Joined this week by the one and only Kyle Shuford, and we kicked it off by discussing getting outside your bubble to train and why it matters. Remembering the why. Work-life balance, mental health and staying in love with the job. How passion and leadership go hand in hand in the greatest job on earth. Of course all of this is just what we had planned and it was derailed by the beautiful questions from the audience to make sure we could not cover everything!!!!

Joined this week by the one and only Ian Schulte, and I had an awesome time having this conversation. We open up with a discussion of being good versus looking good and it only went up from there! We talked about leadership and mentorship in the fire service. Recruitment, training and setting the standard. Balancing education and On-the-job experience, and of course firehouse culture and morale! All of this plus the usual beautiful questions from the audience to make sure we don't get to everything we wanted to discuss!!!!

Joined this week by the one and only Dave Quick. We get nerdy and talk about all things engine, hose, leadership and tactics. We start with the NFPA as Dave explains what we are getting right and wrong. The importance of the “Engine Boss” and what the title really means. The Engine company "urgents"… how to identify and rectify these issues at the pump panel. Of course no discussion with Dave would be complete without nerding out on some hose and attack package talk! All derailed by the beautiful questions from the audience!!
