Get • We talk a lot about the violence men cause but never the violence they prevent.

The same force that can make a man dangerous is the same force that makes him heroic.

In moments of real danger, men have instinctively thrown themselves between chaos and the people they love.

That’s masculinity at its highest form.

Not something to tear down something to rise to ⚡️

Get • .ozo 1. “Men don’t rest,” she said. “They pause to reload.” The room laughed — until she added, “That’s not strength, that’s fear.” Most men don’t rest because they were raised to believe slowing down makes them replaceable.

2. One man said he feels guilty watching TV if his wife is still cleaning. Another said he can’t nap unless his to-do list is finished — which, of course, never happens. They don’t avoid rest; they avoid being seen as unneeded.

3. Studies show that men who define worth through productivity have 60 % higher cortisol and double the burnout risk by age 40. They’re not adrenaline junkies — they’re validation addicts, wired to prove they deserve space.

4. “They confuse rest with weakness,” she said. “Because when they were little, the only time they stopped was when they were sick.” Their bodies learned that stillness equals failure. So they keep moving, even when nothing’s chasing them.

5. “A man who can’t rest,” she ended, “isn’t lazy — he’s tired of earning permission to exist.” Peace feels foreign when your whole life was applause-driven.

💭 Does the man you love actually relax — or just recover enough to keep performing?

The Story

Hey Everyone,

I'm a 22nd year, second generation Firefighter working for a Department in Southern Ontario, Canada, with around 400 suppression personnel,13 stations and 18 apparatus. I spent the first half of my career at a Technical Rescue station, six years working as a primary care medic, and 3 years instructing as a Fire Training Officer, and I've had the honour and pleasure of co-leading our Peer Support Team for the past few years.

When I first joined, we were a lot smaller and the Senior Firefighter on the truck with me for my first shift had been on longer than I had been alive. Outside of what he and many others taught me about the job, he recommended that I start a journal of all the calls and happenings around the hall so that one day I'd have the makings of a book. He was right, but unfortunately, of all the things I heeded and applied, that wasn't one of them. Point being, there are stories to tell and we all carry them; about us as individuals, as crews, as platoons, and as a Department. The wisdom and instruction about how to do the job are crucial, but the experiences and stories also help to shape our character and our Fire Family as a whole. Stories are important. Through story-telling, we find comfort in what connects us and expand our minds through our differences.

I've come late to the party when it comes to podcasts. A move this past summer that involves an hour plus commute, opened up the opportunity to fill that time with some quality content. I've been inspired by a number of podcasts and listed the fire-related ones on the Multiple Calls Website in the Resources section along with books, pages, websites, literature, and videos. You can also find a running list of those in the Fire Service at large that deserve our respect and acknowledgment for their efforts to keep us grounded and progressing, in the Credits section. Please message me if you want me to add someone.
