Today, we bring you stories from the frontlines of labor advocacy, featuring leaders from the fire service and nursing who are fighting for safety, respect, and fair treatment. Segment 1: Protecting Ohio's Bravest (OAPFF) We are joined by Jon Harvey, President of the Ohio Association of Professional Fire Fighters (OAPFF), and Steve Stein, the OAPFF Director of Governmental Affairs. They discuss the current legislative landscape in Ohio, the critical work being done to protect firefighter pensions and safety standards, and the importance of political action in maintaining the resources first responders need to save lives. Segment 2: Nurses United in Maine (MSNA/NNU) In our second segment, we speak with Terry Caron, an RN at Northern Maine Medical Center (NMMC) and member of the Maine State Nurses Association (MSNA), an affiliate of National Nurses United (NNU). Terry shares the details of their recent battles at NMMC, including a decisive union recertification vote and a significant settlement following Department of Labor citations against the hospital. We discuss what this victory means for patient care, safe staffing, and the power of collective bargaining.

Joined this week by the one and only Chris Watson.  It was an interesting conversation for sure! We dove deep into transferring knowledge, not just skills. The big question: Are we really doing enough for the next generation of firefighters? Mentoring and how much he learned from his mentors and how that impacted him to pass it on. Chris is also passionate about sharing knowledge beyond the firehouse, especially with the public - and  why fostering relationships with all stakeholders matters more than ever. He brings a unique perspective on how small, seemingly minor interactions can compound over time into massive wins for any organization. And of course, as always, the audience questions drove the Scrap! Pull up. Let's scrap.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore a quiet but deeply unsettling experience many first responders live with: you're physically present, still doing the job, still showing up—but internally, you don't recognize yourself anymore (Amazon Affiliate). You're not broken. You're not weak. You're not failing. What you may be experiencing is identity erosion—a gradual loss of connection to the parts of you that existed before survival mode became your default operating system. This episode unpacks why this happens, how the nervous system and trauma exposure reshape personality, and what it takes to reclaim your sense of self without abandoning the strength the job built.

Volunteer firefighters are the backbone of the U.S. emergency response system, but since 2008, nearly 200,000 volunteers have left the fire service, a drop of almost 25 percent. To make things worse, calls to fire departments have increased about 70 percent since 2008, leaving the firefighters who remain to do much more with much less. Despite all of this, little research has been done to find the causes of this crisis and what to do about it. But that is starting to change. Today on the podcast, I am joined by Joe Maruca, a board member of the National Volunteer Fire Council, and Ken Willette, the executive director of the North American Fire Training Directors. Both men recently worked with researchers on a massive new study looking at what effects training requirements have had on volunteer fire department recruitment and retention. During the interview, we discuss the many factors that have caused volunteers to leave the fire service, and how volunteer departments are adapting to their new reality. We also talk about what is being done to help chiefs and communities bring more volunteers into the fire service.

For decades, we were sold a lie: get good grades, be smart, keep climbing—and success will magically follow. But in a world of nonstop disruption, AI, political chaos, and careers that don't come with ladders anymore, IQ and EQ alone aren't cutting it. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Liz Tran, executive coach, former venture capitalist, and author of AQ: A New Kind of Intelligence for a World That's Always Changing, to unpack the intelligence that actually determines who thrives when everything keeps shifting: AQ (Agility Quotient). AQ isn't about being perfect, flexible to the point of burnout, or endlessly accommodating. It's about how well you adapt to change, uncertainty, and the unknown—without losing yourself in the process. Liz breaks down the four AQ archetypes (Firefighter, Novelist, Astronaut, Neurosurgeon), how proactive vs. reactive change impacts your life and career, and why adaptability is no longer optional—it's survival. This conversation will change how you think about intelligence, leadership, confidence, and what it really takes to succeed when the rules keep changing mid-game. Bottom line: Intelligence isn't just what you know—it's how you respond when what you know stops working. Thank you to our sponsors! Sex is a skill. Beducated is where you learn it.

SummaryIn this episode, the guys welcome back Greg Rudiger (Resilient Another Day / The Radcast) for a real, needed conversation about mental health in the fire service—and why we must start talking to recruits and new members early, not just after 15–20 years of calls, stress, and life piling up. The crew covers how peer support, resiliency tools, spirituality, and the “power of the pause” can help firefighters stay in the fight—at work, at home, and into retirement.Greg returns (first appeared on Episode 75) for Episode 145.Matt sets the tone: firefighters are killing themselves—and we need to stop acting like it's not real.The crew agrees this topic should be in fire academies nationwide, not treated as an afterthought.Patreon updatePatreon is growing fast: 12 members (with a recent surge of new sign-ups).The team discusses possible perks like watching the podcast live during recording via Riverside.New subscribers shout-outsTyler Carson (free member)Tyler AdamsJesus & SophiaSocial FD (paid supporter)MerchNew flagship merch drop: shirts/hoodies/hats/long sleeves + specialty designs.Discount code mentioned: “Episode144” for 15% off (limited time).SponsorsUnkie's SeasoningsBurn Box / FD Collectors ClubPlus love for Blue Collar FiremenGreg breaks down the shift toward a proactive approach:If firefighter survival training is 75% prevention, why isn't mental health training the same?They're teaching recruits common language + tools before they ever hit the street:Stress continuum (blue/green/yellow/orange/red)Breath work / mindfulnessWork-life balance, sleep, nutrition, exercisePeer support resources and appsThe goal: normalize “Cap, I'm not okay” and make it safe to say.Brian brings up the tension:Some firefighters reject the mental health conversation as “victim mindset.”Greg responds: it's not about weakness—it's about leading with love, listening, and meeting the human.Also discussed: the “weaponization” concern—people claiming mental health issues to avoid accountability—without dismissing anyone who truly needs help.Greg's point hits hard:You don't carry one tool on the rig—you carry a toolbox.Same for wellness: breath work might work today, but tomorrow it might be running, faith, calling a buddy, stretching, ocean time, etc.The theme: sometimes you have to sit in the uncomfortable long enough to move through it.The crew emphasizes not being afraid of silence—on the mic and in real life.The pause helps you:respond instead of reactrecognize what you're feelingBrian shares scripture and the Footprints poem to underline the spiritual dimension:Faith isn't “religion as performance”—it's spiritual grounding and support.Greg ties it into wellness: the spiritual pillar is often the missing piece.Shared theme: we're not meant to carry it alone.Freddy raises a huge point:Retirement can be dangerous for mental health—loss of structure, identity shift, isolation.Greg explains what they're doing:retiree peer support groupsintentional check-ins (personal phone/email, not “department HR”)spouse inclusionmonthly breakfasts and continued connectionMatt addresses a correction from a listener regarding PAH exposure discussion from Episode 144:Clarifies the study measured urinary metabolites, not dermal skin measurements.Reinforces the key takeaway: SCBA use (even for engineers in the hot/warm zone) reduces exposure.Comment: How are you “par checking” your people?What tools are you using—peer support, faith, exercise, breath work, counseling, retirement groups?If you're struggling: reach out to someone (your crew, peer support, or the podcast team).Merch: https://the-cool-fireman.myshopify.com/collectionsGreg / RAD: resilientanotherday.comSocial: @stay.rad10 (IG/TikTok)Greg RudigerFounder: Resilient Another Day (RAD)Co-host: The RadcastOffers: resiliency training + help building peer support frameworks (“can't be a prophet in your own town” support)

This episode is the relationship therapy session nobody asked for but everybody needs. We kick things off with a feel-good (and slightly awkward) conversation about gratitude in relationships — how saying “thank you” for doing the dishes somehow feels hotter than candlelight and roses, and why couples forget appreciation faster than they forget Netflix passwords.Then we pivot to the most important scientific debate of our time: the most dateable professions. Doctors? Firefighters? Baristas who remember your order AND your trauma? We break down the fantasy vs reality of dating different careers and why some jobs sound sexy until you realize their schedule is chaos and they haven't slept since 2017.Of course, it wouldn't be February without talking about the cultural phenomenon that is the Super Bowl — a holiday where football fans, commercial critics, snack enthusiasts, and people who just show up for the halftime show all unite in one living room. With the 2026 halftime show headlined by Bad Bunny, the hype is massive, the opinions are loud, and the internet is debating everything from music to culture to the existence of rival “All-American” halftime streams.So what does Super Bowl Sunday actually look like for different people? Hardcore fans, casual watchers, people who only care about commercials, and the friend who loudly says “I'm just here for the vibes” while eating 70 wings.

Knuckles and Zak are back behind the mic pressing play on some of the loosest listener yarns yet.Silly Saturday #9 is full call-in chaos - random voicemails, outback stories, and the kind of stuff you only hear when real legends send in their “proper true yarns.”This week the boys react to:• a firefighter protecting a property near Dalby that turns out to be the world's weirdest “bird sanctuary” (aka the infamous bro-tel)• a remote nurse with a classic roadside outback mishap• a Thailand party trip that turns into a full kidnap/extortion scare• heaps of banter, roasting, and zero filter from Knuckles & ZakIt's unpredictable, unedited, and exactly what Silly Saturday is meant to be - mates listening to wild stories and talking absolute rubbish.Perfect for the drive, the shed, or a laugh at the gym.

Joined this week by the one and only Phil Jose.The first time Phil came on the show, I was out of the country and had Rob Fisher step in as guest host.  I enjoyed listening to that Scrap so much and knew I had to bring Phil back for another round. We talk a lot about tactical decision games, and the lessons he has learned after building and running them for years. The pitfalls to avoid and the best ways to go about setting up your own. Of course, as always the direction of the discussion was driven by the amazing questions from the audience. Let's scrap. You already know this one's gonna hit.

11 years of combination experience. Senior Firefighter on Engine & Ladder 82 for the City Of Hardeeville Fire Department in South Carolina. Initially his plan was going the route of law enforcement but his dad mentioned to Phillip about becoming a volunteer Firefighter instead. He gave it a go and that's all he needed to know this was where he belonged. What I appreciate about Phillip and our conversation is how he discusses the topic of burnout. Whether your volunteer or career burnout most definitely exists and it's important to understand the signs and symptoms before you lose sight of what truly matters in your life. As always each and every guest drops gems and nuggets for those listening to hopefully pick up on.

Special Guest: Scott Jennie | Firefighter Cancer Support NetworkIn this powerful and timely episode, the crew sits down with retired Captain Scott Jennie, National Training Program Manager and California State Director for the Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN). This conversation dives deep into the realities of occupational cancer in the fire service, the cultural shifts needed to protect firefighters, and the life-saving resources available when the unthinkable happens.

Chief Chris Workman has spent over two decades serving others — first in the fire service, then in policing, and now as Chief of Police in Cheswold, Delaware. But behind the badge, the rank, and the leadership roles, he carried a private battle that almost cost him his life. In this episode, Chief Workman shares openly about hitting rock bottom, the phone call that changed everything, and his mission to break the stigma around mental health through The Deep Blue Project and his book Silence Behind the Blue Wall. We explore why leaders must delegate and trust their teams, even when ego and fear make it difficult, and why “check-the-box leadership” is harming departments across the country. Chief Workman talks about the importance of testing early for cancer, knowing you're not alone in your struggles, and remembering that you are a human being — not a machine. His honesty exposes the gap between the advice chiefs often give and the advice they actually follow, and he offers practical wisdom for leaders and agencies that want to create cultures of honesty, care, vulnerability, and real support.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Welcome back to OVTLYR University, where we break down the biggest mistakes in options trading and trading in general. If you're serious about leveling up as an investor, this session is a must-watch. We're not talking theory. We're talking real trades, real numbers, and the kind of risk management that separates amateurs from professionals.The core theme in this video is simple but powerful: less risk wins long term.One of the most misunderstood tools in options trading is rolling. A lot of traders think rolling is about squeezing out more profit. It's not. Rolling is a de-risking move. The objective is not to make more money. The objective is to remove risk from the table. Period. When you roll correctly, you can lock in gains, reduce exposure, and dramatically improve your return to risk profile. Giving up a few percentage points in upside to eliminate massive downside exposure is not weakness. It's professional trading.We walk through real examples showing how reducing risk by 70 to 80 percent while barely sacrificing profit can transform your expectancy. That's how you build durability in your account. Not by chasing lambos. By cutting risk.But that's just the beginning.This session dives deep into the most destructive habits traders fall into and how to eliminate them:✅ Holding losers too long and changing your plan mid-trade✅ Ignoring gamma risk as expiration approaches✅ Trading illiquid options and getting stuck with no exit✅ Having no exit plan and relying on hope✅ Selling options as “income” without understanding expectancy✅ FOMO, panic selling, and revenge trading✅ Trading the right strategy at the wrong time✅ Ignoring journaling and failing to track what actually worksWe also break down the 90-90-90 rule and why most traders implode early. The difference is discipline. Professionals follow a plan. They don't rewrite rules in the middle of a trade. They don't double down to “get it back.” They don't treat the market like a paycheck.Risk management is the edge. Not prediction. Not ego. Not fundamentals alone. Price pays. Expectancy matters. And if your system does not build losses into the model, it will eventually collapse.There's also a deep dive into gamma risk and why options near expiration can become dangerous fast. Delta accelerates. Risk explodes. And if you're not managing time properly, your trade can go from controlled to catastrophic quickly. Rolling out in time before that gamma spike is often the difference between controlled exposure and a zero.This is about thinking like a professional. Firefighters have SOPs. Surgeons follow procedures. Elite traders operate the same way. If your trading plan only works when everything goes perfectly, it's not a plan. It's a fantasy.OVTLYR is built around structure, risk reduction, and stacking probabilities in your favor. You do not need a 90 percent win rate. You need positive expectancy. You need discipline. And you need to treat trading like a business.If you're tired of emotional trades, random entries, and inconsistent results, this session will shift your perspective.Subscribe for more advanced options trading education, risk management frameworks, and professional-level trading psychology from OVTLYR University.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Firefighters are trained to run toward danger — but too often, their own health is what's at risk. In this episode of the Plant Strong Podcast, Rip sits down with fellow firefighter Andy Schaefer of Avon, Ohio, whose journey into plant-based eating began with a life-altering decision: donating one of his kidneys to his brother-in-law.Determined to be as healthy and resilient as possible, Andy adopted a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle more than five years ago — and the results were undeniable. Faster recovery, dramatically improved biomarkers, more stamina on the fireground, and a renewed sense of purpose. Today, Andy is leading from the firehouse kitchen, fueling his crew with plant-strong meals that leave them feeling energized, focused, and ready to perform when the alarm sounds.From zucchini fritters that changed an entire shift's perspective on food, to the deeper reality that nearly 85% of fire calls are lifestyle-related medical emergencies, this conversation is about service, brotherhood, and reclaiming health — one plate at a time.Key TakeawaysPeak performance starts with the fork. Andy's plant-based diet helped him recover quickly from kidney donation surgery and outperform expectations on physically demanding fireground drills.Leadership doesn't require a badge or rank. By cooking plant-based meals at the firehouse, Andy inspired his crew to eat more plants, feel less fatigued, and perform better on shift.Firefighters are tactical athletes. Like professional athletes, first responders must be ready at any moment — and nutrition plays a critical role in stamina, breathing control, and long-term health.Sadly, nearly 85% of fire calls are lifestyle-related medical emergencies and not fires, at all.Episode WebpageWatch the Episode on YouTube

Home inspection is one of the most popular second careers and side businesses for first responders, and for good reason. In this episode of The Ride Along Home Inspection Podcast, we talk with a working firefighter and home inspector about why firefighters, EMTs, and other first responders often excel as home inspectors. We break down how skills from emergency response—risk assessment, situational awareness, building knowledge, and communication under pressure—translate directly into better home inspections. We also discuss how inspection experience can make first responders safer and more effective in their primary careers. Whether you're a firefighter, EMT, or police officer exploring home inspection as a second career, or a homebuyer curious why inspectors with first-responder backgrounds bring extra value, this episode explains the crossover skills, challenges, and real-world benefits from both sides of the job.

28 years of combination experience. Fire Commissioner with Western Berks Fire Department in Pennsylvania. From a very young age Jared knew the fire service was what he wanted to be apart of. As soon as he hit the age of 15 Jared began his journey starting out as a volunteer and after a few years began applying any and everywhere he could to try and become a career Firefighter. Once he was able to obtain that goal he Jared remained all in when it came to the job. Making sure he remembers why he's there and who he's there for. Mentorship and who you surround yourself with play's a huge factor in how you view the job. Fortunately for Jared he picked up on the good and bad experiences which has shaped him to he is today. A Chief who knows it's not all about him, and does everything he can for the betterment of his department and community. Jared drops a few nuggets along the way in the interview which were spot on. I hope you all enjoy the conversation.

"In 2026, safety isn't a talking point—it's a function of staffing, oversight, and enforceable rules."

At CES 2026 Pepcom, Rescue Retriever introduces a pet safety system designed to help firefighters locate and save animals during house fires. Ryan Tussing and Rusty Tussing (Founder and CEO respectively) explain how the system combines a reflective window decal, a silent strobing smoke detector placed near where pets hide, and a collar-mounted FireTag (that also can hold an AirTag). Together, they guide first responders and even neighbors directly to pets in smoke-filled emergency situations.  Show Notes: Support:      Become a MacVoices Patron on Patreon     http://patreon.com/macvoices      Enjoy this episode?

In this episode of The C-Suite Mentor Podcast, Theresa Cantley shares a focused Leadership Bite for Main Street and founder-led business owners who are feeling stuck as they move into 2026. Cutting through the noise of economic predictions, marketing trends, and external pressures, Theresa brings the conversation back to inside-out leadership. She explains why feeling stuck is often a result of holding onto past mistakes, frustrations, or outdated beliefs—and how that internal misalignment creates overwhelm and hesitation. Drawing from years of experience working with small business owners, Theresa introduces four common leadership styles that show up in Main Street businesses and explores how each one can unintentionally limit growth. This episode offers practical insight and reflection to help leaders let go of the past, simplify their focus, and move forward with clarity and confidence.     Things to Listen For: Main Street / founder-based businesses → comes from the opening passion and background about Main Street businesses (00:01–03:00) External noise, economy, predictions, overwhelm → directly from the section where Theresa talks about 2026 noise, marketing advice, buyer behavior, economy, government, etc. (around 04:00–05:30) "Stuck is a choice" → explicitly stated multiple times in the episode (around 05:45–07:00) Holding onto the past blocking growth → discussed when she explains holding past failures, frustrations, and emotions (06:30–11:30) Misalignment between goals and beliefs → the friction explanation (around 10:30–12:00) Craft Master → exact leadership type explained in detail (13:00–15:00) Firefighter → exact leadership type explained with examples (16:00–18:30) Greatest Showman → exact leadership type explained (19:00–21:30) Idea King / Queen (Visionary) → exact leadership type explained (22:00–24:30) Four reflection questions → directly from the closing section of the episode (25:00–27:30) Letting go to move forward → closing message about releasing the past to step into the future (28:00–31:10)     Shownotes: In this Leadership Bite episode, Theresa Cantley speaks directly to Main Street business owners and founders who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or trapped in survival mode. She explains that while external factors like the economy, staffing challenges, and industry trends may influence a business, real leadership growth begins internally. Theresa introduces four leadership styles she commonly sees in founder-led businesses: The Craft Master – Leaders deeply connected to their craft who stay in the weeds of daily operations and struggle to step into mentorship, delegation, and vision-driven leadership. The Firefighter – Leaders who spend most of their time putting out fires, fixing problems, and managing conflict, leaving little space for strategic thinking or long-term growth. The Greatest Showman – Creative leaders with constant ideas who focus on momentum and appearance while neglecting foundational systems, processes, and execution. The Idea King or Queen – Visionary leaders who understand strategy but try to implement everything themselves, often overloading teams and overcomplicating the business. Theresa closes the episode with four reflective questions—one for each leadership style—designed to help leaders simplify, empower their teams, release past limitations, and reconnect with their core mission.     Final Leadership Reflection Leadership is not about doing more—it's about letting go. By releasing past experiences, simplifying focus, and leading from the inside out, Main Street business owners can move beyond survival mode and create meaningful impact for their teams, communities, and businesses.

Top Stories for January 24th Publish Date: January 24th PRE-ROLL: Kia Mall of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 24th and Happy Birthday to Neil Diamond I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. GCPS cancels weekend activities; no decision made for Monday classes NAME CHANGE: Coolray Field's naming rights are up for grabs; will be Gwinnett Field for now Four dead in shooting at Lawrenceville home; child’s 911 call leads to suspect’s arrest All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: GCPS cancels weekend activities; no decision made for Monday classes Gwinnett County Public Schools is playing it safe this weekend—officials have canceled all activities scheduled for Saturday and Sunday due to the looming bad weather. “The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority,” the district said in a statement. As of Thursday afternoon, no decisions have been made yet about Monday. But the district promised to keep everyone in the loop if anything changes. For now, here’s the deal: All school events and facility use for Jan. 24–25? Canceled. Monday? Still up in the air. Stay tuned, and stay safe. STORY 2: NAME CHANGE: Coolray Field's naming rights are up for grabs; will be Gwinnett Field for now For 15 years, it’s been Coolray Field—home of the Gwinnett Stripers. But now? Say hello to Gwinnett Field. At least for now. Coolray Heating and Air’s naming rights deal ended in 2025, and while the Gwinnett Convention and Visitors Bureau hunts for a new corporate partner, the stadium’s getting a temporary rebrand. Signs are already coming down, including the big one on the outfield scoreboard (a crane’s needed for that beast). The Stripers’ website and new signage will reflect the change before the season starts in April. Meanwhile, Hall’s confident a new sponsor will step up soon. Even so, getting locals to stop calling it Coolray might take time. After all, even the apartments overlooking the field are named “The Views at Coolray Field.” Change is hard, but Hall believes people will adjust faster than they think. “Repetition works. Before long, they won’t even remember what it used to be called.” STORY 3: Four dead in shooting at Lawrenceville home; child’s 911 call leads to suspect’s arrest A tragic scene unfolded early Friday morning in a quiet Lawrenceville neighborhood—four adults were found dead in what police are calling a domestic shooting. It happened around 2:30 a.m. on Brook Ivy Court. Officers arrived after a “shots fired” call and discovered the victims inside the home, all with fatal gunshot wounds. Their names haven’t been released yet, but police confirmed there’d been prior calls to the house. Three young children were inside when it happened. Terrified, they hid in a closet. One of them—brave beyond words—called 911, giving officers the information they needed to respond quickly. When police arrived, the suspect’s car was still in the driveway. K-9 units tracked him to a nearby wooded area, where he was arrested without incident. The children, thankfully unharmed, are now with family. The investigation is ongoing. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - Gwinnett County Public Schools STORY 4: Athea King named executive director of the Suwanee Arts Center The Suwanee Arts Center has a new face at the helm—Athea King, a seasoned arts leader with a knack for bringing people and creativity together. Before landing in Suwanee, King worked at the Woodruff Arts Center, where she juggled everything from managing over 130 trustees to building partnerships and co-creating fundraising events that boosted arts education across Georgia. Her resume? Packed. She’s led gallery merchandising at Spruill Gallery, strengthened artist relationships, and turned their Holiday Art Fair into a record-breaking fundraiser. She’s also held roles at the High Museum, ArtCloud, and more, shaping her into a powerhouse of strategic planning, artist advocacy, and community programming. Oh, and she’s not just an administrator—she’s an artist herself. King’s fine art photography has been exhibited across the Southeast, backed by two Kickstarter campaigns. With a BFA in Photographic Imaging and a heart for collaboration, King’s ready to make Suwanee’s arts scene shine even brighter. STORY 5: Parkview senior earns Legion of Valor Bronze Cross award Candace Elkins, a senior at Parkview High, just earned one of the most prestigious honors in JROTC—the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross for Achievement. And honestly? It’s no surprise. As Cadet Battalion Commander, holding the rank of Cadet Lieutenant Colonel (the highest in her unit), Candace has led with grit and focus. Her leadership mantra? “Focus on your weakness and exploit it until it becomes your strength.” It’s worked wonders, according to First Sergeant Nontron D. Ward, her JROTC instructor. This award isn’t handed out lightly. Out of 300,000 JROTC students nationwide, only a handful receive it each year. To qualify, you’ve got to be in the top 10% of your JROTC unit and the top 15% of your class. Candace? She’s crushing it with a 98.8 GPA, a class rank of 43 out of 731, and a JROTC GPA of 98.5. But she’s not just about academics. She’s also a varsity lacrosse player, a Color Guard Commander, and a community service powerhouse. Dr. Frank Jones, a district coordinator, summed it up: “She’s the kind of well-rounded, high-achieving student the Legion of Valor Committee looks for.” We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: Dumpster fire damages exterior of Dillard’s at Mall of Georgia Wednesday night got a little too heated at the Mall of Georgia—literally. A dumpster fire outside Dillard’s turned into a bigger problem when flames spread to the building’s exterior. It all started around 7:28 p.m., when 911 calls came in reporting the fire. By the time crews arrived five minutes later, the dumpster blaze had climbed up the two-story parapet wall near the loading dock. Firefighters jumped into action, attacking the flames with hoses while teams evacuated the store to make sure no one was trapped inside. Once everyone—about 40 people—was safely out, crews tackled the fire that had spread to a nearby tree and worked to protect surrounding areas. By 7:51 p.m., the fire was under control, though smoke still lingered inside Dillard’s. Fans were brought in to clear it out. The damage? Significant to the parapet wall, but thankfully, the fire didn’t make it inside the main building. No injuries were reported, and medical crews on-site focused on firefighter rehab. Fire officials later ruled the blaze accidental, with the dumpster as the starting point. Dillard’s and mall management were on hand to assist emergency crews as the situation unfolded. STORY 7: Lawrenceville's Natalee Summers honored as Gwinnett Tech's top GOAL student Natalee Summers, an Early Childhood Care and Education student at Gwinnett Technical College, was just named the 2026 GOAL winner—and she’s still wrapping her head around it. A Lawrenceville local, Natalee’s roots run deep in Gwinnett County. Raised in Georgia since she was seven, she credits her family, church, and community for shaping her journey. She’s not just a student—she’s a leader. From serving as a Student Ambassador to organizing a pajama drive that collected over 500 pairs for foster kids, Natalee’s heart is in everything she does. Her path to Gwinnett Tech wasn’t straightforward. Financial worries made a four-year university feel impossible, so she started in Radiologic Technology—practical, sure, but not her passion. Through the GOAL competition, Natalee realized something powerful: her story matters. After graduation, she hopes to work in Gwinnett County schools and eventually earn her bachelor’s in elementary education.

Assemblymember John Harabedian's (D-Pasadena) Mortgage Forbearance Act, has been signed by Governor Gavin Newsom.AB 238, the Mortgage Forbearance Act, provides essential relief to survivors of the Los Angeles Fires by allowing a pause on mortgage payments for up to a year. Fire victims entering into forbearance will not face any penalties or credit damage during the pause in payments. Importantly, the bill also prohibits lenders from requiring lump sum payments at the conclusion of the forbearance period, allowing homeowners to focus on rebuilding.“For months since the fires, survivors have been forced to make two housing payments: one for their temporary rental accommodations and another mortgage payment for a house that either doesn't exist anymore or is uninhabitable due to smoke and ash damage. AB 238 will ease the financial burden that too many families are facing by allowing them to pause their mortgage payments for up to a year while they get back on their feet,” said Assemblymember Harabedian (D-Pasadena).After the fire, Assemblymember Harabedian worked with the Governor to secure initial commitments of 90-day forbearance periods from nearly 400 lenders in California. AB 238 takes effect immediately. If you encounter any difficulties with your servicer, please notify the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) which is charged with ensuring your rights under this new law are upheld. You can also contact Assemblymember Harabedian's district office at (626) 351-1917 for assistance.The Governor's decision has brought us a step closer to recovery.

Joined this week by Groovy himself, Chad Gruver and if you know Chad you know this was an interesting and wild conversation. We discuss Engine work, and how he builds and maintains the culture he desires. We  discuss charities and how a bunch of bad ass seals and bad ass firefighters have done a lot of badass things to make a difference in a lot of lives. Of course, Chad has had his own “Oh shit!  Life slapping you in the face!” type of event… and he dives into the details of his face-to-face battle with cancer at age 52. Of course all of the best laid plans of me and the guest are always beautifully derailed by the awesome questions from the audience and this was no exception!!

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.

Trump and Republicans are joining Democrats in governing as “aristo-populists.” In today's action-packed show, I analyze Trump's housing plan, desire to cap credit card rates, and spat with Jerome Powell over near-zero interest rates through the prism of aristo-populism vs. free-market populism. Aristo-populism is the antithesis of principled governance in that you are swayed by the monied interests at the top of the food chain of policy, sell political access, and then get swayed by perceived public opinion at the bottom to overcorrect. Whereas free-market populism — being for the people — means driving down the middle without any favorable treatment of any one class or industry. I explain exactly how the housing policy fits into the duplicitous dynamic of the arsonist as the firefighter. Also, Trump continues to endorse only candidates who will support data centers rather than those who will actually fight the elites. Finally, there is no better time for a truly independent party and movement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
