Ep. 100: The Power of Choice and Community w/ Scott Howell, Iron Sights Podcast

Blue Grit Radio : the podcast to build better police through mindset and wellness

Episode 100! Where has the time gone..?? With this, I bring you a very special guest, Scott Howell- multi-discipline trainer, gym owner, and advocate of not only first responders, but public safety.

Blue Grit Wellness (and Radio) started through promoting themes of health, mindset, and community. My conversation and connection with Scott was refreshing and very much in line with those pillars.

We talk about where healthy body and mindset intersect with public safety, public health crises, fear, ownership, and community. We cover some controversial topics- to include where cops and leaders fail through disregarding their opportunity of choice and discretion.

Listeners will recognize that is discomfort is the space in which we grow and elevate as individuals and as a whole. We talk about how one can hone a mindset that truly builds team and culture.
