On this episode, I get to sit down with a living legend of the fire service and genuinely great guy- Retired Assistant Chief Dave Whiting from the City of Columbus Fire Department.  He brings a wealth of leadership knowledge from a long, decorated career and shares easy-to-understand life lessons about: teamwork, honesty, and respecting others opinions to achieve the team’s goals.  

Throughout our sit down, we cover a lot of ground, but get Dave’s perspective on: 

My favorite African Proverb,How a BB gun changed the course of his life,The importance of having a mentor outside the fire service,  Memorable firehouse pranks...And why he would love to grab a whiskey with Teddy Roosevelt.
