PREP and DEFEND

♦️ Helping busy men build lasting performance and resilience so they can better perform in their teams and families.
 
We believe all men are meant to master their performance and attitude as they emerge as leaders of their teams and families.


♦️ Host Chris Ruano is an active professional Fire Captain with over 25 years of experience dealing with the challenges of high-demand stressful environments.


"Our crazy First-Responder lifestyle makes it so difficult to improve our strength and physical performance.

Periodized-Hybrid training is a unique year-round fitness strategy that I discovered through years of leading wildland fire crews, as I struggled to stay prepared for fire-season not just once, but year after year.

By following this strategy, you’ll increase your strength and year-round performance, because its specially developed for the challenges and commitments of our first-responder lifestyle."


♦️ It is our honor and passion to equip workers and leaders with effective strategies to unlock powerful performance and positive attitudes.

    Great fundamentals for the new FF
    Just listened to episode 50 & 51. Great information & basic points for potential new hires. Humble yourself, find and copy a roll model is spot on. Always easy to find information on the assessment pre-hire process. Episode 51 gives advice on history, traditions & culture of the probationary FF & expectations. Great to hear this. I’m retired 31 yr Fire Capt & spent many years as a trainer and academy instructor. Proud father of a Hotshot & Navy Seal. Keep em coming 🔥
