Captain Evan Halquist is back for another round, and he's here to announce a new resource that we have been anxiously awaiting here at The Fire You Carry. Fire Built is a purpose-driven set of training protocols designed for the first responder that will benefit anyone who puts them into practice. Follow the links below to learn more. 

When the tones don’t stop going off, how do you show up for your family the next morning? When you're exhausted from all that life throws at you, how do you keep pushing through when you need to? In this episode, Kevin and Nole sit down with Captain Evan Halquist to dive deep into the physiological "reset button" for first responders.

Evan breaks down the science of recovery, explaining why typical rest isn't enough after a high-cortisol shift. We explore his Bad Night Protocol, the hidden dangers of "forever chemicals" in firefighting gear, and his fascinating experiment in "Anti-Glycolytic" training—proving that strength is the ultimate foundation for endurance. Whether you are a firefighter, a tactical athlete, or a busy parent, Evan’s insights on Fire Built resilience offer a blueprint for thriving in the face of chaos.
