Rich is a certified mindfulness trainer, a retired police officer and coast guard veteran who believes in your innate resilience, humanity and capacity to show up and thrive amidst hard circumstances. Richard specializes in training health, resilience and human performance skills to first responders and other high reliability professionals. One of Richard’s current projects is being trained by a Therapy K9 named Buddha so they can work as a team to bring joy and mindfulness skills to responders and veterans. We’re going to learn a lot more about Rich, his Coast Guard and police service, his work with human performance, his role in the new mindfulness movie The Mindfulness Movement, and his mindfulness training - that’s all here in today’s episode of the Veteran’s PATH podcast.
