Into the Fire - Tyler Burns

On September 12, 2025, episode #66, I will feature, Tyler Burns from Ft. Wayne, Indiana. After working in public safety for over 10 years, Tyler finally stepped away from the field due to Post Traumatic Stress, aka PTSD. Since leaving completely in 2022, Tyler has struggled with the urge to go back, but realized it was better for himself and his family to stay “retired”.

Tyler realized there was a growing concern with first responders and healthcare workers struggling with mental health as a result of the job, and decided to start a podcast titled The Debrief with Tyler Burns. The show interviews people from around the country, giving them a platform to share their story so that others may learn from their lessons before suffering the same fate.

Realizing there is still more that needs to be done, Tyler started a nonprofit organization called Project 86. We will dive into what Project 86 is all about, among many other things for sure... Should be an informative episode...
