Richard Ott joins the chat to talk about wearing glasses, getting older, and fighting fires as a mild-mannered office worker.

Currently, Richard works as a Compliance Officer, Privacy Officer, Risk Manager, and Safety Officer for The Portland Clinic. In addition, for more than a decade, in his off-work time, he also volunteered as a firefighter/EMT and saw firsthand the pernicious impacts mental health and addiction related issues have had on individuals, families and communities.
