    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    This week's episode features our friend and fellow podcaster, Mike Yarbrough. Mike is the host of the Wolf and Iron podcast and founder of Rustic and Main. He has been in the space of masculinity and developing men for a decade; in this episode, we get into why he was thinking about moving on from that mission and what compelled him to stay in the fight. As usual, Mike also has a lot of other great perspectives to share, including some great marriage advice towards the end, so make sure you don't miss that! We encourage you to subscribe to Wolf & Iron and also make sure you go check out Mike's company, Rustic and Main!

    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?

    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.

    In this week's episode, Kevin and Nole delve into perfectionism. It's a trait that so many of us are burdened with, but is it a positive one that helps us achieve our goals at the highest level, or does it hinder us? We would love to hear from you on this one.

    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.

    Ask and you shall recieve. After last week's episode, you had questions. What do Nole and Kevin actually think about psychedelics and hallucinogens? This episode is us endevoring to explore that topic with you, from our perspectives. We think this is something that is important to talk about since it's so prevalent in the mental health, PTSd space and we enjoyed digging deeper into it here. We really appreciate those of you who reached out requesting this topic and we'd love to continue to hear from you regarding what you'd like to hear us discuss. Thank you for listening!

    In this week's episode, Kevin is joined by Jon Vargas of Grablives podcast. Jon is an L.A. City fireman and podcaster who started his journey into podcasting due to multiple suicides in his department and the way they were handled. As Kevin gets deeper into Jon's story, they get into some of the past trauma and physical injuries that plagued Jon early in his career as a firefighter and how he has used alternative medicine, spirituality, meditation, breathing, and more to begin to find healing. We want to thank Jon for coming on the show and for having Kevin on his podcast, which we encourage you to go listen to by following the link below.

    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. He stopped drinking back in October and together we walk through the difficulties, the benefits and the mindset behind the decision.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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
