Our guest today is Trent Maxwell, better known as Lifeguard Maxi from the TV show, Bondi Rescue. As the youngest ever professional lifeguard to work at Australia’s world famous Bondi Beach, Maxi began his career as a trainee lifeguard at age 15 and at age 24 he turned his childhood dream of becoming a firefighter into reality. Maxi joins us to discuss life as a first responder, how he deals with the traumatic events he witnesses day after day, his own self care strategies and how he stays positive and tirelessly committed to his work. Maxi talks about the importance of his supportive peer group, keeping a healthy body, healthy mind and taking advantage of the counseling services provided to him.
