188. Behind The Shield: Why Suicide Is So High For First Responders? The Importance of Sleep & How To Thrive - James Geering


Listen Later

Blessed to have James Geering on the show today. He's the author of One More Light, and host of The Behind the Shield Podcast which brings the greatest minds in mental and physical wellness to the world's first responders, military, medics, and beyond.

Jame was a firefighter for over 14 years before transitioning into a full-time podcast host and writer, where he's interviewed over 600 guests on his show. He's had some of the greatest minds in the health and wellness world as well as some top-caliber first responders who are doing something different and showing it is possible to thrive in such difficult conditions.

I'm excited to have him on to share his story, why he wrote his book, which tells only the tales that a first responder would know, and how he's thriving in his life after firefighting and living the highest version of himself.
