  • Episode 138: Not All Heroes Wear Turnouts with Lex Lancaster
    Dec 31 2024

    As always, my New Year episode features someone who supports and inspires me and is unrelated to the fire service. Lex Lancaster and I have been working together since 2018, when she designed my original logo and website and started working behind the scenes supporting my business. I'll let her introduce herself below!

    It’s so nice to meet you, I’m Lex!

    I’ve created my dream career by marrying my passions in life. I’m a physical therapist turned digital entrepreneur, and I’m living my best life helping other health and wellness business owners get shit done in their businesses.

    I co-owned Renegade Movement and Performance, a 6-figure sports and pelvic health physical therapy clinic in New England, from 2020-2023 and was primarily the clinic manager after decreasing my treatment hours. So, all that backend stuff you wish you didn’t have to do? That’s my specialty.

    It’s my pleasure to welcome you to my corner of the internet, where I have helped countless health and wellness business owners level up and get shit done. I’m here to help clear your plate of the tasks you hate.

    So what, now what?!?

    That thing you think is only a dream? It can be a reality. Take back the authorship of your life story!

  • Episode 137: There are No Basics with Major Cort Smith
    Dec 24 2024

    I had the pleasure of meeting Cort Smith at the OKC Fire Training Academy when I stopped in one day to speak with Damon Glass. Cort is one-of-a-kind, and I'll never forget his statement about research: "If there's a better way to do something, I want to hear about it!"

    Did Cort and I become best friend nerds at that exact moment? I think so!

    Cort Smith holds the rank of Major at the OKC Fire Department and is currently assigned to the Fire Training Division. Smith has been with OKC Fire since 2008 after serving in the US Air Force for 12 years. Cort believes there are no basic vs. advanced skills- there is only the best way and therefore endeavors to teach all academy recruits accordingly. Major Smith believes in pushing recruits to work beyond their perceived limits to the point that they know no limits and are ready to go out and save lives. If you want to be one of the few who wears the gear that others can’t wear, goes the places others can’t go, and save the lives that others can’t save, he and his team will get you there.

    So what, now what?!?

    There is ONLY the best way.
