    Been listening for almost a year now, and every single episode I’ve listened to has been full of lessons, stories and ideas that these guys share. They stand out so much more then other motivational and firefighter podcasts, as they share their owen stories and connect with the listeners on a more personal and educational level about life as a firefighter and every other role they play. Love it!
