    Josh Q. - It's Time For My Story

    Josh Q. - It's Time For My Story

    On this episode of the podcast I finally sit down and share the ugly, harsh, and hard to hear truth that is my story. However, as difficult as it to tell this story, it is what sparked and help create what is now WhatMakesUsFire. 
    Here, I am hoping to be what I have asked so many others to be on this show. Open, honest, and "naked" in the truth. 
    I do this in the hope that my story helps ignite someone else to take the first steps in becoming the best version of themselves. 
    Its a journey, are hard fought journey to becoming whole with who you are and who you truly want to be in this life. Through hardship, trauma, and stress we can truly become the greatest versions of ourselves if we just allow ourselves to grow and learn through them. 
    Hopefully, just maybe, my story can help you do just that.
    This is my story, the story of what exactly WhatMakesUsFire is, and how the mission WILL change our world for the better.

    Brandon Defoure - Firefighter & Cop

    On this episode of the podcast we have Mr. Brandon DeFoure. A career Firefighter and part-time Cop. 
    Brandon and I talk about what it is like for a young individual, such as himself, to enter into the Civil Service world at a young age, and how it effected him. Since Brandon started in the civil service at such a young age he seems to have a pretty good idea of what to expect, when it wasn't expected.
