Importance of education

On this episode of Driven: Unscripted Success, Mike Mannino Sr. and Nareman Hamdan sit down with Michael Knight, Fire Chief at the NASA Space Center. Michael shares his inspiring journey from skipping the traditional college path to building a career through relentless education, certifications, and leadership training.

Michael takes us inside the world of firefighting, from responding to life-and-death emergencies to handling extraordinary situations — including a rocket transport vehicle colliding with power lines at NASA. He also opens up about the mental health challenges first responders face and how he and his partners launched Purchase Vitality, a virtual mental health company dedicated to supporting veterans and first responders.
