In this compelling episode, we dive into the heart of firefighter wellness with Kory Pearn—Publisher, Editor-In-Chief, and CEO of CRACKYL Media Inc. Kory is a 20-year veteran firefighter, industry author, and keynote speaker. His mission? To shine a light on the wellness challenges that come with the territory and to teach others how to thrive, not just survive, in this high-stakes profession.

We unpack the powerful mantra: "What You Aren't Changing, You're Choosing." Kory shares raw, unfiltered insights into how firefighters can navigate their demanding careers while making smarter choices to safeguard their health and wellness. He emphasizes the importance of staying whole, of not losing oneself amidst the chaos and the call of duty. His words are a lifeline for those who risk it all every day.

CRACKYL is more than just a publication; it's a movement dedicated to the holistic well-being of firefighters. It's about making better choices, embracing mental health, and ensuring that every firefighter knows they have the power to shape their destiny. This episode is not just a conversation—it's a call to action. Tune in, and let Kory Pearn guide you through the fire, one choice at a time.
