Welcome to Forged by FIRE, the podcast where we ignite the flames of accountability, discipline, and progress. I’m Ryan Rodriquez, and today, we’re tearing down one of the biggest lies ever sold to you in the workplace; that“your workplace is your family.” It’s one of those phrases that sounds warm and fuzzy, doesn’t it?

Time is the one thing we all want more of, but the truth is, it’s slipping away every second. Every hour spent scrolling on your phone or watching another episode on Netflix is an hour you’ll never get back.

How many times have you played a video game and gotten super frustrated to the point that you felt like throwing the controller? Did you give up and throw it?

Episode 214 - 3 Questions for Success! 34:21

4M ago34:21

34:21

Success is something that we all have to define for ourselves. We need to take a step back from what we’re doing, look at the road we are on, and ask ourselves if it will lead us to what we ultimately believe success to be. However, we need to identify the things that would keep us on the right track or throw us off course. In today’s episode, I wi…

6M ago21:53

21:53

When it comes to relationships, the quality of people we keep in our circle has an effect on our progress or lack thereof. It’s been said that we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with. So why wouldn’t we want to spend time with amazing people? By curating our network of friends and acquaintances, we can improve the quality of …

Episode 209 - Deal With It! 28:27

6M ago28:27

28:27

In the fire service, we are often heard telling each other to “suck it up” or “deal with it”. And while these phrases might seem harsh, there’s a lot of truth to them. Many people hear these phrases and think it means that they just need to ignore their problems and keep going despite any pain or trauma they have endured, but that couldn’t be furth…

13:20

As we go throughout our lives, we more often than not feel a sense of belonging at our places of work, within our families, and the people we choose to spend our time with. But sometimes we just don’t “fit in”. That can make things awkward, it can stifle us and it can impact our mental health in some seriously negative ways. But what’s the differen…

We hear the term “resilience” a lot lately; mental resilience, emotional resilience, and physical resilience. Sometimes we don’t know what that means. I’ve heard people describe resilience as a person’s ability to “take a punch and get back up”. But what about being able to see the punch before it happens and dodge it? Today I’m going to talk about…

Episode 204 - 7 Steps to Gamify Your Goals! 16:38

8M ago16:38

16:38

Sometimes it can be difficult to stay on track when it comes to achieving your goals. Discipline is the name of the game; doing a repeated behavior day in and day out until you achieve your desired outcome. This process can be monotonous which can lead to you falling off your desired path. One of the ways that I stay on track is by gamifying my goa…

How do you define “wisdom”? Is it the practical application of knowledge? Is it simply the curation of information? There are lots of different ways to define the term “wisdom”, but I think my favorite way to describe the difference between knowledge and wisdom is this; “knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is understanding that it…

Have you ever approached an escalator that goes up only to see an out of order sign that says, “Out of service, take the stairs”? What did you do when you saw that sign?

200 EPISODES!!! If you would’ve told me 10 years ago that I’d be writing, producing, and publishing my own podcast, I’d tell you that you were crazy. Telling me that I’d get to 200 episodes would be even further from what I thought I could do! Not only did I not have the confidence in what I had to say having any value, but I didn’t have the techni…

Episode 199 - Anchor Yourself! 19:50

11M ago19:50

19:50

If we don’t have things to anchor us to who we want to be, then we won’t be able to achieve the goals we have for ourselves and our futures. We can anchor ourselves to our principles, our procedures, our attitudes, anything and everything that makes us who we are. I know you may be thinking, “how is an anchor, something that holds you down, going t…

The most valuable commodity that we have on this planet is our TIME. What we DO with that time determines our experience while we are alive on this earth.

If you aren’t growing, you’re dying. You’ve heard me say this before, but I thought that as we come to the end of 2023, I just reiterate my point because as you all know; with a new year comes a new quarter and a new cohort to my coaching group The Forge. The concept of having a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset is what separates the DO-ers fro…

As we go throughout our lives, we will find ourselves in situations where we are in direct competition with others.

You’ve heard me talk a lot about several different Japanese cultural concepts throughout my podcast. The reason for that is that I feel like Japanese culture is very conscientious and purposeful.

With staffing at an all-time low among fire departments and other organizations across the continent, strategies for recruitment and retention have gained the spotlight.

You’ve heard me say it again and again, if you want to accomplish something big, break up the task into smaller sections. By doing this, we can take small but effective steps toward the bigger goals we have established for ourselves (or the goals that our organizations and leaders have established for us). I show people how to do this inside my coa…

Episode 192 - Write Your Own Job Description! 36:12

1y ago36:12

36:12

When we apply for a job, we typically do some investigating as to what the job entails. A great way to learn about the details of the job is by reading the “job description”. A job description informs you of all the tasks and roles that you would be responsible for if hired for the job. From there, you can decide if that’s something that sounds goo…

“Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning.” - Viktor Frankl One of my all-time favorite books is Viktor Frankl's book “Man’s Search for Meaning”, but something recently stuck out to me in that title; the word “search”. Then it got me thinking, “why spend so …

Active building of yourself only happens with conscious effort and planning. It doesn’t happen by accident. In today’s episode, I will talk about how we can actively focus on becoming assets, wh…

We all have an idea of what we think “perfection” looks like in our minds, but our path to that so-called perfection can be exhausting. This is only compounded when we compare ourselves, our work, and our progress to other people. Accepting that someone will always be better than you at something helps you maintain humility, but also accept that ac…

We all know how it feels to be not listened to. Whether people are half-listening, continually interrupting, or aren’t paying attention to you at all, we know how that feels. And it doesn’t feel good. But is it our job to force people to listen to us or is it our job to show people what it looks like to be a good listener? The answer to that questi…

Oftentimes we spend so much time overcomplicating things that we wind up never taking steps toward accomplishing the things we want to accomplish. Some people call this “paralysis by analysis”. Allowing the complexity of a situation to overwhelm us can stop us in our tracks when we’re trying to set goals and take steps to achieve them. In today’s e…

Being able to identify the elements of health and wellness and how they apply to you are crucial when it comes to staying in the infinite game that is the fire service and life in general. Being able …

If you work as a first-responder and hear the word “energy”, you might immediately think of a cup of coffee or an energy drink. These substances seem to be the quick lifelines that we reach for in order to help us forget that we’re tired and help us push through. But I’d like you to know that there are more productive, longer-lasting, healthier way…

Strong and meaningful relationships are essential to our well-being as humans.

You all have heard me use this adage before, “Civilize the mind, but make savage the body”. That’s a Samurai proverb that I embraced about 10 years ago. I love the dichotomy of making the mind as formidable as the body and vice versa. Oftentimes we feel we have to sacrifice one or the other. And there are a lot of stereotypes out there of the muscu…

I recently read a quote that went something like, “A healthy person has a thousand wishes, an unhealthy person only has ONE.” In a time where we are being told that our health relies on other people wearing masks or that our genetics make it impossible to live healthy lives, it can be difficult to push through all that nonsense and make moves towar…

Episode 177 - The Forge of Adversity 22:47

1+ y ago22:47

22:47

As firefighters and EMS providers, we train for situations that other people might not ever see in their lives. This means that we set up scenarios that test our ability to physically perform, keep our emotions in check, and mentally adapt to whatever the situation may throw at us. We are literally forging adversity. By doing this, we better prepar…

Episode 176 - Hero On A Mission 23:23

2y ago23:23

23:23

You’ve heard the term “complacency kills’. Well, why is that? Officially it’s because we get to a point where we are satisfied in our situation in spite of the deficiencies we harbor and as a result, we expose ourselves to danger. This could look like a firefighter not checking their gear every morning. It could look like a father gaining 50 lbs du…

I love movies. I love the story-writing that goes into them. When we watch a movie or read a book, we are watching character development play out right before our eyes. Ultimately, regardless of what movie we are watching, the story comes down to one theme, “who am I?” I recently read an article that stated there are 3 versions of you. The author a…

Back in 2017 I learned of a horrendous statistic; firefighter and first-responder suicides outnumbered line of duty deaths (LODDs).
