The player is loading ...
Ready to light the fire of wellness in your life? As we wrap up Season Two of All Clear Firefighter Wellness, take a moment to reflect on the journey we've undertaken together. From welcoming vibrant voices like Dr. Jill Joyce and Ryan McKay to gaining insights from seasoned fire chief Ray Allen, our episodes have been packed with valuable information and inspiration. We've explored the nuances of mental and gut health, shared exercise insights with Aaron Zamzow, and received wisdom from Roger Sutherland down under in Australia. Each conversation has enriched our understanding of holistic wellness, ensuring firefighters not only survive but thrive in their demanding roles.
As we stand on the cusp of a new year, our mission remains steadfast: to enhance firefighter well-being by focusing on mental health, nutrition, exercise, and rest. We've revamped our website and launched a YouTube channel, offering more ways to engage and grow. Now, we invite you to be an active part of our community. Whether it's catching up on past episodes, sharing your feedback, or even leaving us a voicemail, your involvement is crucial. As we continue this journey, let's support each other and stoke the flames of wellness together.

00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:20.827
Hey, welcome to all clear.
00:00:20.827 --> 00:00:21.888
Guess what?
00:00:21.888 --> 00:00:23.830
We're at the end of season two.
00:00:23.830 --> 00:00:26.835
Yes, it's the end of 2024.
00:00:26.835 --> 00:00:31.129
We're all getting ready to take a nice well-deserved vacation for a couple of weeks.
00:00:31.129 --> 00:00:36.488
We'll be back, don't worry, but let's talk about 2024 for a minute.
00:00:36.588 --> 00:00:38.773
This year we have added video.
00:00:38.773 --> 00:00:40.283
Get to see my beautiful face.
00:00:40.283 --> 00:00:43.231
We've added a YouTube channel.
00:00:43.231 --> 00:00:44.674
Wow, that was a big one.
00:00:44.674 --> 00:00:49.067
We're still figuring out what we're doing with that and, guys, trust me, it ain't easy.
00:00:49.067 --> 00:00:55.307
The other things that we've done we have totally revamped allclearpodcastcom, our website.
00:00:55.307 --> 00:00:57.472
We've even made coffee available.
00:00:57.472 --> 00:01:02.588
Yes, all Clear Coffee is there, and boy, it's a dang good cup of coffee too.
00:01:03.289 --> 00:01:04.753
Who have we talked to this year?
00:01:04.753 --> 00:01:12.472
We've talked to folks like Dr Jill Joyce, ryan McKay, the super chef, chief to chef, that is.
00:01:12.472 --> 00:01:27.962
We've talked to Ray Allen, one of our own, who is a very well-seasoned fire chief that has shared his experiences from a band of brothers and what we can apply to that when we work with our companies and those that are with us Also.
00:01:27.962 --> 00:01:30.310
We've had the opportunity to discuss mental health.
00:01:30.310 --> 00:01:32.126
We've talked about gut health.
00:01:32.126 --> 00:01:40.010
We've talked about exercise with Aaron Zamzow, also had a personal friend of mine, roger Sutherland, on from Australia.
00:01:40.010 --> 00:01:40.540
Guess what?
00:01:40.540 --> 00:01:42.207
You're going to see him again real soon.
00:01:42.941 --> 00:01:49.013
Just so many people have contributed to make this such a wonderful podcast and so educational.
00:01:49.013 --> 00:01:54.472
Our goal has always been to improve the wellness of firefighters.
00:01:54.472 --> 00:02:01.609
Now, the North Carolina Firefighter Cancer Alliance we've always worked at we realize that it's a much broader throw than that.
00:02:01.609 --> 00:02:03.826
We have to think about our mental health.
00:02:03.826 --> 00:02:06.548
We have to think about what we're eating, how much we sleep.
00:02:06.548 --> 00:02:13.626
We have to focus on all of these things if we're truly going to be the best we can be.
00:02:14.586 --> 00:02:16.790
Now, how can you help us?
00:02:16.790 --> 00:02:18.955
I don't like to ask for money.
00:02:18.955 --> 00:02:20.782
I don't like to ask for support.
00:02:20.782 --> 00:02:24.568
It's not in my wiring, but you know what To do this.
00:02:24.568 --> 00:02:28.014
It takes fuel to make it happen.
00:02:28.014 --> 00:02:30.784
So let's talk about a few simple things you can do.
00:02:30.784 --> 00:02:43.745
First thing you can do you can go to your podcasting platform of choice Apple, google, whatever, spotify, heck, even go to YouTube, to our channel, leave a rating.
00:02:43.745 --> 00:02:49.526
I hope we deserve five stars, because we're really trying hard over here, guys, but tell us what you think.
00:02:49.526 --> 00:02:53.229
The second thing you can do, and that's absolutely free.
00:02:53.229 --> 00:02:55.187
It doesn't cost any money to do that.
00:02:55.187 --> 00:02:59.512
The other thing you can do is go to allclearpodcastcom.
00:02:59.512 --> 00:03:03.701
This is our website, boy, we've got everything over there.
00:03:03.701 --> 00:03:07.625
If you want to buy some of that all-clear coffee, just hit the banner at the top.
00:03:07.625 --> 00:03:10.326
Boom, you will have it delivered right to your front door.
00:03:11.048 --> 00:03:14.550
Now what if you want to learn about some past episodes?
00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:16.312
Maybe you just discovered us this season.
00:03:16.312 --> 00:03:21.616
We've got all of our past episodes over there so that you can go listen catch up.
00:03:21.616 --> 00:03:25.230
Maybe there's something you want to listen to a second time.
00:03:25.230 --> 00:03:28.164
Maybe there's a dad joke hidden in there somewhere that you want to be able to tell your kids.
00:03:28.164 --> 00:03:28.687
Guess what.
00:03:28.687 --> 00:03:30.472
You can go back, you can listen.
00:03:30.472 --> 00:03:37.590
But also, while you're there, at allclearpodcastcom, there is a little microphone button down at the bottom.
00:03:37.590 --> 00:03:39.687
If you click that, guess what?
00:03:39.687 --> 00:03:43.062
You can leave us a voicemail, and we really want to hear from you.
00:03:43.062 --> 00:03:45.548
In fact, we might even play you on the air you never know.
00:03:46.248 --> 00:03:49.014
But ultimately, guys, we need to hear from you.
00:03:49.014 --> 00:03:55.909
Did you know that only 5% or less of our listeners are actually subscribers?
00:03:55.909 --> 00:04:01.323
We need to change that and we really need your help in doing that, guys.
00:04:01.323 --> 00:04:09.329
We really want to keep doing what we're doing and we understand that money's tight for everybody.
00:04:09.329 --> 00:04:10.331
Times are hard.
00:04:10.331 --> 00:04:12.647
It's expensive to put gas in your truck.
00:04:12.647 --> 00:04:15.609
It's not cheap to put food on the table for the family.
00:04:15.609 --> 00:04:17.706
You got to buy clothes for the kids.
00:04:17.706 --> 00:04:22.052
We totally understand, because we do the same thing here at All Clear.
00:04:22.940 --> 00:04:26.771
But ultimately, if you can help us out, go to our Patreon.
00:04:26.771 --> 00:04:30.367
It's linked right there at our website, allclearpodcastcom.
00:04:30.367 --> 00:04:38.846
Even a small one-time donation, even a reoccurring $5 a month donation, will do wonders for us.
00:04:38.846 --> 00:04:46.516
We do this for our community and, ultimately, for our first responders.
00:04:46.516 --> 00:04:58.411
We do this because it's important and each and every one of us need to improve individually, whether it be our health, our mental health, it might even be our leadership skills.
00:04:58.411 --> 00:05:04.810
We're here to help as best we can and coming up in 2025, we've got some new folks that will be with us.
00:05:04.810 --> 00:05:12.689
We'll be talking more about mental health, leadership, all of those things, but we're trying to make it a little bit more exciting.
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:17.192
I know sometimes just listening to me drone can be pretty rough, but guess what?
00:05:17.192 --> 00:05:20.470
We're going to try to have some new voices on here, new people to talk to.
00:05:20.470 --> 00:05:24.428
That will make it more of a two-sided conversation at times.
00:05:24.428 --> 00:05:29.100
Talk to that will make it more of a two-sided conversation at times, but you know what, guys?
00:05:29.100 --> 00:05:35.805
We really appreciate you taking time to listen to All Clear.
00:05:35.805 --> 00:05:37.391
Ultimately, this doesn't exist if you don't listen, and we appreciate it.
00:05:37.391 --> 00:05:42.846
We have the privilege of being able to come to you through your headphones, through your car audio system, whatever.
00:05:42.846 --> 00:05:48.687
We have a privilege to do that and you choose to let us do that, and we never want to betray that trust.
00:05:48.687 --> 00:05:50.872
We thank you for letting us do it.
00:05:51.252 --> 00:05:57.523
We're going to take a few weeks off here so that we can rest, recoup, recharge and be ready to go all new for season three.
00:05:57.523 --> 00:06:07.502
This year, we've laid down 50 episodes we have gone through, we've released coffee, we've updated our website, we've got a YouTube channel.
00:06:07.502 --> 00:06:10.819
There's a lot of exciting things we've already done, but guess what?
00:06:10.819 --> 00:06:14.447
We're going to do more of it and we're going to do great things in 2025.
00:06:14.447 --> 00:06:22.622
We look forward to seeing you then and, as we always say, light your fire within, but we're going to take a few days to reignite our own.
