    Who's Going to Carry the Flag? | A Firefighter's Story

    In the very first episode of the Carry The Flag Podcast, firefighter and founder Chris Maleta shares the story behind the movement and the question that changed his life: "Who's going to carry the flag?" What began as a conversation at the fire station became a mission to inspire people to lead by example, serve others, and carry something bigger than themselves. Chris shares his journey from growing up in a small Kansas town to becoming a firefighter, entrepreneur, and founder of Carry The Flag. He opens up about the defining moments that shaped the movement, the stories that convinced him it was bigger than a clothing brand, and why he believes ordinary people are the backbone of America. In this episode, you'll hear: • The true story behind Carry The Flag • How one firefighter's challenge changed everything • The meaning of "Who do you carry the flag for?" • Lessons from the fire service, family, and entrepreneurship • Why Carry The Flag is a movement—not just a brand • What's next for the podcast and the community Whether you're a firefighter, veteran, first responder, parent, business owner, teacher, or someone striving to make a difference, this episode is a reminder that leadership begins with responsibility. Who do you carry the flag for?
