Jordan Laird is a former Marine Scout Sniper who served multiple tours overseas, with his final deployment into Afghanistan being the most bloody and traumatic. Upon returning home Jordan found new battles awaiting him, some that came close to taking his life. While Jordan suffered TBI during his time in the service and certainly carries scars from his fights both at war and at home, he is now actively engaged in bringing hope to other men who are struggling as he once did.

This week's episode with Kevin and Nole was created based solely on a question we got through Instagram. When asked if we had an episode we would recommend for help preparing for an oral interview or "chiefs interview" we realized we didn't have an episode talking about that and decided to create one. Even if you're not in the game trying to get hired by a fire department you should enjoy this episode as the subject matter is something that most outside the world are not aware of. Additionally, most of these lessons can easily be applied to other job interviews or life situations where the way you communicate is of the upmost importance.

In this week's episode, Kevin and Nole talk through the reality of dealing with "false summits" in life. A false summit is when we have a plan or a goal and we feel we are about to achieve it, but life steps in and we realize we're not going to accomplish what we thought we were going to, at least not in the time frame we originally thought. How do we deal with that?Big thank you to My Epic and Facedown Records for the use of their song "Hail" in our podcast!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz2RZThURTU&ab_channel=FacedownRecordsKevin's Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/kevinpwelsh/?hl=enGet on the waiting list for the Fire Up Program!https://fireupprogram.com/Nole's Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/nolelilley/?hl=enFire Up Program Instagram Account.https://www.instagram.com/fireup_program/Join us on Discord.https://discord.gg/rkDa9Ae27qBuy us a coffee to support the podcast.https://discord.gg/rkDa9Ae27qBuy podcast apparel.https://thefireyoucarry.threadless.com

In this week's episode, Kevin and Nole delve into the tendency many of us have to get stuck reliving the glory days when we accomplished something we perceived as good, or special. The temptation to allow this to become an excuse to not work as hard as we should is real and something that we have both struggled with. We talk about this through the lens of Uncle Rico, and if you have ever watched Napoleon Dynamite, you instantly will understand the connection.

This episode will give you some great perspectives on facing adversity in your life or supporting others that are struggling, with cancer or anything else life throws at you. Make sure you share this episode with someone you think would benefit from it! Eric Eastlund is the new Engineer on our shift. He has been a fireman with our department for over ten years now. He and Kevin went through the tower together. Eric was diagnosed with cancer after about 6 years on the job and this episode focuses on the process of fighting it. Cancer is a scary diagnosis, and for firefighters, it is all too common. Eric's mindset, his willingness to fight on multiple fronts, and the strength he carries from his heritage as a member of the Chumash tribe, along with the support of those around him all added up to defeating cancer.

Short last-minute episode for you this week. We talk about a fitness challenge we are currently in with our MyZone heart rate monitors, Nole defends his workout methodology and we talk about the ethics of shopping carts, again. Enjoy! 

In this episode, we have the return of Kevin & Nole, sans guest! We love guests but this week we felt it would be good to talk to those of you in the audience that may be facing the reality of being fired in the near future. While we do not get political on this podcast we did want to share some of our thoughts on how to look at the current challenge that so many are facing right now and give you a couple of different ways to look at it and hopefully work through it. We also delve into some reasons that you might decide it's time to quit your current job and we share our thoughts on that as well.

In this episode, we sit down with Juan Huizar. Juan's family is originally from Mexico, they made the move to the Central Valley of California when Juan was 4. Juan grew up with hard-working role models from his parents and began learning the benefits of that hard work at age 9 when he started picking garlic in the fields. He worked hard in school, got involved in wrestling, and carried on the family dream of education as he went off to college and graduated with a degree. Juan is now the President of Sage Real Estate out of Long Beach, is married, and has 2 daughters. This is a great story of a family's pursuit of the American Dream, don't miss it.

Do not miss the last 20 minutes of this episode. The whole thing is worth your time but that last 20 minutes really hits home. In this episode, we finish up Jason's story of his epic bike ride across the nation to honor the 343 firemen that gave their lives on 9/11. We talk about what he learned and how the journey impacted him. We also get into some of the things that we've lost as a nation recently and how we can get them back before it's too late.

As we are getting ready to mark the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks on 9/11 we thought it would be timely to sit down with Jason Teter, L.A. City fireman. On the 10th anniversary, Jason rode his bike from Los Angeles to New York to honor those 343 firemen who lost their lives that day.  This is part one of two and in it, Jason talks about why he chose to go on this adventure, the planning or lack thereof that lead up to it, and some of the adventures, mishaps, and life-changing events he experienced along the way. We also talk throughout about what 9/11 meant to each of us, how it changed us, and how we feel about it 20 years later. We are joined in this episode by our new engineer, Eric Eastlund.Thank you to My Epic and Facedown Records for the use of their song "Hail" on our podcast!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6temrRRagcJason's blog from his bike ride. https://tetering.wordpress.com/Buy a Fire You Carry shirt or hoody!https://thefireyoucarry.threadless.com/Support the Podcast and "buy us a coffee"!https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheFireYouCarry

In this episode, we have Viet Nguyen. Viet is a Deputy Attorney General who has represented the People of the State of California in the United States Supreme Court, California Supreme Court, and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  In 2020, he received the AG Award for Sustained Commitment to Diversity for his work with the law clerk program.  He is married to Carie, a teacher.  They have two children, Leah and Zachary Vu. In 1975, his family immigrated to the United States as refugees after the fall of Saigon.  His father, Chuyen Van Nguyen, was a soldier with the South Vietnamese Army and later a pilot in the U.S. Airforce.  Chuyen dedicated his life to helping the community in Little Saigon.  His brother, Vu Nguyen, was a reporter who wrote for the Associated Press, Seattle Times, Orange County Register, and Daily Breeze. This episode is a fascinating and timely look into what becoming an American looks like from the perspective of a family of refugees.
