This Friday's newsletter idea:

Humans need a call to action.
You don’t wake up and decide to be a hero.
You must have a challenge to overcome.

This Friday's newsletter topic:

You can't opt-out of the fight.
You’re either fighting your fears,
Or, you’re fighting yourself.

When you're working towards a goal, remember the following:

People we know are more comfortable with who we are in the present than who we know we can become in the future. Thus, they have an interest in seeing us stay where we are – maintaining the status quo.

That does not mean that you should necessarily write people off, but you should use that as a filter next time someone in your life gives you unsolicited advice.

This Friday's newsletter topic:

Deliberate small decisions over time leads to big change.
Deliberately ignoring small problems over time leads to big problems.
That "small problem" you're deliberately ignoring is far more destructive than you realize.

A large part of leadership is doing your best to help those who are where you once were...

So, I'm starting a weekly newsletter.

If you've ever had a difficult experience and later thought, “I wish someone would have told me about that earlier.”

Or, maybe you hit some milestone achievement but later thought, “If I would have known ‘X’ that would have been way easier.”

Well — you’re not alone.

Sign up to get my weekly newsletter where I talk about insights, ideas, information, and quotes I wish someone would have told me sooner.

Good news!

I appealed the decision on my most recent video. It was manually reviewed and is now unrestricted!

That said, I wanted to say thank you to those of you who shared it and reached out.

Anyways, I believe this is an important topic as it seems many in our society, not just fire/EMS, are actively discouraged from building resilience and encouraged to be weak in the face of all kinds of adversity.

I'll probably make more videos about this.

You're stronger than you know, and more resilient than you think.

Have a happy Friday and a great weekend!
