In this episode, we sit down with Ray Schufford, retired Dallas Fire Department veteran of 27 years, and the force behind his organization "2 The Next Shift." Ray travels nationwide, shedding light on the day-to-day challenges first responders face. He also gives us a glimpse into his 6th upcoming book, "So You Really Want to Be a First Responder," offering a blueprint for those entering the field.
Ray stresses the public's limited awareness of the struggles faced by first responders, advocating for a shift toward proactive mental health care. The episode dives into Ray's impactful experiences, including his best and worst days on the job, and the lives he’s changed through faith.
The episode concludes with Ray's reflections on aging and the clarity that experience brings, encapsulated by his poignant statement, "Everyone's a hero just waiting to be unmasked."
