Some listeners come for mental health topics. Others for the importance of fitness and functional training. Then there's the deeper dives in philosophy, service, and the human condition as they affect the psyche of police and first responders. Well, this episode hits all those realms and more.
For probably just as long as I've been running this project, experts and colleagues in the wellness spaces have been talking about my guest, Matt Domyancic. The accolades come from all over geographically, and all over with scope or work and field of study. Listen in and you will quickly understand why - what you will not understand is how deep this man's intellect, acumen, and spiritual awareness goes! The Tactical Chaplain, an absolutely athlete and scholar and I explore topic on ALL things health, effectiveness, biometrics, recovery and the parasympathetic, arterial/heart health all the way over to stress outlets and training, all the way to Jungian psychology, inner child, James Hollis and MORE!
