EP 33 – I Need Help – Detective Robert Garland

Robert Garland has 13 years in law enforcement. He current is a detective with NYPD. But Robert is more than just “a cop”. He's the founder and CEO of a much needed platform, “Fund the First“. It's a verified crowdfunding platform for first responders and those who want to support a first responder.

Robert is also the host of the “Heroes First Podcast“, which provides insights and stories from First Responders, Military, Medical and Business professionals. Robert also sits on the board of, “Fallen First Reserve” a non-profit 501(c)(3) that helps pay financial expenses related to the passing of a first responder.

I had a great conversation with Robert about all of the things he has going on, plus much more once we got into different segments of the podcast.
