Pushing our Limits

Featuring: Stephan Kesting

In this compelling episode of Hazard Class Podcast, host Jake sits down with Stephan Kesting—a firefighter, jiu-jitsu black belt, adventurer, and content creator—to discuss a life dedicated to perseverance, mastery, and exploration. From surviving a deadly warehouse fire and receiving the Medal of Bravery to solo canoeing a thousand miles through the sub-Arctic after a life-saving kidney transplant, Stephen shares his incredible journey of risk, preparation, and pushing personal limits.

The conversation weaves through firefighting, hazardous materials (hazmat) response, martial arts, YouTube entrepreneurship, and the profound lessons learned from survival in extreme conditions.
