    Ep 116: Sabrina Cognata

    We're back with another serious injury episode. Sabrina Cognata is a writer and producer who has survived multiple traumatic events, including: falling off of the roof as a kid, being held hostage by a neighbor after a hail of gunfire as a kid, & nearly dying in a car wreck that broke her neck. She tells us how a traumatic brain injury changed her personality & beating death shaped her decisions after the accident. We learn how trauma can start to feel normal to you. Whats it like finding out you were as close to being paralyzed as possible? Being nearly scalped going thru the windshield, having to recover for months at home, & then being determined to live life as hard as you can. Sabrina is super honest & funny & there are more shootings, trips to jail, drugs, car crashes & legal advice in this episode.

    EP 115: LA County Unleashed: Street Journalism and Stringers

    We're joined by LA street journalist "Storm", the person behind the LA County Unleashed social media accounts providing live video of some of the craziest incidents on the LA streets any given night. We talk about the explosion of 911 incident content on social media, the role of Stringers and street jouranlists who show up to incidents, sometimes before the police arrive, film the incidents and sell the footage to the news stations. We talk about the dangers of showing up as a civilian to crime scenes, sometimes becoming part of the crime scene yourself. How firefighters decide whether or not to enter a dangerous scene without police. How one incident can lead to another, & what makes a person want to drive to dangerous active incidents just to inform their community. Then Storm and Danny recount a wild active shooter incident in Marina Del Rey that they were both on scene for & Storm was shot at multiple times, barely escaping the bullets and saving her dog, all while she was live on social media.

    Ep 112: GRAB LIVES with John Vargas

    We talk to LAFD firefighter, and host of the GRAB LIVES podcast, John Vargas. John goes deep into the holistic approach he takes to a firefighting career, health, and mental health. We talk about the stigma that existed surrounding mental health in the fire department and whats being done to change it. How changes in demographics led to changes in the department and changes in attitudes. John shares how his own injury and recovery path led him to try a different approach and seek the knowledge needed to heal himself. How unresolved stress can manifest itself into different physical ailments. We talk about the effectiveness of different therapies, up to and including Kambo and psychedelics. The ineffectiveness of other options like pushing emotions down, & drinking, & what it takes to admit that you need a change. John is a fascinating guy and really breaks down the physiology of stress and how different theraputic agents work in your body. We also learn what Grab lives means and how it applies to the fireground, and this approach to health. Listen to this & get regualted with us.
