In this week's episode, we have Jeremy Stalnecker, one of the founders of Mighty Oaks back to talk about his experience running 22 marathons in 22 days. Jeremy accomplished this impressive feat as part of the Mighty Oaks 22 for 22 challenge, an effort to awareness about veteran suicide rates (22 a day) and to raise funds for Mighty Oaks to continue their work to combat the root causes of this devastating issue. This conversation is about far more than just an impressive feat of endurance and ends up being a great lesson on building character and grit.

This week's episode features Brian Andrews of Back Your Badge. Brian is one of those guys who's unbridled enthusiasm gets everyone around him fired up. His passion for faith, family and career is inspiring. What you'll hear in this episode is his story of the years long process that led him to the creation of Back Your Badge, a program that he has designed to help first responders be the best they can be on the job and in their personal lives, with a primary focus on getting home safe at the end of every shift, and making sure your crew gets home safe as well. He also gets into the difficult but incredibly important topic of making sure your family is prepared and cared for in the event that the worst happens and you don't make it home. While this can be a heavy topic and not something that most of us ever want to think about, let alone talk about, it is something that is very important and can have a great impact on your life.

In this week's episode, we are joined once again by our good friend Sean. We asked him to come back and share with us a coaching program he has been developing for the last couple of years. Sean is a highly intelligent entrepreneur who has gone from working for a fire department and has since left to forge his own path. As he has found success he maintained his desire to pay it forward just like we are taught to do in the service. The program that he has created and breaks down for us in this episode is perfect for those of you who are investing or want to be, financially in your future in the stock market, real estate, or other means. Essentially Sean has a coaching program that will walk you through every step required to establish and launch a business online. Even if you are not in a place where this is something you think you would be interested in doing, this episode is fascinating as it provides a glimpse behind the curtain of a part of most of our daily lives, buying things online, where they come from and how they get there. If you're at all curious about anything we talk about on this episode, make sure you reach out to Sean, he will be more than happy to talk to you and answer any questions you may have.

In this episode, we are joined once again by our friend Jeremy Stalnecker. Jeremy is one of the co-founders of The Mighty Oaks Foundation, a non-profit organization that has been working with veterans and first responders since 2011 with the goal of helping them through their challenges with PTS. One of the most common stats that comes up in discussions that center around veterans is the number 22 which is a number that signifies the amount of veterans who take their own lives each day here in the United States. While the number fluctuates and there is evidence that currently it is far higher than that, the desire for Mighty Oaks and people like us is to take that number and turn it into zero. You can help us with that goal right now! We are joining Jeremy and many others in the 22 for 22 challenge where we are committing to doing something hard physically for 22 days, starting October 21st. During this challenge, we will be seeking to raise money for the Mighty Oaks Foundation so that they are able to continue the amazing work they are doing for veterans. Both Kevin and Nole have attended one of Mighty Oaks programs and have experienced firsthand the life-changing power that is available there. To join us follow the link below and make sure you join our team, "The Fire You Carry" so that we can track each other and raise money together for this cause.

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 some of the ways they plan to make the new year, 2022 into a good one. In our opinion, there are likely going to be a lot of things that we can't change going on this year that we will probably not enjoy or agree with. But, that doesn't preclude us from taking action in our lives to do things that will ensure it is still a good year. Let us know what your plans are to make the most of this year!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=FacedownRecordsWim Hof Breathing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tybOi4hjZFQ&ab_channel=WimHof "Resentment" by A Day To Remember.

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.
