227. If You Can't Do Great Things, Do Small Things in a Great Way - Jeremy Mathis

"A growth mindset requires a training mindset" falls right inline with Jeremy Mathis' belief in continuing to be better. Not just fire training, but life training. Family, faith and the fire ground, three things that Jeremy is passionate about and knows that each needs individual focus but more importantly how one affects the other. Jeremy is a Captain with the Covington, GA Fire Department and is the Director of Training for FAST Rescue Solutions. His hectic schedule requires a team approach and it all starts at home. His family is most important and their focus on religion and faith are key to their appreciation of life. Jeremy is passionate about the fire service and truly is a humbled servant of it as well. Each aspect of his life is done with an underlying tone of service and appreciation for the opportunities and experiences. Over time, Jeremy has dealt with a common theme found within the fire service, imposter syndrome. Being afforded opportunities or finding your way to a place that you believe you don't deserve or worthy of can be hard to navigate in your career. As humble as Jeremy is, his abilities are vast and his knowledge is top shelf. Be belongs in front, teaching and leading because he truly understands what it is to be a humbled servant. He works for his people and understands the value of giving more than you take. Jeremy Mathis is someone to watch and has so much in front of him. His commitment to training and protecting the FAST Rescue Solution culture is never wavering. He loves his family, his faith and the fire service and it shows through his daily actions and his contribution to the fire service.
