In this episode, we sit down with Skip O, a retired professional firefighter from Anderson, Indiana, and the host of the Burnt O-U-T Podcast. With 33 years of service, Skip brings a wealth of experience and insight into the challenges faced by frontline workers. His journey is marked by significant personal and professional trials, including battling alcoholism, drug addiction, and suicidal ideation, undergoing treatment at multiple centers, and surviving a heart attack at 34 years old. Sober since February 2000, Skip's story is one of resilience, recovery, and dedication to giving back to the community.

During this episode, Skip shares his powerful experiences, the origin and purpose of the Burnt O-U-T Podcast, and he offers invaluable insights for department leaders on supporting the mental and behavioral health of their personnel. This episode underscores the critical importance of community and support systems in maintaining well-being for those on the front lines.
