Description

In this raw and real conversation, Bobby Eckert opens up about his roots, leadership, and the gut-punch layoff that nearly derailed it all. From childhood drills to navigating Camden’s chaos, this is a story about resilience, fatherhood, and the drive that keeps him going even when they try to take away the uniform.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What growing up with a fire chief dad taught Bobby about leading with integrity
  • How layoffs nearly ended his career - and why he came back stronger
  • The firehouse smells, sights, and lessons you never forget
  • A leadership style built on trust, distance, and letting your crew figure it out
  • Why empathy and public trust are core to serving - even on “BS” calls

If you’re a firefighter who wants to lead with grit, bounce back from setbacks, and serve with heart — this one’s for you.
