We sit down with Greg George — 33 years as a New York State Forest Ranger and now Fire Chief in Blue Mountain Lake, NY. He’s lived the frontline life — fire, flood, rescue, and survival — and he’s still standing strong.

In this episode, Greg shares decades of hard-won lessons every frontline worker can use — whether you build, heal, cook, or fight fires:
Dressing right for the job, the weather, and the unexpected.
Fueling your body like a machine — water, food, and real-world endurance.
Playing the long game for a pain-free retirement.
The power of sharp tools, steady maintenance, and real readiness.
Teamwork, trust, and how to brief your crew for success.
This one’s packed with real stories and field-tested wisdom from a man who’s led crews through everything the North Country could throw at him.
Because whether you’re in the woods or on the worksite — preparation, teamwork, and endurance never go out of style. If you'd like to join the Dyad Force Flex Crew and receive our free weekly newsletter, you can sign-up here: https://www.dyadforce.com/newsletter
