In this powerful episode of The MisFitNation Show, host Rich LaMonica welcomes Erik Holt—a former Fire Chief who took a stand for integrity, free speech, and the Constitution. After uncovering election misconduct in his Colorado community, Erik refused to destroy evidence and was fired in retaliation. Despite 18 years of federal service and transforming his fire department into a thriving team, he found himself battling not just local corruption—but the very system designed to protect him. Now, Erik is preparing his appeal to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, fighting for First Amendment rights, ethical leadership, and accountability in public service. His story raises urgent questions about whistleblower protections, constitutional freedoms, and the real cost of integrity.

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. Fire Chief's who actually care about their employees, their well being, training, education, performance and overall remembering what it's like to be a tail board Fireman. Yet humble enough to remember the organization isn't just about them and allowing Firefighters to be just that…..Firefighters plain and simple.

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.

16 years of career experience. Apparatus Operator on Squad 18 with The Colony Fire Department in Texas. Growing up Bryce was involved in sports and had aspirations of possibly going professional until an injury sidelined that career track. Luckily for Bryce his quarterback had a father who was a Fire Chief and asked him if he wanted to attend fire school with him. Bryce figured why not and went. Once he got enrolled he fell in love with the job instantly and never looked back. During his career Bryce's department suffered a Line of duty death (LODD). I would like the listeners to pay attention, digest and process Bryce's experience and the discussions taking place in this interview. Bryce came on preaching the good word and I truly hope we all can self reflect from this interview. IG: campbellfire2
