The Supt. Series: A Conversation with Kris Baumgartner, Superintendent of The Pioneer Peak Hotshots.

On Today's Show: https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/ We have a conversation with Pioneer Peak Hotshot Superintendent Kris Baumgartner. The crew just returned from an assignment in Alberta, Canada, and we discussed that experience. We talk about Hotshot culture and everything that comes with it. Old school V.S. new school and what can we learn from both. The importance of grit, tenacity, and rugged toughness while still recognizing the importance of self-awareness and decompressing. Our experiences with mental health and how we each have dealt with “waking up.” THE HOTSHOT WAKE UP - Thank you to all of our paid subscribers.
