BEING A FIREFIGHTER IS NO JOKE. THEY DO BACKBREAKING WORK, RISKING (AND SOMETIMES LOSING) THEIR LIVES SAVING PEOPLE AND PROPERTY.  CLOSER TO HOME, ON 9/11/01, THE FDNY LOST 343 FIREFIGHTERS.

THESE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN ARE TRAINED TO RUN TOWARD DANGER WHEN OTHERS RUN AWAY FROM IT. 

THEY ARE TRUE HEROES. IN APPRECIATION OF INTERNATIONAL FIREFIGHTERS DAY ON MAY 4, YOU’LL MEET A TRAILBLAZING FIRE CHIEF, GET SOME HISTORY ON FIREFIGHTERS, AND MORE! 

She’s all that.

She’s no joke.

She is a powerhouse! 

“The Giles Files”loves us some Sheila Johnson! 

Take a listen and you’ll know why. 

Her business savvy made her the first black female billionaire in America. And her moving autobiography “Walk Through Fire: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Triumph” reads like a dramatic screenplay.  It was a fun and inspiring conversation with one of the most creative minds we’ve ever met.
