Within Thin Lines
by WTLpodcast Directors and Cadre
We are the WTL podcast, “Where Training Leads.”Our philosophy here is that excellences is all of our own individual responsibilities. And that responsibility starts Within the Thin Line communities. We thrive to provide our members a place at our table, just like at the firehouse, where they can solve all the worlds problems; share their stories, reflect on experiences, learn from and educate one another, and most importantly, understand the need for mental and physical strength conditioning. We provide a safe haven for members to know that it’s okay to not be okay, and that some of the best support they can find is from their very own brothers and sisters of their communities. We are a veteran owned; Firefighter, Medic, LEO/Nurse hosted podcast organization, accredited to provide educational training events and self reflections as we are witnessed to “have the conversations nobody wants to have, but need to have.”Welcome to the WTL podcast, grab a seat, enjoy your stay.
