In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Dan Dworkis — emergency physician, Chief Medical Officer at the Mission Critical Team Institute, and founder of The Emergency Mind Project — for a powerful conversation on how mission-critical teams like firefighters and first responders can perform under pressure, recover effectively, and grow with intention. We dive into why emergencies often go wrong, the mental residue of high-stress calls, and how to balance service with self-care. From building stronger team dynamics to having better conversations with ourselves and our families, this episode offers real tools for those who operate in high-stakes environments and want to do it well — without burning out.
