Yeah. Totally, totally. So talking, you know, shifting now more into the legacy part, we talked a lot about current business and the mindset behind being successful. Where's the future lie for you and the business?
I think the future can be anything that I want it to be based on my mindset. I mean, really, there's so many opportunities out there, trends and changing technologies that the brand Firehouse Training can assist in many different areas, whether it's first response, health and safety, mental health.
way that the world's constantly transitioning on a day-to-day basis i feel that my business can also do the same and having that flexibility and adaptability and having a good team around me with a good support system will allow me to handle the ebbs and flows of the industries but also
move forward with the changing trends and not only build a business that gives me that sense of fulfillment each and every day, but can also help my bank account as well, right? At the end of the day, when you offer a good service and a good product, I feel that the financial gain and compensation will just naturally come with that. The more effort that you put into it.
Totally. And say there's someone watching now that maybe in your industry or in a similar industry, or maybe they're not, but they're inspired by everything they're hearing, right? And how you've transitioned and created this great business and now an investor and an author and all those things. And they're sat there wanting to do the same, but they haven't started yet.
What's one or two tips you'd give them?
You have to have a plan, whether you're making notes on a piece of paper or sending emails to yourself about ideas you had. The one thing I've learned is that it's one thing to have an idea, but you have to have a plan to put it into action.
And today, with many of the individuals I find in today's society, we are seeing less action and maybe some of the, you know, whether it's in the workforce or the younger generation, I just feel that if you find something that you're passionate about and gives you that personal why or that motivation, that will give you the energy you need to take action on those ideas.
And it's easier than ever, I feel, with the internet. I agree. I only started maybe 16 years ago, but I was like, now you can take courses, hundreds of YouTube videos. I was reading books. It's all about learning. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Easier than ever. But it is like you said, it's like you've got to have the mindset, you've got to be disciplined and you've got to you've got to go get it.
So, you know, let's talk a little about legacy. Obviously, there's a lot of that in your episode and your story and then kind of where where you see that leading to. But what does legacy mean to you?
Legacy for me means taking that brand and making it bigger than myself. A brand that can not only change the game in the training industry, but also in other areas of mentorship or where, you know, the community is looking for help or, you know, situations that weaken.
can further provide education, experience, and perspective to not just make our industry and the fire service better, but anywhere else that this brand of firehouse can take us. Love it. And I think being able to look at the big picture and understand that as we develop as a person, as a business owner, as an investor, an entrepreneur,
That brand that you build or even that personal brand, you can take it anywhere you want.
And that's part of the fun, right? Yeah, well, the personal brand to me is like your foundation, right? So you can move from, you know, the firehouse training to the real estate. And then who knows where your passion is?
Because in life, you know, I always, I remember when I was a young kid in my first relationship, someone much older said, Rudy, you'll probably never end up with the person you're dating now. I mean, business is much the same. You're right. Now, often you get so absorbed on that first thing. But really, it's like just keep improving yourself because then the new opportunities come. Right.
And you also change in passion and interest. And I think it comes with seasons.
If this is the season I'm in right now to work hundreds of hours a week and travel across the country, learning and engaging and building this business. then that's it. If the next season is starting a family or building other relationships, then that may be a different season.
But I know that my brand will be able to withstand those changes and continue to grow no matter the season that I am in personally.
Love it. Love it. So last question, what do you want to be remembered for?
All in all, I just want to be remembered for someone who puts in effort, is a hard worker, but also someone that's easy to get along with and wants the best for others. As a first responder, there's specific personal characteristics that come with this career.
