In episode four of the Life After The Fire Podcast, Chris sits down with retired EMS captain Shaun Fix. After spending over 35 years in the fire service, Sean retired and pivoted toward medical training for first responders and doctor's offices. After originally founding the company while still working in the fire service, the company has since grown to over 120 instructors training 20,000 participants per year.
Shaun and Chris then go on to discuss the issue of mental health in the fire service, specifically incidents that are induced by the daily challenges of the job. While the larger incidents are easier to identify as potentially detrimental to mental health, more subtle events may go unchecked and lead to long-term negative effects.
Not only is this podcast perfect for anyone looking to transition into medical training once they retire from their career in the fire service but also for anyone interested in an honest discussion on the topic of mental health in the occupation.
