Set your reminders. 📅 Tuesday, July 14th ⏰ 8:00 PM CST 📍 LIVE on YouTube @ Firehouse Vigilance Jerry retired as a Battalion Chief from the Lewisville (TX) Fire Department after 35 years in the fire service. Throughout his career, he's taught firefighters across the country while challenging them to think differently about the profession. We'll dive into some of the ideas that have shaped Jerry's career, including what "Be Here Now" really means, why every firefighter needs an equity stake in their department, the importance firehouse stories and kitchen table conversations have, how culture is built through ownership instead of obligation, and why Jerry believes firefighting is the ultimate team sport. As always, the audience helps drive the conversation, so get your big, beautiful questions ready, and we'll gladly head down whatever rabbit hole the live chat takes us.
