Fitz Koehler sits down with Earl Barnes, a full-duty firefighter who lost his lower leg in a motorcycle crash—and somehow came back stronger, faster, and funnier. Earl walks through the long road of surgeries, evolving prosthetic technology, and learning to train and race with a blade, all while returning to the firehouse and chasing Ironman finish lines.
What makes this conversation special isn’t just the comeback—it’s Earl’s upbeat attitude and sharp sense of humor. He breaks down the practical realities of prosthetics, life on the job, and swim-bike-run logistics, while sharing the mindset and communication skills that helped him push through setbacks without losing his joy.
Inspiring, honest, and unexpectedly fun—this episode proves resilience pairs best with perspective. 💪😄
