  • Great Command and Leadership Podcast

    I like this podcast because they are directly teaching how Alan Brunacini led, and they do it without an overload of testosterone, ego, and bravado that many of the fire service influencers depend on to convey the message. These guys are straightforward without taking themselves too seriously. Love this podcast!
