Jeremy welcomes back Chris “The Shimek”, of the @ConversationisVentilation podcast and have a free-flowing conversation about slowing down, unplugging, and reconnecting — with yourself, your crew, and the world around you. From people-watching at the airport to long road trips in his van “Howie,” Shimek shares stories about finding perspective, embracing silence, and making space for meaningful engagement. The two dig into mentorship, mental health, and building camaraderie in and out of the firehouse, all while trading laughs and life lessons. Whether it’s taking the long way home or starting ‘man scouts’ in the woods, this episode is a reminder to enjoy the ride and connect with the people who matter.

👉 Take this conversation back to the firehouse and talk about it. Because when we’re talking about the job, we’re making the job better.

🔥 Thanks for tuning in to this episode of National Fire Radio!

We’re more than just a podcast — we’re a movement, connecting the American fire service through conversations about culture, leadership, tradition, and innovation.
