Chief Royal Ramey moved 3,000 incarcerated individuals into public service careers through wildland firefighting. Here is exactly how he built the pipeline.SummaryThe Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program is a nonprofit workforce reentry pipeline that has moved over 3,000 current and formerly incarcerated individuals into public service careers through wildland firefighting. In this episode, Donald Thompson sits down with Chief Royal Ramey, a 12-year firefighting veteran, 2024 TED Fellow, and the program's co-founder, to examine how a fire line became one of the most measurable career pathways in the United States. After serving six years in prison, Ramey discovered that the discipline and identity structure of wildland firefighting provided what the traditional reentry system had never offered. Today his program operates across multiple states, and he is building toward a national model.Episode Long DescriptionChief Royal Ramey spent six years incarcerated before wildland firefighting gave him a framework for purpose, discipline, and leadership that the traditional reentry system had never provided him. As a 12-year firefighting veteran, 2024 TED Fellow, and co-founder of the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program, Royal has built one of the most measurable workforce reentry pipelines in the United States, moving over 3,000 current and formerly incarcerated individuals into public service careers across multiple states.In this episode of High Octane Leadership, Donald Thompson sits down with Royal to examine how California's wildland firefighting infrastructure became an unlikely but highly effective model for workforce equity, legislative advocacy, and community reinvestment. The conversation covers Royal's four-step goal achievement framework, the economic argument for expungement, and what organizational leaders can learn from a culture that trains people to run toward the hardest problems. Housing one person in a California state prison costs close to $130,000 annually. Royal's program routes that same public investment toward a six-figure career that generates tax revenue, reduces recidivism, and creates measurable community financial stability."The most destructive conditions produce the most qualified leaders," argues Chief Royal Ramey, 2024 TED Fellow and co-founder of the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program.Key Talking Points:Wildland Firefighting as a Workforce Reentry Model: The Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program fills a structural gap that exists in 13 states: incarcerated firefighters who serve on the line have no guaranteed pathway into the profession after release. Chief Ramey's nonprofit directly addresses that gap, with documented career outcomes for over 3,000 participants across California and partner states. Expungement as an Economic Investment, Not a Social Handout: Housing one person in a California state prison costs close to $130,000 annually, while a wildland firefighting career generates tax revenue, reduces recidivism costs, and creates a multiplier effect on family and community financial stability. Four-Step Goal Achievement Framework for High-Stakes Environments: Chief Ramey's Four-Step Goal Achievement Framework asks individuals to define the goal, confirm the desire behind it, build a concrete blueprint, and execute without exception. Developed on the fire line, the framework now drives career transition, leadership development, and organizational culture work inside Ramey's program. .Wildland Firefighting Discipline Applied to Business Leadership and Retention: The mindset that produces effective incident commanders maps directly onto corporate retention challenges. Radical accountability, mission clarity, and a culture where every team member understands their contribution are not firefighting-specific virtues; they are the conditions that reduce turnover in any high-performance organization. Climate Crisis and Incarcerated Firefighters as a National Workforce Imperative: Western wildfire frequency is increasing, and the incarcerated firefighter population represents a trained, available, and deeply motivated labor force. CAL FIRE workforce planning and state emergency management agencies have only begun to formally invest in this population as a climate infrastructure asset.Published: May 21, 2026 | High Octane Leadership with Donald Thompson, Episode 184.Chapter Markers0:00 - Intro: Chief Royal Ramey01:40 - From Fire Camp to Public Service: The Journey Out of Incarceration03:30 - Co-Founding the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program05:00 - How Chief Ramey's Four-Step Framework Moves People from Incarceration to Public Service07:15 - How Wildland Firefighting Converts a Criminal Record into a Public Service Identity10:00 - Focus on What You Can Control: The Leadership Mindset That Changes Everything12:00 - Firefighting as a Lifestyle, Not a Nine to Five14:40 - Legislative Advocacy and the Case for Expungement18:00 - Why Expungement Costs Less Than Incarceration: The Economic Case for Second Chances20:00 - What It Feels Like to Change 3,000 Lives23:00 - Why Purpose-Driven Leadership Produces Lower Recidivism Than Job Placement Alone27:45 - What Scaling the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program to 13 States Actually Requires30:00 - How the Prison-to-Public-Service Pipeline Works and What Other States Can Replicate32:00 - From Fire Camps to the Daily Show and Jeff Bezos: What Notoriety Did for the Mission35:30 - Closing: Chief Ramey's Legacy and Magic Wand MomentAbout the GuestChief Royal Ramey is a 12-year wildland firefighting veteran, 2024 TED Fellow, and co-founder of the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program, a nonprofit workforce development pipeline recognized by CAL FIRE and California workforce development agencies as one of the most effective reentry-to-public-service models currently operating in the United States. After serving six years in prison, Ramey built an organization that has guided over 3,000 current and formerly incarcerated individuals into careers in wildland firefighting and public service. His advocacy contributed to the passage of California AB 2147 (signed September 2020, authored by Assemblymember Eloise Reyes) allows formerly incarcerated firefighters to petition to have their records expunged and pursue state fire certifications for the first time. Ramey has appeared on The Daily Show, discussed the economics of second chances with Jeff Bezos, and spoken internationally on the argument that people who have survived the most destructive conditions are frequently the most qualified to lead during a national climate emergency.Resources:Donald Thompson LinkedInDonald's Books: https://donaldthompson.com/books-resources/Chief Royal Ramey LinkedInForestry and Fire Recruitment Program: [Link]Workplace Options 2026 Psychological Safety Study: https://psychsafety.workplaceoptions.com/resource/the-coe-2026-psychological-saf...

"The presence of God is stronger than the absence of your strength."

“The Unknown is the new normal” ist der Titel von Harald Fortmanns neuem Buch. Im Podcast spricht er mit Erik über die Trends im Recruiting, über häufige Fehler von Unternehmen im Hiring Prozess und die Auswirkungen von Corona auf unseren Arbeitsalltag. Harald R. Fortmann ist seit 1996 in der digitalen Wirtschaft aktiv. Er gilt laut Fachmagazin W&V als einer der best-vernetzten Manager der Branche und wurde als Unternehmer und Lehrbeauftragter mehrfach ausgezeichnet. Seit 2013 hat Fortmann sich der Personalberatungsbranche verschrieben und konnte so seine Leidenschaft für Menschen und ihre individuellen Stärken mit der Begeisterung für das Digitale verbinden. Bei der Personalberatung five14 ist er insbesondere für die Beratung von Konzernen und marktführenden mittelständischen Unternehmen zuständig, die Führungsgremien neu besetzen möchten.

Following Jesus is an ongoing and active decision.

Joel lays out upcoming plans for Five14, both for now and for the near future.

This week joel discusses how many times we should forgive and extend mercy.

Joel shares a Christlike perspective on how to handle the millions of opinions in the world today.

As Christians we are called to show love and kindness to others. Let's speak the Christian language and show others the example of Christ.

Be an agent of joy so you can spread kindness and refreshment to those that needed it.

This week Five14 takes time to celebrate all of the moms and important women in our lives.

God didn't want bad things for us. In fact, He mad all things good. This doesn't mean that we won't suffer and see hard times but through those times we will emerge stronger and better because of them.

We are not alone throughout the chaotic times in our lives. We serve a living God that is always by our side.

If loving people is synonymous with loving God then let's take this time to build better relationships and be more like Christ.

This week we celebrate Five14's 10th birthday and the last service before we move into our new church!

Joel and the band get you hyped just in time for Christmas at Five14!

Wenn man von Digitalisierung spricht, dann geht es oft um die richtigen Mitarbeiter, die die Prozesse in den jeweiligen Unternehmen anstoßen und leiten. Doch wo findet man die? Und wie? Harald Fortmann und seine Personalberatung five14 helfen beim Lösen dieses Problems. “Die Besetzung neuer Mitarbeiter macht erst dann Sinn, wenn man als Unternehmen weiß, wohin man will.” Wer die Digital-Strategie isoliert ohne die Unternehmensstrategie erstellt, begehe dabei einen großer Fehler, so Fortmann.

Harald Fortmann ist geschäftsführender Gesellschafter der Personalberatung five14 und seit fast 25 Jahren in der Digitalwirtschaft tätig. Ich spreche mit ihm über den Wandel in der Personalarbeit und warum New Work ernstgenommen werden sollte. Wie sehen die Jobs der Zukunft aus und welche Bereiche sind von der Digitalisierung gefährdet?

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision. Today at Five14, 12 lives were changed! John speaks about the beautiful truth that Jesus has done for us.

Today on the Multiply! Podcast, Brian is joined by Joel Kovacs, Lead Pastor of Five14 Church in New Albany, OH. They talk about a variety of things including the church and student ministry leadership culture at Five14 and how they are ministering to transgender and homosexual people who are coming to their church.

To support ministries that reach people in places we aren't and in ways we can't.

Our goal for our kids should not be well rounded but well founded.

Christ is better at putting you together.

If Jesus is who He says He is, then I will follow him.

It’s not about the end result, it’s about the process.
