    Mental Demob w/ Shannon Mead Oct 25, 2021
    Show notes

    Well folks, its about that time to start calling it dunzo for the season...

    With that comes a whole new set of challenges - The boredom, the part where you have to explain to the "normies" what you do for work, the awkward reintegration into your own family, figuring out what you're going to do during the winter, the holidays, where you're going to live - The list goes on...

    All of this stacks up, and it can be an overwhelming experience for the folks that are young in the game... It can even be more difficult for the folks that are seasoned in the fire game.

    Thats why we have Shannon Mead on the show today to talk about the importance of having a plan for the off season, and also not having a "Glide-path" to actually wind down from the adrenaline high and stress of the fire season.

    Heres a little more about Shannon:

    Shannon Mead is a local clinician in Reno, Nevada who specializes in military, law enforcement, wildland firefighters, and first responders...

    "As a therapist, adoptive mom, and friend/family member to a whole bunch of first responders - I know that helping takes a heavy toll on those who are willing to shoulder the burden. And unfortunately, the existing supports aren’t always helpful (to put it kindly). Whether I am working with individuals, couples, or an entire organization, my purpose is to strengthen those who sacrifice for our community.

    I have a Masters degree in Couple and Family Therapy from Antioch University and a corporate coaching certificate from Fielding University. I am intrigued by systems and patterns, and as a therapist I tend to be practical and straightforward. Perhaps that is because I spent many years as a tech and data consultant before pivoting into counseling.

    Over the years I have become increasingly interested in compassion fatigue and secondary trauma, and focused most of my research on these topics. As a foster/adoptive parent I have felt the burden myself, but have also seen it in the lives of my guardian friends and family. I absolutely hate that those who step in to help are often chewed up by the roles and I’m working hard to do something about it."

    She is just one of the many "culturally competent clinicians" out there that are available... Please feel free to use her practice as a resource this season.

    You can find her practice here:

    https://www.stackofstones.com

    Shannon also just produced a training video with some great tips on winding down for the off season!

    You can find that video, and a bunch of other good stuff at the following links here:

    https://www.stackofstones.com/wildland-resources

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuxxAjOcs6P5MfZC8NCoPHg

    Call her, email her, do whatever you need to do to take care of yourselves before, during, and after the fire season!

    You know the drill...

    Stay safe, stay savage...

    Community, Duty, and Integrity w/Jeff Dupras Oct 10, 2021
    Show notes

    Being a Division Chief is a difficult job... Especially when your forest has been on the receiving end of catastrophic fires for the past five years... Thats why we have Plumas National Forest Division Chief, Jeff Dupras, on the show today to talk about his experiences.

    Jeff has 31 years in the wildland fire service, and has seen a lot of change over the years. Particularly, the changes in fire behavior and impacts to communities nested in the wildland urban interface.

    He has also seen a dramatic change in the perception of the public when it comes to wildfire. Oftentimes leading to wild conspiracy theories, distrust, and a slew of other things.

    His mission is to build a better understanding of wildfire, increase transparency, be an advocate for his community, and always be in the corner of the "boots on the ground".

    You know the drill...

    Stay safe, stay savage...

    Enjoy!

    "Six Minutes for Excellence" w/ Thomas Wurm Oct 01, 2021
    Show notes

    Thomas Wurm stops by for his second appearance on the show to talk about mental health, mastering the mind body connection, optimizing peak human performance, and his upcoming new book, "Six Minutes for Excellence"...

    Thomas Wurm is a wildland firefighter, author, publisher, and podcaster. He is a certified Master Practitioner in NLP (Neuro-linguistic programing), Hypnosis, and Mental-Emotional Release®... He is also a certified Fitness Trainer and Sports Nutritionist. He uses NLP, hypnosis, Mental-Emotional Release®, co-active coaching methodology, nutrition, and fitness as tools for success in his practice. Thomas studied at the Awakened Academy, Coaches University, International NLP Center, International Sports Science Association, Self-Publishing School, Empowerment Partnership, and on the fireline.

    Thomas studied wildland fire for fourteen years on firelines around the western United States, and in doing so, Thomas saw a gap in the mental health services being provided to wildland firefighters through official channels. Per his training, Thomas recognized that if a gap exists, it must be called out and closed.

    The intention of Mountain Mind Tricks is to help wildland firefighters develop leadership, peak performance, and mindset so they can reach their highest potential on the line and at home. In Thomas’ experience, it’s easier for fire agencies to hire a new employee than it is to support existing ones, and he wants to fully support wildland firefighters in the areas of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. By reframing the way in which the fire community is dealing with the mental health crisis burning in the west, Thomas is forging a healthy path forward.

    About his upcoming book, Six Minutes for Excellence, he highlights the concepts of Leadership, Peak Performance, and Mindset in Wildland Firefighting:


    The S-courses will never teach you excellence because excellence comes from within. When there is gap in the line you call it out and then you close you, don’t you? Thomas M. Wurm is calling out the mental-emotional gap in the wildland fire community and giving you the tools to close it. You were taught about human factors in wildland fire but where are the techniques to change a limiting human factor into a lesson for growth? Six Minutes for Excellence illuminates the path to excellence for courageous men and women to open their minds to the extraordinary power of human potential. Thomas’ strategies will support and amplify yourpower to ignite your internal leadership. Focusing on mindset, peak performance, and leadership in the wildland fire environment, Six Minutes for Excellence is a guide to your highest potential as a wildland firefighter. This book will teach you how to take charge of your mind and optimize your results.

    Learn how to breathe, anchor, visualize, and execute any wildland fire task with excellence, because when alignment is achieved in the mind, body, and spirit, wildland firefighters can control their results.

    Redmond Hotshots w/ Gabe Mason and Jordan Gulley Sep 30, 2021
    Show notes

    As a Redmond IHC alumni, I cannot begin to explain the incredible experience that I had with Redmond Hotshots. So, that's why I have Superintendent Gabe Mason and Asst. Superintendent Jordan Gulley from Redmond IHC sit down to chat about one of the four Leadership Training and Development Hotshot crews in the nation...

    In August 1960, the Washington Office authorized the establishment of the first inter-regional crew in the Pacific Northwest, which became the Redmond Hotshot Crew. The crew functioned as a regular hotshot crew with temporary crewmembers from 1960 through 1980.

    The Redding Interagency Hotshot Crew based in California was the first organization to use the developmental detail-training concept for permanent employees. The number of interested applicants however, far exceeded the quota offered to the Pacific Northwest. The increasing number of interested candidates, along with the 1977 fire fatality of Okanogan Assistant Fire Management Officer Ron Neely on the Gibson Creek Fire, served to support the establishment of a detail crew in the Pacific Northwest.

    In 1981, Redmond IHC was converted to a leadership developmental training crew. From 1981 to the present, the Redmond Interagency Hotshot Crew Leadership Development Program has provided the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, State Natural Resource Agencies, the Forest Services of Mexico, U.S.S.R., France, and New Zealand with both fireground and classroom training opportunities in fire and fuels.


    Here is a little more about Gabe and Jordan:

    Gabe Mason:

    "I grew up in Roseburg, Oregon and I began my career on the Diamond Lake Ranger District after achieving my Bachelors of Science, majoring in Kinesiology at Oregon State University. I have served as a Prineville hotshot, Alaska smokejumper, and Rogue Siskiyou and Deschutes National Forest crew supervisor. I currently operate as the Redmond interagency hotshot crew superintendent, and am actively involved in the leadership develop courses at the regional level. I love my time with family, coaching sports, drawing, and studying anthropology."

    Jordan Gulley:

    "Jordan began his career on the Tonasket RD in 2007. While completing his studies at Washington State University he accepted an apprentice position on the Paisley R.D. in 2010and attended Academy 52 the same year. Over his career, Jordan has worked on a Type 2 IA Crews, Hotshot Crews, Helitack Crews,and Engines.

    Jordan is passionate about training & promoting diversity. He serves as a Stress First Aid Trainer, Regional Lead Instructor and is the African American Special Emphasis Program Manager on the Deschutes NF. Jordan strives to continue to make an impact within his communities.

    He is thankful to his inner circle, which includes his wife and three daughters, who allow him to chase his dreams."

    "Wildfire Fire Saved My Life" w/ Mark Booker Sep 05, 2021
    Show notes

    Ronald Mark Booker Jr. is an air attack and former Plumas Hotshot smokejumper from Venice Beach, CA...

    His entry into fire is not your "traditional" wildland firefighter story... His entry into the wildland firefighting scene in the 90's, was through the California Division of Forestry's youth authority program. Through this program, Mark developed skills to turn his experience into a life long career with the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management fighting fire.

    Without question, Mark will say that "fire saved his life"...

    This is Mark's story of fire, life, culture, surfing, hardship, "cornballs", and how fire saved his life...

    JK Boots Round 3 w/ Tim Khadzhi Jul 26, 2021
    Show notes

    Today on the show, I sit down to talk with Tim Khadzhi at the new JK Boots location in Redding California...

    The Khadzhi family is a prime example of chasing the "American dream". The family came to the United States in 1994 seeking a better life... From that, JK Boots was founded, and has exploded in popularity among the fire community.

    On the episode, we don't necessarily dive into the ins and outs of the actual boots themselves. We dive into the driving factors that motivate the owners to become the absolute best in the game. We also focus on getting to know the "man behind the boots", the story behind JK Boots, the philosophy of the company, and the future of JK Boots...

    These folks make badass boots, and they give back to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation!

    You know the drill...

    Stay safe, stay savage...

    Enjoy!
