In this podcast, we hear from Travis Dotson--a regular on the podcast--and Brit Rosso, the Director of the Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center and podcast newcomer.
In the discussion, we try to make sense of the super complex and convoluted topic of "Identity." Travis and Brit tackle a wide range of topics, including:
- What does it mean to be "All-In?"
- What are all the ways your identity can get "smashed"?
- What do we struggle with when we leave the fireline?
- Do you "throw rocks" at folks struggling with retirement?
For even more on the topic of Identity, be sure to check out the Fall 2017 Issue of Two More Chains.
