Silverback Leadership
Silverback Leadership is B-Shifter's deep dive into command-level leadership in the hazard zone and beyond. Rooted in the teachings of Alan Brunacini, this series explores what it means to lead with calm authority, operational competence, and cultural responsibility.
This isn’t about rank. It’s about responsibility.

Ask The Chiefs; Pretty Good Career Advice
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, we will be hosting a Q&A session with the chiefs - Terry Garrison, Nick Brunancini, John Vance, and Greg Timinsky, to answer questions submitted by B Shifter listeners. We understand that dealing with a non-progressive fire chief who denies outside training requests can be challenging, but we have some insights that can help you navigate through the resistance. We will be discussing strategies for personal growth and the systemic issues of departments that avoid progressive leadership. We will also be drawing parallels to the importance of continuous training. Our conversation will extend to the repercussions chiefs may face when they fail to adapt and nurture their department’s personnel.
This episode features Nick Brunacini, Josh Blum, Greg Timinsky and John Vance.
