Meet Our Guest
Doug White is a veteran and retired first responder with over 30 years of combined service. He wrote and published Hiding in Plain Sight: The Truth about Trauma, Service, and The Way Forward to fulfill a new mission: starting honest, necessary conversations about the challenges faced by veterans, first responders, and their families. These challenges emerge when a life of selfless service inevitably collides with the complex realities of the human condition.

Through his book, Hiding in Plain Sight, and the Tell This Story platform, his mission is to create a space where voices are heard and hope is shared for those still hiding in plain sight. Each week on Tell This Story, he sits down with fellow veterans, first responders, and their loved ones to unpack these struggles through authentic storytelling and work together on finding a way forward.
