In this conversation, Max, a “fire killer,” shares his experiences navigating the challenges of parenthood while managing a demanding job. He discusses the unique schedule of a firefighter, the importance of communication and partnership with his wife, and the ups and downs of parenting a young child with a challenging sleep schedule. Max reflects on lessons learned from his own upbringing, the sacrifices his dad made, and the value of community support. The discussion also touches on the role of grandparents and the unique challenges faced by parents raising kids far from immediate family. And the cutest moment of the interview, when Max reveals that whenever his son sees a fire truck, he calls it a Dada Car.
