Billi Jo Baneck

First Reach & Ben Chan

March 4, 2025

Our first guest is Billi Jo Baneck, founder of the First Reach Foundation, a nonprofit that supports first responders' access to mental health resources. The foundation's current focus is to build funds that will offer grant opportunities to first responders who are taking steps towards caring for their mental health and well-being. They have a Sip 'N' Safari event coming up in June with the New Zoological Society. Then, local Jeopardy! contestant Dr. Ben Chan swings by the studio to talk about his latest appearance on the game show.
