About the Course
First responders are trained to control chaos on the outside, but the real challenge is what happens internally after the call is over. The 10 Code Mindset equips first responders with practical, science-backed tools to retrain the brain, reduce mental overload, and prevent one critical incident from bleeding into the next. This session teaches how to shift from automatic stress responses to a mindset built to prevail—in uniform, at home, and long after the career ends. This isn’t therapy. It’s tactical brain training for the ones who run toward the chaos.

Scott Medlin
Scott Medlin is a former U.S. Marine and law enforcement officer who spent nearly 15 years serving in patrol, K-9, and Field Training roles before stepping fully into his mission: helping first responders prevail beyond the stress and impact of the job.
Diagnosed with PTSD during his service in the Marines and battling addiction just two years into his law enforcement career, Scott also faced the quiet struggle of believing “I’m fine” while his mental health continued to slip. But through it all, he never relented. Scott sought help, leaned into professional support, and did the work required to rebuild his life, identity, and purpose.
Now, he uses those hard-earned lessons to equip first responders to do the same.
Scott is the author of multiple books including 101 Stress-Busting Tips for First Responders and Mental Health Fight of the Heroes in Blue, host of The 10 Code Mindset podcast and YouTube channel, and a national speaker who has trained police, fire/EMS, dispatch, probation, corrections, and public safety leaders across the country.
With a blend of neuroscience, tactical experience, and trauma-informed mindset strategies, Scott teaches how to retrain the brain using the Reticular Activating System, neuroplasticity, intentional language, and performance-focused thinking—so first responders can protect their mental clarity, strengthen relationships, and break the cycle of bringing one crisis into the next.
His message is simple but profound: You can’t always control the call, but you can learn to rise above the impact of it. The goal isn’t just to survive the job—it’s to prevail in career, family, and life.
