James Geering is a firefighter, professional stuntman, published author and host of the Behind the Shield Podcast. James has been in the fire service on both coasts of the United States and shares his incredible story about how he was driven to become a firefighter from an early age – and it provokes some reflection in Garrett about a formative event in his childhood that he shares on the show.
In this episode you’ll learn about:
- James’ mission to bring wellness and self-care to first responders after burying 6 of his friends due to duty-related illnesses.
- Why James thinks that drug decriminalization may be the way to solve many of our problems.
- How a doctor misdiagnosed James with a medical condition that prevented him from becoming a firefighter in his homeland of England.
