I found Jason's social media and it resonated with me- how he talked about mindset, ownership, and the importance of fitness for first responders. He spoke about the sometimes uncomfortable truth that we in emergency services have trouble recognizing in ourselves and our peers:
Many first responders are unfit (double entendre there) to actually perform their jobs to the level we ought to be able to do. He said something at his workplace as a medic which someone found offensive, which led to his termination.
We've talked about obesity in cops and other first responders on this show before, with guests like Rod Wisser and Joe Gamaldi- and we've talked about fitness and nutrition a host of times. It is often much more nuanced than that. Conversations like these aren't meant to tell people to push people out, rather LIFT THEM UP. We need great first responders, and physical ability is a non-negotiable. Think about those who are helpless in the most dire of situations, and there is isn't much more to discuss. Time to take ownership of yourself, with grace and positivity, and let's GO.
In our conversation, Jason shares about not only his battles with adversity and trauma in and out of the job, but his own struggle with obesity as a first responder. It goes beyond the physical, as we explore strengthening mental fortitude for a meaningful and purpose-driven life.
