Many know that Tucson Fire Chief Chuck Ryan is a staunch advocate for firefighter health and safety, but he's also a big believer in giving a little grace. Leadership is challenging, so our default assumptions shouldn't be that leadership just doesn't get it. After all, Chief Ryan says, “No fire chief comes to work and says, ‘How can I mess with my people today? How can I make their lives uncomfortable and miserable today?'” Ryan offers insights from his years in a variety of leadership positions as well as lessons learned from one of the most challenging calls of his career – a 2021 shooting he describes as, “the worst of circumstances handled in the best of ways.” Plus, we dig into all of this: The power of a good relationship with the local police chief; the switch from lawyer to firefighter and his “do-over” fire service career move; and the fireboat mishap that left Ryan in treading water in the Potomac River.

Pink Concrete describes himself as someone who ‘adds pink touches to concrete music.' This can be heard in his productions and his style of mixing, as he is not afraid to sprinkle some light-heartedness into the otherwise rather serious genre. Heads-down, moody techno with a sliver of brightness and a playful attitude is what he brings to the table. Originally from Istanbul, his interest in music began in high school, where he began his education in production and mixing. In 2015 he moved to Prague, where he has stayed ever since. The underground electronic music scene in Prague is full of life and creativity, and his contributions include a small underground party series called Kave from 2020-2021, a club night series called Anormal from 2020-2022, and most recently hereandthere, which curates overnight happenings through sound, light and space in temporary, one-off venues. He also hosts a bi-monthly club night at seminal club Ankali, called Pinkies, which already saw legendary pioneers step into its infamous booth. Pink Concrete released his first EP titled “I Hate Millennial Architecture” in May 2022 on Children of Tomorrow Records, including remixes from Magna Pia and Arthur Robert. He released his second EP with Bipolar Disorder in 2023 summer, with remixes from Matrixxman and Lindsey Herbert and subsequently started his own imprint hereandthere in 2023s fall. His most recent release is his third EP on Ben Sims' Hardgroove including remixes by Fireground and VIL.

Mike Daley is, in my eyes, a consummate firefighter. If I included his bio in these show notes, you would see multiple pages!

He teaches to create well-learned and highly capable firefighters. In this episode, Capt. Daley reviews his very successful classes that he recently taught at the 2023 FIREHOUSE® Expo in Columbus OH. One class was so large that he and the students had to move to a larger room in the facility. Not unexpectedly, he received numerous kudos from the firefighters and officers who attended. We also discuss what he calls, “Fireground Strategies: Survivability, Suppression and Stabilization. What does he mean with these terms? Tune in and listen. Whether you are a career, volunteer or paid-on-call firefighter, you will learn from Capt. Daley in this episode. And you will be a smarter and safer firefighter. You can email Capt. Daley at either www.KilltheFlashover.com or email him at fspceducators@gmail.com. Please help us to help our Brothers and Sisters in dire need!
