#108 After Dark - Let's TOC Struggling In Silence: Willing To Die For Another Heavy Call w/ Travis Gribble & Greg Grogan

Welcome back to the Iron Sights podcast where Travis Gribble of My Arena and Greg Grogan of The Overwatch Collective are joining me for an in depth discussion around some pretty serious topics. The focus of today's discussion revolves around an impactful presentation both Greg and Travis delivered to the first responder and military community titled "Be Here Tomorrow."Travis, with 24 years as a law enforcement officer, including significant time on a tier one SWAT team and leading that team, shares his experiences. These aren't just heroic tales; they dive into the darker moments, incidents that are a severe reality of the profession. I must warn you, these stories are intense and may be disturbing to some listeners, but they serve a purpose...The heart of the matter is mental health and wellness among first responders and military personnel, ultimately addressing suicide prevention. Travis's journey and the stories he recounts shed light on why he is committed to the impactful work he does today.This episode is not just a conversation; it's a call to action.Episode Sponsor:BioProtein Technology: https://bioproteintech.com/For $30 off your order use code "IRONSIGHTS" at checkout.BioPro+ can potentially help to improve balance hormones, increase sex drive, improves insulin sensitivity, and produce increases of mitochondria and nucleic acids to create a total system modulator.
