In this week's episode, we are joined by Captian Ben Vernon of San Diego City Fire. During a routine medical call, Ben and one of his fellow firefighters found themselves fighting for their lives and wound up getting stabbed multiple times. Ben takes us through that harrowing experience and then details how it dramatically changed his life, almost ending it. This riveting episode contains graphic descriptions of violence and some profanity, so if you are sensitive to that type of content, listener discretion is advised.
Big thank you to My Epic and Facedown Records for the use of their song "Hail" in our podcast!
