In general people think that fires are simple. Someone sees a fire and calls the fire department. The firefighters come and put the fire out. There is so much more to it. In this episode I explain what we do and how we do it. How we handle fires can be used in how you deal with life. What's your fires and how are you putting them out? Are you completely putting out your fires, or are you just "knocking" them down and not completely taking care of them?

Are you stuck in a chair? Often in life we get stuck in chairs. We don't even realize that we are in a chair, but there we are, stuck. Start to recognize when you're stuck in a chair and do something about it. Get out of your chair, and help others get out of their chairs.
