Thank you to Wes for joining T.O.C.'s podcast once again. Wes is a United States Air Force Veteran and Fire Fighter, who founded WeBUS.

WeBUS is a community of like-minded dads from across the country who come together to share experiences and support one another through life's challenges. Founded by Wes Piatt, who personally understands the struggles of dealing with childhood trauma, military service, and first responder stress, WeBUS is a beacon of hope and camaraderie.

Instead of offering unsolicited advice, WeBUS DUDES share their personal experiences. This approach ensures that members receive genuine wisdom from those who have walked similar paths, free from the often unhelpful "bro advice" that can be so prevalent. By sharing stories and experiences, we empower each other to navigate life's rough seas and curate the tools and insights that resonate most with our individual journeys.

An absolute honor to have Jared and Daniel on the podcast to break down the Beautifully Broken Documentary. This is focused on the unfortunate death by suicide of Jared's father on March 12, 2013, who was a veteran Police Officer.

The documentary follows Jared along his ultra-marathon where he wore a photo of his father on the front of his shirt through the duration.

If you're looking to host Jared and Daniel to travel to your department, military unit, college campus, etc., you can reach out to them and schedule a screening.

Took about three years to finally get D.D. Finder on the podcast to talk about the behind the scenes life as a flight nurse and authoring two books. D.D. Finder is a former Flight and ICU Nurse, EMT-Basic, and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer who has worked in healthcare for over 20 years. He has been awarded several nursing awards for his excellence in patient care. His deep respect for first responders and nurses drives him to publish novels showcasing their intelligence, dedication, sacrifice, and compassion. He lives with his wife in Colorado and still works as an RN.

D.D. is giving back to the community by donating proceeds to T.O.C. and two other non-profit organizations helping our first responder community.

Check out 'Ready Left, Ready Right', which can be purchased on Amazon. May 18, 2026, 'Two Minutes Out', will be live and available!

This episode flew by and it was a pleasure having D.D. on the podcast.

Thank you to Sgt. Lacey Nelson for taking the time to join The Overwatch Collective Podcast to share her experience in Law Enforcement and discuss mental health amongst our community.

Tune in to this episode to learn about her time in Juvenile Hall, Corrections, Patrol, and becoming a supervisor. Lacey does a great job of breaking down the importance of noticing the signs of a member struggling from a supervisor standpoint, which isn't discussed nearly enough.

Thank you again Lacey and hope everyone enjoys this episode.

David Edwards shares his journey from personal tragedy to leading mental health initiatives for first responders. We discuss the importance of resilience, peer support, and proactive mental health strategies to reduce suicide rates among first responders.

The Call For Backup Suicide Awareness and Prevention Campaign is built upon the principle that peers are best suited to help one another. The stigma of seeking help for stress-related issues, and departments’ seeming lack of support, have caused many first responders to continue to suffer needlessly.

Got to https://callforbackup.org/ to learn more!

A huge thank you to our podcast sponsor Brain Performance Technologies.
