🔥 "Fires first, everything else second." 🔥

This week, we welcome Jeremy Donch, founder of National Fire Radio, to the kitchen table! Jeremy is an advocate for the fire service, leadership development, and preserving the traditions of firemanship while adapting to the future. With 30 years in the fire service, he shares his unfiltered thoughts on leadership, firehouse culture, and staying engaged in the job.

💥 In This Episode:
Losing Love for the Job – How to recognize burnout & get your passion back
Leadership Isn’t Just Theory – You can read about it, but you have to do it
Respecting the Firehouse – The difference between a firehouse & a playground
The “Guy” in the Firehouse – Why we’re losing the informal leader that holds the crew together
Firefighting Comes First – Stop the distractions; stretch a line, put the fire out

🚨 Plus, Jeremy shares stories about his Halloween costume winning first place, his love for New Jersey delis, and how his inner circle has changed over the years.

🎙️ As always, we wrap it up with our Hot Wash, where Jeremy answers some rapid-fire questions:
🍕 Favorite Pizza Topping? (Spoiler: It's sausage & hot peppers)
🛫 Dream Vacation? (Maui—because who doesn't love paradise?)
🥪 Best Sandwich? (Jersey deli classic—the old #5!)

This episode is PACKED with fire service insight, hard truths, and a whole lot of laughs. Whether you're a rookie, senior man, or chief, there’s something in here for you!
