Today we focus on being uprooted by wildfire. It was actually the LA wildfires of January, 2025, that first motivated me to create this podcast.
Well, I was so saddened to see people having to evacuate due to the fires, including one of my relatives. Then later this year, when I heard about the wildfires that took homes in Oklahoma, I felt compelled to share about one family's strength throughout this all. Meet Scott McKinley, product manager by day, musician at heart. based in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Scott plays with the Celtic band Waxy Dargles, and he shares his life with his wife, Brittany, their young children and dogs. But On March 14th, 2025, everything changed for them when devastating fires swept through Stillwater, destroying homes, including Scott's.
In the aftermath, as smoke still lingered in the air, Scott stood before the ruins of his home and played Amazing Grace on his bagpipes. This moment was captured on video and it went viral and became a symbol of resilience.
