Hidden Battles Radio Live – Featuring David Sabo: Fitness, Service, and Supporting Our First Responders

On this episode of Hidden Battles Radio Live, Scott is joined in the studio by David Sabo of the a Lakes Region Fire Department, along with representatives from RTNH and the Lakes Region CISM teams, for a powerful and informative discussion focused on the physical and mental wellness of first responders.

David, a combat veteran with 10 years of service as a TACP/JTAC operator in Air Force Special Warfare, shares his unique perspective on the importance of resilience and readiness. While still in uniform, he volunteered as a firefighter in his hometown — a passion that continues today as he serves full-time as a firefighter and AEMT.

The group dives into their initiative to bring customized fitness programming directly to fire and police departments at no cost, helping first responders stay strong and mission-ready. For those seeking a more individualized approach, one-on-one fitness coaching is also available.

In addition to physical fitness, the conversation turns to the critical importance of regular mental health check-ups — breaking the stigma and encouraging first responders to treat mental wellness with the same urgency as physical health.
