Have you wondered if there is a better shift schedule? One that potentially doesn’t jeopardize your health or wellbeing? Or maybe you’re frustrated by the “golden handcuff” narrative?

This week’s Firefighter Craftsmanship podcast features James Geering from Behind the Shield Podcast and he brings the HEAT about emergency responder health, shift schedules, not believing our own lies and speaks about his journey transitioning out of the fire service to pursue other options. It’s a fantastic thought provoking convo. Check it out here.​

In this episode we cover:

  • Reframing shift work and explore the 24/72 with a deep dive on how this might actually save money
  • Things we can do as emergency responders to empower ourselves and take control of our wellbeing
  • We challenge the golden handcuffs of emergency services and take a different perspective for those who might be considering other options
