Episode 2
Tuesday, 20 January, 2026

Captain Randy Gates is a first responder, breathwork facilitator, wellness educator, and founder of Breath of Fire—but he didn't always understand the connection between mental and physical health. In Part 2 of our Nevada Peer Support Program deep dive, Chris Rodgers, VFIS Industry Specialist, and Captain Gates discuss what led him to emergency services, when he started to realize the importance of mental health, and how he utilizes and teaches breathwork as a proactive technique to both relax and energize the mind and body. Learn how breathwork can support mental health and resilience in emergency services.
