Podcast Overview
<p>Firefighter podcast capturing the leadership of the fire service, discussing topics to create conversation at the coffee table, and give members an opportunity to challenge the status quo. Original purpose is to not let some of the best leaders walk out the door and lose 20 to 30 years of experience, but this has expanded to have short sessions that can be listened to on the way to work and hopefully spark conversation while drinking coffee at shift change. We believe in challenging the status quo.</p>
