The 5% Podcast Firefighting is 95% preparation — this show is about the other 5%. Hosted by veteran Fire Captain Mike Norris, The 5% Podcast explores the mindset, tactics, and performance psychology that separate good firefighters from great ones. Each episode is built for those who want to go deeper than gear and drills — into the mental game behind fireground control, leadership under pressure, and decision-making when seconds count. Whether it’s Controlled Tactical Aggression (CTA), the power of tactical pauses, or training for stress inoculation, this podcast brings science, real-world experience, and a no-B.S. approach to mastering the space between action and emotion. Our goal is simple: sharpen the minds behind the masks and help the next generation of firefighters lead with clarity, intensity, and control. Join the 5% who train like it matters — because it does.

    CTA in Limited manpower scenarios

    In this episode of The 5% Podcast, Captain Mike Norris sits down with Logan Hinkle to break down the realities of rural fire tactics. From limited staffing and long response times to scarce water supply and vast coverage areas, rural departments face challenges that require both grit and creativity. Logan shares his experience and perspective on what it takes to succeed in these environments, while Mike connects the discussion back to Controlled Tactical Aggression (CTA)—showing how mindset, preparation, and disciplined execution matter just as much in small towns as they do in big cities. Together, they explore practical strategies, leadership lessons, and the mental edge needed to thrive when every gallon of water and every set of hands counts.

    What if it was over?

    This one is personal. I open up about my own injuries — the kind that test not just your body, but your mindset. Recovery isn’t just about rehab and patience, it’s about controlling the chaos inside your head. That’s where Controlled Tactical Aggression (CTA) comes in.   CTA isn’t just a fireground tactic — it’s a way to fight back when life tries to break you. In this episode, I talk about how I used it to stay sharp, push through setbacks, and keep my mind strong when my body couldn’t be.   🎧 Link in bio to listen.   #The5Percent #ControlledTacticalAggression #CTA #FirefighterMindset #ResilientFirefighter #PerformancePsychology #FireServiceLeadership #FiregroundControl #StayAggressiveStaySmart #FirefighterPodcast #MentalResilience #InjuryRecovery #MindsetMatters #FiregroundMindset #AggressiveButSmart #FirefighterStrength #LeadFromTheFront #FireTraining #The5PercentPodcast
