Alaskan wildland firefighter, Micah Booze, stops by today on The Anchor Point Podcast to talk about philosophy, the "mental health awakening" , and how we are ultimately the catalysts for change for future generations of wildland firefighters...

Show Notes

Micah Booze is a wildland firefighter, modern philosopher,  and entrepreneur from Alaska...

Micah has some awesome insight and wisdom on fire leadership, networking, and looking at things from a different perspective... He's also an expert level Big Lebowski fan. He's also the brains behind the scenes at "The A.S.S. Movement" - A company founded on the premise of educating people on how to properly "do a number 2" in the woods, stewardship of the land, and fundraising for sick and injured wildland firefighters.

On part 1 of this episode of The Anchor Point Podcast: I have the pleasure of sitting down with Micah to talk about how the wildland community is capable of changing the system, our perspective on leadership, the status of Grassroots Wildland Firefighters, and we give a massive shout out to the folks who are making a difference in the community...

You know the drill...

Stay safe, stay savage...
