In this dynamic episode, join us as we sit down with Jim Burneka and Nick Magoteaux, the dynamic duo behind the Firefighter Health & Wellness Conference. From raw, personal stories to powerful insights about mental health, these two are on a mission to help first responders navigate the often-overlooked challenges they face.
We'll dive into their unique conference setup—they’ve had a wrestling ring on stage!—and explore the evolution of support for firefighters impacting everything from cancer awareness to thriving in retirement. Tune in and discover the brotherhood that’s changing lives, one conversation at a time.
