Episode 21 features one of my favorite people in the fire service, Scott "Pope" Vadakin. One of the most humble and dedicated people in the fire service. Scott is an FDIC instructor, lead training instructor, and cadre member of the True Grit Training LLC.

When Vadakin speaks, people listen. See why he resonates with people so well in this latest episode.

EPISODE #20 baby!! We hit the mark Rejects! This episode brings on a good ol' homegrown Texas boy who has a passion to serve and build others up around him.

This episode brings in one of the most passionate and charismatic people I know in the fire service. When you listen to Mike talk, you can feel the love he has mixed with his hilarious swagger.

Mike and I talk a lot about how mentors have influenced him to be the man he is today, and how his Mom has always been his biggest motivator to be the absolute best.

I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I did just hosting it. This is part 1 of our conversation, and we plan to do a live one soon.

In this episode, Chief Dennis Reilly brings his 50 years of passion and experience to the podcast. It was great listening to someone who has lived and experienced what works and what doesn't. I only hope to be able to give half of what he has contributed to this profession.

Matt Magee is stoic, reserved, and humble, but don't get it twisted... there is a dormant beast inside. Matt Magee is a 20-year member of the fire service and his journey through the smoke diver programs, fitness, and mental toughness are worth listening to and sharing.

Get ready to be hit over the head with a hailstorm of gold nuggets. Jesse Horton from Horton's and Hunt brings the heat. The word PASSION in all caps comes to mind when I think of Jesse. When you hear him speak, you know he is on a warpath to make the fire service better than he found it. Please tune in for this episode, it will go down in the record books.

Mike Nasti is passionate about leadership in the fire service from any position. In Episode 14 we discuss what it takes to be a leader and a company officer in the fire service.

Right out the gate, Danny B was throwing punches! He is as real as they come and the fire service needs more of his style and authenticity. Tune in to Episode 13 to hear the Student of Game Fire Podcast host drop some truth bombs and talk about his why.

On this episode, I had the great honor of hosting Will Hegedus from the FDNY, creator of the Bravest Strongman Club. Will loves to debate hot topics like various types of fitness in the fire service, but also, when and when not to train in gear!
