This week on the show I sat down with Nick Laser to learn more about what it really means to be a firefighter in our modern world.

Nick is a husband, a father, a friend, a firefighter, and an engineer. After school, Nick went to work as an electromechanical engineer before a life changing event showed him there was a different path he should be on.

During the episode, Nick shares his story of change and growth, as well as his thoughts into modern American finances and how that affected his life decisions. We discuss the transition from engineer to firefighter, tools firefighters use, maintaining physical fitness, and more.

It's a great conversation full of laughter and insight and I can't wait for you to hear it! Leave a like and follow so you never miss a new episode!

Until next time, let's talk about it!

This week on the show I chat with Dave Schneider.

Dave has lived an adventurous life and has many stories to tell!

During his time as a Marine, Dave was able to travel the world, seeing amazing places and meeting fascinating people. After leaving the service, Dave explored opportunities in private security while also receiving his ordination and pastoring several churches abroad.

It is a great conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

A huge thank you to Dave for his time this week!

This weeks conversation with Tammi Collier was a fascinating look into how the little choices in our lives shape so much.

Tammi came from a technical laboratory technician background into the world of being a mother and a wife. She managed her home in conjunction with her husband who was often away due due to being a firefighter.

Despite the challenges they faced, Tammi remained anchored in her faith and ever joyful through all of life's chaos.

I so enjoyed getting to sit with her for a bit and reflect on her life and some of the lessons she has learned over the years.

Thanks to Tammi for sharing her time with us, I cannot wait until the conversation.

Until then, let's talk about it!

This week on the show, Cameron Ward came and shared his perspective on current events and an in depth look at being a professional pilot.

Cameron decided to pursue aviation while in college. After achieving his own private certification, he continued on to achieve his certified flight instructors certification. After teaching for a few years, he had the opportunity to branch into the the world of being a professional private pilot, a role he is currently still enjoying.

On the show we discuss how the current government shutdown has been impacting the aviation industry these last few weeks and how pilots all over are feeling that.

We discuss stories from Cameron's past, amazing places he has been able to travel since becoming a professional pilot, and what it is really like to be on an open radio with Air Traffic Control.

From his childhood days living in Puerto Rico to his career as an engineer—and ultimately discovering his true passion for teaching—Matt has consistently pursued knowledge and personal growth in everything he does.

A heartfelt thank you to Matt for joining me on the show and being so open with everything he has gone through and how God is continuing to work in his life.
