Self Care and Why it Makes You a Better First Responder with Garrett TeSlaa

Shift work ain’t easy. We all tend to succumb to less than healthy habits. Add on a decade and suddenly you may be looking, acting, and feeling like someone you no longer recognize.

Fear not, though, there are strategies to regain the person you once were and today’s guest isn’t afraid to talk about them…even if you’re initially uncomfortable with them. Garrett Teslaa joins the show to discuss his podcast The Squad Room.

The guys talk about Garrett’s desire to “Be the One” and expand law enforcement and military physical, emotional, mental, environmental and occupational health. He expands on successful advice from his guests and experience in law enforcement, giving you the tips you need to be successful in your career.

Topics in today’s episode include:

The role of millennials in the future of first responder careers.
How can those with less seniority positively impact the veteran who’s burnt out and needs help?
How to deal with toxicity in your agency.
Is there hope for the future of law enforcement given today’s societal perspective?
