Episode 243: Episode 9-6 - Kory Pearn - "Looking at Life's Challenges & Learning to Learn"

Capt. Kory Pearn has over twenty years in the Canadian Fire Service. However, looking at the trades to provide more than photos and fire story articles, he did not find what he was searching for. Kory started thinking that firefighters need more than “hotshot” pics. He wanted to read a trade that would focus on firefighters’ health and wellness. And when he was unable to find a trade like that, he created one of his own, “CRACKYL” Magazine.

Kory is the publisher, Editor-in-Chief and CEO of CRACKYL Media, Inc. He is an industry author and keynote speaker, who acts as an enthusiastic mental health advocate, spreading awareness of what it takes to not only survive, but thrive in the dynamic job of firefighting. 

In this episode, Kory and I discuss two key topics for today’s firefighters, whether in the USA, Canada or almost anywhere else there are firefighters. First, is “Looking at Life’s Challenges,” and “Learning to Learn.”

All too often, we tend to set specific limits on ourselves, i.e., family, finances, perhaps a second job, etc. However, how do our families see us when we tend to focus only on these topics? But how often do you look at yourself and think that all is fine? Sounds right - but it doesn’t feel right. 

Tune in and let’s see if Kory can help you with your focus, for the job, the family, and the community!
