Description

Originally from the Thousand Oaks, CA area,  Corey Martin is a Los Angeles County firefighter who is married with two children. Corey grew up riding and racing motocross with aspirations of racing professionally. However, injuries hindered that goal and, eventually, he found his way to becoming the transport driver for the TLD/Red Bull racing team during their tenure with Honda and KTM.In today's episode, we dive into Corey's early years of racing motocross, the journey to becoming a transport driver for the TLD/Red Bull racing team, how and why he decided to transition into a career as a firefighter with L.A county, the mental health aspect of the job, some wild stories about fighting fires, dealing with a gang member shooting, and so much more. This was a rad conversation with a genuine human, and I am very thankful that Corey was so transparent in sharing his ebbs and flows within the fire service and navigating some challenging times because of the things he sees and deals with on a daily basis. I hope all with enjoy this conversation and walk away with some new perspectives about the fire service and Corey's story.
