Tailboard Talks Firefighter Podcast

I pretty much expose myself as one of the great philosophers of our generation on this episode.

Mostly by brutally massacring things that other people have told me.

Here are the highlights:
The more overlap in the Venn Diagram there is, the happier you are.  Also, Nature is metal and will jack you up unless you take measures to fill your vacuums with good stuff.

Make sense?  Thought so.

We've done a lot of lifestyle episodes here and I like that vein a lot, but there's been a request for a pocket dump.

My daily fire gear carry has changed over the years but I've always kept it light and fast. 

What do you think of my three "secret sauce" tools?

Recently a story from 2019 resurfaced as charges were brought against a fitness influencer for defrauding her clients.

Curt and I sit down to talk about spotting a fraud and the differences between an influencer, and a coach.

Shoutouts to John Rusin and Ben Bruno for some reference material.

I made a quick mention of a company that does a great job at providing a high level of value to their digital fitness clients.  Find Level 10 on IG and see what they're all about.

One of the unique dynamics of the fire service is the intermittent solo parent system.

Every third day (or more) one of the members is given the reins to the household and the other is on shift for at least 24 hours.

Today Katie and I are talking about this dynamic, most importantly we address the positive aspects of the system.

How do you manage your intermittent solo parenting?

Solo effort on this one but I'm going over a study that caught my eye.  I'll also be doing it in a way that would make any true scientist shake their head and throw a graduated cylinder across the lab.

Effects of Fatigue on Functional Movement Efficiency in Physically Active Adults

Spoiler alert: Fatigue makes us not move so good.

Have a quick listen to hear how to combat that fact and avoid those injuries.

World Premiere of Baby Sawyer.

Nathan had a doctor's appointment today so it was easier to bring Sawyer with me to record than sending her with Katie.  Except for when she took one look at Curt and decided that today was the day she would wage war.

After about 30 mins of calming her down, we got on the mics and talked about working out on shift.  What our preferences are, dislikes, guidelines, and advice to progress yourself without sacrificing ability.

Both Curt and I bring up some points that go against common social media practice.  Our suggestions won't get you more likes or followers, but they will keep you ready to respond (which is actually your job by the way)

What do you think?

Turns out we had some more to talk about from the topics of the previous episode.

But first, Katie cracks open a Cosmo article about dating firefighters so we dig in a little.

Talking to our kids about my job is something we didn't have to think about yet but it has certainly become a topic of conversation since.  So thank you for the prompt and we'll be looking for more suggestions on topics in the future.

We hit the couch for some IG questions about raising our kids in a fire family, cooking at the FD, and dating your spouse.

First, Katie demanded a retraction/revision on my description of her gift giving M.O.

Enjoy and reach out with any topics or questions.

Maybe our most important and personal episode to date.  Curt and I answer two questions that were submitted through IG.

1. How do you meet clients/FF where they are when it comes to fitness?

2. What advice would you tell your younger self about maintaining your wellbeing over the course of a career?

Of course, the first 10 minutes is mostly talk about coffee, K cups, and napping.

This is one of our most loaded episodes.

Not only have a failed numerous New Years resolutions, I'm really good at failing mid year and end of year ones too.

Besides resolutions we talk bout the crew gifts from last shift, homemade ice cream, Apple watch vs Whoop, and using the landmine with a safety squat bar.

Another fun episode with Curt, so check it out.
