In this powerful episode, Chris opens up about his time as a Navy Rescue Swimmer, the lessons he carried into firefighting, and his near-death experience in a BMX biking accident that left him in a coma. His story of recovery and determination is both inspiring and a reminder of the strength of the human spirit.
