Our goal is to bring the greatest minds in wellness to the men and women who serve our communities.
The Behind the Shield Podcast brings the greatest minds in physical and mental wellness to the first responders, military and medical professionals of the world. I started it after going to a host of first responder funerals. After witnessing these preventable deaths, I knew that there were solutions out there that would apply to everyone.
The guests are wide ranging, from strength and conditioning coaches to psychologists, doctors to special operators, firefighters to paramedics. The topics range from hard hitting mental health stories to neuroscience, stories of survival to healing journies from people around the globe.
With over 950 episodes and 6 Million downloads to date, Behind the Shield is the most downloaded firefighter wellness podcast on the planet.
The host, James Geering, is a former firefighter, stuntman and Exercise Physiology graduate. Originally from England, James moved to the US in 2002 and spent 14 years as a firefighter and paramedic, serving on both the East and West coasts.
He is also the author of “One More Light: Life, Death and Humanity Through the Eyes of a Firefighter” and his upcoming book “Kinder”.
