• S1 E19: James Geering's New Book "Kinder"
    Nov 22 2024

    This episode... James Geering is the founder of the Behind the Shield Podcast and is pioneering the way for change in the fire service. In this episode, we uncover the gems in his new book, KINDER. After reading four chapters of this book, my life was never going to be the same. James brought light to what so many of us go through in the fire service. It's a real and raw look into the domino effect this career can have on our lives and the restorative power of my favorite four letter word... HOPE.

    I've interviewed and had many conversations with many people, but no one like James Geering. His drive, passion, and genuine compassion for the men and women in the fire service bleeds through the pages in this book. This book was truly life changing. Ok, I'm done, you guys have got to listen to this one. Also, grab your spouse!!! They need this too!!!
