WhatMakesUsFire
WhatMakesUsFire is more than a podcast—it's a powerful exploration into the hearts and minds of Firefighters, Civil Service Members, and Active/Retired Military Personnel, as well as everyone who stands beside them. We go beyond the uniforms and titles to uncover the deep-rooted drive that compels these extraordinary individuals to sacrifice themselves for others, even when every single one of them is uniquely different.
In each episode, we’ll dive into their personal stories, values, struggles, and triumphs, revealing what truly fuels their fire. And we’re not just talking about the physical demands of the job—we're tackling the real, raw, and often hidden side of their mental health. We will not shy away from it. In fact, we are committed to shattering the stigma around mental health and speaking openly and unapologetically about it.
Join us as we take the first step toward breaking down the walls, opening up the conversation, and making mental health ok to talk about—for those who serve, and for everyone who supports them.

Joe Short - Piercing The Veil
On this episode of the podcast we have my good friend Joe Short, better/ formally known on social media as VeilPierce.
Joe takes us on a ride with the story of his past and how he managed to grow and learn from it. Diving into his military experience, faith, and personal growth, this mans story is bound to help some who may believe there is no way out. I am very grateful for Joe's candidness and honesty throughout this interview, and I truly hope you take a serious listen to how someone can overcome some of life's biggest challenges.
