The Vault Expert | Terryl Quinn: Leadership Under Fire

In this episode of The Vault Expert, host Patti Katter sits down with Terryl Quinn, a firefighter with over 20 years of frontline experience, to talk about leadership when lives are on the line.

Terryl shares the defining moments that shaped his career, from a life-altering tragedy in his early twenties to rising through the ranks of one of the busiest firehouses in his city. He explains why true leadership is revealed not by authority, but by how a team performs when the leader is not present.

The conversation dives into discipline, trust, fear, failure, and responsibility, along with what it physically and mentally takes to do the job of a firefighter. Terryl also opens up about why he stepped away from the fire service, why he came back, and what ultimately drove him to write his book, The Calling.

This episode is for firefighters, public servants, leaders in any field, and anyone who believes leadership is about example, accountability, and getting back up after failure.
