Sometimes you just need to get your story out. It's not all about tactics and strategies, but personal struggles and success. My platform rose from the ashes of my failures and struggles in life and in my career. I have met many people who have had some of the same issues that I have had. Each personal experience is different, but the lesson is the same. Strength,determination and growth. I am proud to be able to give those who want to tell their story a platform to do so. My most recent guest speaks about his personal struggles and is very open and blunt about what he has been through and how he came out a better person for it.

I had the honor to sit down with Tim Griswold at the Northeastern Fire Summit in Wells,Maine. Tim has a lengthy history in the fire service, even though he is relatively young, he has been in the service before he could walk. His father brought him to his first call when he was just a child and the passion for the fire service has been with him ever since. Tim Griswold is a generational firefighter. His family has been involved with the fire service for a very long time. Tim has dedicated his body and mind to be the best he can for the people that he serves and for his department.

Tim and I dive into some areas where he was at his lowest and we also talk about the lessons learned. I am proud to call Tim a friend and I'm so happy to watch him succeed. I hope you enjoy learning about Tim and some valuable lessons on not judging a book by it's cover. Nozzle Tov!
