Firefighter Strength Program
"The Firefighter Strength Program taught me how to push myself past my limits. Before investing in the program, I believed that I was pushing myself when it came to my training; little did I know that I wasn’t. These workouts will be unlike anything you have ever done, I had to get used to being comfortable with being uncomfortable. Markell is very motivational and his nonstop positivity is what gave me the strength to push myself. I would recommend this program to anyone looking to set themselves apart."

Markell is very knowledgeable in the fire service and is a great communicator. He helped me polish my answers and he had me prepared for any firefighter interview questions that came my way. I would say this is one of the most important things a candidate could do. The sessions improved my interview skills drastically and they went a long way in my success throughout the interview process."

One on One Firefighter Interview Prep
"The one on one interview prep was very effective. I really liked the collaboration aspect of it and how I was able to bounce ideas off of Markell. I didn’t realized how hard it was to self-reflect on your own life. It was helpful having someone experienced like Markell listening to your story because he could see it through a different lens. The more time I spent zeroing in on my experience, the more confident I became in telling my story. No matter how each session went, Markell always found a way to leave me off better than I started. I would most definitely recommend the one on one prep sessions! It was night and day for me; it aided me in gaining confidence and pride in my firefighter interview skills."

Firefighter Strength Program
"I have tested in the past and was not successful due to not being physically prepared. This program allows me to know and better my strengths. Markell went through a tough academy himself so he knows what it takes to be successful; I am confident he will get me prepared for a future fire academy. The biggest thing I gained from the Firefighter Strength Program is confidence. Markell knows how to encourage me. My advice for others is to be ready and be committed. If you stick to his advice and his way of working out, you will see results."

Firefighter Interview Guidebook
“Crush Your Firefighter Interview the First Time” was extremely effective for me. Before the book, I was struggling with the structure of my answers as well as the flow of my interview answers. The guidebook provoked thoughts and allowed me to dive deeper into my life story in order to develop strong answers to interview questions. Markell’s explanation on the structure of each interview question calmed my nerves and allowed me to have a route to follow for each question. I would strongly recommend this interview guidebook to others."

One on One Firefighter Interview Prep
"Before the One on One Interview prep sessions, I was struggling with portraying myself and traits confidently in an interview setting. The sessions were extremely effective in helping me figure out my ideas and plan it in a format that I was comfortable to display it in my interview. I gained a lot of new information on certain aspects of the job as well as pulling characteristics or instances of my life that I did not realize could correlate with the job of being a firefighter. What I liked best about the prep sessions was having the opportunity to work one on one with Markell. He helped me pull information from my life that I never would have thought to use, and hearing his story was a big motivation for me. I would highly recommend the one on one prep sessions to to others, as it is a very helpful tool to prep for a firefighter interview. "

One on One Firefighter Interview Prep
"While preparing for my first interview process, I quickly realized I was preparing completely wrong and I did not know what to expect from the firefighter interview. When I came to Markell for the one on one interview prep, I gained great insight on how I should structure my interview answers in a way that promotes myself in a positive but humble way. We also discussed some of the specific things members on the interview board may be looking for in potential recruits. One of the best parts of the one on one sessions was that Markell would give examples by answering the questions himself as if he were doing the interview. He knew I learned best by hearing/seeing how things should look like, and this was a great way for me to grasp how I should prepare and structure my responses. I would highly recommend this to candidates, especially if you are starting to apply and go through the processes for the first time like me."

He is also great with understanding the learning style of the specific person he is training. He has a very positive outlook and helps you to remain positive throughout the training. Trust the process, and always push yourself and you will see results."
