In this powerful episode, we’re joined by our first guest, Jimmy Apple, a paramedic and TikTok creator known as @EMSAvenger. Jimmy's raw authenticity and humor have resonated with over 67k followers, and in this conversation, he takes us deeper into the realities of life on the frontlines.

We dive into his most thought-provoking themes, including the idea of "EMS attracting broken people," the profound emotional "aftermath" of tough calls, and the dangers of unhealthy coping mechanisms. Jimmy also speaks candidly about the internal toxicity of the "rumor mill" in EMS and the courageous work of building a culture of kindness and genuine support.

This is a vital conversation that confronts the core of our "silent war," offering powerful insights into how to find healing and connection in a demanding and often unforgiving environment.
