Marcos Orozco was born and raised in Texas and became passionate about fitness at the age of 12 when his Dad bought him his first gym membership. He played sports throughout high school and ran track for ASU (400m and 4x400m relay) where he got a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science/Kinesiology. Marcos has been a career fireman for 17 years and has been training and working out in gear for about 15 + of those years. His passion for fitness as it relates to performance on the fire ground is what he is passionate about and what he is best known for. He has spent the past decade plus training “tactical athletes” and helping them become the best version of themselves, making them an asset rather than a liability. Marcos is the owner of Hardknox Sunday where he has programs designed to help firefighters improve their fitness as it relates to performance on the fire ground. He is a big believer in “you are either an asset or a liability, there is no in between.” Marcos is co-founder of The Crucible with John Spera and Logan Broberg. The Crucible is a 24hr class where the participants will do 12 in full-gear workouts over that 24hr period where a standard must be met under the required time frame. This class is meant to help build that mental fortitude and resiliency, and to share with the participants what has worked for us, the cadre. We will be focusing on building the participants up and helping them work through those dark moments. In addition, The cadre will be doing the workouts with the participants, and embracing the shared suffering. Marcos is also co-owner of True Grit Training, where they provide realistic “live fire” trainings as well as RIT and Search and Rescue classes in the Denver metropolitan area. Marcos has been an instructor for over 11 years and travels all over the country teaching HOT classes and giving his lecture “Improving fire ground performance through fitness and mental fortitude” as well as being on several podcasts in the last couple of years. @hardknoxsunday Sponsorship: @southwest_fire_academy Editing: @bradshea Marketing: @m.pletz Administration: @haileygreenfitness Partnership: @firefighternationhq Mid-roll Sponsor - @firehumorcompany Some of his fire conferences include: Ft Lauderdale Fire Expo (Ft Lauderdale, FL) Fire Shows West (Reno, NV) FDIC (Indianapolis, IN) The Castillo Way, (Houston, TX) Mile High Fire Conference (Denver, CO) Mid America Fools OKC Conference (OKC, OK). Some of his podcasts include: Behind The Shield Podcast Tailboard Misfits Podcast Fit to Fight Fire Podcast Student of the Game Podcast Undisclosed Agents Podcast The Sheepdog Society Podcast Some of his “HARD” accomplishes include completing the Dunes 100-mile Ultra Race (2019-FL), completing the Georgia Smoke Diver Program at age 45 (2022-GA), running Pikes Peak Ascent (13.3 miles up to 14,115ft of elevation) in bunker coat/pants (2023-CO), and completing OBT 6 (2024-FL). Challenging himself and others is what Marcos is passionate about, and he enjoys showing others what is possible. Marcos moved from South Florida to Colorado in January of 2023 and has been working for Brighton Fire District where he was in the Training Division for all of 2024 teaching at The North Area Fire Academy (NAFA 14 & 15), sharing his knowledge and passion. Marcos believes you must do HARD things you do not want to do daily; you are only as good as what you are currently doing, and what are you currently doing to make people around you better. “It is our responsibility to show them what is possible.”
Josh Graham is a second-generation career firefighter with over a decade of experience in a large, fast-growing urban fire department in the Greater Toronto Area. In addition to his firefighting career, he has more than ten years of paramedic experience, having worked in both urban and rural settings. Josh spent two years in the Training Division as the Technical Rescue lead, where he developed programs across multiple disciplines to support his department's transition toward mandated certification. His programs focus on NFPA standards while ensuring crews are equipped with the necessary skills, training, and experience to operate effectively. He has also played a key role as a Lead Instructor in several Recruit Academies. In late 2023, Josh returned to the Operations Division and is currently assigned to a station housing both an Engine and a Technical Rescue apparatus. He continues to contribute to the Training Division as an Acting Training Officer and serves as a Lead Instructor for Rope and Water Rescue, Engine Operations, Search and Rescue, and Firefighter Survival. A firm believer in the historic culture of the fire service, Josh values camaraderie, craftsmanship, and the traditions that define the profession. While modern shifts emphasize safety culture and individualism, he believes that the strength of the fire service lies in its shared commitment to training, continual skill development, and the mentorship of future generations. His passion for the job is fueled by the enthusiastic passing of knowledge, experience, and tradition. Outside of work, Josh enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, as well as hunting, fishing, camping, mountain biking, and practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Josh curates a firefighting-focused Instagram page dedicated to sharing relevant training content and fire service culture. His goal is to showcase the confidence and effectiveness of aggressive firefighting, often misunderstood as reckless or dangerous—while highlighting its critical value in saving lives and property. @dumpdawg_jr Sponsorship: @southwest_fire_academy Editing: @bradshea Marketing: @m.pletz Administration: @haileyfirefit Partnership: @firefighternationhq
2nd generation Firefighter with 27 years of combination experience. Captain with The Training Division for Little Rock Fire in Arkansas. From an early age Bo watched his Grandfather operate as a volunteer. There were times when they were completing a task and a call comes in and his Grandfather would stop what he was doing to run the call and from there Bo knew he wanted to do just that. Bo applied everywhere he could around him until Little Rock called and gave him what he always dreamed of. From there he was surrounded with individuals he wanted to emulate but also learned from those that weren't into it as we would like. Climbing through the ranks an opportunity presented itself within the training division and Bo took it. Bo believes in accountability, standards, sweat and suffering. One of my favorite quotes from Bo is “I've never regretted a workout.” IG: engine.actual
Send us a textGrowing up in Nebraska, I developed a love for God, community, and service. Directly out of high school, I decided to forgo an opportunity to play NAIA college football and pursue an Associate in Fire Protection Technology, from Southeast Community College.

I had the privilege of serving for ten years as Political Director, and Executive Officer for the IAFF Local 3066. In my career, I have had the pleasure of serving in many training avenues locally, and at the state level.

You don't have to do much to become one of the best-known people at the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office – just get shot three times (once in the neck), and fight through surgery, physical therapy, fears of painkiller addiction, and the monsters in your own mind to emerge stronger than ever as a powerful example of how to not only survive but thrive through adversity. Corporal Matt Aitken is best known for that harrowing incident of March 12, 2023, when a routine track turned deadly and he was saved by his K-9 partner Taco and Sergeant Jake Viano. But no one is defined by a single day. Matt is a drummer who wanted to go pro before answering the siren call of law enforcement. He's a former K-9 handler who is now putting his tactical mind to work in our Training Division. He's a family man whose strong bond with his daughter reminds him there is light in the darkest days. Above all, he's a man who understands that it is okay to be broken, to admit that you don't always know how to navigate what the world throws at you. Join us as we talk with someone who has learned how to use his pain, and now hopes to help others who battle PTSD, sadness, or loss.Email us your questions and suggestions at lets56@pcsonet.comFollow PCSO: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTubeFollow 56: InstagramPCSO WebsiteMental Health For Heroes

DTFF: The Volunteer Firefighter Podcast - Down To Fight Fire
E240 - Interview With Randy Townley From Training Division in Texas This week we welcomed Randy Townley from Training Division in Crowley Texas onto the podcast. We discuss their programs , why so many Canadians choose Texas, and the differences in fire attacks. WHO WE ARE As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires. WHAT WE DO We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe! WHY WE SHARE Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It's during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it's needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

Cultural competency training is an essential component of all behavioral health training curriculums and often a requirement for continuing education for licensed providers. But how often do those training opportunities include “military service” in the mix of cultural dimensions of identity that influence or shape an individual's experience? Not often enough. In this episode we are joined by Dr. Shannon McCaslin as we explore the importance of keeping “eyes on” military culture to better understand how it can and should inform our EBP work. Come hear how military culture can influence your patients' perspectives of their symptoms and treatment options level of, engagement, adherence, and treatment outcomes.

In Doctrine and Covenants 21:1, the Lord commanded the Prophet Joseph Smith that the Church's records and history should be kept "continually."

He is the guest on this episode of the Church News podcast.

Thoughts on Record: Podcast of the Ottawa Institute of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy is among the most effective, empirically supported treatments for posttrauamtic stress disorder. Importantly, there is a growing literature around the neuroscience of PE which has important implications for the delivery of PE. Drs. Sheila Rauch & Carmen McLean, join us for a review of some of the core themes in their book Retraining the Brain: Applied Neuroscience in Exposure Therapy for PTSD. In this discussion we cover: why Drs. Rauch & McLean wanted to write this booka brief overview of Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapycomparing & contrasting the theoretical mechanism underlying PE vs. research findingsconsidering the window of tolerance in PE through the lens of applied neuroscienceimpact of length of session on treatment from a brain lensthe relative (and interactive) impact of in vivo &. imaginal exposurewhether tailoring the clinical approach (e.g., PE vs CPT) is necessary depending on the client's presentation the potential utility for PE in addressing moral injurya consideration of whether PE could be experienced differently within the brain depending on the client's stance to the treatment i.e., high vs. low willingnessthe provision of PE through virtual platforms best practices around combining medications with PEPsychedelic/MDMA assisted psychotherapy - caveats and opportunitiesnovel augmentation methods for PE avoiding clinician burnout/vicarious traumatization in the context of PE Comments or feedback?

Being a firefighter, a first responder, is a job full of stress. Stress from running alarms. Stress from training. Stress from not sleeping at work (and at home). All this stress can compound the stress associated with everyday life and lead to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicidal ideations. The stress from this job and life in general is real as are the physical and mental toll that compounds over time. We're not talking about a specific traumatic event that happens once in a lifetime. We are talking about exposure to stress for significantly long periods of time…sometimes for 10, 20, 30, or more years. The first thing we as firefighters need to recognize is that our stress has a significant impact on us. The second thing is that we need to have enough awareness and courage to do something about it; we need to be ready to either offer help or ask for help whatever the case maybe. On this episode we sit down with Dr. Judith Long and Driver Engineer John Giacoma to discuss the problem of suicide in the fire service community. The conversation is raw, vulnerable, and a bit dark. Be that as it may, this is the first step to bringing this topic into the light allowing us to accept it as a normal reaction to the compounding stress that builds upon us through our everyday life both inside and outside the fire station. We also discuss the signs and symptoms of the stress related disorders that lead to suicide and most importantly the steps you can take to get help. Come sit down at the Kitchen Table and have a listen. Be ready to learn, be ready to give help when someone needs it, and be ready to ask for help when you need it.

Also, we would be more than happy to come to your station to sit down at your kitchen table and talk about whatever is on your mind. Thank you all for listening and we hope to hear from you soon.

After 21 years in Suppression with Brampton Fire and Emergency Services, Mark has transferred to the Training Division. In addition to firefighting, he brings years of experience in practical and competitive auto-extrication, and knowledge and wisdom gained from his time as an Honour Guard Member. As the Honour Guard Assistant Director for the past four years, he hopes to continue ensuring that all members understand the deep and meaningful history and tradition of their profession. A recent battle with cancer has reframed his perspective and reinvigorated his love for life and the fire service. Originally from Milton Ontario, he and Diane, his wife of 27 years, raised their two boys where they still reside in Waterdown. @mungobrewer@markbrewer Editing Credit: @bradshea

Some of the best lessons we learn in the fire service come from the kitchen table. We have debates, discussions, and even sometimes arguments about where we've been, where we are, and where we're going. Regardless of the topic or how heated the debate, one thing is for sure…many times these lessons are the ones we remember. We gain different perspectives that allow us to get a more well-rounded view of the topic(s) of the day. Some from our newest member and many from our older ones. Today we sit down with retired Lieutenant Jose Garcia. Jose remains one of the CSFD's most respected and beloved leaders even after retirement. During our conversation we hear a few stories about who he learned the most from and how he views being a leader in our organization. As always, come sit down at the Kitchen Table and have a listen, be ready to learn, and enjoy as we talk shop with our friend, Jose Garcia.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Robyn Walser for a rich discussion on how clinicians can get better at conceptualizing cases on the fly. We talk about moving from technical to functional, from fidelity to competence, the importance of contextual factors, and most importantly, balancing the need to be present with our clients with our hearts as well as our heads. Come hear Dr. Walser's actionable intel about improving case conceptualization through understanding the purpose of behavior (the clients and ours), the client's desired trajectory and the importance of understanding the psychological inflexibility processes that keep clients stuck.Robyn D. Walser, PhD, is a psychologist and Staff, National Center for PTSD, Dissemination and Training Division, at the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System.Dr. Walser is currently developing innovative ways to translate science-into-practice and is responsible for the dissemination of state-of-the-art knowledge and treatment interventions in her position at the VA. She is an expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and has been doing ACT trainings both nationally and internationally since 1998. Dr. Walser is also involved in several research projects investigating use of mindfulness and ACT in Veteran populations.Resources mentioned in this episode:(33:25) contextualscience.org (ABCS) “case conceptualization” https://contextualscience.org/search/node/case%20conceptualizationThe Heart of Act: https://contextualscience.org/publications/the_heart_of_act_developing_a_flexible_processbased_and_clientcentered_pracCalls-to-action: For example:Subscribe to the Practical for Your Practice PodcastSubscribe to The Center for Deployment Psychology Monthly EmailRegister for an upcoming ACT Workshop: https://deploymentpsych.org/training
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Robyn Walser, a warm-hearted soul with so much wisdom to share, about ways we can change our relationship to painful life experiences in order to move more freely in our lives. We talk about how living life with vitality, rather than focusing primarily on getting rid of certain symptoms, can help us meet painful emotions like anxiety and grief without shame and self-blame. We also discuss how mindfulness and compassion can help us meet human experiences with acceptance, so that we can still go on to create meaning and value in our lives even with significant stress, trauma, and loss. Importantly, we talk about ways we can not only clarify our own values and distinguish which values are truly ours from those that we've been conditioned to uphold, but also navigate conflicts in values, especially in the context of relationships and the broader systems in which we operate. We end with a brief mindfulness exercise, illustrating one way our joy can help connect us to the core values that matter to us most.

My FREE 4-part video series called "The Science & Soul of Building Resilience" can be found here(https://unique-trader-1040.ck.page/0a3a623dbd). This series is meant to help you enhance key pillars of resilience that can help us all navigate inevitable life stress with more ease and skill. I chose to focus on these specific pillars of resilience because they can help us address some of the most common struggles I see in my clients – anxiety, self-doubt, lack of direction or sense of self, disconnection from larger meaning & purpose, and self-criticism.

Grizzly bear hunting was banned in BC and now there are efforts in place to ban the wolf hunt. Will it stop there, or is all hunting under attack? Predator hunting, trophy hunting, and “the social licence to operate” is what this episode is all about. Travis speaks with Steve Hamilton and Greg Rensmaag of the Wild Sheep Society of BC and the Talk is Sheep Podcast about this emotionally charged topic and what is the best way to work in harmony with nature and to pragmatically protect our natural resources. https://www.wildsheepsociety.com/actnow/ Follow us: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/silvercoreca Newsletter - https://silvercore.ca/signup/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/silvercoreinc/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Silvercore/ Follow our Host Instagram: @ Bader.Trav - https://www.instagram.com/bader.trav/ Learn More about Silvercore Silvercore Club - https://silvercore.ca/courses/silvercore-club/ Online Training - https://silvercore.ca/online_courses/ Other Training & Services - https://silvercore.ca/courses/ Merchandise - https://silvercore.ca/shop/ CORE Training Management Resources (TMR) - https://bcwf.coretmr.ca Blog Page - https://silvercore.ca/blog/ If you have a story that would be of value to the Silvercore audience, or know someone who does, email us at podcast@silvercore.ca.

In this episode, I interview Mick Moffitt, owner and operator of Training Division Fire Academy. Mick shares about growing up through tragedy and how it eventually led him to a career as a firefighter. Mick has been married for over 20+ years to his wife Julie and has 2 sons and 1 daughter. After 17 years with the fire department, Mick took an early retirement to focus on training and building the character of future firefighters around the world.Mick shares about a tragedy that he faced as a child at age 6 that completely changed his family, but had an impact on his life to eventually become a firefighter. During his youth, Mick had struggles and got into trouble, but it wasn't until he was in his 20's with the encouragement from his wife, Julie, that Mick finally became a firefighter. After several years and advancing up through the ranks, Mick felt that it was time to reboot and make a change. Even after stepping away from the fire department, Mick said it was difficult to know that he had left his identity at the fire station and how it took him a few years through a journey to be free from that false sense of who was felt he was.Mick then started Training Division fire academy in the Fort Worth, Texas area that provides online training as well as the hands on aspect for students to get the hands on training and experience of being in a fire station environment. They were the first to provide a full online course of this kind and is recognized as the #1 privately owned training academy in North America. They also work with 9 local high schools, several departments and Colleges to provide training and education for future firefighters.The basis behind the training school that Mick explains is the "6 Pillars of Professional Firefighting Character Traits". Mick shares how God laid on his heart the verse Proverbs 9:1 and the vision of 7 pillars and this was the foundation of helping build strong characters in future firefighters.Link:http://trainingdivision.com/The Small Church Media PodcastThere are many podcasts for church media, but this one is for the small churches!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify
