“I Woke Up to 50 Missed Calls”: A Firefighter’s Rock Bottom Story

From the outside, he had it all together. Fourth generation firefighter, physically imposing, respected at work. On the inside, he was drowning. Pills, alcohol, addiction layered on top of addiction, and a culture that covered for him instead of holding him accountable when he hit one of his lowest points. Jason Corthell, founder of Ironclad Wellness, shares what that rock bottom looked like and why the absence of real accountability that day became the catalyst for everything Ironclad was built to be. A wellness program built by first responders, for first responders, serving police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, and more across Texas.
