Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Solo Spotlight, Ryan sits down with Davis — a tow truck operator with the Alberta Motor Association — for an honest, grounded conversation about what it means to help people on their worst days… and still keep your own peace.Davis opens up about the unpredictability of roadside calls, the risks that come with working inches from highway traffic, and the emotional regulation it takes to stay patient in high-stress situations.
