My guest for Episode #39 of The Wrestle Your Perception Podcast is a U.S. Marine, Desert Storm Veteran, 18 year Veteran of the fire service, and member of the Urban Search and Rescue team.  With his most recent deployment being the Surfside collapse. He is Rob Ortega.  Rob and I cover a lot of ground in this podcast.  We talk about how important it is to have a strong wife while being a public servant, how important camaraderie is for the mental and physical health of firefighters, what we lost and what we gained in the middle of the Covid pandemic and how lucky we were as firemen to be in it, and how putting the needs of others in front of your own makes extraordinary things happen.  Those are just a few of the topics we talked about. I promise you will enjoy this one, I promise you will laugh, and I promise you will learn.  Click the link in the bio to listen to our conversation. Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
