Blazing Leadership: Inside Memphis Fire Department with Director Colin Burress. My guest this week is Colin Burress, the Fire Chief of the City of Memphis Fire Department. “The mark of a great leader is not how many followers they have, but how many leaders they create.” ~ Unknown My guest this week is not just the newest appointed Memphis Fire Director, but he is also a long time friend.  Chief Colin Burress takes a few minutes from his incredibly busy schedule to sit down and have a fun and meaningful conversation about all things fire. I was first introduced to Chief Burress around 2004 when I was reassigned to the newly developed Special Operations Rescue Team at fire station 36.  At that time he was the Lieutenant of Rescue 2 and had already started making a great name for himself on the department.  We share some of our favorite memories from those days with some being funny and others being pivotal moments in both of our careers…like the 400 East Brooks Road warehouse fire! Chief Burress shares how it was the suggestion of a friend he worked with on the Germantown Police Department that gave him the notion to apply for the MFD.  He admits that at that time he didn’t know where that move would lead him, but he knows now it was one of the best decisions he ever made. We dive into personal achievements and what individuals on the job had a huge impact on the person he has come to be and what that means about his approach to leadership.  You don’t want to miss the insight and inspiration Chief Burress brings to the table and I can state with complete certainty that the future of the MFD is going to be in great hands.

Chief of Both Worlds: Firefighting and Finishing Lines . My guest this week is Danny Scallions, the Fire Chief of Southaven, MS. “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” ~ Z. Ziglar My guest this week is the Fire Chief of Southaven, MS.  Chief Danny Scallions has been a firefighter for the better part of his entire adult life.  Originally, he had his sights on going to the City of Memphis Fire Department, but after learning he was color blind he had to take a step back and reconsider his direction.  This early mis-step plays to the character he was developing. Still wanting to pursue his interest in firefighting, Danny decided to try out for the Southaven, MS fire department.  He quickly found his path and took every opportunity to learn as many aspects of the job as possible.  This passion to continue growing in the profession eventually led him to going to paramedic school.  This is where he and I became friends and our conversations inspired me to apply for the city of Southaven. In our conversation we discuss his other passion in life, running!  Like so many other things in Danny’s life, when he decided to get into distance running he went all in and quickly set his sights on one day qualifying and running the Boston Marathon.  As you will hear, the journey to making it to the start line of Boston was suddenly becoming more difficult than the actual marathon. However, it was within his struggle to make it to Boston that he found a new level of fight and determination.  Chief Scallions grit, focus, patience, and determination are on full display in this week’s conversation.

A Legacy of Service: Volunteer Firefighting Personifies Community – My Guest, Mike Hancock, is the Chief of the Walls Volunteer Fire Department. “You were born with the ability to change someone’s life. Don’t ever waste it.” This week’s guest has some special ties to my early beginnings in the fire service.  Back in the late 90’s when I was getting out of the Air Force I had a strong desire to pursue firefighting as a career.  Not knowing much about firefighting and what all that entailed, I figured volunteering would give me an up close and personal experience. I promptly signed up to be a volunteer firefighter with the Walls Volunteer Fire Department in Walls, MS.  Mike Hancock was the Chief at station 9 on Hwy 301 and ironically I had seen this fire station my whole life but had never went in until the day I went to sign up. Chief Hancock talks about his early years in DeSoto County and how her became fascinated by the idea of firefighting when as a young teenage boy he witnessed a house across the street from him burn to the ground.  Please forgive the pun, but it is safe to say that this lit a flame within him to pursue firefighting as his profession. We do a deep dive into the challenges volunteer departments face all over the nation and how recruiting has multiple hurdles that have been found to be very difficult to navigate.  If you or someone you love has an affinity toward fire and EMS then you don’t want to miss this episode, I know you will find it very informative.  If you are in the Walls, MS area and you would like to learn more about how to volunteer you can call 662-781-2020 or go to http://www.wallsfiredept.com Please continue to listen and support this podcast and be sure to check out my social media content on my website http://MotivateWithCoachCamp.com   Also, if you are interested in becoming an official sponsor of this podcast please click the link below to learn more.   👉 SPONSOR THIS PODCAST -  https://bit.ly/443wPRj 🔗 WEBSITE - http://www.motivatewithcoachcamp.com 📺 WATCH - YouTube and Facebook 🎧 LISTEN - Apple and Spotify   This episode was recorded at SRP Studios and Produced by Shelby Row Productions LLC SRPStudiosLLC.com

From Near Death to New Direction: A Christian Rapper’s Rise. My guest this week is Mr. Lathan Warlick, Christian Rap and Country Artist. “Purpose is not found, it’s revealed – stop searching and start living.” ~ S. Maraboli If you were looking for a motivational story to inspire you to go after your dreams then this week’s episode is the one for you.  Lathan Warlick grew up in Jackson, TN and early in his life he had a true love for dancing.  It wasn’t until he had a chance encounter with someone that his path in life took a quick turn. Lathan explains that his grandmother was a huge influence on his life.  She somehow knew what he was destined for, long before he even knew.  As Lathan grew, so did his dancing talents, yet, it was his grandmother that believed he was destined to be a singer. Lathan shares the story of how everything changed one night when he was with his friends at a club and a fight broke out.  Lathan was standing beside his friend at his car in the parking lot tending to his injuries when Lathan noticed two guys walking toward him.  His instincts told him to run, so he did.  However, after being trapped in a dead end, one of the guys pulled a gun to shoot him.  Lathan remembered the words of his grandmother…if you are in trouble call on the name of the Lord.  So that is what he did, and in that moment when the other person pulled the trigger the bullet didn’t come out. Lathan goes on to describe how that moment in time changed everything about his faith and his direction.  From that day forward he dedicated his life to being a voice for God.  You will have to tune in to hear the rest of this incredible story of survival and rise to greatness in the industry.  You can find his music on Spotify and follow Lathan Warlick on IG, FB and TikTok.

Chasing the Delta Dream: A Journey to Blues Greatness.  My guest this week is Mr. Charlie Robbins, Blues Guitarist and Solo Artist. “Guitar music is the universal language – it speaks directly to the heart.” ~ Unknown This week’s guest came a long way in a short amount of time and he drove to the studio from a long way off, driving in from Greenwood, MS.  At the young age of 21, Mr. Charlie Robbins has made some large strides in the industry of music.  It was only two years ago that Mr. Robbins picked up a guitar, but he hasn’t put it down since.  Realizing he had a knack for blending songs and picking up different rhythms, Robbins focused on working toward his first performance. Robbins describes how he was nervous prior to taking the stage for the first time, but after looking back on his performance he said he actually did better his first time than he did his next two performances.  Learning how to work with a band and stay on point was all a part of the process.  As Robbins explains, “you just have to go for it and do the thing!” Robbins said, when he’s not playing with his groups, “6th Sense” or “The Charlie Robbins Blues Band”, he is crafting his ability to carry a show as a solo artist.  Then he shares how being the only one on stage comes with an entirely different feel and making sure you aren’t off becomes paramount because there is no one else up there to carry you. I know you will enjoy our conversation about how Charlie became inspired to chase his dream, how he stays grounded in humility while pushing to be better each day and where he hopes to see himself in the next 5 years.  As an added bonus he spends a few minutes giving a demo at the end of the show and even has a special guest on bass, our very own Derrick Michaud.

Beyond the Wire: A POW’s Triumph. My guest this week is WWII veteran and POW survivor, Lieutenant Luke McLaurine Jr. “We were prisoners of war,  but we never surrendered our spirit.” ~ R. Rush Mr. McLaurine comes from a time that has been called, “The Greatest Generation.”  After listening to his tell of survival and determination to live it would be hard to dispute such an opinion. Mr. McLaurine at the delicate age of 101 shares with my listeners how growing up in Memphis TN. With a family of bakers he remembers his family always making Elvis Presley’s cake each year for his birthday.  Despite his families background in  the restaurant business Mr. McLaurine wanted to be a pilot.  Then when the attack on Pearl Harbor happened he knew his future was going to be serving his country. Mr. McLaurine unfortunately was disqualified from being a pilot due to him being color blind but his small stature made him the perfect size to be a bombardier.  Mr. McLaurine recounts how his life had more close calls than he cared for and his memory of the harrowing events that unfolded when he and the other 10 members of his plane had to bail over enemy territory because of engine failure will leave you clinging to each moment of detail. Mr. McLaurine exemplifies the American spirit and all of us owe him and all those that have served over the years a deep amount of gratitude.  He is truly an American hero and it was an incredible honor to help share his story that other’s can listen to and appreciate.

Echoes of Freedom: A Father’s War, A Daughter’s Song – My Guests, Cecil Brunson and Daughter Dr. Angela Brunson, share the harrowing experience of being a POW in the Vietnam War. “The mind is the ultimate weapon, and hope is its ammunition.” ~ G. Coffee   This week I had the honor of sitting down with Lt. Colonel Cecil Brunson and his daughter Dr. Angela Brunson to talk about the Colonel’s war experience of fighting in the Vietnam War and his time spent as a POW at the infamous Hanoi Hilton.  His daughter adds an interesting perspective as she describes how music during captivity was used to both lift their spirits and to torture them. Colonel Brunson was flying in an F4 the day he got shot down.  His chilling details of the moment he and his partner realized they had been hit and the slow motion play by play of the canopy lifting off and the two men ejecting at 23,000 feet will keep you on the edge of your seat.  Colonel Brunson’s capture, to his interrogation and eventual release will give you an entirely new concept of what it means to earn freedom. Dr. Angela Brunson joins the conversation detailing how she was told about her father’s 5 ½ month POW stint and how the men kept up morale by singing hymns and holding church service.  This inspired Dr. Angela to do a deep dive into the healing nature of music and as a twist, the way his captors used music to torture the POW’s. It was an incredibly humbling to spend some time with these two amazing people and recount the hardships and sacrifices of Colonel Brunson and the men that served in the Vietnam War.  The one thing everyone should know and understand is, freedom is most certainly not free.

Tuned In: Bob Bakeen’s Journey In Broadcasting – My Guest, Bob Bakken, is a broadcaster and columnist for DeSoto County News, MS. “I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if only we will tune in.” ~ G. W. Carver This week’s guest shares bis personal story of how he dreamed of being a professional broadcaster from a very early age and was known to do mock interviews and commentary as a small child.  Mr. Bakken describes how he allowed his curiosity of journalism to be his guide as he took advantage of different opportunities as they presented themselves. Growing up in the cold tundra of Minnesota, Mr. Bakken tells of how his small town experience and being the oldest of 6, with the younger 5 all being girls, helped to mold him into the person he is today.  Being bold and fearless, Mr. Bakken took leaps of faith pursuing jobs that often kept him on the road and traveling further and further away from his hometown. Eventually he landed his first professional broadcasting job when he took a position covering the double A hockey team called the River Kings.  This resulted in he and his wife moving to the deep south.  After three years Mr. Bakken moved around to several other broadcasting jobs until he landed with the DeSoto County News organization.  His inspirational journey from the North to the Mid-West to eventually landing in the south is a true testament of what it means to chase your dream and he gives a ton of credit for this being a possibility to his wife Jean.  Bob’s wife Jean is an incredible person herself and even has her business where she uses her artistic talent to tie balloon characters for kids.  If you are in the area you can find her on Facebook as Miss B-Loonie.

Total Health: A Message for the Mind, Body and Soul – Me, Your Host, Coach Camp – brings a message that anyone can benefit from. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and portion forever.” ~ Psalm 73:26 I like to think that I’ve been rather proactive throughout my adult life about staying healthy and making decent choices that effect my health.  However, after a recent calcium score test, some unfortunate life events and a small bout of feeling lost and betrayed, I quickly realized that I had to be more intentional about all of my health. I dive into things we should be aware of and how we can take steps to safeguard our mental health, as well as our physical health and our spiritual health.  Each area requires us to be mindful of all three and how we can give each of them the attention they deserve each day. Most of my life I’ve been one that thinks of others first and my well-being usually takes a distant second.  The reality is, we can’t take care of those we care about if we are not healthy. In this episode, I will talk about some of the things that create turmoil for our mental health and how we can adjust to have a better outlook on life.  I share how diet and exercises matter for a healthy body, but our genetics and family history must be in the conversation.  Lastly, I hit on what to me is the most important aspect of all three and that’s my spiritual health.  Regardless of your ethnicity, religion, culture or perspectives, I can assure you that you will take something from this quick episode and use it in your daily life.

Rhythm Without Limits: Music Unites Abilities – My Guest, Truman Wallace, is the Empowerment Coach and Founder at Truman Center of Hope. “I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” ~ J. Dean My guest this week used his unfortunate accident at the young age of two to be his motivation in life.  Truman was born to a large family and his first two years was like most two year old’s, playing with siblings and testing his parents patience as he explored his world.  It was when young Truman was hit by a car that his entire life changed in an instance. Truman shares how he went into full arrest a few times before the doctors could stabilize him.  After he was finally able to leave the hospital he continued battling a badly broken right arm.  As time passed Truman’s arm became twisted and eventually left him with limited use of his right arm.  This however did not stop him, it just forced him to do things differently than others to achieve the same thing. By the time he was 13 he was leading his youth group at church and he had developed a profound love for music with the drums being his favorite.  Truman had been living his life to its fullest when he suddenly felt a calling to help others with disabilities.  This is why he started his nonprofit called “The Truman Center of Hope”.  Truman is determined to help others realize their true worth and he hopes to make his nonprofit his legacy that will go on for many years after he is gone.  If you would like to learn more about his organization or how you could help, you can go to www.tru/mancenterofhope.com or Truman @‌truman center of hope.

Leading by Love: A Grandma, A CEO, A Heart Full of Purpose. – My Guest, Southaven Chamber of Commerce President, Debbie King. “Alone we strong, together we are unbreakable .” My guest this week shows us what being a leader is all about.  I was introduced to Mrs. King at a leadership conference and soon I learned that she was not only a community leader, but she was someone that knew how to do the right thing, even when the right thing was the hardest thing to do. Mrs. Debbie King grew up in a very diverse family that taught her how to embrace the moment and not fear change.  She shares how her time spent at the casino’s actually molded her “can do” attitude and gave her a sense of loving the challenge.  She explains how every time a new opportunity presented itself she was quick to jump at it.  If nothing else, she wanted to be a perpetual learner. After nearly 20 years in the casino business, Mrs. King was given an opportunity to go to work for the very young city of Southaven, MS.  Working at the Chamber of Commerce meant that she we would have to once again push herself out of her comfort zone and become very familiar with how to communicate with a diverse group of business leaders. In 2021 Mrs. King was rewarded for all of her strong efforts and she was assigned as the President and CEO of the Southaven Chamber of Commerce.  This new role and challenge in her life inspired her to press forward and build an amazing team of people around her by which, she gives all the credit to for making her look good.  These roles and life progression would seem to be impressive enough, but it is in our last part of the conversation that you see how big her heart truly is.  When she was faced with adopting her two grandkids she knew that the road ahead wouldn’t be easy, but there was no way that she was going to walk away from this unexpected change.  Mrs. King is the shining example of what a mentor, a city leader and a loving person should be, and I know that you will be moved by her story, just as I was.
