About this listen

A firefighter podcast with 2 main purposes:

1.) To have fun, and possibly educational, conversations with retired and veteran members of the fire service from the South Louisiana area. The goal will be to preserve some of the history of the fire service and have them share funny stories and interesting experiences.

2.) To talk to other members of the fire service about more serious topics in the fire service. Leadership, training, fitness, discipline, service and any other topics that the guest would find important to share.

We hope you enjoy the conversations as much as we enjoy making them.

  • Dragon's Den Podcast Ep. 30 (Thai Guidry) From the Corps to the Call
    Jan 20 2026

    Welcome back to another episode of the Dragon's Den podcast. Today we have Thai Guidry. Thai is a company officer in Wilmington, North Carolina. He was born and raised in Lafayette Parish and he's also my cousin in law. I've known him for over 20 years and Thai has always been a guy that I've looked up to, even 20 years ago. He's the classic stoic marine. Chiseled jawline, dashingly handsome and fit as hell. But more than that, I know him as a man of good character. He's humble, quiet and treats his family with respect. He's graduated NC Breathing School and consistently signs up for hard things. We had many more things to talk about, so I fully expect a part 2, maybe in December.

  • Dragon's Den Podcast Ep. 29 (Joel Miller) Who IS Chief Miller?!?
    Dec 29 2025

    Welcome to another episode of The Dragon's Den Podcast. Today are joined by none other, than Chief Joel Miller, more commonly referred to as "Chief Miller". Chief Miller runs one of the largest fire social media pages on planet earth and works as a federal fire Chief here in central Louisiana. He's avoided all podcast appearances for the last 12 years, so it was actually shocking that he told me yes. We talked social media, recruiting, training, conferences, culture, how to treat rookies and more. We appreciate Chief for stopping in and we hope that he doesn't become a stranger. We hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening.

  • Dragon's Den Podcast Ep. 28 (Meg and Aaron Kowal) Culture, Training and Firefighter Marriage
    Dec 10 2025

    Welcome to another episode of the Dragon's Den podcast. Today we sit down with the power couple, Aaron and Meg Kowal. Aaron is a captain on the special operations truck in St George, Louisiana and Meg is currently the Public Education Chief for the same department, although she also worked on the floor at St George before moving into that position. They are both 2nd generation firemen and Meg started her fire service time just outside of New York State. They are both dedicated and passionate individuals and we discussed everything from culture, training, the LIFT conference, their marriage and more. We really appreciate their willingness to come on and share some of their journey with me.
