Resilient Humans

Episode 167: Ready to respond?


Listen Later

In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin shares the personal story of becoming an EMT and now beginning Fire School and how this journey has reshaped his understanding of resilience.

From the discomfort of being a beginner again, to the pressure of real-world simulations, to stepping into one of the most demanding training environments around—this episode isn’t just about firefighting. It’s about the universal process of growth, fear, failure, and showing up anyway.

You’ll hear:

  • 🚒 What EMT and Fire School taught Kevin about responding under pressure
  • 💥 Why resilience is about choosing discomfort on purpose
  • 🧠 The power of beginner’s mindset and learning as an adult
  • 🔥 Why waiting to feel “ready” often holds us back from our best growth
  • ✅ A challenge to stretch yourself—even in small ways—this week


Whether you’re stepping into something new, considering a big change, or just need a reminder that you’re allowed to grow slowly—this one’s for you.
