Are you wondering if you’re still making a difference as a first responder or other frontline professional? Join me as I sit down with Mike Baldwin, a 20+ year veteran first responder as he shares how to know you’re making a difference.

What does it take to maintain humanity and empathy as a first responder?

Many first responders reach a point in their career when it seems like they’re on a big merry-go-round, same things over and over, without making much of an impact.

Listen as Mike shares stories that reveal the intense challenges of the job—from high-speed pursuits to heartbreaking cases—and how he has managed to maintain his integrity and compassion throughout his career and realize we’re making more of a difference than we think. 

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER: 

• Insights into handling high-pressure situations with courage and decisiveness.
• The emotional impact of being a first responder and how to manage it effectively.
• You are making more of a difference than you think.

Whether you're in law enforcement or any other high-stakes profession, Mike's experiences and advice are invaluable.
