JJ, Juice, John K Johnson has given me the honor of his time and is here to preach the good word. I first met JJ at Training Days in Alexandria, VA, and his humble spirit, Godly demeanor, mentorship, and over 40 years of firefighting experience shines through in this one. We cover a lot of ground in a short time. We cover topics like faith, family, a near-miss after a comrade fell into a roof on a working fire, racism and culture, alternative fuel fires and so much more. Please check him out at:

When in in-extremis situations, there are many metabolic and emotional parameters at play. We are rarely “just” in a physical test, or rarely “just” in a psychologically stressful incident. Both our physical prowess and our mindset are intermingled and at use while on the fireground, amplifying each other at once. While we discussed the five attributes of the holistically prepared firefighter, to boil things down further, there are three main components that are required during high-risk environments: expertise in our profession, physical prowess, and the emotional regulation to endure and overcome the in-extremis event without relative harm to yourself or your team.

Hey everyone, in this episode we sit with my dear friend, Barry Floyd, endearingly known as B-Rock. He has 27 years in the fire service, and we discuss his upbringing in Baltimore City, how he stayed away from the street life in the 80’s, but how he also experienced that side of it when he was shot in the head at the age of 18. Through a year-long recovery, it’s what inspired him to join the fire service. We dive into his experiences during a 2008 Mayday when a garden apartment roof dropped on top of him and his officer (one of my other buddies) and the lessons learned (I’ve also attached a youtube video of that fire after they had exited the structure). Also, what it means to be a senior firefighter, creative ways to build connection with your people, and so much more. He is certainly one of those people that leaves it better than he finds it, and I am so incredibly grateful that he gave me some of his time. Lastly, B-Rock mentioned a handful of names during the podcast that have shaped his personal and professional life. Men and women who have shaped the fire service and have shown commitment and given opportunity. Please stay tuned until the end to hear his personal thanks and shout-outs.

Mike comes with a wealth of experience on the fireground and firehouse floor, hailing from a busy metro department in the Mid-Atlantic.

Check him out at @tip_of_the_spear_leadership on IG.
