This episode brings in one of the most passionate and charismatic people I know in the fire service. When you listen to Mike talk, you can feel the love he has mixed with his hilarious swagger.

Mike and I talk a lot about how mentors have influenced him to be the man he is today, and how his Mom has always been his biggest motivator to be the absolute best.

I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I did just hosting it. This is part 1 of our conversation, and we plan to do a live one soon.
