In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Phillips of Stand Watch Knives. Andrew is a dual agency first responder which means he is a full time firefighter & police officer. He will talk about how this works and the challenges that exist in this balancing act - his unique perspective and atypical path into this work makes for a great story. We cover the physical, mental & emotional pressure of working fulltime in fire & crime and get into the origin of the Stand Watch brand. If you are or personally know someone who is a first responder, I believe this episode will give you great insight on how to support yourself and/or those individuals around you that are involved in this line of work. There's a lot more behind Stand Watch Knives than you might understand and hopefully by the end of this episode you have a clear picture as to why these hand-crafted knives are so special.
