Book excerpt: Journey with Scott Mulvaney into the world of elite Wildland Firefighters, better known as the Hotshots. So You Want to Be a Hotshot? is the story of how he experienced life-changing brotherhood and fought to find his place on a team that eventually became his second family. Many people struggle to find passion and purpose in their major life decisions involving career, education, relationships, and more. Mulvaney's struggles and ensuing transformation will inspire and motivate you to make positive changes and take healthy risks. Mulvaney was not on the firefighting career track. When he decided to become a Hotshot, he left behind a world of safety that close friends and family called him crazy to abandon. Gone was his all-consuming career, and his freshly completed bachelor's degree promising a more fulfilling life. He is the first to tell you that university life and college are not necessary for everyone. And it is not for everyone.Mulvaney didn't want that safe life path, and through choosing an alternative, and off-beat route, he proves that anyone can start over at any time. Even you. This book is not just a memoir of him grappling to find his place in the world, of him sharing his life lessons; it's an inspirational message to embrace the suck, to embrace the changes. To discover that you truly can motivate yourself to grow to new heights. Throughout these pages, Mulvaney, aka Mulventure, as some of his Hotshot brothers christened him, hopes to positively impact you to find your own Hotshot path in life-whether you want to reinvigorate your career, relationships, or any area of your life. So You Want to Be a Hotshot? will get you as Fueled Up as Mulvaney was when first learning about the world of wildland firefighting. That passion only increased once he became immersed in the schooling and culture that taught him the Wildland Firefighter Leadership Values of Duty, Respect, and Integrity. These values became his mantra and are continuously instilled into all facets of his businesses, relationships, and lifestyle goals. Heck, he even has them tattooed on his ribs!
