In this episode of Responder Resilience's Visionary Leaders Masterclass, Fire Chief Nick Marsan from Westport, CT, shares his mantra: “Mission First, People Always.” This phrase isn’t just a slogan; it’s a guiding principle that can reshape leadership in the fire service.

We explore the critical intersection of leadership and mental health, discussing how to make mental wellness a core operational value. What daily actions must command staff take to foster this mindset? How can we create a culture that normalizes mental health discussions and encourages first responders to seek help?

This episode is a crucial call to action for leaders, emphasizing the need to prioritize people in our mission. Tune in to learn how this military-inspired mantra can guide transformative leadership in any organization.
