    Episode 154: Angels and Demons with Dennis Pishock

    In todays episode we return to the life and lessons surrounding first responders. I can think of noone better than todays guest, Dennis Pishock. He is a 24 year veteran in Law Enforcement, Firefighting, Swift Water Rescue, EMT-I, and Peer Support. He hold's rank in multiple martial arts, defensive tactics & combatives. He holds certifications in all aspects of public safety, including SPEAR Instructor, Defensive Tactics Instructor, Peer Support Counselor, Hostage Negotiator, EMT-I, and Swift Water Technician. Dennis also is the author of “Demons and Angels”, a book about Trauma, Peer Support and how to care for yourself while in a career in public safety. Dennis ran his own martial arts school for 17 years and has always demonstrated an uncanny ability to motivate employees and to lead teams through high stress situations. I hope that the topics discuss add perspective to the people who operate under the immense stress daily and help to keep our communitys safe. I have often spoke out about the importance of our Law Enforcement Officers training in defensive tactics and relying on physical fitness to power through the obstacles in life. Dennis embodies the exact characteristics we need to ripple though our LEO's.
