In this week's episode, we are joined by our friend Gio Roman. When Gio heard that Russia was invading Ukraine, he knew he wanted to help. Within days of the invasion, Gio was on the ground, acting as a medic for a Ukrainian unit composed of both native Ukrainians and other foreigners who had come to help. Gio eventually returned to Ukraine, and the story from that trip will be released next week.

In this week's episode, Captain Halquist is back to discuss how to best approach a day following a bad night of sleep. This protocol comes both from actual science and his own personal observations while working at one of the busiest fire stations in the world. Whether or not you work as a fireman, this protocol will benefit your life and improve the quality of that life if adhered to. There is great information here, so be ready to take some notes! Links to some things mentioned in the episode are in the show notes below.

In this episode of The Fire You Carry, Kevin and Nole are joined again by their good friend Jeremy Stalnecker. Jeremy is one of the founders of The Mighty Oaks Warrior Foundation, an author and podcast host. The topic today is suicide. We approach this difficult topic from the perspective that there is hope and there is a solution for those of us who would seek to put a stop to the tragic toll that suicide is taking, not only in our department and the broader first responder, military veteran community but also nationwide across all communities. Jeremey and Mighty Oaks have recently released a new resource in this fight, a book titled "Not The Solution" that you can download for free using the link below. While this is a hard topic to talk about and, at times, can be hard to listen to, we think it is imperative, and we appreciate you taking the time to listen. Follow the links below to learn more about Mighty Oaks, their resources, and Jeremey.

In this episode of The Fire You Carry, we are joined again by Captain Evan Halquist. Evan came on the show today specifically to talk about something he is very passionate about, the fact that so much of what we are doing as men today, thinking that it's beneficial, is quite detrimental. With this knowledge in hand, we address the ways we can adjust our lives and start to change the culture around us, to obtain better outcomes for us and the men around us.

Listen to the end for a reading of another epic review of the podcast! Who knows, it might be yours this time.... Unless you've never written us one. If that's the case, you know what to do!

In today's episode, it's story time! We share multiple stories highlighting some principles of taking "extreme ownership".  Specifically with a mind to demonstrating it for those around us and thus making it part of the culture that we are in. If you enjoy fireground/firehouse stories, this one is for you. Terms like "leading by example", "extreme ownership",  "leaders eat last" and so on, are ingrained in our culture. But how often do we know what they mean, how to implement them, or how to encourage others to implement them? With the sharing of a few simple, real-world stories we highlight some of the ways we think passing on the leadership principle of "extreme ownership" can be possible.

We're back with a new episode! In this one, we delve into some of our current training protocols, including Kevin's foray into the dreaded Norwegian 4x4, and yes it's as brutal as it sounds. We also discuss determining when it's ok to not show up for something you said you would, or something you know would be good for you. Don't forget to check out the links to the Fire Up Program below and get signed up for one of our classes this year. We're only doing 2 more so don't miss out!

In this week's episode, Kevin and Nole talk about some of the more common marriage and family issues that come up during the Fire Up Program along with some of those they've experienced in their own marriages and families. The institution of marriage and the family are both under attack in our world today and we as men need to be doing everything we can to strengthen those relationships that we have been charged with leading, and in order to do that we need to be aware of the most common issues and difficulties. Let us know what issues you think we missed in our Discord group for the podcast!

This episode was recorded when we flew out to Texas in July of 2021 to spend a couple of days with Tim and record this episode. Tim was kind enough to open his home to us and include Kevin and I in his workouts on the mornings that we were there. In this wide-ranging episode, Tim shares some of his war stories with us, we talk fitness, and being a better man, and we even discuss the pros and cons of driving a minivan.
