068. Fires Are The Easiest Part of the Job: Bobby Eckert [Part 1]
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.
