B1C Podcast – Episode 9: From 9-1-1 Dispatcher to Social Media Influencer
In Episode 9 of the B1C Podcast, we sit down for a powerful conversation with Craig Finneny, a dedicated 9-1-1 dispatcher, husband, and father, who has transformed personal experience, service, and advocacy into a growing platform of purpose.
From answering crisis calls behind the headset to becoming the voice behind HitofTruth, Craig shares his journey of using social media to create something bigger than content—a community. This episode explores the realities of life as a telecommunicator, the experiences that shaped his mission, and why creating safe spaces for people to speak up, share their stories, and feel heard matters now more than ever.
Craig’s platform is rooted in authenticity, support, and standing up for the first responder community. His mission is simple but powerful: give people a place to come as they are, tell their truth, support one another, and know they are not alone.
Important Note: This episode is audio only. This is why we don't script... it is raw and real and recorded in the moment to capture real, unfiltered conversation, a technology failure challenged our process—but it didn’t stop the message. We pushed through and still delivered an incredible, impactful episode that we’re proud to share.
