Focus Through The Fire *Part 2* - Jason Brezler (FDNY) + Jonathan Fader (Psychology)

Apr 25, 2021

In this second part of an extended conversation with two leaders in their respective arenas - with so many takeaways that we had to split the conversation over two separate listens - we call out the old-school BS and jump straight into the real questions about what's most important: does training our mental performance impact our FAMILY? If so, are there things we can do that will help us improve both at work AND in day to day life?

Jason Brezler knows this type of training intimately, not only from his current role as FDNY Lieutenant in the 1st Division of New York City, but also as an officer in the U.S. Marines leading combat operations in Fallujah, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He's joined here by Jonathan Fader, a psychologist who drew on his years of experience with pro sports teams in New York - the Mets (MLB) and the Giants (NFL) - to help shape the FDNY's approach to mental performance. 

**Note - if you haven't listened to Part 1 of this conversation (literally the previous episode of this series) do that first!**
