In this episode, Nole and Kevin sit down with Captain Scotty McKnight, currently serving at the "Fire Factory" (FS 16) in the heart of Los Angeles County. Scotty brings a unique perspective to the fire service, having transitioned from a professional baseball career to the front seat of a fire engine.

The guys dive into the parallels between the elite environments of professional sports and the fire service, the mental game of visualization, and the weight of "failing" on the big stage. Scotty shares raw insights on his journey through the minor leagues, the grit required for 16-hour bus rides, and why he believes young firefighters must seek out "busy" houses to truly learn the craft.

Big thank you to My Epic and Facedown Records for the use of their song "Hail" in our podcast!
