The Fire You Carry

Everyone carries fire. It is inside of you right now. It may be a spark; it may be embers; or it may be full-blown, raging flames. It may have been given to you by someone; maybe passed on from fathers, mothers, grandparents, coaches, or friends. The fire may be acquired from tragedy and difficulties in your own life. Or it may be passed on to you from someone distant; someone you don’t even know; but still they have left a mark. These are the things we talk about on this podcast. We, ourselves, have felt this fire. We continue to strive to become better men, husbands, fathers, friends, and citizens. This podcast is the result of our own journey, of our own discoveries; and it is our hope that you will come along with us and discover your own fire. We are constantly interviewing men we respect; men who have kindled their own fires. They may be successful in the workplace, exemplary as a husband or father, or simply set an example in how they stay fit at any stage of life. We are firemen, and we often focus on issues that we face daily: Trauma and PTSD; from how to stay fit when your life might depend on it; to learning how to be present as a husband and father even when we’re gone from home a lot of the time. What we are learning applies to the military, law enforcement, EMS, and even UPS drivers. The principles that make anyone a successful man are universal truths that do not change based on a job description or a phase of life. Come, stoke the fires that you carry, and dare to kindle some new ones.

202: Putting Your Faith in the Wrong Places Nov 18, 2024

In this week's episode, Nole shares a personal and somewhat embarrassing story from a time in his life when he put too much of his faith and belief in a man, a man who ended up failing him, at least in his perspective. Where else do we tend to do this in life? What is the right thing to do? Where should we be putting our faith? We delve into all of that in this episode. Thank you for being a listener, it means a lot to us.

201: Idaho, Injury, Politics & Religion with Captain Michael Knobbe Nov 11, 2024

In this week's episode, Nole sits down with Captain Michael Knobbe. If you're a long-time listener to the podcast, you know Michael from episode number 2, along with a couple of others where he guest hosted with us. Today, we're getting into why Michael chose to move his family out of Southern California to Idaho and the pros and cons that go along with that. We also discuss a pretty devastating injury that he sustained last year and how he has come back stronger than ever. Towards the end of the podcast, we also delve into the edges of a political discussion and talk a little bit about religion as well. Basically, we do a lot of weaving.

199: Kevin Are You Ok? Oct 28, 2024

In this week's episode, Kevin gets personal about something he's been struggling with, how it came to his attention, and what he's doing about it. We all need to have corner men in our lives to help us when we're going through the fights of life, and this is an excellent example of what that could look like. The storms or fights in life are not always obvious to those going through them; sometimes, we need a brother, a wife, or a friend to come alongside us to point them out and walk through them with us.

197: Say No & Take a Break. Oct 14, 2024

It might be time to start saying no. It might be time to take a break. Yes, you are tough; yes, you can do more, help more, show up more, but should you? At what point are you doing too much and sacrificing in the areas that you claim to be the most important?

In this week's episode, Kevin and Nole delve into the phenomenon of the false summit. Many of us have encountered this during our adventures out in the wilds, and like many things we come in contact with in the physical world, it contains some poignant life lessons. We also dig into using these principles as training tools by working through ways to harden your resilience and build your mental toughness using the false summit.

194: When Leadership Fails to Communicate. Sep 23, 2024

In this week's episode, we are talking about the detrimental effects of ineffective or nonexistent communication down the chain of command. In the large organization we work for, there often seems to be a lack of communication as to why things are done, what the mission is, or the reasons behind it; we have found this to be very detrimental for a whole host of reasons. We also tie this into communication at home with our wives and families, how we can do a better job in those arenas, and why that's important. Additionally, we talk briefly about how to best communicate up the chain of command for those of us on the lower ends of the leadership structure and why this is equally important and must be done properly.

193: Stabbed Nearly to Death During a Routine Medical Call, with Capitan Ben Vernon. Sep 16, 2024

In this week's episode, we are joined by Captian Ben Vernon of San Diego City Fire. During a routine medical call, Ben and one of his fellow firefighters found themselves fighting for their lives and wound up getting stabbed multiple times. Ben takes us through that harrowing experience and then details how it dramatically changed his life, almost ending it. This riveting episode contains graphic descriptions of violence and some profanity, so if you are sensitive to that type of content, listener discretion is advised.

192: The Cost Sep 09, 2024

In this week's episode, Kevin and Nole discuss some of the cons and costs associated with being firemen. They endeavor to answer, "Would you still sign up if you knew what you know now about the job?". While the main topic here is the difficulties our department and so many others are experiencing, we know that guys in the "civilian" world will also be able to relate to most of this. When times get tough as you work to provide for a family and build a career, what's the best path forward? What are some best practices to implement as you launch into a new career in the fire service or anywhere else? Let us know your thoughts; we'd love to hear from you!

191: The Gentle Slope. Sep 02, 2024

The world has sold us on the idea that we deserve to be comfortable at every moment. The world is wrong. Embracing that idea is keeping us mediocre; it's keeping us stuck. It's keeping us from growing. We need to step up as men and put in the hard work to do the right thing instead of the expedient thing. We need to embrace suffering and discomfort because that is where we grow and begin to reach our full potential.

190: Stolen Valor Aug 26, 2024

In this week's episode, Nole talks about stolen valor. This is an issue that has emerged on the national political stage and while we don't really do current events this is an issue that falls in line with our mission here at The Fire You Carry. For those in the civilian world, this episode should be helpful for you to better understand what stolen valor means and what you can or should do about it. For those in the veteran community, this episode should also give you some ways to think about this and some ideas on how to approach it when you come in contact with it.

189: The Battle For Mental Health, With Scott Henderson. Aug 19, 2024

In this week's episode, we are joined by our good friend Scott Henderson. Scott is a firefighter paramedic with Pasadena Fire, a husband, and a father. He joins us today to talk about The Battle for Mental Health, a boxing event fundraiser that he started in 2019 to raise money for our friends over at Next Rung. With this year's event coming up in October and some exciting challenges on the horizon for Scott, we thought this would be a great time to have him on to encourage you to get involved and plan on coming out to the event in October. Follow the links in the show notes to learn more!

187: Are You Humble, Or Are You Hiding? Aug 05, 2024

In this week's episode, Kevin and Nole dig into our thoughts on humility. Humility is a good personality trait and something we aspire to, but can it be taken too far? Are we holding ourselves back and limiting our impact for good on those around us out of a misguided idea that being humble means never personally recognizing the things we are good at?

186: Some Life Lessons Gleaned From Loosing Children, Or, Life Lessons Learned The Hard Way. Jul 29, 2024

In this episode, Nole goes solo to talk through some of the lessons he has picked up along the way after the deaths of two of his and his wife's sons. This episode was recorded close to the 19-year anniversary of the loss of their first son and is something that Nole has felt called to record for years, only recently finding the courage and motivation to do so. While the lessons here stem from a particular type of loss, Nole does his best to connect those lessons to other life experiences that you have likely walked through or will at some point in your life.

184: Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, The Importance Of The Fire In Your Belly, Preparation & Sleep. Jul 15, 2024

In this week's episode, we are joined by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman. Rather than tell you who he is, we recommend you go to his website, read his bio, and come back here. Link here. https://www.grossmanacademy.com/about-the-colonel
In our time with the Lt. Col., we go into the importance of having a fire in your belly and combine that with preparation, told through some great stories that Lt. Col. Grossman has collected over the years. We then delve into the danger of sleep deprivation, what it's doing to us as men and as a society at large, along with some of what we can start doing about it. We really appreciated out time with Lt. Col. Grossman and look forward to having him back on again soon.

In this week's episode, Kevin and Nole are joined once again by John Estrada. John last came on our show back on episode 40 to talk about fatherhood, and we had an excellent conversation on the subject. Today John is back to talk about his sobriety.

Regardless of where you stand on alcohol this episode will be of benefit to you as the perspectives that John brings to this episode span more than just this one issue.

180: On Post Traumatic Stress & How Nole Has Been Failing To Deal With It Properly Jun 10, 2024

In this week's episode, Nole shares his recent struggles with Post Traumatic Stress and his failure to deal with it in the ways he knows work. Kevin also shares his perspective on dealing with similar struggles, and we delve into what we know works when dealing with difficult times in our lives. Often, there is a separation between what we know we should do and what we actually do. Nole has been in that place of late, but it's time to go into the storm and start doing the hard things because we know there is only one way out, and that's through. Regardless of where you're at in life today, we think that candid conversations like this about the things we struggle with are good for us to participate in and we encourage you to find a good group of corner men that you can have talks like this with. Don't know where to find those guys? Try coming up to The Fire Up Program in October, it's a great place to start. Links are below.

179: The Ranger Creed Jun 03, 2024

In this week's episode, Nole talks through the Ranger Creed, why it exists and what it means in his life now, so many years removed from his time in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Nole's time in Ranger Battlaion shaped a lot of who he is as a man today and the Ranger Creed was a part of that. Through this episode Nole explains how he has continued to carry this creed in his life through changing his perspective on it so that it applies to his life now, as a civilian.

178: Tribute To A Great Man, Leon Broussard III, Pops. May 27, 2024

In this week's episode, Kevin and Nole discuss Pops, Kevin's stepdad. As you know, Pops recently passed away. In honor of him and the amazing legacy he leaves behind, we thought it would be fitting to talk about just a few of the attributes that made this man who he was and discuss how we could implement those into our own lives moving forward. We also discuss how to grieve as a man and the importance of doing so. We even get into the difficulty and importance of saying "I love you", in other words, this is an authentic and heartfelt episode, and one that you should listen to in full.

177: How To Prepare & Make It Through "The Tower" (Fire Academy, Police Academy, Basic Training) May 20, 2024

In this episode, Kevin and Nole get into what it's like to go through "The Tower". The Tower, often called a Fire Academy, is a very unique training experience that can be difficult to navigate successfully, so with this episode, our goal is to give you some tips, tricks, and insight that can help you be successful and enjoy the process of getting hired as a firefighter. This episode will also be helpful to those of you going into law enforcement or the military, as the initial phases of training for all of these have a lot of similarities. If you're not working to get into any of these lines of work, you will still find this episode interesting, as the things that happen there and the things that are often required of you are unique in many regards. Thanks again for listening; we appreciate you!

176: Leap Of Faith, With Josh Smith. May 13, 2024

In this week's episode, Nole is joined by Josh Smith. Josh is a friend from Hume Lake and this episode focuses in on Josh's journey of faith and the lessons learned through it. The primary focus is on trusting God, and taking "leaps of faith" as He calls us into things that don't make sense to us, and resisting the temptation to rely on our own strengths or experience. This one hits me right where I'm at in life right now and I personally got a lot out of the conversation. I know that you will too.

175: The Importance Of Competition, With Jim King, Vice President Of The California Police Athletic Federation. May 06, 2024

In this week's episode, we are joined by Jim King, Vice President of the California Police Athletic Federation. Jim is a retired fireman passionate about the incredible benefits available to everyone through sport & competition. In this episode, we talk through some of the amazing ways competition can benefit those of us in the first-responder communities. However, the benefits are not exclusive to those of us serving in those careers; they exist for everyone. Jim also talks with us about the upcoming Police and Fire Games that will be held in San Diego, June 8th - 15th. We strongly encourage you to follow the links below, find something you'd like to compete in, and go for it. In our experience, there's nothing better than putting an event on the calendar to get you serious about training; the mental and physical benefits that will come from that process are undeniable. Get after it!

174: Brady Mclean, Go Fast Don't Die. Apr 29, 2024

In this week's episode, we are joined by Brady Mclean of Go Fast Don't Die. Brady thought his life had essentially come to an end at age 28 after going through a divorce. This experience deeply shook Brady and forced him to reconsider his life's story and take stock of whether or not it was one he was proud to tell. One of the things that rose from the ashes of this time in his life was Go Fast Don't Die. Put simply, Go Fast Don't Die is a motorcycle brand that encourages those who don't think they fit into the motorcycle scene, or any other scene for that matter, to find instead their community where they do fit in or make their own. It embraces the idea that the best communities, scenes, tribes, or groups are not exclusionary based on something so innocuous as what kind of motorcycle you ride, what music you listen to, or almost anything else. Go Fast Don't Die is also a brand that promotes the idea of fighting against the "small deaths" that we all to often find ourselves living out in our own lives. We do not live up to our full potential because we are afraid of something, too lazy, or just stuck in the rut of what we've always done. All of the heart behind Go Fast Don't Die comes from Brady and his life experience, which is what we primarily dig into in this episode. Ensure you follow the links in the show notes below, get on Brady's Instagram and tell him we sent you, go to the Go Fast Don't Die website and sign up for their email list, maybe even buy a shirt. Personally, I have already done both. - Nole

170: Not The Solution, With Jeremy Stalnecker Apr 01, 2024

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.

169: Our Culture Is Killing Us & What To Do About It, With Captain Evan Halquist. Mar 25, 2024

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.

168: Getting Those Around You To Start Executing "Extreme Ownership" Mar 18, 2024

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.

165: Tim Kennedy, Experiencing The Worst While Still Living The Best. *Repost Of Episode #47* Feb 12, 2024

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.

160: When Being Disciplined Is Easy, Are We Actually Being Disciplined? Dec 25, 2023

In this week's episode, Kevin and Nole explore the idea that discipline in some areas of our lives comes naturally, it's almost second nature. While in other areas of our lives, we severely lack discipline. How do we balance this out and begin to discipline ourselves in the areas where it's most difficult to do so?

155: Brian Andrews Of Back Your Badge Nov 20, 2023

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. Follow the links in below to find out more and get in touch with Brian.

153: Build Your Kingdom With Sean Percy Travis Nov 06, 2023

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.

151: 22 for 22 Challenge with Jeremy Stalnecker of Mighty Oaks. Oct 16, 2023

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.

145: Returning From War & Finding Another Battle Back Home, With Marine Scout Sniper, Jordan Laird. Sep 04, 2023

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.

134: Preparation For A Fire Department Oral Interview Jun 19, 2023

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. Thank you for listening.

061: Eric Eastlund, Firefighter Diagnosed With Cancer & The Fight That Followed Nov 01, 2021

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.

053: Jason Teter, L.A. City Fireman On His Memorial Bike Ride From Los Angeles to New York On The Tenth Anniversary Of 9/11, Part One. Sep 06, 2021

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.

December Challenge: 3000 burpees in a month. Nov 30, 2020

This is the challenge for the month of December. Brought to us by one of our listeners! We are going to do 3000 burpees. No that is not a typo, we are doing three thousand burpees in a month.

Listen to the audio for an idea on how to scale it if you feel you need to. The rules are as follows: At the bottom of the burpee your chest must touch the ground. At the top of the burpee you must jump and both feet must actually leave the ground. You must clap your hands somewhere above your head whilst jumping. That's it. Now start doing burpees. Merry Christmas from The Fire You Carry!
