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.

Pedro - The March Continues
On this episode of the podcast, we have a returning guest. My friend Pedro, better known on social media as Popz_951.
An ARMY service member, and social media influencer, Popz sits down with us and we reflect on this past years ('21) trials and accomplishments. Realizing what impact we have on people can sometimes put a burden on our shoulders. Constantly feeling like we can't stop or give up, not even for ourselves to take a break. Him and I discuss how we handle that and how we have found that, no matter what, we should ALWAYS put ourselves first. Not only for ourselves, but for those that look up to us.
WMUF please help me welcome back Popz!!
