TACO TUESDAY!  Take Action Crush Obstacles! Today on The Warrior Servant Leader Podcast, I sit down with a man who is using storytelling, leadership, and hard conversations to help save lives behind the badge and beyond it. Conrad Weaver is a mission-driven filmmaker, entrepreneur, speaker, and advocate for first responder wellness. As President and CEO of First Responder Wellness Solutions and founder of Conjo Studios, Conrad has dedicated his career to creating awareness, driving cultural change, and equipping leaders with practical tools to build healthier, more resilient organizations. Conrad is the creator and producer of the award-winning documentary PTSD911 — a powerful film that has sparked critical conversations nationwide about trauma, mental health, and sustainable performance in public safety professions. The film asks a sobering question: “First responders sign up to serve; they risk their lives and mental health responding to someone else’s worst day. Who rescues them?” What is the secret to taking care of your people? In this conversation, we discuss: • Leadership in trauma-exposed professions • The silent cost of unresolved stress and PTSD • Building agency cultures rooted in trust and wellness • Why storytelling changes hearts faster than policy ever will • How resilient leaders create resilient teams Conrad also hosts the First Responder Wellness Podcast, where he interviews respected leaders from law enforcement, fire, EMS, clinical practice, and leadership development to uncover practical strategies that improve both people and organizations. As a certified member of the John Maxwell Team, Conrad brings a unique blend of leadership development, media production, wellness advocacy, and real-world experience to the public safety space. His work has earned national recognition, including: • 2025 Best Director – Documentary, New York Film & Cinematography Awards • 2025 Best Documentary – Impact Docs! Awards • 2024 Best Documentary – Maryland International Film Festival • Mid-America Regional EMMY® Award Winner for Great American Wheat Harvest This is more than a podcast episode. It is a conversation about leadership, service, survival, and the responsibility we have to take care of those who spend their lives taking care of others.
