YouTube + New Community Report + Video Series

Over the past year I’ve tried to be more thoughtful about our impact in serving the fire protection industry.

The long story short is that I started MeyerFire to share and relate experiences, and hopefully give back to our purpose-filled industry that does a lot of good in the world.
​
At our core, we look for meaningful gaps and try to think of creative ways to help address them. Sometimes those are social challenges, sometimes it’s about awareness, sometimes they’re highly technical, sometimes free and easy and sometimes the answers are nearly all-consuming.
 
In the coming weeks, I hope to add a few flavors to what we do at MeyerFire.

#1 MEYERFIRE ON YOUTUBE (+ OTHER PLATFORMS)
First, and probably the most visible, is to share more information on free platforms.

Starting today and more regularly in the future, we’ll share short segments of our University content on YouTube.

We’re creating so much new content now that we’ll still always have 10X more content on the main University, even if we shared multiple takes a week.

I hope to advocate and build awareness of our discipline beyond just our community.

If you see MeyerFire videos or content on the platforms (YouTube, Instagram, and others), please support the cause! The video below just came out today.

There’s nothing like a drag-out MMA-style fight in the comments section of YouTube, so if you see our stuff, please help us out! Like, follow, subscribe, and encourage civil commentary.

More free video content coming to YouTube regularly, like this new video today. Like and subscribe to our channel!

I hope to share more good in the world and support what you all do every day with visibility and advocacy, and getting material outside of our walls is a big opportunity to do so.
 
#2 NEW COMMUNITY REPORT NEXT FRIDAY
Perhaps the biggest question we get at conferences or around town is “What are you doing now? What’s new?”
​
As a second initiative, aside from sharing more outside our bounds, we’re introducing our first Community Report. That’s coming next Friday.

A new Community Report showing our initiatives and actions to better the industry. Coming next Friday.

With it, I’d like to share what in the industry we’re trying to improve, and what we’re tangibly doing to make change happen.

Many people are unaware of all that we actually do, nor of all the tools available to them. My hope with this new Community Report is to offer more transparency, showing how we’re putting our goals into motion.
 
#3 NEW SHORT VIDEO SERIES ON TODAY’S LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, JUNE 9TH
Lastly, in the next three weeks, I’ll be sharing a short video commentary (five-part series of short clips) talking about today’s learning environment.

A new five part video series with commentary on today's learning environments starts June 9th.

Learning today is so much different than it was a decade or two ago, and in this series I hope to speak on some of the challenges (expense, AI) and opportunities in that change.

So be on the lookout for our special video series starting on Monday, June 9th.
 
Thanks for taking part in the community here – exciting times ahead!
