In this deeply personal episode of The Iron Rangers Podcast, the Rangers respond to the recent loss of a fellow small business owner—a tragedy that has shaken our community and brought to light the heavy burdens many of us carry in silence.

Steve and Chris open up about their own mental health struggles—PTSD, panic attacks, depression, substance abuse, and anxiety—and what it feels like to constantly navigate the roles of father, husband, business owner, and community member. While they are not mental health professionals, they discuss some of the tools and approaches that have helped them cope and keep moving forward.
