In this heartfelt episode, Fireman Rob speaks with Chris Schmidt, a passionate advocate for mental health and physical well-being. Chris opens up about his personal journey through injury, pain, and the decision to undergo joint replacement. But his story goes far beyond the physical—he dives into the emotional toll of chronic pain, the isolation it can create, and how vulnerability and movement became powerful tools for healing.

Together, they explore the importance of checking in on others, the mental battle of recovery, and how small steps—both physical and emotional—can create major life shifts. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating life after injury or supporting someone who is.
