Our guest today is Dr. Shauna Springer, who is known as "Doc" Springer to countless veterans and first responders. Through her company, THIN LINE ADVISORY, she offers highly specialized consultation and advising to organizations and companies that hire and support veterans and first responders.

Based on years of work, in a relationship of unique trust with the protector/defender community, she has seen how well-intended civilian mental health approaches can unintentionally increase risk — especially when are misaligned with the culture and ethos of this community.

On this podcast, we'll engage in a conversation with Doc Springer that will challenge executive teams to rethink how they measure effectiveness, how they build trust, and how they leverage Veteran ERGs as strategic assets — not symbolic ones.

This isn't about adding another program. It's about reducing invisible risk, retaining high-performing leaders, and ensuring that the people who once protected the country are properly supported inside your organizations.

The conversation is direct, evidence-informed, and focused on actionable shifts.
