Fostering Strength and Solace: One Officer's Mission for First Responders

What’s Your Emergency

Let me introduce you to Garrett TeSlaa, one of our favorite guests, and host of his own podcast, The Squad Room. Garrett is up to something awesome - he's partnering with Man Uncivilized to lead an amazing retreat in November in South Park, CO.
Yes. THAT South Park.
Designed specifically for first responders and veterans, this retreat aims to provide a healing space. It's fascinating how Garrett tackles the issue of loneliness within the first responder community through retreats and introspection. He also enlightens us about the "Badges" model and how mindfulness techniques can help induce needed transformation.
From serious discussions, we shift gears to engage in some light-hearted banter. Garrett shares some delightful experiences about his recent trips to concerts and sporting events, his current reads, and even recommendations for our next binge-watch. In addition, we catch up with our Australian pal, Jeff, and share his visit to Alcatraz and a movie recommendation. It's an episode filled with wholesome insights, laughter and camaraderie, celebrating the resilience of our first responders and veterans. So, tune in for this enriching journey where we mix entertainment and inspiration in equal measure.
