In this episode, Joel chats with friend and former student employee, Noah Hellmund, about what it's like to be a neurodivergent man working in a high intensity field as a first responder. They talk trauma, grief, personal growth, and storytelling. Joel and Noah discuss how masculinity isn't always about being strong, but rather embracing the suck and doing the right thing even when it may not be the easiest.
