#42 - Australian Firefighter, Philanthropist and Army Veteran Imposter Chris May Part 1

Burso Season 1 Episode 42

We sit down with Chris May, a serving Firefighter and a director of the 000 Foundation. Chris shares his journey of leadership in firefighting and his remarkable achievements, including his involvement in organizing the Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb. This annual event, which raises funds for mental health services and honors fallen firefighters, saw Chris raise over $14,000 as the second-highest individual fundraiser.

We dive deep into Chris's experience leading fellow firefighters through physically demanding challenges, such as climbing 28 floors in full gear, and how these events raise awareness about PTSD, depression, and suicide prevention within emergency services. Chris also reflects on his personal motivation and resilience, drawing inspiration from those he serves alongside.

Tune in to hear Chris discuss the physical and emotional hurdles of his career, how he combats imposter syndrome, and his role in raising vital funds for mental health awareness through initiatives like the stair climb.

Listen now to get inspired by Chris’s commitment to making a difference both on and off the front lines of firefighting.
