In this episode I had the privilege to talk with Captain Chad of the Austell Fire Department. Captain Chad Criss is a Bearers of the Oath Cadre member, as well as an Instructor for Elite Fire Training.

Chad Criss emphasizes the importance of being fully committed to the emergency services profession and how Faith plays an important role in his everyday life. He discusses the need for progression and growth within the field, highlighting that being 'all in' means not only excelling in one's role but also giving back to the community and sharing skills with others. Chris underscores the significance of continuous learning and development in providing effective service. Chris hits on the importance of having a positive role in his youth, How his Grandfather taught him the important facts in life and how those lessons still have meaning to this very day.
