Show Notes

Thomas Wurm stops by for his second appearance on the show to talk about mental health, mastering the mind body connection, optimizing peak human performance, and his upcoming new book, "Six Minutes for Excellence"...

Thomas Wurm is a wildland firefighter, author, publisher, and podcaster. He is a certified Master Practitioner in NLP (Neuro-linguistic programing), Hypnosis, and Mental-Emotional Release®... He is also a certified Fitness Trainer and Sports Nutritionist. He uses NLP, hypnosis, Mental-Emotional Release®, co-active coaching methodology, nutrition, and fitness as tools for success in his practice. Thomas studied at the Awakened Academy, Coaches University, International NLP Center, International Sports Science Association, Self-Publishing School, Empowerment Partnership, and on the fireline.

Thomas studied wildland fire for fourteen years on firelines around the western United States, and in doing so, Thomas saw a gap in the mental health services being provided to wildland firefighters through official channels. Per his training, Thomas recognized that if a gap exists, it must be called out and closed.

The intention of Mountain Mind Tricks is to help wildland firefighters develop leadership, peak performance, and mindset so they can reach their highest potential on the line and at home. In Thomas’ experience, it’s easier for fire agencies to hire a new employee than it is to support existing ones, and he wants to fully support wildland firefighters in the areas of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. By reframing the way in which the fire community is dealing with the mental health crisis burning in the west, Thomas is forging a healthy path forward.

About his upcoming book, Six Minutes for Excellence, he highlights the concepts of Leadership, Peak Performance, and Mindset in Wildland Firefighting:

The S-courses will never teach you excellence because excellence comes from within. When there is gap in the line you call it out and then you close you, don’t you? Thomas M. Wurm is calling out the mental-emotional gap in the wildland fire community and giving you the tools to close it. You were taught about human factors in wildland fire but where are the techniques to change a limiting human factor into a lesson for growth? Six Minutes for Excellence illuminates the path to excellence for courageous men and women to open their minds to the extraordinary power of human potential. Thomas’ strategies will support and amplify yourpower to ignite your internal leadership. Focusing on mindset, peak performance, and leadership in the wildland fire environment, Six Minutes for Excellence is a guide to your highest potential as a wildland firefighter. This book will teach you how to take charge of your mind and optimize your results. 

 

Learn how to breathe, anchor, visualize, and execute any wildland fire task with excellence, because when alignment is achieved in the mind, body, and spirit, wildland firefighters can control their results.
