Shane Wheeler has lived leadership from multiple vantage points — as a Fire Chief, an EMS leader, and now the CEO of a rapidly growing regional mobile health organization. In this episode, Shane reflects on the parallels between public safety leadership and executive leadership, and why the skills chiefs develop over a career translate far beyond the firehouse. We explore the tension between kingdom vs. community, the shift from being a hands-on operator to a vision-setting leader, and the difficult discipline of keeping your hands out of the pie so others can grow. Shane shares candid lessons on loosening control, trusting your team, and moving from day-to-day operations into strategy and organizational vision. He also opens up about imposter syndrome, the importance of education and lifelong learning, why leaders must avoid pigeonholing themselves, and how transparency, humility, vulnerability, and accountability are not soft traits — but essential leadership tools. This conversation is a powerful reminder that leadership evolves, learning never stops, and pacing yourself matters if you want to lead for the long haul.

Chief Matthew Vinci brings more than 31 years of experience across every level of the fire service — from the kitchen table to national advocacy to the Fire Chief's office. In this episode, he shares how his background as a labor leader shaped his belief that people are the most valuable resource any department has, and why inclusive leadership isn't optional if you want real progress. We explore the real growth challenges facing fire departments today, how involving your labor group in strategic planning, budgeting, and facilities decisions builds trust instead of resistance, and why stagnation quietly erodes culture. Chief Vinci breaks down how leaders can make strong decisions with 80–90% of the information, instead of waiting for perfection, and why momentum matters. He also shares how Spokane County Fire is tackling wellness with a multi-pronged approach, and why leaders must accept that you never truly know where your career — or life — will take you, but preparation and involvement shape the outcome.

I sit down with Chris Case, a firefighter who spent 25 years in Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service before making the leap to Canada and becoming Fire Chief of Chatham-Kent in Ontario.This is not a career-timeline conversation. It is a deep exploration of leadership, identity, and the personal cost of doing complex work in complex systems.We talk about moving beyond the cookie-cutter career, the curse of competence, and what happens when professionalism becomes a golden cage. Chris shares hard-won lessons from counter-terrorism, multi-agency command, senior leadership, and governance, but also from parenting, failure, anxiety, and learning when to stop optimising everything.We explore why managers enforce rules but leaders enforce values, why undefined expectations become premeditated resentments, and why senior officers eventually trade tools for words. We talk about ambition, burnout, anger as fuel, and the danger of confusing progress with peace.This episode is for firefighters at every rank who are trying to do meaningful work without betraying themselves in the process.Connect with Chris Case HEREAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE our partners supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingFIRST TACTICAL- tactical gear for elite operatorsMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD Send us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

This week we sit down with Shepherdsville Fire Chief Jody Craig to look back on his first year on the job.Email the show: yeswayjosemail@gmail.com

You ever walk into *that* firehouse? You know the one. The crew is burnt out. They've given up on morale. And they're constantly complaining that "Downtown" or "The Brass" have ruined the job.But my guest today argues that if your station's culture is toxic, you shouldn't be looking at the Fire Chief for help... you should be looking in the mirror for solutions to your problems.Yep. The most powerful person in the department isn't the one with the bugles on their collar—it's the Company Officer sitting at the kitchen table. Dr. Candace Ashby is a Battalion Chief with the Indianapolis Fire Department. She holds a PhD in Organizational Leadership. She is the creator of "Leadership from the Bottom Up," a no-nonsense approach that challenges firefighters to stop playing the blame game and start taking ownership of their department.She joins me today to talk about why we need to stop waiting for permission to lead, how to turn bitterness into betterment, and why the future of the fire service depends on the men and women riding the engines

Jeff speaks with members of DECCA, SARAH GRACE FLUSHER and JACK BROSHE. We then visit with retired Fire Chief, Scotty Bush.

Fire Chief Randy Chevalier of Timber Mesa Fire and Medical District shares hard-earned lessons on leading through crisis and challenge. Having guided his department through three firefighter line-of-duty deaths, Chief Chevalier discusses the importance of building a solid support team inside and outside the organization, understanding that no leader can do everything alone. He emphasizes navigating crisis with a focus on mental health, and the necessity for leaders to give themselves grace while extending grace to others.

Send us a textStrength without silence. That's the thread running through our conversation with Jeff Dill, a former battalion chief turned licensed counselor and the founder of the Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance. Jeff has spent years validating firefighter and EMS suicide data, building workshops from real-world stories, and leading behavioral health efforts for Las Vegas Fire and Rescue. He brings hard-won clarity on what actually helps: simple language, daily habits, and policies that protect people when the job wears them thin.We break down the internal size up, a practical check-in that asks, “Why am I acting this way? Why am I feeling this way?” It helps catch irritability, isolation, and sleep loss before they morph into bigger risks. Jeff draws a vital line between PTSD and moral injury—showing how betrayal, guilt, and shame often sit beneath the surface while treatment chases fear and trauma. Forgiveness becomes a survival skill, not a pass for bad behavior, and we talk about how to practice it without forgetting or restoring unsafe trust.From there, we get tactical. Sleep debt, high call volumes, and 24-hour shifts push good people into impulsive decisions. Cultural brainwashing tells responders to be brave, strong, and self-reliant—until that story keeps them from getting help. We dig into the data, including surprising patterns among women in fire and EMS, and outline what a proactive program looks like: family education, annual mental health checkups, vetted clinicians outside insurance for privacy, real-time aftercare after tough calls, and telehealth to reach rural members. Leaders will hear budget-smart ways to protect training from the chopping block, and crews will gain language for checking on a partner without making it awkward.You can reach Jeff at the following websites:For the Firefighter Behavioral Alliance (FFBA), please go to: https://www.ffbha.org For the moral injury white paper, download it by clicking: https://www.ffbha.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Moral-Injury-White-Paper-2-9-23.pdf For the Firefighter Behavioral Alliance (FFBA) Facebook page, please go to https://www.facebook.com/FirefighterBehavioralHealthAllianceIf you're a firefighter, EMT, dispatcher, or cop—or you love someone who is—you'll walk away with tools you can use today and a clearer picture of how to build a healthier culture tomorrow.

We're celebrating our 300th episode with Topeka Fire Department Chief Chad Longstaff, who brings 36 years of experience, a brief retirement, and a deeply human approach to modern emergency response. The conversation moves beyond firefighting to the rise of EMS, the power of communication over judgment, and how a culture of dignity helps firefighters manage burnout while serving people at their most vulnerable. Chief Longstaff explains how Topeka is connecting fire, police, mental health providers, hospitals, and nonprofits like TRM into a single safety net focused not just on response, but on understanding and prevention.We also dig into the realities of homelessness, recurring 911 calls, and showing how respectful handoffs, fast outreach, and collaboration reduce strain and build trust. Chief Longstaff shares personal stories that reshaped his view of leadership and service, alongside moments of gratitude, highlighting that compassion-first public safety works. If you care about community health, prevention, and practical collaboration, this episode offers both a roadmap and a reason to believe we can do better together.To learn more about TRM, Click Here!To support TRM, Click Here! Send us a Message!

In this episode, I sit down with former federal employee and rural Colorado Fire Chief Erik Holt, who says his career ended after he reported what he believed to be clear evidence of election misconduct. After nearly two decades in federal service, he accepted a Fire Chief position in a small rural district, rebuilding the department from the ground up. Within a year, it grew from five personnel to more than sixty trained firefighters. By every measurable standard, the department was thriving.  Then came the May 2023 election. Following complaints from citizens, he reviewed surveillance footage from polling locations and says what he found raised serious legal concerns. Acting as a private citizen, and believing he had both a moral and legal obligation, he reported the findings to the District Attorney's Office. What followed, according to him, was retaliation. The newly elected board—some of whom were allegedly implicated—ordered him to delete surveillance footage. He refused. Bank accounts were frozen. Emergency services and payroll were disrupted. Days later, he was fired. He filed a federal lawsuit asserting First Amendment protections, arguing that reporting election fraud should not cost a public servant their livelihood. While the court acknowledged misconduct, his case was dismissed without ever reaching a jury. During the process, he says he uncovered troubling conflicts of interest inside the District Attorney's Office itself—raising serious questions about accountability, due process, and whether constitutional protections truly apply to those who speak up from inside government institutions. He is now appealing his case to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals after exhausting more than $150,000 of personal funds.

In this compelling episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco sits down with Erik Holt, an Army combat veteran and respected fire department chief, to share a firsthand account of alleged election irregularities in Colorado — and the profound personal cost of speaking out. Erik explains how citizen complaints led him to review hours of high-definition surveillance footage from a local election. What he says he discovered raised serious concerns about election procedures and compliance, prompting him to report the findings through official and lawful channels. Instead of receiving institutional support, Erik describes facing severe retaliation, including professional removal, legal pressure, and reputational attacks. What began as a civic duty, he explains, became a multi-year fight for his career, freedom, and constitutional rights. The conversation explores the broader implications of whistleblower retaliation, ideological capture of local institutions, and why transparency and accountability are often resisted at the community level. At its core, this episode is about integrity under pressure — and the price paid by those who refuse to stay silent. If you believe in protecting those who speak up, defending the First Amendment, holding public officials accountable, due process and the right to a jury trial, and safeguarding ethical leadership in public service, Erik Holt humbly asks for your support. His case is currently before the courts under Federal Docket 1:23-cv-01798 in the U.S. District Court for Colorado and 10th Circuit Court of Appeals Docket 25-1159. You can support the fight for justice at https://www.gofundme.com/f/free-speech-retaliation-and-the-cost-of-integrity  or https://www.givesendgo.com/JusticeForHolt .

Ben Rodgers sits down with Baxter Fire Chief Matt White, a Cookeville native who has spent 37 years in emergency services after unexpectedly falling into the field he now loves. Matt shares how growing up in a family of EMTs—and a push from his older brother—led him from working as a mechanic and in a body parts store to volunteering with Putnam County and eventually going full-time in the fire service in 1990. He reflects on how much Cookeville and Baxter have grown, the challenges of staffing a young full-time fire department with just three full-time employees, and the nationwide decline in volunteer firefighters. Matt also talks about the department's 17 current volunteers, the city's growing pains, and his hope to see a second full-time station built in Baxter before he retires. It's an insightful look at dedication, community service, and the future of public safety in a rapidly growing town. Listen To The Local Matters Podcast Today! News Talk 94.1

Every five years since 2001, NFPA has conducted a massive research project known as the Needs Assessment of the U.S. Fire Service. It's a survey that goes out to about 30,000 fire departments across the country with questions aimed at finding out whether the fire service has the resources it needs to accomplish the enormous job we've asked them to take on. The next survey, which is the Sixth Needs Assessment, was sent to departments via mail and email in October, and is due back by February 15. Today on the podcast, we are joined by an all-star panel featuring the president of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the president of the Metro Chiefs, and NFPA's director of research. We discuss the ins and outs of this critically important survey and dive into the "pain points" facing the modern fire service, from skyrocketing EMS call volumes and firefighter burnout to the emerging threats of lithium-ion battery fires and AI implementation.

Alan Styles- 35 years of combination experience. Fire Chief of Dalton Township Fire Department in Michigan. Cadre member with Build Your Culture LLC. When I asked Alan to come on and talk shop he was hesitant at first. He didn't understand why I asked him. When you hear Alan talk the mindset he has towards the fire service is what most Firefighters want to hear coming from their respective Chief's. As Alan states he is definitely a “Unorthodox” Fire Chief but isn't bothered by the opinions of others. Alan's message revolves around accountability, EGO, family, Brotherhood & servant leadership. What I would like for the listeners to understand is at the end of the day YOU have to be able to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself with what you accomplished are you ok with every decision that was made? If not what are you going to do to better yourself and those around you? Alan didn't hold anything back. It was raw & honest and frankly we need more of this within the fire service. IG: papachief1

Live Interview With Erik Holt: Integrity Under Fire   Today, we're sitting down with Erik Holt, a former Fire Chief who stood his ground when faced with corruption, and paid the price for refusing to compromise his oath.   This isn't just a story about a job. It's about integrity in the face of retaliation, and the personal cost of choosing what's right over what's easy.  

20 years of career experience. Fire Chief with the City Of Stockton Fire Department in California. Bryan was actually in the legal field and didn't have aspirations of becoming a Firefighter but felt like he wanted to do more with his life. His sister was a paramedic and mentioned the fire service. And with that notion Bryan became more curious and began to look into what exactly he needed to do to get his foot in the door. Once he stepped inside he fell in love with service and being able to give back to the community. Bryan's mindset and how he views the fire service should be the reason anyone in this profession strives to become Fire Chief. The fire service has these type's Chief's around the country but we need more of them.

35 years of combination experience. Fire Chief of Beaver Lane Fire-Rescue in Marshville NC. Creator, owner & operator of Premier Extrication. Toot didn't have that instant desire to become a Firefighter. It took him several years to decide to apply with Beaver Lane. But once he got on he did any and everything he could to be the best version of himself. Aspirations of going career was a goal Toot set but in life everything we do and experience happens for a reason. Sometimes we don't have a choice, but an opportunity presented itself to Toot he took it and as the phrase goes “Look what God did.” If you know Toot you know he's all in when it comes extrication and I truly hope the listeners can tune into some solid nuggets being dropped.IG: premiereextrication

Send us a textEvery other Wednesday, the HT Mafia brings the heat with a fresh blend of coon hunting tales, creepy encounters, and raw, unfiltered comedy — and this week's episode is no exception.⚠️ WARNING: Rated E for Explicit — listener discretion is advised!In this chilling episode, we head down to Northwest Tennessee for a gripping conversation with a local coon hunter who also happens to be the Fire Chief in his hometown. But this ain't your average hunt story — not by a long shot. Back in high school, he and a buddy experienced something in the woods that still haunts them to this day. It wasn't just strange... it was terrifying. After digging into the details, we're thinking there's a good chance they had a run in with something not quite human. That's right — this could be our first-ever confirmed run-in with a DOGMAN on CHC. But that's not all — he shares more eerie encounters that'll have you side-eyeing the tree line next time you're out with your hounds.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses why he still is unimpressed by the Kansas City Chiefs following their big Sunday Night Football win over the Detroit Lions, whether New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn made a mistake by throwing his full endorsement behind embattled quarterback Justin Fields, what to make of Tua Tagovailoa’s bizarre comments about a lack of leadership in Miami and what it might mean for head coach Mike McDaniel moving forward, and whether we should believe this bombshell report that Adidas played a role in Penn State’s decision to axe head coach James Franklin on Sunday. Later, J-Mac closes the show with his Best Bets for the Monday Night Football double-header featuring the Buffalo Bills vs Atlanta Falcons, and the Chicago Bears vs Washington Commanders.
