Episode 8: Black hats make it happen with Andrew Morris

Today's episode features an extraordinary guest to all of us who know him. We are honored to have Andrew Morris join us in the cab. Andrew has been in the fire service since 2004 and has gone from the back of the rig to the front as a Captain and then to the back again so he knows not only how to lead, but how firefighters need to be led. He runs Apothecary Coffee Company with his wife Kara and is also one of the founders of Smoking Aces Leatherworks. There are thousands of gems in this episode so we highly encourage you to grab a pad of paper when you listen!
