In this episode, we sit down with Dwayne and Kristen Mann, the dynamic duo behind The Sophisticated Jake. After an on-duty injury and a PTSD diagnosis forced Dwayne to leave his 18-year career in the fire service, he embarked on a challenging journey to rediscover his identity and purpose. Together with his wife Kristen, who brings her own inspiring story of sobriety and resilience, they share how they’ve navigated the trials of PTSD, redefined their roles at home, and worked to break the stigma surrounding mental health in first responder families.
