  • Brandon Dunham - Grassroots Wildland Firefighters and Leaving a Fire Career for Family

    On this show we hear from Brandon Dunham on the topics of :

    • the Tough Decision of leaving behind a Fire Career
    • Grassroots Wildland Firefighters - who they are and what they're up to.    


    “Brandon Dunham is a former wildland firefighter for both the Bureau of Land Management and the US Forest Service. He has 11 years between the two agencies, and has served on helitack, engine, and hotshot crews during his time with the agencies…

    He retired from wildland firefighting in 2019, but continues to serve the fire community by creating The Anchor Point Podcast, and also serving as a founding board member of the Grassroots Wildland Firefighters organization…

    Brandon stated, “I wouldn’t change the experiences that I had firefighting for anything… It’s a one of a kind culture, and brotherhood, that can be found in very few places.” He continued, “Now that I’m out of the firefighting game, I want to give back to the fire community that ultimately shaped me as a person”

    Brandon has made it a mission to “make better humans” by sharing wisdom of fellow firefighters and experts in the field, not only to the current boots on the ground, but the next generation of firefighters as well.

    Michael Bulloch - a father, husband, author, and corporate consultant, specializing in business strategy, process, and technology for start-ups and growth stage businesses as well as large enterprise transformation projects. By all standards I’ve been highly successful, with degrees from a top university followed by an MBA. I’ve worked at major global firms and have been a leading part of several successful startups. I’ve been fortunate to travel the world, visiting unique and amazing places on 6 continents. Now, in my late 40s, I’m the strongest, healthiest, fastest, and fittest I’ve been in a long time, possibly ever. But this wasn’t always the case.
