Get Motivated FD
Hosted by Brown · EN
Leadership in the fire service is needed not just when it’s convenient, but at all times. No matter what’s on your collar, stop thinking about you and start thinking about the team! This podcast is in my opinion a motivation for firefighters to get off the couch and improve their skills, leadership, department, and team. We all can get complacent, so check out my podcast to get up and do work!
