What would you say if you had five minutes with the version of yourself from ten years ago?

In this episode, we get honest; no polish, no highlight reel. We talk about the lessons that didn’t come from textbooks or promotions, but from mistakes, hard calls, broken expectations, and moments that forced growth.

The kind of advice you only earn through time, humility, and experience.

This episode is for the younger version of us, and for anyone standing where we once stood, thinking they have to have it all figured out.

If you’re willing to listen to the hard truths now, you might save yourself years of learning them the hard way.

Pull up a seat. This one hits close to home.

In this episode of From the Cab, we take a hard look at attitude: how it shapes the culture of a crew, the effectiveness of a leader, and the trust of the people around us.

The right attitude can elevate a shift, steady a team under pressure, and turn adversity into growth. The wrong one? It can poison morale, kill momentum, and hold everyone back.

This isn’t about fake positivity or motivational clichés. It’s about ownership, self-awareness, and understanding that your attitude is either part of the solution or part of the problem.

Because in this job, and in life, you don’t control every situation.

But you always control your attitude.

In today’s fire service, the kitchen table isn’t the only place conversations happen anymore—they’re happening online, loud, fast, and often without context.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the phenomenon of Facebook firemen and what it represents in modern fire culture.

We talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly, as well as public criticism, pile-ons, and armchair quarterbacks.

This isn’t an attack, and it’s not blind praise. It’s a real conversation about accountability, professionalism, and remembering that there are real firefighters and real families behind every post, video, and comment.
