## Resource

In today's episode we are excited to bring you Charlie Metzner from our local firefighting departments here in St. Louis as well as a driving force behind the St. Louis Hero Network - a nonprofit dedicated to giving back to the families of current and former local first responders! The son of a firefighter himself, Charlie knew that public service was something he wanted to invest in and dedicate his life to. Taking the leap from serving the community to serving those who serve the community, Charlie's mission of giving is one we can all learn from and take something away from.
