I am excited to have Gary Lane join me once again on the Scrap for a conversation that could go in a lot of different directions.Gary has decades in the fire service, has been a state fire instructor since 2008, and is a member of the Brothers In Battle training cadre. He brings a lot of experience to the table, along with practical insight into where we are getting it right and where we could be doing it better.We dig into hit-or-miss leadership and the toll it can take on morale, informal training and drills for busy departments, the lack of quality live fire training, and passion vs. competence.But this is The Weekly Scrap, so you guys know how this works. The live audience and your big beautiful questions have a way of taking the conversation in directions we never planned.

My brother Nick Ledin steps in as special guest host, and I'm a little jealous as he got to sit down with Keith Stakes himself. Nick has spent years digging into civilian rescue data as a contributor to the Firefighter Rescue Survey, helping bring real-world data from thousands of reported rescues into the conversation about search and what that information can teach us about the job.Keith has been right in the middle of research that continues to shape our understanding of the modern fireground. Keith is a Principal Research Engineer with UL Research Institutes' Fire Safety Research Institute and a fire protection engineer whose work focuses on fire service tactics, firefighter safety, and fireground operations.Put these two together and buckle up. Listen in as they dig into NFPA 1700, the data surrounding search and rescue, and how research and real-world rescue data have impacted the fire service.There is SO much information packed into this one.Episode 368 is made possible by our incredible sponsors: Snap-tite Hose - FireStation Furniture - and UL Research Institutes' Fire Safety Research Institute — Visit the dedicated page created specifically for Weekly Scrap listeners, giving you access to some of the best firefighter research and training resources available at fsri.org/weeklyscrap.
In this episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank sits down on Atlanta’s East Side with rapper Real Recognize Rio for a candid conversation about mental health, authenticity, trauma, and finding peace while navigating music and street culture. Rio reflects on growing up around Zone 6 and Flat Shoals, pushes back against misconceptions about the East Side, and explains why peace of mind is essential to his creativity. He shares how music and natural talent helped steer him away from deeper trouble, why he refuses to rely on gimmicks for attention, and how success, social media narratives, and changing relationships have forced him to become more intentional about who and what he allows around him. Rio also opens up about survivor’s remorse and the devastating losses that shaped his life, including losing multiple family members and friends and the death of Scrap on Rio’s birthday. He discusses coping through isolation, getting high, and channeling pain into music, while acknowledging the value of eventually talking through his experiences and prioritizing healing. Big Bank and Rio also explore brotherhood, guidance, unity in Atlanta, and the responsibility that comes with wanting to provide opportunities for the people around you. Rio closes by discussing his album Heal the State (Real Recognize Rio) and clearing the air on a past misunderstanding involving a Duct Tape contract offer, bringing the conversation full circle around growth, loyalty, and moving forward.

Australia’s courts have long allowed judges to consider “good character” references during sentencing, even in child sexual abuse cases. For many survivors, hearing offenders described in court as “good people” or “champions of young people” can be deeply retraumatising and after years of campaigning, the laws are being changed right around the country. NSW changed its laws earlier this year, and this week Victoria announced it intends to do the same. In this episode of The Briefing, we're revisiting Chris Spyrou's powerful conversation with survivor advocate and Your Reference Ain't Relevant co-founder Harrison James - on why these laws had to change, and why he won't stop until the reform goes national.

There's a view Labour's small business policy would give owners more room to grow. The party wants to up the GST threshold, lift the asset write-off, and require big businesses to pay small suppliers faster. It'll cost $1.5 billion and will scrap the current Government's more expensive Investment Boost scheme. Business Canterbury CEO Leeann Watson told Ryan Bridge it's great starting point and would make growth and innovation easier. She says cashflow and compliance are current pain points, which impact what's invested in new assets. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Candace Ashby returns to The Weekly Scrap for a conversation every firefighter needs to hear.

With just 15 weeks until the midterm elections, debates over American jobs and foreign labor are taking center stage. West Virginia Congressman Riley Moore joins to discuss why he believes the H-1B visa and OPT programs act as corporate "scams" that undercut local workers, the GOP's legislative record, and his outlook on the battle for control of Congress. As the battle over immigration enforcement rages on, one mother is refusing to stay silent. Cheryl Minter, whose daughter Stephanie Minter was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant with a long criminal record, is demanding accountability for Fairfax County prosecutor Steve Descano. Minter blames Descano for letting the suspect walk the streets despite more than 30 prior arrests on charges including rape and assault. FOX News Correspondent Bill Melugin speaks with Cheryl Minter about her daughter's case, the national debate over immigration enforcement, and why she started a petition with the Victims Rights Reform Council to recall DA Descano.

Benjamin Martin is coming back to the Scrap, and we've got more to unpack than we'll have time to cover.Benjamin started his career riding the jump seat of a busy urban engine company and recently retired as an Acting Battalion Chief after more than 23 years in the fire service.Many of you know him through EmbraceTheResistance.com, his articles, podcast appearances, or his nationally recognized class, Intoxicated Leadership.Over the last decade, he's challenged many of the assumptions inherited about leadership, helping firefighters at every rank recognize the hidden forces that shape culture, leadership, and performance... and what we can actually do about them.Benjamin isn't afraid to go where a lot of leadership conversations stop. He's willing to talk about the mistakes, the burnout, the difficult conversations, the organizational politics, and the emotional weight that comes with trying to do right by your people. He believes credibility isn't built only on the fireground but rather around the kitchen table, in the hallway, and during the conversations most people would rather avoid.If your ego's flammable... consider this your warning.Some of the rabbit holes we hope to head down include why leaders shouldn't always eat last, why organizations push back against improvement, and why good people quietly stop caring.As always, the live audience helps drive where this conversation goes. Some of my favorite episodes have taken unexpected turns because of the questions and comments coming from the chat.

Joined on this episode by my friend, the one and only Dana Larkin!Dana currently serves as Battalion Chief with Camano Island Fire & Rescue, leading C-Shift while overseeing the department's training division. From starting as a volunteer in 2001 to becoming one of the driving forces behind firefighter development, Dana has spent years building firefighters, officers, and future leaders.Beyond his department, Dana founded the Cascade F.O.O.L.S. chapter in 2019, served four years as Chapter President, and now serves as Treasurer for F.O.O.L.S. International. His passion for the fire service, leadership, and training has made him a respected voice across the country.This conversation is going to be packed, so get your notebooks and pens ready! We'll be discussing what F.O.O.L.S. really stands for, why membership and getting involved matter, and why every firefighter should make it a priority to attend conferences and get outside of their own bubble. We'll also dive into the leadership epidemic of micromanagement, how to build leaders before you need them, why succession planning is often overlooked, and why so many organizations are focused on recruitment while neglecting retention. We'll also tackle how we may be unintentionally creating imposter syndrome in the academy, why hearing the same message from a different voice can completely change someone's perspective, how the Task–Tactic–Strategy model can help develop better officers, and why simply talking to people, sharing ideas, and learning from others can have such a profound impact on both your career and your department. If time allows, we'll also get into lessons Dana has learned from training hundreds of firefighters, leading live-fire instruction, developing cadets, and how his journey through F.O.O.L.S. changed the trajectory of both his career and his outlook on the fire service.As always, the live audience helps drive the discussion, and we gladly head down whatever rabbit hole their questions take us.

Joined on this episode by the one and only Steve Prziborowski, retired Deputy Chief with the Santa Clara County Fire Department who continues to shape the fire service as an instructor with Chabot College and the National Fire Academy. A respected mentor to many, Steve spends much of his time coaching and developing firefighters and officers at all ranks.Steve has spoken across the country, authored multiple career development books, and has become a recognized voice in the fire service on leadership, succession planning, and preparing the next generation of fire service professionals.On this episode, we will get into what it truly means to be here for "them", the people we serve and the people we lead. We will discuss building and maintaining relationships, mentoring, passing the baton to those coming behind us, and why every firefighter is both a leader and a follower regardless of rank.We will also dive into leadership versus management, strategic versus tactical thinking, and why understanding the expectations of the ranks above you matters, even if promotion is not part of your plan. Which will lead us right into promotion... why not everyone needs to promote, and why those who choose that path should do it for the right reasons.The live audience helps drive the discussion and we dive down all the rabbit holes their questions open up!Episode 360 made possible by our incredible sponsors: FireStationFurniture.com - Snap-Tite Hose - and Flame Decon

While his nine-year-old son was fighting stage three cancer, Nick Stevens was driving around buying up scrap tungsten carbide just to keep food on the table. It worked well enough that one day, sitting in the hospital room, his son said to him: “Dad, why don’t you just start your own business and be your own boss?” Today Nick and his cousin Joey run JC Metals, going around the country paying cash on the spot for the carbide piling up in shops. And they refuse to sell a pound of it overseas even when buyers offer them more money to do it. Listen on your favorite podcast app using pod.link. .

Main Points While You Wait, the Price Moves Carbide tooling has gotten expensive. Between the tariffs and China restricting exports, prices have been swinging all over the place. Every machine shop has scrap carbide sitting around, worn inserts and chipped end mills that are useless for precision work but still worth real money as raw material. A lot of shops don’t realize how much. Nick says he walks into places with piles of carbide they’re practically throwing away, not knowing it’s worth $40,000 or $50,000. JC Metals buys it and sells it to a private US processor, one that recently received what Nick describes as an $11 million government grant to buy up as much domestic carbide as possible and keep it in American manufacturing. The major toolmakers all have their own buyback programs too. Kennametal, Sandvik, Seco. They work, but the model is the same: ship your material out and wait on a check for 15 to 30 days. With prices moving the way they are, the number you agreed to when you shipped is not the same number when the check clears. JC Metals shows up with their own scales, weighs everything in front of you, and pays you that day. Cash, wire, Zelle, ACH, whatever you want. The Geopolitics of Scrap China controls about 85 percent of the world’s tungsten carbide supply and has been cutting off exports. Foreign buyers have been approaching American shops directly, offering 30 to 40 percent more per pound to ship the material back overseas. Nick says he outbid one of those buyers last month, knowing he would lose money doing it, because he didn’t want the material leaving the country. Tungsten carbide is a core component of armor-piercing ammunition, from rifle rounds to tank rounds. It’s also used in nuclear weapons casing. Until this interview I knew tungsten carbide was a big deal for manufacturers. I had no idea about the national security ramifications. Changing the Scrapper Stigma My great grandfather was in the scrap metal business. One reason my grandfather went into used machinery instead was that he found the scrap business unsavory, manipulating scales, shady deals. When we had a warehouse it wasn’t uncommon for scrappers to pull up in a truck and steal from Graff-Pinkert. Nick and Joey bring their own scales so there’s no question about the weight. The company name, JC Metals, stands for Jesus Christ Metals, a nod to the faith that carried them through Jack’s illness. Jack Stevens, Nick’s son, is ten months cancer free. Question: What do you do with your scrap carbide?
Ryan Wiggins of Wiggins America is in studio and he's bringing receipts. Democrats have quietly lost more than 275,000 registered voters in the 28 key swing districts Republicans have been tracking since 2020 — and the total Republican advantage in those same districts has swung by a staggering 737,000 voters. The left's answer? Scrap the Electoral College and call it racist. Wiggins dismantles that argument cold — the real reason Democrats want to torch the Electoral College is simple: blue states are shrinking, red states are growing, and the math is turning against them fast. Then Marc and Ryan expose one of the most underreported stories in American politics — the 2020 census was miscounted in a way that handed Democrats four to six House seats they never legitimately won, and nobody was in a position to fight back until now. Plus three more non-citizens just confessed to knowingly voting in federal elections — and Marc suspects that's just the tip of the iceberg. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show firing on all cylinders straight to the finish line.

Joined on episode 356 by firefighter/paramedic and founder of VEST First Responder LLC, the one and only Jake Hecht!!!! Tuesday, May 26th8 PM CSTFrom high school history teacher to pro MMA fighter (3× UFC veteran) and now firefighter, Jake turned a violent patient encounter into a mission, dedicating his career to protecting those who protect others. As a former Army Combatives Instructor and former Lead Defensive Tactics Instructor for the Columbia, Missouri Police Department, Jake has now trained more than 3,000 firefighters and EMS providers across 10 states on practical, field-tested workplace violence survival. On this episode we're digging into: How VEST was born from real calls and why there's virtually no standardized training for violent patient encounters in fire/EMS . Why most de-escalation talk is empty buzzwords and exactly where the line is before physical options kick in. Common admin objections and the culture that treats getting assaulted as “part of the job”.We will also discuss the reporting platform that Jake built to stop sweeping these incidents under the rug - www.firstresponderviolence.com Of coure, we can always count on the live audience to bring the heat with their questions.

https://teachhoops.com/ The biggest mistake we make in high school basketball is letting the team hold a popularity contest in November to elect "captains." More often than not, you end up with the leading scorer or the friendliest senior wearing the title, regardless of whether they have the stomach to enforce your program's standards when you aren't in the room. True Team Leaders aren't elected; they are forged through shared adversity in the "muck and grind" of the off-season. They aren't just the players who speak the loudest; they are the Level 4 Competitors whose daily habits compel the rest of the roster to elevate their game. An effective leader must operate across three distinct spheres of influence. If they only master one, their leadership is incomplete: Lead Self (The Foundation): Before a player can echo your defensive calls, they must own their own execution. They are the first in the sprint, their body language is flawless, and they demonstrate elite Next Play Speed after their own mistakes. Lead Peers (The Bridge): They have the relational capital to pull a struggling teammate aside and deliver a hard truth without causing a fracture in the locker room. They are active Energy Givers. Lead the Culture (The Shield): They protect the program's vision. When a Level 1 "Energy Taker" starts complaining about minutes on the bus ride home, the team leader cuts the counter-narrative down before it can root. Instead of naming two traditional captains and alienating the rest of your upperclassmen, consider implementing a Leadership Council. The Blueprint: Select a representative from each class (Senior, Junior, Sophomore) to meet with the coaching staff weekly. The Benefit: This architecture ensures that the "Standard" is being communicated at every layer of your program. It also provides a clear pathway for younger players to develop their vocal muscles early in their high school careers. It is unfair to demand that your players hold each other accountable if you haven't given them the tools or the vocabulary to do so. In the "Truth Room" (your film study and debrief sessions), train your leaders to use objective data rather than emotional criticism. The Strategy: Teach them to challenge their teammates using the metrics that impact winning, like defensive rotations, deflections, or a drop in the team's live-scrimmage effective field goal percentage ($eFG%$). The Formula: When a leader says, "We need you to pass up that early 3 because our team's $eFG%$ drops by $15%$ when we don't get a paint touch," it shifts the conversation from a personal attack to a tactical standard. Coach's Note: "A quiet locker room after a bad practice is a coach-led team. A loud, corrective locker room where the players are fixing the execution before you even walk through the door—that is a player-led program destined to cut down nets."
