Unboxing Thank You’s From Weaverville Fire, North Carolina:

Scott Mulvaney recounts his experience helping Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina, highlighting his background as a wildland firefighter. He assisted Carrie, whose boyfriend Dustin, a firefighter, later sent him a thank-you package. The package included a Weaverville Fire Department hat, a hoodie, a book documenting the hurricane’s impact, and a challenge coin. Mulvaney shares details of the severe flooding, including 30-foot flood stages and the rescue of trapped individuals. He reflects on his successful year, including financial growth, travel, and health improvements, and plans to host a men’s event and continue his podcast and charity work.

Our Final Words of the Show:

Dustin, if you ever see this video, thank you sir! I will honor all of these gifts and share them, as I did in this video. This is what I love most, likely more sharing in a new podcast to come. But yeah, guys, thankful for a great year here in 2024. So I’m doing this now for episode 450. That’s 450 episodes because I got a lot more in the tank, but I’ve been so busy, we haven’t aired anymore because I wanted number 450, to be from me. I’ll do a solo again on episode 500, so thank you again for listening and tuning in. Remember you too can LIVE THE FUEL!

Timestamped Show Notes:

• 00:30 Introduction
• 11:24 I have got the Hotshots book that’s going to benefit my new FUEL Foundations. I’ve got the annual fallen firefighters workout that we do in the F13 Performance, and more. All of this is now benefiting the foundation and then obviously the foundation will be able to give back as we see fit. I now even moved our Jordan Creek Singletrack projects under that because I’ve been paying out of my pocket forever and I still will. However, we need a foundation to build support and positive charitable growth.
• 10:30 I’m not taking any profit. Let’s be real here, one thing I’ve learned in this self-publishing school mastermind group and learn from other authors, is that you’re not going to become rich. It’s just a passion project to give back.
• 20:00 My wife calls me on my shit and loves to quote Joe Rogan.
• 23:28 As we continue to grow and succeed, you will attract the haters along with the lovers. You have got to sort through the mess, keep rolling with it, keep punching through it, and keep taking that imperfect action.
• 28:30 Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

You have got to figure out your day. You have got to figure out what fires you up. Maybe you have a side hustle in you. Maybe you have a business in you that you’ve always wanted to kind of play around with.

You know what, life is short. If you don’t like your job, or your career, CHANGE IT! It might not happen in six months or two years, but at least you will have something going on that helps you feel free. Find that free time that fires you up. If anything, I find too many things to fire me up these days.

Final Words:

I’ll probably keep it with the Thanksgiving theme, just end it with something simple, give more than you get. You know there’s something special that happens… (Brian gets emotional here…)

You know something special happens when you have the opportunity to do that kind of stuff. This year I probably made triple the amount of money I made last year with my side hustle and some things I’ve started doing with my carpentry, my skillset, and my level of commitment to taking care of my family. The money I made doesn’t mean shit to me.

A mobile podcast for Thanksgiving-On-The-Street with Yes!Solutions:

This is solo recorded episode while traveling to NYC for Yes!Solutions. I’m promoting our annual volunteer work that is accomplished for Thanksgiving in Harlem, NYC. This episode is about the StreetCorner Gourmets and the non-profit work of Yes Solutions founded by Sister Mary Lanning. We even get our turkeys cooked by surrounding NYC Fire Departments!

Thanksgiving Day every year. All-night Wednesday and all-day Thursday. Help is always needed all week long. Launching our StreetCorner Gourmets winter season is the first of our extravagant, touching Three Lonely Holidays On The Street.

We Bring Belonging Back! We bring the holidays to the sidewalk for those who don’t have a home or family.

We prepare a sumptuous hot meal, cooked overnight and delivered hot from the stove to our street corner table which is a bench at a bus stop. We spend the day with our guests, enjoying conversation, companionship, laughs, family histories, and the happy, eager attentions of our own children and grandchildren.

We eat together—turkey, all the go-withs, and enough homemade sweet potato pies to have seconds. And thirds. And take-homes (wherever Home is.)

Original StreetCorner Gourmets recipes, prepared overnight on Thanksgiving Eve in our borrowed B-I-G kitchen and in dozens of private homes; delivered hot to the street by whole families, sharing their meal con gusto.
