In this special episode, "After the Tones Drop" is delighted to feature  Episode 008: Time to go Home  from Operation Yellow Tape Podcast, hosted by the exceptionally articulate Kenny Mitchell.  Kenny challenges first responders to prioritize action over excuses, emphasizing that if first responders are still suffering, no excuse is valid. Kenny, known for both his potent advocacy and his tech tips (he even taught our hosts a few iPhone tricks!), delivers invaluable guidance on how first responders can transition from work to home life effectively.

This episode dives deep into the often overlooked aspect of first responder life—returning home. Kenny discusses the importance of learning this critical skill and teaching their families to support their return. He offers practical advice, to communicate the day's challenges without burdening loved ones with too much detail. This method helps manage expectations and maintain family relationships after tough shifts.

Kenny's insights are a gift to our community, teaching us to help you navigate safely not just on the job but also in personal interactions with those who care about you most. Tune in to learn from Kenny Mitchell, who brings a wealth of knowledge and empathy to the vital topic of homecoming for first responders.
