Summary

Trucking is a stressful profession, and Shaun Lezer knows that as well as anyone. The Utah-based truck driver found himself at a crossroads a few years back, and the path he took has made a world of difference for his mental and physical health. Now, Shaun uses that experience to mentor other truckers going through similar issues. He joins the show to share some tips for getting past the bad and embracing the good. Then, therapist Buck Black specializes in treating truck drivers, and he’s got some professional advice on ways to reach out and connect with someone who can help.
