  • 255: Fire Built: Heat, Cold, and Heavy Swings, with Evan Halquist.
    Dec 29 2025

    Captain Evan Halquist is back for another round, and he's here to announce a new resource that we have been anxiously awaiting here at The Fire You Carry. Fire Built is a purpose-driven set of training protocols designed for the first responder that will benefit anyone who puts them into practice. Follow the links below to learn more.

    When the tones don’t stop going off, how do you show up for your family the next morning? When you're exhausted from all that life throws at you, how do you keep pushing through when you need to? In this episode, Kevin and Nole sit down with Captain Evan Halquist to dive deep into the physiological "reset button" for first responders.

    Evan breaks down the science of recovery, explaining why typical rest isn't enough after a high-cortisol shift. We explore his Bad Night Protocol, the hidden dangers of "forever chemicals" in firefighting gear, and his fascinating experiment in "Anti-Glycolytic" training—proving that strength is the ultimate foundation for endurance. Whether you are a firefighter, a tactical athlete, or a busy parent, Evan’s insights on Fire Built resilience offer a blueprint for thriving in the face of chaos.

  • 254: Chosen for the Crucible: Jon Engle on Loss, Faith, and Fly Fishing
    Dec 22 2025

    In this special pre-Christmas episode, Kevin sits down with Captain Jon Engle of the Colton Fire Department. Jon shares a vulnerable and powerful testimony of enduring a "season of shadows"—losing his grandfather, a fellow engineer, a childhood friend, and his brother in a short span, all while navigating a life-threatening medical crisis with his newborn son.

    The heart of the episode is the announcement that Jon’s nonprofit, Hold the Line Fishing, has officially merged with The Fire Up Program. Together, they are expanding their reach to offer recreational therapy and "tactical pauses" for first responders and their spouses.

  • 253: Ignoring the Mundane at Our Own Peril
    Dec 15 2025

    In this solo episode, Nole dives deep into the tension between the cultural push for men to be extraordinary and the profound value of simply embracing the ordinary—or the mundane—in daily life.

    Inspired by a simple observation about a frantic lemur at an animal park ("He leads a simple life"), Nole explores the idea that while high-achieving goals (like a podcast, an adventure race, or a career milestone) are important, they occupy only a tiny fraction of our time. The bulk of our lives is spent on the ordinary, often overlooked tasks.

    Using the concept of the Time Wheel (a pie chart of your daily hours), Nole argues that if your stated priorities don't align with where you actually spend your time, you may be missing the most important opportunities for growth and fulfillment. He challenges men to approach the mundane—from laundry and cooking to exercise and even brushing teeth—with excellence and gratitude.

    This focus on doing the small things well is presented as a form of discipline that "bleeds" into the rest of life, strengthening relationships and fueling the pursuit of bigger goals. Ultimately, it’s about finding the balance to ensure that the pursuit of excellence doesn't turn us into slaves of busyness, robbing us of time for peace, reflection, and truly appreciating life.
