In this powerful and unfiltered episode of The Heat of Command Podcast, Kyle and Kerry dive into the growing disconnect between what leaders say and what they actually do—especially in the fire service.
From hollow uses of “brotherhood” and “integrity” to the dangerous comfort of performance-based leadership, they call out the culture of buzzwords, empty policies, and promotional speeches that lack authenticity.
They also tackle the harder truths: why we resist self-reflection, how conditional support erodes morale, and why real leadership starts with integrity, not titles.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Do my actions align with my values?”—this episode is for you.
It's time to stop talking and start doing. Say less. Show up more.
Forged in fire. Led with purpose.
