.Life is an inside job; real change comes from within.Letting go of the past is essential for moving forward.Choosing to change is more empowering than feeling forced to change.Building new habits takes time and patience.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Step Seven02:46 The Secular Perspective on Step Seven05:23 Encouragement and Support in Recovery08:04 The Importance of Self-Awareness10:49 Transformation Through Humility13:25 Building New Patterns15:57 The Inside Job of Recovery19:00 Choosing Change Over Comfort21:30 Conclusion and Call to Action“Be Strong, Stand Up, Speak Your Truth, and Break the Stigma.”Music by Rod Kim-Let's Play-SoundtrackFirstresponderwellness.comMentalHealthNewsRadionetwork.comPositiveconnectionsradio.comMcLintockcounseling.comhttp://www.youtube.com/@HALTandCallforBackup

For another informative topic on You And The Law Podcast, with my guest, Joe Swanson, a Former Police Officer and tactical wellness speaker. Law enforcement is recognized as a dangerous profession in comparison to a typical civilian job. However, the cause of many LEO fatalities may be surprising. Multiple studies have proposed that more law enforcement officers die from suicide than from any other fatal incidents that occur in the line of duty. Join my guest and me, and we will unpack what is tactical wellness training. is there a holistic approach to well-being for first responders?

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton confront one of the most urgent and heartbreaking issues in the first responder community — the silent suicide epidemic (Amazon Affiiate). Police officers, firefighters, EMS professionals, dispatchers, corrections officers, and veterans are dying by suicide at rates that outpace line-of-duty deaths. And yet, the warning signs often go unnoticed, minimized, or misunderstood — not because people don't care, but because responders are experts at hiding their pain. This episode shines a direct light on the red flags, the root causes, and the actionable steps that can save lives before it's too late.

I would love to hear how this episode impacted you.In this empowering episode of Shields Down, we dive deep into the role of fear in the lives of first responders and explore how to face it with faith and fortitude.

In Round 100 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, transition can feel overwhelming for military veterans and first responders because the world outside the uniform often presents more choices than clarity. This episode explores how choice overload affects service members, police officers, firefighters, EMS professionals, soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen as they prepare for life after service. The story that unfolds is one many experience but rarely discuss, the fear of choosing wrong, the pressure to explore everything, and the uncertainty that grows when direction is missing.You'll hear how transition becomes easier when you narrow your focus, build identity intentionally, and match your preparation to the stage of your career. Instead of chasing every possible path, this episode shows why clarity and structure create the confidence needed to move forward with purpose.Transition Group Breakdown• Close Range Group (transitioning immediately to one year): Choose one or two career lanes to explore deeply; this helps reduce overwhelm and supports decisive movement during a critical window.• Medium Range Group (transitioning in roughly five years): Build depth in your professional identity and create early positioning; these actions give you stronger options and more confidence when transition becomes real.• Long Range Group (transitioning in ten or more years): Develop curiosity and foundational habits that strengthen long term readiness; this ensures your identity and skills evolve in ways that support future transition rather than threaten it.This episode guides you through the reality many military veterans and first responders face, a future filled with options that can either paralyze progress or strengthen direction. The goal is simple, help you build clarity so your next chapter isn't defined by uncertainty, but by deliberate movement toward a meaningful life after service.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service.

Send us a textA culture that actually protects first responders doesn't happen by accident—it's built on day-one expectations, family inclusion, and leaders who tell the truth even when the news is hard. We sit down with Doug Wyman to map what real organizational wellness looks like and why “Inside the Box” has become a powerful framework for shifting identity, policy, and practice in policing.We start where most programs fail: leaving wellness to HR or EAP and forgetting families. Doug explains how to onboard spouses and partners with the same care we give new hires, and why a 10–15 minute decompression ritual at the door can prevent years of resentment at home. From there, we dig into the mentorship pipeline—how great FTOs set career goals, normalize therapy, and keep officers engaged long after field training. As rank rises, the view widens; without peer networks and rank-specific training, command staff unintentionally import narrow worldviews into complex events like suicide, deepening stigma and pain.The episode unpacks procedural justice for the inside of the house—dignity, voice, clear motives, and follow-through—to counter “administration betrayal.” We name the Man Box and the Cop Box, exploring how rigid ideals make therapy, medication, or simple human tenderness feel like violations. Doug shows how emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and the Four Agreements become everyday tools that change culture one conversation at a time. And we get practical: field officers should carry the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, because at 3 a.m. on a bridge you need the right questions, not another search tab.If you lead, supervise, dispatch, or love a first responder, this conversation offers a blueprint you can use tomorrow—family education, mentorship, internal fairness, and tools that save lives.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dive into one of the most personal and often unspoken aspects of first responder life: faith (Amazon Affiliate). For some officers, firefighters, dispatchers, and medics, the job pulls them closer to God — prompting prayer on the drive to a call, gratitude after a near miss, or a deeper sense of purpose in serving others. For others, witnessing tragedy, injustice, and unanswered suffering pushes them away from faith. They wrestle with doubt, anger, or the painful question: "How could a good God allow this?" This episode explores why the same experiences can pull responders in opposite spiritual directions — and how to navigate your own faith journey when trauma, grief, and darkness are part of the job.

Hosts: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer In this episode, Jennifer and Ashlee break down the basics of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy and why it’s a powerful tool, particularly for first responders. Key Topics & Highlights Myth-Busting Therapy: Ashlee and Jennifer tackle common misconceptions about therapy, especially among first responders, who may expect only “talking about feelings” or the classic “comfy couch” setup. What is EMDR?: Explanation of EMDR, how it uses eye movements, tapping, and auditory cues to help the brain naturally process traumatic experiences. Why EMDR is effective?: EMDR mimics REM sleep and helps reconnect mind and body after stress and trauma. Why First Responders Like EMDR: Less talking, more structure, and a focus on physical reactions make it a good fit for those who may be hesitant about traditional therapy. Real-World Therapist Perspective: Jennifer and Ashlee share firsthand experiences, the importance of finding a good fit in therapy, and reassurance that it’s normal to need different approaches. Take Action: Consider researching EMDR from trusted sources. Check out our earlier episode (Brain Insights For High-Stress Lives!) with Dr. Coyt for a deeper look at how the brain processes stress. Final Thoughts: Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. EMDR offers hope and healing, especially for those in high-stress jobs.   For questions or more info, reach out to the hosts, and remember: When the call hits home, Jennifer and Ashlee are here for you.   Thank you for tuning in!

Ever watch a simple contact spiral because someone felt disrespected? We sat down with Ofc. Jorge Lopez, a 30-year officer and veteran trainer, to unpack why ego flares so fast on the street and how to keep decisions anchored in reason, law, and outcome. Jorge doesn't preach clichés—he maps the psychology. Using Freud's id–ego–superego as a field-ready model, he shows how the “horse” (id) wants instant gratification, the “reins” (superego) tug toward ideals, and the “rider” (ego) has to steer under stress. When a “snake on the trail” appears—insults, defiance, a sudden kick—officers feel before they think. The trick is noticing the spike and buying time.We break down the limbic system and amygdala's threat signals versus the prefrontal cortex where law, policy, and judgment live. Anger is fast, fear is loud, and love—duty to protect—often proves stronger than both. George offers practical tools: the RULER method to recognize, label, and regulate emotions; the Johari Window to reveal blind spots that only emerge under heat; and his Four C's—Camera, Communicate, Contact, Control—to structure every interaction. Add his favorite formula—Distance + Cover = Time—and you get a simple path to safer, smarter choices that hold up in court and on camera.We also challenge the illusion of control. Crowds can't be commanded into calm; you monitor potential threats while solving the actual problem. Talk more, force less. Competence breeds calm, and the best fighters rarely need to prove it. You'll hear how internal scripts—It's not personal; Don't take the bait; Is this worth my career?—help officers steer back to thinking. And beyond tactics, we talk identity: building a life outside the badge so the job doesn't own you.If you're a cop, trainer, or curious citizen, this conversation delivers actionable mindset, emotional intelligence, scenario training insights, and street-proven frameworks to reduce unnecessary force and improve outcomes.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton break down one of the toughest seasons for police, fire, EMS, and dispatch — the holidays.

Veterans and First Responders, civilian transition can be an identity crisis. Jiu Jitsu helped her find her purpose.In Episode 224 of the Transition Drill Podcast, what happens when you've already lived out your dream career but are forced to walk away from it. For many first responders and military members, transition is not a clean break, it's an identity crisis. In this episode, former San Diego Police Officer Kristi Miedecke opens up about the hardest fight she ever faced. It didn't happen in uniform, it happened at home.Kristi grew up in a law enforcement family, earned her badge with grit, and loved the job. But when she became a mother while married to another cop, the math stopped working. Two young kids, opposite shifts, no real sleep, and a quiet question started chasing her. Can you be fully present for your family and still be fully committed to the badge. Kristi made the choice to leave the department, but she didn't expect the silence that followed. No radio traffic, no partners, no roll calls, and no identity. That silence led to postpartum depression, anxiety, isolation, and the painful admission that she felt like she didn't know who she was anymore.What followed is powerful. Therapy. Grad school. Discovery of jiu jitsu as a form of grounding and healing. The creation of Gates to Healing, an equine therapy program built for first responders and military veterans fighting trauma, anxiety, and loss of identity. Kristi didn't just rebuild her life. She rebuilt her purpose.This conversation is for any firefighter, police officer, medic, veteran, or service member asking the tough questions: What if the uniform is gone. What if I don't know who I am anymore. And what does it really take to move forward. If you're in transition, or might be someday, this episode is proof that your purpose can evolve and your mission is far from over.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service.

Join us for a deeply moving conversation with Sarah Lustig, Founder and Nurse Director of Hoofprints in the Sand, as she introduces the powerful new HITS Club. This naturalistic, experiential equine facility is offering a unique path to healing for our veterans, first responders, and their families right here in the Lowcountry. Located on a serene 18-acre property within the expansive Francis Marion Park, HITS Club offers a safe haven from the interruptions of daily life. The facility is much more than a clinical setting; it's a therapeutic retreat featuring walking, biking, and hiking trails, a pond, gardening areas, wildlife observation, and social spaces like barbecue and fire pits. It is truly a place for colleagues and comrades to reconnect and overcome trauma symptoms. The program has two membership levels: Level 1: Recreation & Wellness This level is perfect for the whole family, focusing on recreational activities and therapeutic healing through leisurely enjoyment of the facility and observing the herd. Level 2: Equine-Assisted Therapy & Horsemanship This includes all Level 1 benefits, plus direct, one-on-one introduction to equine-assisted therapy, horsemanship, and husbandry skills. Using evidence-based therapies, this intensive 16-to-32-week program specifically targets the mental and physical consequences of PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). After achieving their goals and demonstrating high efficacy, members can even learn to ride horses and teach lessons! Hoofprints in the Sand is making history as the first facility of its kind on the East Coast to be credentialed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, a mission strongly supported by Congresswoman Nancy Mace. They are working hard to prove animal-assisted therapy is a highly effective, non-traditional approach. Listen now to learn more about the critical work Sarah and her team are doing to ensure those who serve us receive the best care—and find out how you can help them continue providing care for veterans who cannot afford it.

Send us a textThe story begins where many first responder lives converge: relentless calls, court dates, and a small department that never truly sleeps. Then the personal hits. Former New Hampshire police chief Doug Wyman opens up about parenting through a son's addiction at the height of the opioid crisis, supporting a younger child through identity shifts, and the morning that changed everything—when his wife died by suicide with his duty weapon. What follows is a rare, unguarded look at procedure meeting grief, and how systems can protect evidence while still protecting people.We walk through what real support looks like after the casseroles stop—peer teams that actually call, clergy who listen more than they preach, and a therapist with true cultural competency. Doug explains why a mind body spirit triangle isn't fluff; it's the backbone of resilience for first responders and families. Spirituality here is practical, not preachy—whether you find it in church, Stoicism, or a clear atheist ethic. Acceptance becomes the turning point. It's not agreement. It's the doorway to choose constructive over destructive, to convert pain into purpose, and to build post-traumatic growth one small habit at a time.We also dig into the cognitive traps that keep people stuck on if and the simple language checks that interrupt self-blame. From there, the focus widens to culture. Strong wellness programs don't live in binders; they live in people. Informal leaders—the ones who can get fifteen colleagues to show up on a Saturday—are the engine. When departments design with those influencers, recruitment and retention rise, and the holdouts become a minority. If you want a team to thrive, build a house you're proud to invite others into.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a teammate who needs it, and leave a review so more first responders and families can find these tools. And if you or someone you love is in crisis, call 988 right now. You're not alone.Go to Doug's LinkedIn website at:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglas-wyman-6b80852a/details/featured/The Class Inside the Box - Focuses on Organizational Wellness and Post Traumatic growth and is for first line supervisors and command staff. Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Send us a textAs we continue the conversation with Lisa, Trusas. Stigma is a quiet siren—it keeps people from asking for help, and it teaches the rest of us to look away. We open up about what addiction really looks like inside emergency services and at home, from dispatch centers and correctional facilities to ERs and patrol rooms. We talk about growing up in households where chaos felt normal, why “functioning alcoholic” gets a pass while heroin use gets a scarlet letter, and how the words we choose either build bridges or burn them.You'll hear how one honest admission inside a department transformed the room: jokes faded, questions surfaced, and colleagues started asking how to help their loved ones. We unpack the trap of “it's legal, so it's fine,” whether it's alcohol, vaping, benzos, or 3 a.m. sports betting. We also dig into the system-level barriers—insurance limits, AMA discharges, closed youth detox beds—that make recovery harder than it needs to be. And we highlight practical steps anyone can take: use person-first language, speak privately when you're worried, leverage peer-to-peer centers, and know the basics of getting someone into detox or a civil commitment when it's the safest option.Addiction doesn't care about uniforms or titles. It shows up as compulsion, secrecy, and a deep fear of being seen. Recovery shows up as patience, multiple tries, and small moments of courage—the text that arrives months later, the hand held at the right time, the story that makes someone feel less alone. If you're ready to trade labels for listening and shame for support, this conversation offers tools, perspective, and hope. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more people find real help without the noise.Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

From a U. S. Army Combat Veteran Mindset to Tractor Supply Leadership: Building Teams, Safety, and Continuous Improvement This week, Marcus and Melanie welcome Rodney Bailey, a devoted husband, father, and decorated U.S. Army combat veteran whose leadership has been shaped by four combat tours and distinguished honors, including the Purple Heart and Meritorious Service Medal. He now applies that mission-driven discipline at Tractor Supply Company, where he leads operations and continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen safety, streamline performance, and unlock millions in new production capacity. A Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Human Performance Advocate, Rodney is committed to developing leaders and building teams who pursue excellence with pride and purpose. A lifelong learner who embraces challenge, he is currently earning his Doctorate in Business with a focus on Strategy and Innovation. Through it all, he remains anchored in faith, family, and service—values that also inspired his children's book, God Is Bigger Than a Bear. A National Impact Rooted in Community Marcus and Melanie also welcome Lindsay Grayson, who serves as the Chief Revenue Officer at K9s For Warriors, overseeing the Development and Marketing teams as she drives brand visibility, deepens donor engagement, and accelerates revenue growth for the nation's largest provider of trained service dogs for military veterans. Since joining the organization, Lindsay has reshaped its fundraising trajectory—boosting revenue by 70% in her first year and leading K9s For Warriors to a historic, record-setting year of giving in 2023. Her performance and impact earned her recognition as a Jacksonville Business Journal Women of Influence honoree. Prior to her nonprofit leadership career, Lindsay worked as a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch, guiding clients through strategic planning and long-term financial goals. A Jacksonville native and proud spouse of an Air Force veteran and First Responder, she finds joy in family time, travel, live music, and cheering on her children, Lucas and Ebby. In This Episode You Will Hear: • At redeployment, something happened to me. During Ramadi, they started really looking at traumatic brain injuries. They started putting sensors in the helmets. (30:34) • If you didn't lose a liter of blood or you're not missing a body part, it's Ibuprofen & water. (30:54) • When I got back and they hooked up my helmet, and they're like: “something's up.” (31:02) • At 31:10, Rodney tells of one of his traumatic brain injury events as a 50 cal gunner. [He hit the gun at 20mph. It was the only thing that kept him from being thrown from the vehicle. • I did about 5 months in another deployment and was Medivacked out to Germany with another head injury. (32:29) • It wasn't like I had to learn to walk again. I had to learn how to walk straight. (33:35) • You know that you have to wait for that 30, 45 to 90 second, depending on what kind of round it is. And then you hear the sound – “Here it is.” You gotta run, just hoping that it doesn't hit you. (36:05) • There's beauty in some fights. (38:33) • Sometimes there's like a calm and pause in war. (42:35) • If you're gonna transition from the military, I think there's some things that are grounded in you – core beliefs, values, and everything like that. (49:26) • At Tractor Supply, one of the things that brought me to it is the core missions and values. (49:46) • 10% of all people who work for Tractor Supply are veterans. (50:46) • This was the first company that actually told me, “Hey, go home and spend time with your family.” (51:13) • [Lindsay] Tractor [Supply} has helped put mor leashes in the hands of veterans, and they really believe in our mission. (54:51) • Lindsay shares how veterans go about applying for a canine from CaninesforWarriors.org. (55:31) • [Marcus] We're conditioned to come in – we're not conditioned to get out. (57:31) • The only thing that's gonna stop you, is you. (70:32) • Sometimes you're dealt with cards, but you're writing the book of your life.
