🎙️ Episode 83 — Get ’N Your Business Podcast

In this episode of the Get ’N Your Business Podcast, host Allison Shores sits down with Pat Long—firefighter, paramedic, and founder of The Decon Project—to share a powerful story of faith, cancer survival, and purpose.

Pat opens up about being in peak physical health when a small bump led to a shocking diagnosis of aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Despite minimal symptoms, he battled cancer with the support of his family, faith, and the firefighter brotherhood.

That experience inspired The Decon Project, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing firefighter cancer risk through prevention, decontamination, and early detection. The conversation highlights the hidden dangers of toxic exposure in modern firefighting and the urgent need to set a new health and safety standard for fire departments.
