    The Kitchen Table Self-Help Series: One Driver’s Story with Dan Knox (S3,E4)

    The NIOSH multi-year firefighter cancer study identified that fire fighters have a 9% greater chance of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14% greater chance of dying from cancer than the general U.S. population. At the 2022 IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial, almost 75% of the names added to the wall (348 out of 469) were members who had died from occupational cancer.  Overall, the IAFF reports that cancer caused 66 percent of the career firefighter line-of-duty deaths from 2002 to 2019. If these statistics don’t get your attention…they should. This episode Justin White sits down with retired Driver Engineer Dan Knox as he humbly describes his journey with cancer from diagnosis to treatment to recovery to retirement. Driver Engineer Knox also discusses how his actions (or inaction) may have contributed to his diagnosis and what you should do to decrease your risk of being diagnosed as well. So come and join Justin, Chris Weaver, Grant Tinker and the 14th nicest guy on the job Dan Knox for a deep and honest discussion of his relationship with cancer at the Kitchen Table.  As always, sit down, enjoy, and be ready to learn about cancer, how it could impact your life, and more importantly what you can do about it. All the resources discussed in this episode can be found attached to the activity in Target Solutions.

    Leader of Character (S3, E1)

    Leader of Character (S3, E1) - There are plenty of leadership speakers and authors available who tell all who will listen what they need to be a great leader.  Often times, however, these leadership guru’s don’t provide their students the things they need to do to practice the skills needed to be that effective leader.  In this episode we talk with author Dave Anderson who has written a book that not only describes the traits needed by great leaders, but also provides direction on how to create, exercise, and nurture those traits.  Mr. Anderson wrote his book Becoming a Leader of Character with his father, General James Anderson.  Both are graduates of the Military Academy at West Point.  General Anderson spent 41 years leading members of the US Army, while Dave took a different path after serving eight years in the Army.  Dave left the Army to lead teams in the private sector in a Fortune 50 company.  With a good blend of military and civilian experience Dave and his father provide a practical approach to leadership that can help even experienced leaders become more effective.   Sit down, enjoy, and be ready to learn a little about leadership and how to practice becoming a leader of character; one that is a respected and effective member of the team.
