Uncle Mike is joined live at the SC Fire-Rescue conference with Kevin Manhardt. He speaks about his multi-family dwelling class, life as a Squad boss, and what it takes to start a FOOLs Chapter. 

Live from the 2023 SC Fire-Rescue Conference, Uncle Mike is joined by two truck company hard-chargers. Both Ethan Tucker and Ryan Murphy, who happen to be adjust instructors for Truck Co. Ops, share their passion for truck work as they discuss their specific truck company related courses they presented at the conference. They talk about their motivation for developing the instructional content, and answer what job duties they love most on the fire ground. 

Number 30 of Beyond the Stretch focuses on new beginnings and changes. How do you handle these new opportunities?  Where does the motivation come from to produce positive outcomes, especially when you weren't necessarily prepared or happy to be placed in a different situation? From the ashes rises the Phoenix. 

In 29, we talk about the things we wish we knew earlier in our fire service careers, and provide some tips and tricks we’ve picked up to our listeners. 

We dabble in some intro music and learn about Uncle Mike’s run in with a rap star. We then transition into talking about uphill battles and what it takes to love the process. 

No special guest? Nope, just Mike and Vinnie somehow relating Nicholas Cage to the fire service…

Season 3 starts off with two of the founding members of Fire Wife Life LLC joining us to talk about the reasons for their mission and how they have grown into the supportive global network they are today. 

TBD - 

Last episode of season 2.

There is a difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Or is there?
We talk about this and more in number 23.
