Early in his career, Kingston firefighter Michael Laughlin was seriously injured in a
snowmobile accident that threatened not just his physical recovery, but his place in the fire service itself.
In Part I of Mind Over Fire, Michael walks us through his younger years, the realities of
recovering from a major injury in a profession built on strength and endurance, and the quiet pressure of proving himself while his body was still healing. This episode explores what happens when identity, purpose, and livelihood collide early on, and how resilience is shaped long before anyone is watching.
