Live Interview: 9/11 Firefighter Tim Brown & Coach Bill Courtney

9/11 firefighter Tim Brown helped save lives that day, but he also lost 100 friends.

Coach Bill Courtney will interview Tim live at Grind City Brewing for his podcast An Army of Normal Folks.

RSVP for free to secure your spot. Only 150 seats are available.

Even though Tim helped save people who were trapped on a dangerous ledge, he doesn't view himself as a hero.

He had been a firefighter with the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) since 1984 and he responded to the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 as a member of Rescue 3, which is department's version of the Navy Seals.

In 1995, Tim joined New York Task Force 1, a FEMA Urban Search and Rescue team, with whom he responded to the Oklahoma City bombing that same year. In 1998, Brown was detailed to the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management, headquartered in 7 World Trade Center.

On the day of 9/11, Tim's job was to assist the Incident Commander, but it pained him not to be an FDNY Special Operations firefighter alongside his Brothers, who each chose to save others knowing it would likely be the last act of their lives.

During the interview, Tim will beautifully pay tribute to his heroic friends and also share the series of miracles that enabled him to survive 9/11.

Coach Bill will interview Tim for 1 hour and then there will be audience Q&A for 30 minutes.

An Army of Normal Folks is a movement and podcast that's led by lifelong Memphian Coach Bill Courtney (subject of the Oscar-winning film Undefeated on Amazon Prime).

It's based on his powerful vision that "Our country's problems will never be solved by a bunch of fancy people in nice suits talking big words on TV, but by An Army of Normal Folks just deciding 'Hey, I can help.'"

The Army has been featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Sherri Show, Mike Rowe's podcast, and on the cover of Guideposts Magazine.
