What do you do when life knocks you down—and the version of yourself you knew doesn’t quite fit anymore?

For our next Off the Water, we’re joined by Darren Richardson, a former firefighter/paramedic, two-time amputee, and mindset and resilience coach.

Darren has faced physical trauma, PTSD, depression, substance abuse, and the loss of a career that had become a huge part of his identity. He’ll share what helped him get back up, rebuild, and start creating a new path forward.

We’ll talk about adversity, the stigma around asking for help, recognizing when we’re struggling, and practical ways to build resilience when life doesn’t go according to plan.

There’ll also be time for questions and conversation.

🎣 Off the Water: Rising From the Ashes
📅 Tuesday, October 20
⏰ 6–7:15 PM MT / 8–9:15 PM ET
💻 Online + free to attend

We're excited to welcome Chris Brown as Member Engagement Lead for the Denver Chapter of Fishing the Good Fight.

If you couldn't tell by the 'stache, Chris is a retired Delaware State Trooper. After 20 years in law enforcement, including in robbery and counter-terrorism units, he now focuses on teaching mindfulness and meditation at thelongevityhabit.org. Glad to have you in the fight, Chris!

Here he is in his own words:

Proud and humbled to share that I’m the Member Engagement Lead for Fishing The Good Fight’s Denver Chapter.

I’m lucky to once again be part of an organization with a mission I believe is worth the good fight: helping men improve their mental health, build meaningful connections, and become better men.

And the way FTGF does it? Fly fishing + the outdoors + community + real conversations about life.

Are you kidding? Let’s go!

I also just got back from my first FTGF retreat—and caught my first Colorado brown on the legendary Arkansas River.

Honestly, I’m still struggling to put into words how powerful those three days were. There’s something pretty amazing that happens when about 20 guys come together with similar mindsets, spend time on the water, get outside, and create space to talk about the real difficulties—and the wins—of life.

I’m not here to sell anything—FTGF is a nonprofit. I’m just passionate about what they’re doing and about helping other guys, because no one should have to go through life alone.

If you’re working on improving your own life, looking for a community where you can support and be supported, and want to be part of something that I think is special, come join us.

And if you don’t fly fish? Don’t let that stop you.

I literally just started.

After piloting a virtual men’s night in August, the response was clear: y'all wanted more of it. So we’re making it a monthly thing.

Join us for an online, peer-led men’s group built around honest conversation and connection. We’ll break into small groups and talk about whatever’s going on in our lives—the good, the hard, and everything in between.

See you there!
