Customer Reviews
Great fundamentals for the new FF
Just listened to episode 50 & 51. Great information & basic points for potential new hires. Humble yourself, find and copy a roll model is spot on. Always easy to find information on the assessment pre-hire process. Episode 51 gives advice on history, traditions & culture of the probationary FF & expectations. Great to hear this. I’m retired 31 yr Fire Capt & spent many years as a trainer and academy instructor. Proud father of a Hotshot & Navy Seal. Keep em coming 🔥
Authentic, motivating, and real content
Chris is a class A individual who is running a show that promotes authenticity, work ethic, character, and much more. Whether you are in the fire service or not, I think Chris proves episode in and out on the type of person we should all strive to be.
Take a listen, take some notes, and get after it!
So looking forward to guests and insights.
This show will help so many looking for insight into the world of the Career Tactical Athlete.
